It is very common people have misconception of Tai Ji. It just like we watch two men fighting to each other with sword (martial art sword in this case) in the movie. Frankly speaking, that is for entertainment purpose only. In reality, the sword will become saw not sword anymore if you use it to fight like that.

When someone mention about Tai Ji, people will related it as great exercise for the elderly. This is partially true. The elderly certainly benefit from practicing Tai Ji. But, it is not only for the elderly but for young people too. I start my Tai Ji lesson together with friends of mine at age 16. Yes, I start to learn Tai Ji while I was 16. I still remember we were practicing Tai Ji together with elderly in the garden during weekend. What we did there? We were competing to the elderly who was the slower in Tai Ji movement. Sounds crazy?

Time flies, I already abroad about a year in Finland. But, today I would like to share one Malaysian’s abroad experiences.

hi there ! after about 7 months working in Finland, my personally experience is :

1. Have to adjust myself, in terms of office culture, to suit the Finnish style. Asian office normally very busy hectic, here more ‘relax’ and paperless

2. Go back from work sharp sharp 4pm ! even manager level

3. Weekend no one will call you from office, hardly as they respect privacy very very much

4. No traffic jam, that’s for sure. Furhtermore I am in a small town called Mikkeli, about 260km from Helsinki

5. work and rest are very balance……… Finland is full of nature view and best air quality you could even get in the world

6. No so much ‘Pat Gua’ stories about other people personal life in the office, at least in my office and those Finnish that I know

7. Working here and earning Euro allow ones to travel around European countries at a very reasonable price ……. lots of budget airlines, hotels and car rental….cannot convert laa……. if 1 to 1 basis, have higher quality of life I suppose

8. In terms of friends, quite easy to get friends if you drink beers and wine, but over here the hospitality is nothing compared to Asian hospitality……… not so much…… just maybe hi hi bye bye friends

9. In terms of food, simply western food, a fresh salad and a piece of pork, chicken or beef, will be a complete meal for them. Very simple and nothing compared to Asian variety as well
