I am not sure if all the girls are the same around the world, but below are three most popular things we Chinese lovely ladies do during our free time. 1. Online shopping Online shopping maybe the most common activity for Chinese girls. Some cannot live without online shopping and can really use up a lot of free time on it.

Most of my American friends asked me where I bought that delicious Chinese snacks after I shared some with them. The first place they come up with is Chinatown, I admit that is a good place to find some popular Chinese snacks, however, I rarely go there for snacks. Most of Chinese in America use an online store to get their favorites, not only cheaper, but more options are available. This foodie heaven website is Yamibuy.com ,  which is a leading e-commerce website founded in 2013, with a focus on most popular Asian products, especially top-notch Asian snacks.
