Passion for Shopping

The fact that Chinese people spend fortunes on purchasing different kinds of products on Taobao (the most famous website for online shopping in China) is a reflection of their passion for shopping. On average, Chinese people spend at least three hours browsing Taobao pages every day, and it’s often the only thing some Chinese girls do during lunch breaks. Well, if you are also addicted to shopping, we have a popular phrase for you to learn.
