I would love to!
Just not sure there is a big enough market there yet...a lot of people still seem to think that you must be a stripper to pole dance so I think girls might be apprehensive to try it out.

Pole Dancing and Pool Party
Haven't updated my blog for some days now, I've been so busy this weekend :) Friday I went to Khaya Kwanga again, got a stupid tan. Managed to get a white hand print on my thigh (how do I do these things???). Afterwards I was supposed to have an interview but it got re-scheduled for this afterno...
nope sorry, never seen chinese scrabble in real life.
But I would strongly recommend a program called Anki (http://ichi2.net/anki/)
its for free and it is great for learning characters. I use it pretty much everyday :)

Chinese Scrabble
I really wonder how you play Scrabble in Chinese...do they have pictures of all the characters and then you have to put them together to make words? Seems like it from the image below: In any case it seems to be quite difficult... Im going to ask Campbell to buy us a Chinese Scrabble game fr...
Thanks!
Im glad to hear that you have gotten a wonderful son and everything worked out for your friend!
Yes bureaucrats are like robots, they can only process what they have programmed to do, hence they cant think rationally when something unexpected occurs.

Adoption: God is better than parents?
Reading about the earth quake in Haiti there is an article on all the orphans that are now left to fend for themselves and adoption of these children. I started googling for information on adoption (no Im not planning on adopting anyone right now but I really would like to in the future) and I ...

Moving my blog
I have decided to move my blog to wordpress, it is better and easier to organise. In the event that wordpress would once again be blocked here in China will continue the blog on this site. My new address then is: www.shanghaisigrid.wordpress.com See you there!

Who is Loro Horta?
Loro Horta.... the man behind the media hype of China's "invasion" in Mozambique. Every one cites him and quotes him and refer to his research on China's large scale farming ambitions in Mozambique. Yet...I haven't been able to find a single shred of evidence that there is ANY Chinese farms existing or planned in Mozambique. The National directorate for land in Mozambique had not even heard of such requests. Funny how words travel.... Deborah Brautigam a professor at the American University was in touch with Loro Horta (I myself cannot get a reply from him). Unfortunately Loro Horta could not... Continue reading

Good News and Bad News
Good news is that I managed to put down 995 words on my thesis in 2 hours! What a writing spurt. Good news no. 2 is that I am going out with Bex to the 92nd floor bar this evening. They have free champagne for ladies tonight :) I don't really like champagne...but hey, as an economist and student I need to maximise resources available to me! Last time I was there it was so much fun, just lots of women, hardly any men at all. Great atmosphere and live music + fantastic views from almost 500 m up in... Continue reading

As if time wasn't in shortage already....
Ooooh noooo... Due to the forceful earthquake that just happened in Chile the day has become shorter. As if we weren't pressed for time already! Sigh! This means my thesis deadline is approaching even quicker! Alright, so it's only 1.26/1 000 000 second less per day...but still, time is of the essence! Must...work....faster.... Continue reading

Yup!
They have them in every park + hooks on the trees for you to hang off your bag in case you feel for some spontaneous stretching.
But...that of course would require low crime rates...

Chinese Lunar Festival: Tiger Tiger
So we have reached the end of new years celebrations. No more banging and shooting of fire crackers, waking up 7 am in the morning momentarily thinking you live in a war zone. Finally being able to speak on the phone again. I had heard that the Lunar Festival would be celebrated in YuYuan Garden...
