'Must Read' information about giving birth. Shame it's all in Chinese really.

Er, is this a shock story? Or a touching heartfelt story? It being 2 pages
long I don't think I have the time to find out...! Thanks anyway though

Black eyed peas in Shanghai

The american hip hop band Black Eyed Peas came to Shanghai this week.  Managed to buy tickets on the day, which I thought was amazing.  They would have sold out months in advance in the UK.  Interestingly it looked like they had only sold half of the tickets by lunchtime that day of the concert.  30 minutes into the programme though, the place looked pretty full.  Leaving the metro station there were touts (red cows I believe they are called in chinese...) first buying spare tickets and then later selling excess tickets, all at a discount.
 
This in contrast to Beijing, where because the venue was much smaller it sold out before the start of the concert. 
 
I wonder how the touts know which concert will be a success.  Are they that in on the scene?  They seem to operate in a team.  I asked one buyer of tickets if I could instead buy a ticket from him.  He simply nodded me on, indicating that there would be plenty of others.  Also, when buying my ticket from the organiser, I was told to buy before 2pm.  Could it be that the unsold tickets at 2pm of the day were passed to a tout organisation at a discount?
 
I could write more about the feel of the concert and the party attitudes of the french and locals at the concert, but I have a few more diagrams to draw right now :)

Shanghai Overseas Returned Scholars Association (SORSA)

http://www.china-sorsa.org/default.asp
上海市欧美同学会

Gosh these people have a serious mission. I hope they have parties!

The Shanghai Overseas Returned Scholars Association (SORSA) is an NGO that came into beinin 1913 on the initiative of some returned students from overseas with expertise in a wide range of disciplines and professions. Since the resumption of its activities on September 3, 1984, the membership of SORSA has increased to more than 5,600, including 250 overseas members. Among its present members, 57 are academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and 22, the Chinese Academy of Engineering. To streamline its organization for effective functioning and cohesion, over 40 chapters have been set up.

SORSA aims at promoting unity among scholars living in and outside of China, fostering friendship among them, carrying out academic and information exchange and promoting cooperation, serving in a word as a kind of nexus and bridge for the rejuvenation of China and for boosting prosperity in Shanghai, with all its members fully dedicated to the building of socialist material, spiritual and political civilization in the country. SORSA's day-to-day activities include sponsoring lectures, forums, symposiums and friend gatherings; editing and publishing in-house newsletters and periodicals and also collections of papers; organizing special-focus visits and tours so that members can pool and give play to their expertise across disciplines and professional fields in making suggestions and giving advice; and also helping the city to attract the service of high-caliber professionals, make use of new technologies and bring in investment funds in the interest of its social, economic and cultural development.

Couch Potato - TV guides

I've been looking for interesting / educational programs to work on my Chinese. Ideally... business related, travel related, or just something that young people can watch. Having a video recorder helps a lot with this. I got a hard drive video recorder so that I could record a lot and then figure out what I wanted to watch.

Business things I'm following...
Boss town 波士堂 kind of fun interviews, saturday 11am CBN
Brainstorm 头脑风暴 saturday 4pm CBN
Strategic Decisions 决策 (not quite sure when or what channel yet)

touristy things i'm following on cctv9
Travelogue (weekly)
Culture Express (saturday edition has a 10 minute cookery thing)
Discovering China (cultural stuff)
Travel in Chinese (but too basic for me now)

fun things i'm following
qianjinqingyuan 千金情缘 a dramatic young and modern taiwanese soap

wedding invite

i say
my first real wedding invitation in china.  only a few weeks' notice, wonder if that's normal.  i plan to go along if I can, it should be fun.  jessica ma & a chap called danny - congratulations!  haha jessica says she has some friends she wants to introduce to me... oh dear :)
 
so... what's the protocol now?  Having received an invitation I beleive i'm supposed to hand over some money.  Do I stick it in a red envelope and give it to my friend now?  At the wedding? 
 
And what does 'formal dress' mean?  I guess I should brush up nicely in a suit.  I just remember seeing so many others in jeans and very very very casual clothes... hope I don't look odd amongst a whole lot of those!

Nice Indian restaurant in the Ruijin Binguan

Next to face bar, well, around the back of Face bar, is an indian restaurant called Hazara.  North indian frontier cuisine apparently.  Lovely lovely place.  Excellent for special dates or showing a gem of Shanghai to visitors.  Superb food, excellent selection, spectacular decoration.  On the pricey side, all dishes cost about 80-100 each.  Portions aren't too small, and with naan bread on the side you don't have to order a lot.  Best I think is if you come with say 4 people so that you can have more fun and order more dishes to try.

Interesting, down to earth, nicely decorated, interesting food and flavours.  Not the most professional get-up, but they do their best.  Recommended for a bit of a change, if you've had enough of shui zhu yu and hotpots.  Modest cost.

Hangzhou Chinese Restaurant

Thanks Vera for this address and for introducing me to this restaurant!  Stunning place.  Imagine a small lake, (large pond), with small outhouses dotted around it, interwoven with wooden paths.  Waitresses scurry between the outhouses, delivering dishes of food.  The outhouses have about five, six big round tables each, and have large glass windows, giving you a view to the tranquil lake and trees scene.
 
Chinese food, excellently presented.  We had live drunken prawns served in an ice bowl, and actually lots of more normal stuff, all delicious.  Our meal (very skillfully ordered) only cost 40rmb each (!!!) but I'm told that's due to exceptional balance of interesting but inexpensive dishes, so you could probably expect to order a bit more otherwise.

Extending the lease?

Having spent a little time looking into alternative accomodation options, our landlord has given in and reduced our rent by 1000 a month in order to keep us. Which is good because we were way overpaying to start with anyway.

Here are my suggestions for handy places to stay on metro line number two (good for Pudong, Nanjing road and closer to Hongqiao airport). All places have 3 bedroom apartments with prices ranging from 7000 to 10000 rmb a month (about 600 pounds a month). Search for prices on http://rent.online.sh.cn/

金色家园 Jin Se jia Yuan. 黄浦区 青岛路 north of people's square. 1 minute to line 1, 7 minutes to line 2. lived in by yours truly. great apartments, pool, tennis, basketball, but really crappy surrounding areas. want to wear nosepeg and blindfold on the way to work.

The below areas we think are better because they have better supermarket/restaurant options. But the apartment compounds don't have as good facilities. But hey it's too hot to play tennis anyway.

云和花园 延平路/新闸路. yun he jia yuan. jing an se. 8/9 minutes walk north of jing an temple station. jiu guang supermarket in jing an temple station is excellent, and there are some good eateries including relax78, chatea, a bread shop, and some fast food joints.

圣约翰名邸(长宁路1188弄/中山公园)St John, zhong shan park. pool.

兆丰嘉园 汇川路/长宁路888号 zhao feng jia yuan. zhongshan park. 2 minutes to line 2 and 3. view over the park. opposite the back entrance of the station (carrefour)
