Chinese New Year

This is the first time when I have a holiday because of Chinese New Year ! I'm so excited because I actually don't know anything about it. But now I have chance to see decorations and some Chinese new year things. Those opportunities I would not have in Finland.

I am maybe a little bit embarassed because my knowledge is so bad about CNY and it is a big thing in Asia. I think I will read something about it on the web when I have time.

I'm waiting to see how people celebrate and act when is Chinese new year. And also I am waiting to see all beautiful decorations in the shopping malls and on the streets. I had already put some decorations to my room. One is some frog which gives a good luck. I think that it's beutiful: red, black and gold. That is given by my mother.

I am happy now because I have one week time to forget school and just relax. I will do all my homework before weekend so I don't need to work on vacation. That means that I have more time to shop. I love shopping especially in Singapore because everything is so much cheaper than in Finland !

But anyway, Happy Chinese New Year !

Mc -King- Donalds


When you are walking in the city or in a shopping mall, you can realize all the fast food restaurants which are close together and look a little bit same. Like logos of McDonalds and Burger King are on the same colours. Is the Burger King just a copy of McDonalds or is it totally different hamburger restaurant? I believe that most of the people would recommend McDonalds more than Burger King.

There are many same things on both restaurants but McDonalds is the most developed and they have more 'own things' than Burger King has. Good example of that is McDonalds' children parties. There kids can have a birthday party and the kids' meals are more interested than Burger King's. Many people know that with a Happy Meal kids get a nice little box and a toy. That you would not get on Burger King. Maybe that's why kids love McDonalds.

The meals are put together with a same things: french fries, a hamburger and a soda. The drink companies are not same with McDonalds and Burger King and the hamburgers are a little bit different, for instance Burger King has more vegetables on their burgers. Maybe that's why I have heard to say that Burger King is healthier. That can also be a reason why McDonalds is more famous: people like a delicious food. So, if the food is not healthy, it is delicious because of the fat what makes food taste good.

Some people say that Burger King is just a copy of McDonalds but some people's mind is different. Of course there are same things because the both restaurants are specialized for hamburgers. But most of the people think that McDonalds is the winner, but who knows, maybe Burger King will take the win someday.

I miss you


Now I am back in Singapore and here is so hot ! In Finland there was snow and very cold.
But I would love to go back to Finland because I already miss my friends so much. I saw many of my friends and we had a great time together.
I wouldn't want to be at school but I really have to ! But luckily, I think this school is easier than Finnish school. Only the language is easier in Finland to me.
