Interestingly enough they won’t charge anything directly in their Chinese version. They seem to want to get market share first. I […]

It’s hot and I just had a trial class Mandarin. Although having
studied it before it was time to get a real teacher involved again.

There has been a lot of talk recently about the property bubble in the Shanghai real estate market. Prices have soared to more than 20000 Kuai/Square Meter and they just seem to like the sky.
The local government is trying to cool things a bit but it has to be seen if this will have any […]

Had a nice trip to the Shangyang market again, the part where they sell real stuff like real meat and vegetables. Before that we had wandered in Maominglu finding summer clothes. My white face seems to be a price increase indicator. One saleswoman told me that 400 Kuai is only 40 euri, well, […]
Whenever I start laughing out loud in front of my screen I might as well share it with the rest of the world. I do understand though if my humour is not the same as yours. Greenpeace just released a report about genetically modified rice in China and says “The GE industry is out of […]
I guess Monday is China business day. As the Bank of Communications is on a mission to get investor’s money (they want to IPO) they are in the process of doing a “Window dressing” operation. Today there is the news that they “punished one in 20 of its employees last year for corruption and […]
