The Next Empire – China in Africa
April 13, 2010 | Filed under: Reading
Back from a two-year hiatus we bring you an article from The Atlantic, The Next Empire, written by Howard French, former Shanghai bureau chief for the New York Times. Howard travels through Africa and explores its relationship to China.
All across Africa, new tracks are being laid, highways built,ports deepened, commercial contracts signed—all on an unprecedented scale, and led by China, whose appetite for commodities seems insatiable. Do China’s grand designs promise the transformation,at last, of a star-crossed continent? Or merely its exploitation? The author travels deep into the heart of Africa, searching for answers.
The article is very in-depth and carries a generally more positive tone towards the China-Africa relationship in comparison to other articles on the topic. Someone at The Atlantic should have proofread this though. There are spaces missing here and there…
Night food of Zhuhai
April 10, 2008 | Filed under: Lifestyle, Nightlife, Zhuhai
Usually when you go out to the club after several hours of partying you become hungry. In most countries in the world you are doomed to go with an empty belly, or visit McDonald’s at best. Not in China.
Usually when the clock strikes 10 PM tents are being raised at various streets and tables being prepared with different snack foods. These foods include calamari on stick (Squid), Pork/lamb meat on stick, Fishballs, cabbage in soy sauce, fried dumpling on stick and much more. These nightly food stands are usually open between 10 PM and 2 AM.
Each foodstuff comes with a price of either 1 or 2 kuai so its inexpensive. Beer to that (usually a local brand or Tsingtao) comes at a price of 4-5 kuai.
The places where the food is served are very simple with plastic chairs and plastic tables in the open air. Still, it has a nice atmosphere due to the fact that Chinese people hang around there, not only “tourists”.
You can also eat snack foods at the bars but its usually a lot more expensive. For example a portion of French Fries in MTC club would go for 20 kuai which is the equivalent of Ten lambsticks at a nightmarket stand.
McDonald’s in China is open 24/7 and offer food for the hungry after a bar night. The price is usually 20 kuai for a Big Mac set.
Personally I prefer the Nightmarket food.

Beach life in Zhuhai

Zhuhai as you know is a coastal city. Almost every coastal city has a place where you can relax and listen to the waves or take a bath from the hustle and bustle of the streets.
Massage in Zhuhai
March 29, 2008 | Filed under: Zhuhai
When you are in China you cannot miss what is so typical of Asia, the ultimate massage experience.
Massage is an inexpensive way to have someone take care of your body. They offer two types of massage: One is a so called regular one when your back is rubbed and the other one is foot massage. Both cost the same though and last for one hour. Some male costumers even add a “Happy ending” at the end of the massage.
The best place in Zhuhai is near the XiangZhou bus station behind the Disco. It costs 20 RMB for one hour.
Enjoy
