Kaola helps Chinese shop online with languid grace

Thanks to kaola.com, younger Chinese might now have difficulty spelling "koala" correctly.

Despite the Chinglish name, the e-commerce site connects the Chinese with products such as Australia's natural skincare lotion, infant formula and koala dolls with a few clicks of the mouse.

And it's more than just Australia - products from more than 40 countries and regions are now available via the cross-border trading platform, which is owned by Nasdaq-listed internet and gaming firm NetEase Inc.
