Who wants to be a Millionaire (China Version) (谁要成为百万富翁(中国版))

who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire-china

After arriving in Shanghai more than a year ago, I was quite frightened by the cash-machines. I remember one evening, while walking in the French Concession we stumbled upon a small, local bank. I stuck my card in quickly (we’d been searching for what seemed like hours for a place to get some beer-vouchers), keyed [...]

shanghai-blog

It’s been a while since I started my Shanghai blog, and I’m amazed every day at how many people like to read the crap that I write (in English AND Chinese!). Blogs about Shanghai are often populated with middle-aged, white, China-loving pseudo-nerds, and I’m glad that I’m breaking some of those stereotypes with this site [...]

New Shanghai brothel (新上海妓院)

shanghai-brothel-3

After uncovering the Shanghai Male Escort Service, I was even more shocked to find that a new brothel has recently opened right next to Hongkou Football stadium in Shanghai. I would never have known, but the shameless owner decided to give out namecards on the street! 在暴光上海男陪服务以后,最近我更惊讶地发现了一个开在虹口足球场附近的新的妓院。 我并不想知道的,但是无耻的业主在街上到处发名片! I decided to check the info, and [...]

Gym merges with estate agent? (健身房和房产经济联合了?)

01-gymfail

I often go own a membership to the gym opposite my office, and it’s really nice. Even though it doesn’t have a swimming pool (oh, Terra gym, I miss thee) it’s clean, modern and has loads of running machines with TVs in the dashboard… 我是我们公司对面的健身房的会员,那里很好。虽然没有游泳池(一兆韦德…我想念那个地方),可是很干净,现代而且有很多仪表器上带电视的跑步机… …but sadly, they couldn’t afford the extra 50rmb for a [...]
