Life in China is like going to the gym, first you suffer, then you get the reward. Ep 37⬇See more below⬇

It's my first weekend in Beijing after I moved to China. I still have some friends in Beijing from my students exchange times. Sandy is one of those friends I met when I was studying at the Beijing Foreign Studies University.

We had coffee with Sandy at Solana shopping mall near Liangmaqiao area. Getting to the Solana shopping mall was such a struggle, I had difficulties to find it because the staff member at the subway station instructed me to the wrong direction. Anyhow, after all the struggles I finally found Solana shopping mall and met with Sandy.

It was so lovely to meet with Sandy after all these years. Sandy taught me some local North-Eastern Chinese dialect. I think it's fun to learn Chinese dialects, although I have confess I barely know any words in any Chinese dialects. I also taught Sandy some Finnish.

I realised that this day was a typical example of life in China, how it resembles going to the gym. First you have to suffer before you succeed. But once you succeed, man, it feels good! Life in China can be so much fun!
