F2F Class Notes (Tibo) [S]

Putuo mountain is a famous place for Chinese to pray for the Buddha it is an interesting travel for me.
Because of the pandemic a lot of people cant go to other countries but I cannot imagine that so many people cannot traveling in China. I saw a lot of people. A huge number of people.
So you can imagine that in holiday how many people are there and we talk about because he is from TW and they have some special religions.

It is special she is a woman and she protects the people who work in the sea and in China in the mainland buddhism is very serious we go to the temple and we prey but there especially for people who people who believe in her they will have a ceremony like dancing and singing and have a parade.

In China especially in mainland we don’t do that we think it is very serious you need to use the most sincerely and be devout if you don’t do that Buddha will not protect you.

Actually yesterday is not a big day for us this year because the Tmall they have pre sales on the first day of this month and I bought everything on that day so yesterday I just checked if there was something I forgot.
Around these days we have lots of WeChat groups just to talk about what things we need to buy.
Sometimes you don’t feel you need to buy something but your friends will remind you.
Because of that I still store lots of napkins I bought the year before last year an I think it is tricky that the brands they will will make very packages for the consumers and it must be the most worth./ the best value but it is more than what you need.
 so the delivery is too busy to deliver your package and they work from day to night and I got a phone call yesterday at 11pm. He told me you have package and can I send it right now and I heard it is not just in China. For now the Alibaba sold the idea of this festival all around the world.

They are not so fever of the big shopping days.
Most people just go to offline shops to buy something but your time is limited so if you go to the offline you just go one or two but if you shop online it is convenient
They told me the first app they download when they have a new phone is WeChat and taobao.
