    Last Sunday night, 150 rock fans shook off their umbrellas and entered the smoky, dark and cavernous Yuyintang with a look of anticipation in their eyes. Purple and red lighting exposed the porthole windows and the splattered paint along the walls. Framed black and white photographs of musicians and two large colorful paintings resembling a god chicken adorned the venue. The dungy, hip atmosphere of Yuyintang gives one the impression of a basement meets submarine, serving as the perfect setting for the final show in the "Can I have Some Mohanik" 2012 tour.

    I don’t know how you spent your Friday afternoon, but I doubt it was more amazing than W+K Shanghai’s Wonton Making Competition. 我不知道你上周五如何过，但怀疑不如W+K上海的馄饨比赛更精彩。 At noon, everyone rushed toward the third floor kitchen, either to join the competition or to spectate. Thirteen WKers competed in the “Fastest Wonton Maker” category, in which the first person who finished wrapping 15 wontons would win, or the “Best Looking Wonton” category—where Jason, Achilles, Ayi, and three WKers would judge the most delicious and aesthetically…

Thousands upon thousands of people, most of whom sported neon-orange t-shirts, arrived at the World Expo China Pavilion for Nike’s 10K Lunar Run. I, along with twenty WKers, squeezed through the crowd with our bright red W+K Shanghai banner fluttering in the wind. 我从来没见这么多人在早上7:15 聚会。一万多名穿着橙色运动服的跑步爱好者在上海市世博园中国馆参加2011耐克10公里跑步活动。我与二十名WKers 拿着鲜红色的W+K 横幅，钻入人山人海。 Promptly…

    Though little noted outside of China, pregnancy and contraception have been among the most commented upon topics on Chinese microblogs and newspaper editorial pages over the last month.

    In Shanghai, China there are these stalls purely devoted to selling magazines and newspapers. Unlike here in Brissy where you have to go to your nearest newsagent or supermarket, these stalls are scattered all over Shanghai, at least one every main street I’d say. Magazines are so cheap aswell, I really couldn’t make a proper objective decision as to whether I should buy one or not. And hence, now own a chinese copy of my favourite magazine, despite my minimal ability to read chinese. And so, here’s a general, general comparative analysis of a Chinese Marie Claire and an…

    I was briefly in China (in and near Shanghai), and tried to eat a little bit of everything… but nothing really stood out. Partly, I like the Shanghai style of food less (a lot of sweet sauces and heavy, oily food). Mostly, I think I just wasn’t eating at the right places, and was eating some meals at or near hotels and didn’t have much time to explore. Oh well, I’ll have to go back with some actual restaurant research. My one new-to-me find was dragon fruit (pitaya), the red-skinned fruit with black seeds in white flesh below– a mild but pleasant and…

    Happy New Year! Most of my Chinese clients and friends are on holiday today, celebrating this auspicious time of year with their families and a cacophony of very loud fireworks. (I was in China during one New Year and thought World War 3 was taking place outside my hotel room window- the booms and crashes were earsplitting and the Shanghai night sky had turned a foggy burnt umber.) I thought I would see if there was anything I could learn from this Chinese New Year- the Year of the Dragon. I found this rather sweet Chinese horoscope guide  and I love their description of the dragon:…

    I had a big delivery of plasterboards at my house this morning, around 10am. Plasterboards are the material that walls are made out of, and unfortunately we had to move more than 100 of them up into the barn where I am building a house (if you want to see more of it, have a look at BuildAHouseWithMe.com). The whole place looks pretty full now (a mess), but I have enough materials for the next four months of building (AT LEAST). So anyway it took about 6 hours to shift them, and it would have been a lot longer if there wasn’t an EXPERT TRACTOR DRIVER on hand to help: Just as we were…

    Some people emailed me recently asking what I do. I have no good answer for this, so let’s just say that I dig holes and move the turf to other places. Today I did that, for five hours NON STOP. That’s a lot of turf. The good news is that in future I’ll be able to use the new hole for a chili pepper garden! Sweet! Or spicy. If you want to learn about how to grow chili peppers then you can look here! Hot! Here are some pics: So after the soil and grass was dug up it was moved to here: That’s unholey! What turf!

    Since I’ve been in France, I’ve started eating a lot more beef. There is something very traditional about living in the countryside and eating farm-fresh meat, however I had previously never felt the urge. Now, however, it seems that I’ve turned into some sort of wild animal. A week ago I had a pretty MAN-SIZED steak, cooked medium… Then a couple of days later I decided to try (for the first time in my life) rare beef… And last night I hit a new life-milestone. Raw beef (boeuf tartare), which I previously thought was some sort of myth. Do you know why it looks…

  • Lust caution: Lifting the lid on erotic Shanghai

    Andrea Fenn
    24 Jan 2012 | 3:57 pm
    by Andrea FennAs Cole Porter might well have sung: "Birds do it, bees do it, Chinese -- in their millions -- do it." A culture preoccupied with "face," a strong sense of privacy and an unfriendly political climate have made Chinese people more apprehensive about eroticism than residents in the libertine capitalist strongholds elsewhere in the world. At least in Shanghai, however, behind the facade there's a world to discover. Kara Bierley, the 24-year-old Texas-born owner of adult shop Amy’s Bedroom, has already opened her second branch in the city, and she declares Shanghainese people love…

Take Shanghai for example. Here, the venue of choice for many is Longhua temple. Longhua Temple (龙华寺) The largest, oldest and most complete ancient temple complex in the city, the 20,000-square-meter Longhua Temple dates back 1,800 years or more.  Like in most temples in China, don't expect to see original buildings in Longhua. Most of the present-day structures dates from later…

This number accounts for nearly 60 percent of the worldwide aviation net profit, which was estimated to be US$ 6.9 billion by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). It’s also roughly four times the European output and twice as much as what U.S. airlines were expected to earn for the same period of time, according to the same report.
