To them, those Chinese faces – they're just there, to serve you at overpriced bar venues, to gape at you on the subway, and to hassle you on the streets to buy their junk. Those expats never get to see the real side of Shanghai like some Chinese-Americans do – they don't get to chat with the highly opinionated taxi driver who can tell you in vivid detail about the hardships of Chinese working-class life and how the people really felt when…

    "On 16 May 1966, the Chinese Communist Party launched the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and unleashed the Ten Years of Turmoil. I suggest that we set this day aside as a National Day of Reflection. Here's what I've learnt: Blind belief in any one group or leader will not give us true democracy or real rule of law. Without democracy, there can be no freedom or participation in the system, and anyone can turn from unbridled zeal to violence. Without rule of law, there is no way to equitably protect the rights of citizens, and anyone can become a victim." [ more › ]

At the end of the day, NDRC officials leave the building with big and small bags. They can't use all the stuff, so they sell them back to the gift shops, who in turn resell them to others who have come to Beijing on a mission. So that's what's happened to our street." […

    It’s now much easier for you and your commenters to keep track of the conversations you’re involved in across WordPress.com. Some recent tests have shown that by subscribing commenters to new comments by default, they are more likely to stay engaged and come back and comment more on your blog. With that knowledge, we’ve changed the default comment following behavior to help you get more conversations going on your blog. We made the initial changes last week and after great feedback from you we just launched an update. Here’s how it works: By default, posting a comment…

  • China’s Titanic Nude Scene

    18 Apr 2012 | 7:04 pm
    In truth, there are only a couple of things I know for sure about China. One, if you’re in a big city, you’re never more than two blocks from a great meal; two, the stop lights are voluntary; and three, Titanic is huge. Thus, it came as no surprise to anyone here that – over the [...]

    Several months ago I had the opportunity to travel to the notorious southern Chinese e-waste recycling hub of Guiyu. It was an interesting visit during which it became apparent that many assumptions currently held about e-waste processing in China are no longer current. Of these, perhaps the most important is the blanket assumption that foreign [...]

  • In China, you’re more likely to beat the hell out of your doctor, than sue him.

    On Thursday China Daily reported that 17,000 violent incidents took place in Chinese hospital in 2010, affecting roughly 70 percent of all public hospitals in China. What’s a “violent incident?” By and large, it’s an act of aggression by a patient, or a patient’s family, against a medical practitioner. This week I take a deeper look [...]

  • Shopping behind the temple

    12 May 2012 | 7:29 pm
    A few weekends ago Li was traveling and I was on my own on a Sunday afternoon.  I had exercised in the morning with my trainer, gone to the grocery store and had been about as productive as possible during the day.  After debating with myself whether I would stay in and watch TV or get out of the house, I eventually went for a nice long walk. It was a windy day, but not too cold and oddly clear weather for Shanghai’s spring.  My apartment is close to Wen Miao which is a small temple but quite historic.  I decided to head that way – I thought it was likely the temple had…

  • Afternoon Tea @ The Lobby

    12 May 2012 | 7:20 pm
    On a saturday afternoon, I gathered some friends for Afternoon Tea.  We decided to go to The Lobby at the Peninsula Hotel, which was highly regarded by one of my favorite shanghai food bloggers Sugared & Spiced. I would definitely recommend a light lunch before going because everything was incredibly sweet and the small portion of savory bites probably won’t satiate your salty cravings.  Go with a group of friends and order both towers to maximize your opportunity to try everything! Americans use the terms Afternoon Tea and High Tea interchangeably, but I wanted to understand the…

    Tesco Classic Rich Roast Instant Coffee, Kenco 3 in 1 Smooth White Coffee, Taylors of Harrogate Lazy Sunday Coffee. We are bombarded by different types of home-brew coffee everyday; yet we still ‘go out’ for coffee, making it a true geographic phenomenon. With the contemporary iteration on globalisation, multinational coffee chains have emerged from new consumption patterns and liberal flows of global capital. Spaces of production are being restructured and renegotiated into spaces of consumption. Foreign direct investment into China in the last two decades has been a key driver of…

DC seafood restaurant (特等舱餐厅), or "Super-class Restaurant" in Chinese, treats diners with steaming congee and hot pot fare served by waitresses dressed as flight attendants.

  • World’s weirdest themed restaurants

    by Duncan ForganEating out should always be an experience. Yet while the food is generally the star attraction at most decent restaurants, other venues are more memorable for factors other than their bill of fare. Some might deem them gimmicky. We prefer to use the term "theatrical." 1. Hobbit House: Manila, Philippines They're not big, but it is clever.Is it really OK to refer to a dwarf as a Hobbit? Well, it was certainly more acceptable to do so in the early 1970s when Jim Turner, a former college professor and Peace Corps volunteer, not to mention a complete Tolkein geek, opened this…
