What pisses me off

...is when high educated immigrants come to Sweden and get a shitjob because of their origin and their Swedish language skill.
I have noticed that a large percentage of all immigrants (especially from the middle east) in Sweden were all well-educated in their home countries, being data consultants, had taken phD's, doctors, lawyers etc. Those people are extremely intelligent people, and they come to Sweden, trying to learn the language properly (it's HARD especially when you're in your thirties), but of course they will never get rid of their native language's accent, and because of that they are getting punished here in Sweden when they cannot find a proper job. Instead they have to work as cleaning ladies, taxidrivers or any other low-income job.
My dad is a perfect example of this, luckily he has continued to focus on his career in China so he doesn't have to experience this kind of humiliation.

It's sad to see that these talents are getting ignored by the Swedish society, they don't have the possibility or chance to use their academical skills here in Sweden just because of their origin and the language barrier.

And then I see the paradox in China. When a foreigner goes to China, he doesn't only get respected but also get a higher salary than the locals for doing the same job, when he doesn't even understand Chinese...

Life is so unfair and this also explains what kind of world we are actually living in.

What is HOT and what's NOT

<---- Deep Dish (Sharam) is coming to Shanghai on 9 March, playing at G +!!! <---- H&M is focusing on Shanghai on their website, SH in general is getting more and more recognized

<---- Chinabounder is back again with a mission

<---- Chinese edition of VOGUE is just getting better and better

<---- Element Fresh's food, but their smoothies are OK and the interior is very nice

<---- New Factories, what a boring place, please spice it up!

<---- People who make out in cafes (I'm trying to enjoy my chicken caesar salad!!!)

<---- Zapatas on Wednesdays (50 years old expats dancing on bars, NOT a nice view)

<---- Sweden sucks during winter time

The Shanghai Girl

The typical Shanghai girl according to the store-owner of INSH (Taikang Lu 200) is

"She wears two, three headbands, a longsleeved shirt with grey and white stripes, jeansskirt, knee stockings, black ballerinas, a big bag with a silly little plastic toy chained to it. She uses a Panasonic or Vodafone because she loves to take pictures of her friends. It is covered in small plastic diamonds, sticker-photo of her boyfriend and another little plastic toy hanging on the cellphone."

INSH store recycles old traditional chinese clothing, but also have some hip Tshirts in stock.

Giving the clothes an update. A lot of clothes with Shanghai symbols such as magnolia and the saying "bexiang" (means having fun in Shanghainese). I'm definitely buying the Tshirt if it has a text "bexiang" !!! I believe you could categorize the clothes into streetwear. Their clothes are unique, trendy and creative at the same time. You better check it out!

A hidden treasure

Famous markets are great! You're familiar with the place and you know how much value you get for your money. Some of the famous markets include Nanjing Xi Road 580, Qipu Road, the one behind City Plaza in Jingan, the one by Times Square in Pudong, etc.

Now where I live in Shanghai, there's a market selling fake goods and shirts, but also clothes without any special brand. What I can tell you about the place is CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP. And going there you won't hear any "Bags, watch, dvds"- shouting, the best of all is that there are hardly any people there.

The market is on An Shun Road, close to Kai Xuan road, just by the intersection.

After shopping just go across the street and there's a Wenfeng (the famous hairsalon chain) where you can get a cheap massage, there are also small boutiques there selling brands like Theory, See by chloe, Marc Jacobs for much less than those small boutiques on Xinle and Shaanxi Road. If you go further down on Anshun Road towards Dingxi Road, you'll find LOTS of chinese restaurants, it's as tasty as it is cheap!

Also make sure to visit the BIG flower market just opposite those restaurants!!!

How to get here:

Bus 945, 48

or grab a cab from Zhongshan Park, 11 rmb for the ride.

Something OUTRAGEOUS

Some naked woman bathing in public on The Bund. Nice body though

Chinese girls' makeup

A sneak peak of my makeup

Those girls in the department store who tries to sell makeup are really not giving other women any good inspiration. Their faces look like fake dolls where they have been playing with the makeup palette, first of all it doesn't look natural, second of all it looks quite scary, third it just looks extremely artificial. They give brands such as Lancome and Bobbi Brown bad names.

However they don't need to be as boring as me just using black eye shadow, but they don't have to wear 3 shadows lighter foundation so they look like they just woke up from dead, or wear green neon eyeshadow up to their brows. That's not flattering.

I hope VOGUE has enough power to influence Chinese girls that whitening creams sucks and probably doesn't work. I saw a big article in Chinese VOGUE about tanning lotions, so there are definitely improvements.

Some Tips for you...

Shopgirl's first casting

I'm soooooooo excited!!!

Today, on the metro from Norsborg to T-centralen, a woman came up to me and told me they are searching for an Asian girl to be starring in a TV commercial for a shoeshop in a huge department store (Kista Galleria) here in Stockholm.

So they want me to do a casting for them this Sunday, so I'm going to compete with like 5,6 other Asian girls.

The TV commercial is showing a girl in a dress and high heels, she's being very busy so she runs, and then her heel accidentally falls off, but then she gives a cocky smile to the camera and fix the heel and continues walking. It is something like that, I was too excited to listen carefully, and was stressed as I had to jump off the next station.

This commercial will be broadcast on TV and internet, hehe. Casting is on Sunday so I have two days to work on that cocky smile, and yeah, I was wondering if it is possible to lose 15 pounds in two days? Because that would really help!!! LOL. Although I'm still happy they actually considered me. What's funny is that I took the wrong metro to another direction first and had to change metro, if I was going the right way I would never have met this woman.

If I got the role I'd get 3000 RMB!!!!!!

Although if there is only 16% chance that I would actually be in this commercial, it will still be fun to get fixed by make up artists and act in front of the camera.

In the Land of Women

I can't wait til this new movie In the Land of Women releases!!! Adam Brody is in it, you know, the cute guy from the OC!!! Also other stars such as Kristen Stewart and Meg Ryan are in it. Another reason (besides eyecandy) why I want to see it because its setting is in Michigan, the state in the US that I have a special relation to as I lived there for 10 months. I have been in Bloomfield Hills, what I can remember is that they have great shopping malls there.

Aspiring writer Carter Webb has just been dumped by his true love Sophia. Heartbroken and depressed, he escapes Los Angeles to suburban Michigan to care for his ailing grandmother and to start work on a book he has always wanted to write. Soon after his arrival, Carter stumbles into the lives of the family across the street: Sarah Hardwicke, the mother of two daughters: Paige, a precocious, effervescent eleven-year-old and her older sister Lucy, an angst-ridden teenager. While Sarah faces her own personal crisis, Lucy wrestles with her own fears. Through his relationships with all of these women, Carter discovers that what felt like the end was really just the beginning of something else...

CAN'T WAIT!!!

Is China racist?

The other day I was browsing through a Shanghai public forum and the topic came to what people in this city thought of all laowais coming to Shanghai. I read some really offending answers such as they are disgusting, making China dirty, etc. I find it really sad that they can express such judgement in public.
I also remember I had a conversation with some Chinese girls and they told me never to hang out with French people. As some of my friends in Shanghai are French people I felt offended, I wanted to defend my French friends but couldn't as I knew then the argument would never end if it got started.
Also, I read on a blog about a relationship between a Chinese girl and a black guy, about the glares they received on the street, and people commenting on them.

Why can't some Chinese people's minds develop as fast as its economy?
But then again, in the US, my neighbours thought it was a scandal that my friend was having a black boyfriend, but at the same time they had very close friends who were black.

Happy Chinese New Year

Now everyone is celebrating in China while I'm sitting in my 18 square metres dormroom studying.

My relatives in China is having a LARGE dinner and is laughing and talking right now. I'm so jealous, I miss them a lot even if I have only been away from them for less than two months.

Also my aunt from France is in Shanghai, and she is also the one who is going to have the last saying about my cousin's girlfriend. I'm curious to know what she thinks of her.

I feel I'm becoming a nut after eating so much nuts. Thinking about how the city is sparkling in Shanghai while all I see here is snow, and red brick buildings.

Just not a very good day today, although I enjoyed the party last night with my Singaporean friends.

Freaky Friday

Now if you have been a faithful reader you have read about my weekends in Shanghai, how much fun it was, but this friday in Stockholm was really so so.
I went to a club in Stockholm, kind of reminded me of Bonbon, with the girls dancing on the loudspeakers. It was an Asian Party so a lot of Chinese people there.

My friend from university is originally from Hangzhou so she introduced me to some of her friends, and what's funny is that they all believed I am mixed for some reason and picking at my accent (not even some locals in Shanghai notice my accent!!!). I sooo felt like an outsider who hasnt been exposed to this Asian community. Who knew that there were so many Asians in Sweden??????? NOT ME.

On the metro some icky guy spitted on the seat next to him and put his shoe above the spit, sooooo nasty, and another one vomited whilst waiting for the metro. The metro here in Stockholm sucks compared to the metro in Shanghai.

Happy Chinese New Year everyone, I'm going to have a dinner with some Singaporeans, they all speak mandarin :) and I will be exposing my favourite Sichuan dish for them - Yu Xiang Rou Si.

It's pig year, hope Chinese girls pig out this year.

What we've learned from Ugly Betty

Ugly Betty is my favourite show right now on television. It's about this ugly girl working as an assistant for the chief editor of a big fashion magazine MODE. The only reason to why she got the job was because the chief editor's dad didn't want his son to have an assistant that he could sleep with.

Salma Hayek is playing Sofia who tries to make the chief editor to fall in love with her, so this is her trick.

"From Fling To Ring In 60 Days: The Rules of Getting Any Guy to Propose to You in 60 Days or Less"

1. Pique his interest. (Sofia taking off her blouse in the elevator)
2. Stay in close proximity. (Sofia commandeering MODE's boardroom)
3. Give him a taste. (Sofia seducing him at the bar)
4. Make yourself unavailable. (Sofia dancing with another guy and say that it's her bf)
5. Give him a ticking clock. (Sofia's ultimatum in the limo)

Pretty logical huh? Hope I never have to work this hard, that would be frustrating.

Migrant workers are extremely trendy

Louis Vuitton's It bag this season is for sure inspired by the cool Chinese migrant workers. As Louis Vuitton describes this bag "the ultimate juxtaposition of rich and poor was attained by a handwoven leather version of the familiar cheap checked shopping bag."

There are full of those look-alike bags in Shanghai, especially by the Railway station. I'm sooooooooo buying this bag when I arrive in Shanghai! I will ask our ayi if she can help me to get one, or actually I would like two in different colours. I think they might cost 5 kuai a bag? Who knew that Chinese migrant workers were so couture chic? Never judge the book by its cover!!!

Snack time

Ok, I wish I was in Shanghai this Valentine. Life's hard.

So what can single people in Shanghai do today? There's a party in Bonbon (my favourite club), will probably be heaps of single crowd there if you happen to be desperate.

Otherwise, go to this place Lai Yi Feng and buy their sweet potatoe chips. AWESOME, healthier and better than regular chips. So cheap as well, for 3 kuai you get a plastic bag full of those.

They have their tiny shops everywhere in Shanghai, I have one just 2 minutes walk from my apartment.

Countdown: Valentine's Day!!!

If you are single, you feel left out, if you are in a relationship, you will just worry if whatever you are doing is good enough.

Valentine's Day just sucks!

This is how my day will look like:

1. Shopping (I deserve a glamorous nightcream) and grocery shopping

2. Wash my clothes

3. Eat chocolate (LOTS OF CHOCOLATE)

4. Be in front of the computer

5. Watch "The Notebook" with Rachel McAdams

6. Eat more chocolate til I feel sick
7. Go to bed and think that this day will end soon

I wish I was in Shanghai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(PS. At least I received an E-card from my host grandpa and grandma in Michigan!)

Shanghai street fashion part2

Photo 1: Throw that dress into Huangpu river, darling!

Photo 2: Jacket looks so so, but what's with the pin. Just because you're cute, you'll get away wearing that windjacket and that teenbag.

Photo 3: Quite original, I like it!!! I would skip the hat thoughand switch to an oversize bag.

30000 Foreign students in Shanghai

WOW!!! Last year more than 30000 foreign students decided to come to Shanghai, no wonder Bonbon is always so packed! This is an increase of around 20 percent from 2005.

The number of foreign students in Shanghai is expected to reach 60,000 to 70,000 by 2010. I hope I will be one of them.

But my worst fear is that we will encounter those Tshirts everywhere in Shanghai. That is the last thing we need to see.

How to make my girlfriend cum?

Question:
Dear Cedric,

I can't make my girlfriend come. I am used to girls being sensitive to clitoral stimulation, but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. I have tried many different approaches (tongue, finger, thumb, hard, soft, teasing, straight down to business) but it only leads to a plateau for her. She seems more sensitive in the G-Spot, but that also doesn't take her over the edge. Longest time for attempt has been about 50 minutes so far. Tried a vibe, but that also didn't really do it for her. She is easy to turn on, but I really want to give her an orgasm. She says she has never had one, not even by her own efforts. I ask for helpful directions, but nothing so far. Any ideas?
/ Anonymous


Answer:
These types of questions are always a little difficult to answer. Whenever you are dealing with a human being there are millions of combinations and permutations that can occur. What we know is your girlfriend has never had an orgasm, with you or by herself. And you have tried some ways to make her have one but it hasn’t happened.

I am not a doctor or psychologist, so if there is a medical or mental reason for her not going over the top then I don’t believe I can be of much help. I will pass on some advice from my experience which I hope can help you out.

Firstly, you know, some women just can't orgasm, a small portion, a very small portion. This doesn’t stop them from having very fulfilling sex lives, but it can happen that they don’t reach that point.
Now, there are two types of orgasm, clitorial and vaginal. The vast majority of women can have clitoral orgasms and usually learn to have them regularly through touching themselves or with their partner. They are nice orgasms, flash jobs that give the women a good sense of wellbeing, heating them up on a cold day and keeping them from attacking the water deliver guy when things are slow.
Vaginal Orgasms are another world. If you have ever brought a woman to this point, you know what I mean. In my experience, about 15% of women can have these, and it usually is in a very loving, trusting, close relationship where the sex is very good. The women is gone when this happens…..mind blowing, body convulsions, not really screaming as much as strange freaky noises and gasps from her mouth and nose and a feeling afterward of something along the lines of Holy Fuck….what did you just do to me!!!! And DO IT AGAIN!!!

The fact that your girlfriend has never cum should let you know that it likely isn’t you that is the problem. She is probably very happy that she has a boyfriend who is into her and dedicated like you are. You should ask her how she feels when she feels best during sex, or the closest to orgasming. Is she afraid, that she is losing control, does she feel like she is going to pee, is she anxious, does she feel ashamed about having sex outside of marriage and an orgasm might be hard for her to handle, or does she just never feel that she is close to hitting that point? The answer might lead you into the direction you need to go to get her to that point.

Normally I give two types of advice for guys that are trying to make their girls orgasm. For you I will give a third because I think you are trying all the right things at this point you might just want to try another technique.

She needs to learn about her body, essentially learning how to make herself orgasm can be very helpful. Maybe spending some time touching herself, getting to know what feels great and heightens the feelings, and can bring her closer to the edge. She can do that with you or by herself, whatever she feels most comfortable with doing. Sometimes it can be something totally different, like the girl I dated who could only cum from dry humping and always needed to have at least her panties on and usually her pants as well. Women all have a different combination key to unlocking that orgasm lock. Half the fun is trying right?

You need to feel close to each other, loving, comfortable, trusting. I am not saying you need to be soul mates, but there should be a good level of trust in some sort of fashion…..which from what you have said you two are there.

You might want to try this technique that worked very well with an ex lover of mine. It involves penetrating into her, but not thrusting. You simply stay inside while she stimulates herself on the clit. Your position should be semi-seated while she is on her back. You can then use your hands to massage her breast and stimulate her nipples. You can try some slight movement in and out....very slowly or listening to her directing you on the speed of movement she likes at that moment. If she likes sexual talk tell her nice things or fantasies to stimulate her mind and her body.

Hopefully this advice has helped you out, if not I hope you at least enjoy trying.

Chiromancy aka Palmistry

The art of characterization and foretelling the future through the study of the palm. My dad foretelled my life, my grandmum apparently earned money in Anhui foretelling others people, and she actually became famous because those things she foretelled became reality! So of course she learned her sohn how to do it.

Anyway, my dad studied my hand and said...

1, I will live a really long life, possibly up to 100 years old

2, I will have a great career

3, I will not have many boyfriends

4, I will get a divorce (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

5, I will have 2 kids

Thank god I'm NOT superstitious, so I don't believe him! (Although I do believe that I will have a great career :P)

An Inconvenient Truth

one cool hybrid car from Toyota I watched the documentary about global warming last night with Al Gore, and I personally think it's one of the most important documentares now to watch.

As he says we are living in a period of consequences, and it will just get worse if we don't do anything soon.

It all begins with small changes, why not change your regular lightbulbs into low energy ones? Or buy a hybrid car if you have the chance (they are really trendy, lots of celebrities drive a hybrid car including Leornadio di Caprio and Cameron Diaz.), start recycling (doesn't really take that much effort), walk or ride a bike (you'll lose fat while you are taking care of the nature).

There are many things we can start to do, and if everyone is ready to make those small changes in their lives, there will lead to good results! It all starts with one person changing.

Anna Nicole Smith is DEAD

Ok, this doesn't have anything to do with Shanghai , but still. It's big news!!! I just wrote about her one day ago that she made traffic chaos in Sweden with her H&M Campaigns.

She collapsed in southern Florida this afternoon.

I feel so pity for her family, she just had a new born daughter!!! They are going through a paternity testing.

Chinabounder's blog is back

Sorry for being so late with this news, but he opened his blog again, 5 months later after the "scandal".
I have to say his first post is quite good, talking about how China media/government values different things. Innocent kids in the countryside being killed by mental teachers is apparently less important than a British guy in Shanghai sleeping with different Chinese girls.

www.chinabounder.blogspot.com

My future is already determined

Today after my seminar in Marketing Management, they had a small exhibition with big companies represented so that they can contact and inform students about their activities. H&M, Grand Thornton, SEB, etc. Did you guys know that Shanghai will FINALLY have a H&M flagship store opened on 12th April! I can't fucking wait, I'm sooooooo excited! I hope the Chinese government won't put a 30% import tax on the prices.
The store will be in the old Benetton store on Huai Hai Middle Road, you know the corner of Huaihai and Sinan Road, next to Sephora.

Hope I can work for H&M's financial department after my degree, and then get transfered to Shanghai!

I wonder if Shanghai will allow those talked about christmas campaigns with hot models in H&M underwear. Every single December, traffic chaos will occur because of those billboards. The worst traffic chaos was when Anna Nicole Smith modelled for this Swedish clothing company.

This one took the myspace price

This morning I got this one in my myspace inbox.

Shanghai photos

I know a Swedish guy who takes lots of wonderful photographs of Shanghai in his free time, and his photos are absolutely amazing! He has had a small exhibition show in Arch on Wukang Road, unfortunately I was not in Shanghai at that time so I missed it. Sometimes shanghaiist.com uses his photos in their blog entries.

I don't even think he retouches the photos. I saw his photopage before I arrived to Shanghai and was so surprised when I met him at a party by coincidence. Let me introduce 2dogs (his nickname).

Underwear shopping

Sharing a washing machine with lots of other people is a PAIN. People fight for the washing machines, people stealing clothes, that's just a nightmare.

I wish I was as rich as Usher, he said once that he never washes his underwear because he just throws them away and buy new ones. I wish I was as lucky as him. Unfortunately Shanghai doesn't have a big selection of underwear. Buying underwear in Shanghai is a pain as well, especially going into that Gujin store on Huaihai road, the salespersons giggle and look at you, and follow every step of you and ask what you are looking for. A PAIN! The selection in Carrefour is horrible, Easyshop is decent, Calvin Klein too expensive (the import tax), 6ixty8ight has like no selection whatsoever, etc. Victorias' Secret would do well here, because there is hardly no competitors, there are no nice goodlooking quality underwear here. Ironically I find the best underwear in fake markets. Nanjing Xi Road 580 has a good selection, and you can bargain there, couldn't be better.

I would never buy those!! At least not the ones which has Mao Zhedong on it!

(Note: Some good news, because of the improved quality of life, Chinese women's bust size increases with 1 centimeter.)

She is ignoring me on MSN

Q: What does it mean when she blocks you on MSN and changes her number? Playing hard to get?/ Danny
A: Sorry Danny, it means she is mad obviously. Whether you are getting a reprieve, most likley no, changing the number is a tell tale sign she has a new boyfriend, doesn't want late night booty calls or annoying text messages.
My guess is you screwed up big time, if you hear from her in the next 3 days there is a chance, if not, move on!/ Cedric Iglesias

Shopgirl thinks this girl despises you, MOVE ON!

First it looked quite horrible but now it looks quite good, the only thing that is missing is a rug.

I hope you can see the difference between old and new pics...

Of course I also gave you a sneak peak of what I have in my bathroom :D Not very interesting though, just my proactive skincare

What you can do with an avocado

Lately I have been fanatical about avocados. I remember I didn't like them at all in my younger years, but thank god, people change! Now I am craving avocados almost everyday! Yes, they are high in fat, but it's good fat! Not the kind of fat you get in fast food. Put some mashed avocado on a sandwich and put some amount of salt. YUMMY! Unfortunately avocados are very expensive in China as it is an imported product (around 80rmb/kg). Just walk instead of taking the taxi and you feel better saving some kuais. You can find avocados in most foreign grocery stores like city shop or even carrefour.
