Spiderman in Shanghai

Yesterday you probably heard that Spiderman visited Shanghai and paid JinMao Tower a visit. Well, now the person is revealed.
His name? Alain Roberts. A Spiderman wannabe or a Spiderman maniac? Judge for yourself.
My cousin's fiancee work for McKinsey lawfirm which is located inside Jinmao Tower, I have to ask her more about it.

Unfortunately he's not as cute as the Original Spiderman :'(

I'm a cheapskate

Just got back home from the local Swedish chain grocery store ICA.
I try to stay healthy so I bought bread (healthy version of bread), a zucchini and an apple. Guess how much it cost? 40 rmb!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 40 FREAKING RMB!!!
With 40 rmb I can have 8 delicious shengjian baozi, one big watermelon, 200g of sweet potatoe chips, pearl milk tea AND enjoy a nice taxi ride home (and maybe have some left in my pocket)
I CAN'T WAIT to live cheap in Shanghai!!!!

Already have a packed schedule

Hehehe, I already have a packed schedule from the day I arrive in SH!
I probably get home around noon , meet my mum and all my relatives, have a big Chinese lunch including yuxiangrousi, star corn cake, shengjian baozi, that kind of fish that is covered in some kind of tomatoe sauce, etc. After that, I just have to walk over to the local Starbucks and drink their green tea frappucchino! Maybe even do some shopping on Thursday if I have the energy....

On Friday: dinner with mum's friend, later going to either bonbon (Scissor Sister's DJ), I love Shanghai or a house party
On Saturday: big lunch with relatives, dinner with mum's friends, later either bonbon (Mariah Carey's DJ), Attica or a house party
On Sunday: Sasha's justbeer launch (I don't even like beer!!! But heard good things about Cascade premium light)
(although plans will probably get changed, lol)

Then on monday, start working! YAY or NAY...

Why do I always get sick

Whenever I go back to SH I get really sick; running nose, cough, can't taste, etc.
What is irritating is that it lasts for over a month!!!

Any tips to prevent it? I've tried eating healthy and eat lots of vitamins, but still I always manage to get sick even during the hot summers.

Some news: I got my old internship back :D, I'm very happy because the office is very close to that Starbucks on Nanjing Xi Road (my fav street in SH), so that is the place I will hang out often, hehe...

I want to change China!

I have a dream!

There are many things I want to do in life; visit all world's metropolitan cities before I die, finish my Master degree (which I will), open up a cafe and vintage store in SH, but one of the things that I really really really want to do is to make China a bit more glamourous and trendy.

Through my whole life I have watched China from another country's perspective. What I can say is that too many times the Chinese people has been looked upon as poor and nerdy which is very unfortunate. Now, when it is gradually changing I want to be the one who can push it further forward. I see how much potential China has, starting with Shanghai. I see all those cute students (my aim) bleeding their eyes out studying Chemical Engineering (nothing wrong with that) and not care about ANYTHING else. I'm not saying it's not good to focus on studying, what I'm saying is that they should also be interested in other things.

In the US, this started long time ago, companies supporting fashion blogs, every broadsheet having their own fashion journalist, celebrity gossip swarming on websites, etc.
Sweden has also gone a long way, we have sooooo many fashion journalists now, every single 16 years old girl has a blog showing their outfits, the popular media is basically just focusing on fashion and celebrities.

I'm also aware of that this might not only be a good thing; makes the world even more materialistic than it already is, make people even more shallow than they already are (I bet you're pointing at me) BUT it makes the world more colourful! I just want to prove for everyone that China can and will!

Stockholm during summer

I envy everyone who is spending their summers in Stockholm during summer. The only time when this city is not boring and grey. During summers, you see lots of people sitting outside cafes, people singing on the street, going to free concerts and enjoying the nice weather (definitely not as humid and hot as Shanghai).

What is also nice with Stockholm is that a lot of times while I have been in the city center I see people that I know. So it's a big city and small city at the same time. (Although sometimes that have happened in Shanghai as well).

There is a H&M in every corner, there are at least two coffee shops in every corner, etc. instead of having one brothel in every corner like in SH.

I would love SH to have more cozy coffee shops on those main streets, although I love Starbucks. I would love to implicate the Swedish fika-culture in big international cities such as Shanghai. Fika basically means that taking a break sitting down and have coffee and cake. Fika is both an art form and a social event for Swedes and something taken very seriously!

Shanghai Pillow Fight

Wish I could have joined, I know some people who did and they had lots of fun. IN the end of this video you hear a girl interviewing these local crowd asking them, What do you think they are doing? The locals said, I have no idea, and then she asked another one and he says, I have no idea.

HILARIOUS! Must be thinking that all foreigners are those weirdos, getting their frustration out in China by pillow-fighting outside one of my fav. stores in SH, Times Square on Huai Hai Road.

The organization/person who is organizing those events are Bad Cats, and I believe there is an event coming up (Water Fight in the Park) on the 16th June which will mean I have the chance to join, but not sure if I want to wet myself.

This is what I call efficiency, screw taylorism. This is the deal!!!
<---------------

Party this Friday, shopping on Saturday, studying on Sunday. Efficiency for me!!!

I should also ask to take a powerwalk with my Chinese friend, I love to discuss Chinese culture with her. She really gives me a good insight of the real Chinese society.

Only 12 days til I arrive in Shanghai....I should start packing soon. Anyone want some snus?

The first day I arrive in Shanghai I'm going to have guo tie and that star corn cake!!!!!!!! FOR SURE, also maybe some yu xiang rou si.

Superiority

I have been totally addicted to Ben Ross' blog. He is a trainee at a local hairsalon earning 600 rmb a month. He writes about his observation and experiences in that hairsalon, and it's very fascinating. In one of his blog entry he talked about "white people with white shelves", it was the best blog entry I've ever read. It really hit right through me.

I admit that I sometimes in different situations act differently in Shanghai than here in Stockholm.
I don't think I do it in purpose but it affects a lot of people around me. I know my relatives have thought I'm rude sometimes while I think what I have done is totally okay. I think during the period when I was 12 Iwas the worst person with the biggest shelve. I was really mean and told our ayi that I didn't like her food or if she could leave because I needed to study in that room, etc. in a nasty voice tone. Thinking about it now I feel so ashamed, who did I think I was?

From now on I really try to be nice and respect all people I meet in Shanghai, whether where they come from. But maybe sometimes without me even realizing, my shelve will shine through.

Shanghai street fashion part 5







1. Trendy with A formed jackets and peeptoes, but I still don't like the style. The white bag and the brown boots looks like they have very bad quality. The girl in grey's style is a bit better...
2. NO NO NO, besides she's way too skinny.
3. I really like it, it's casual and nonchalant. I like the Prada bag she's wearing.

One year has passed...

It was about one year ago my granddad Wang Yaotian passed away. I was in the US so I couldn’t possibly do anything but to sit on my bed and cry cry cry.
I always knew that my granddad was a great person, everyone in the family spoke so highly about him, sometimes I would even see him on some magazine cover. Although I don’t know him that well as I spent all my life in Sweden while he spent his life in Shanghai, he has always been a big part of my life. I have always looked up to him. He always told me to read many books and always aim higher.

I remember those days when we would walk on Anfu Road and go to Xinhua bookstore because he wanted me to read some new books. Or those days we would grab a taxi and drive around The Bund, because he loved to see how Shanghai developed into a big international city.
Whenever I saw him in the house, he was either reading, writing, eating, playing solitaire (patience) or talking about some meeting. I also remember that he particularly liked poems so he tried to teach me how to memorize poems from his favorite poet Li Bai. He always told me I was very intelligent because I could memorize them so fast and that made me feel special.

It wasn’t before after my grandfather passed away that I really became curious to find out who he really was. As he’s quite famous within the economic field I would do some research on him and get lots of hits on google (even in English).

Here are some things I would find from the internet in English.

"Professor Wang Yaotian, director of the Shanghai Research Center of the World Trade Organization, said he is sure private firms will be attractive to overseas investors because "they are good at adapting to market demand, flexible in their operations and demonstrate initiative."

"WTO entry is also a great opportunity for the banking sector, powerful economic growth that will likely be generated from WTO entry will demand more support from financial sectors," said Wang Yaotian, a renowned expert in WTO research, in a recent interview with Shanghai Star."

"Wang Ming (my aunt), a researcher with the Shanghai International Trade Institute and daughter of a prestigious Chinese scholar. Her late father, Wang Yaotian, ended his enforced labor transformation in the countryside and returned to Shanghai in the same year of Nixon's visit. The farther used to serve as an interpreter of U.S. military in China during World War II and later studied and obtained doctor's degree in the United States.
On the eve of Nixon's visit, her father compiled a book for students about the United States based on his earlier experience in the country. Wang Ming later became a legal expert on the World Trade Organization. And her son and nephews spent years in the U.S. to study law on international economics.
"The fate of my family is closed connected with China's reform and opening to the outside world," Wang Ming said."

Here are also some books he wrote,
Wang Yaotian, "The Formulation of the Framework and Principles of International Service Trade,"
WangYaotian, International Business ,
WangYaotian, International Trade Principles
Wang Yaotian, International Trade
Wang Yaotian, "On the Use of Generalized System of Preferences to Expand the Exports of Chinese Finished Products,
Wang Yaotian, "The Theoretical Base of China's Reform in Foreign Trade System


How I would just like to turn back time and sit with him once again and question him about China’s bright future or which place has the best dumplings.
I believe it's on the 24th, WTO will arrange a ceremony. I just wish I could have been there.

The Movie: Shanghai Baby



I thought the book Shanghai Baby was excellent! The language she used and the way she used metaphors, etc. I just loved the whole book and I have read it about 3, 4 times. She also gives the reader a view into the city Shanghai, how international and trendy it really is.

Of course I will have to see the movie version when it comes out. I'm a bit disappointed with the casting though. The leading role Coco will be played by Bai Ling [you know the (ugly) Chinese girl (slut) who ALWAYS wear really tacky clothes] and Mark (Coco's German lover) is played by Luke Goss.
I just saw the trailor and it looks quite good, although there are a lot of naked scenes with Bai Ling in it (very disappointed with her portraiting Coco, she's waaaaay too skinny). Her boyfriend is played by Gregory Wong, he looks much hotter than Bai Ling.

If I was the director I would have chosen Shu Qi or Zhou Xun to play Coco. Aaron Eckhart (blonde enough) from Thank you for smoking or Ben Affleck in blonde hair would play Mark.

Some interesting China news

My weekend












My friends came to Stockholm to visit me for this weekend. It was lots of fun. We had good food, drank good cider, listened to good music, had good conversations, etc. I won't see them for a long time because they are going to Canada and France for an exchange term.

I was really looking forward to this weekend, now I'm looking forward to 7th June when I will arrive in Pudong Airport.

My cousin is getting married


My dear cousin is finally getting married, at the age of 27. Congratulations!!! I think that my cousin and his fiancee really represents "the China dream". They are both well-educated lawyers, work for big American lawfirms, have one apartment that they own, will buy a car soon(probably Audi), will probably also get two babies (This new China rule says that if both of you were an only child you are aloud to have 2 babies).

I asked my mum how he proposed and she looked at me saying What? Their parents agreed to it.

Maybe I don't want them to represent the New China dream after all...

Diary

It's plain stupid. I sent all my visa application, passport, etc to the China Embassy in Stockholm and then they call me and say I have to go to the Embassy if I live in Stockholm. So now I have to wake up at 7am just to get to the embassy and stand in line for probably 2 hours to just get a L visa, I would totally understand if I would have to go to the embassy if it was for a one year visa, but this is a TOURIST visa!!! I'm soo mad, and lazy.

Kylie Minogue's H&M collection is out now in stores, I love the dress/tunic and sunglasses from there. Will get it on friday. BIG SHOPPING DAY ON FRIDAY. The collection is probably out in Shanghai as well by now.

Does someone know any banks in Shanghai that can speak English, because they never understand me when I try to talk to them, and it's getting frustrating. I do speak fluent Chinese but still sometimes I just don't know some certain special terms/vocabulary.

Also, I'm going to be writing a column about China lifestyle in a glossy Russian magazine, that will be interesting, help me brainstorming on what to write about.

International Dating

I was discussing with a friend about International dating today. We both came to the conclusion that it is

1, much more exciting
2, more variety, more fun
3, they are all gentlemen compared to Swedish boys

You learn so much when you're dating someone from another nationality and you have more things to talk about. Also, one of the reasons to why I like Shanghai so much, I can see so many interracial relationships there. All my friends were dating guys/girls from other nationalities.

Also, guys from other nationalities are ALL gentlemen compared to Swedish guys. There's no such thing that a Swedish guy would hold up the door for you or take your coat. Neither would he ever stand up just because you are standing up to go for an example to the bathroom during a dinner.

I think it was when I studied in the US that I realized how rude Swedish boys were compared to the Americans, and then in Shanghai I just got it confirmed, Swedish boys are indeed rude! But then again, larger amount of Swedish boys are more goodlooking than for an example Americans (personal opinion and I'm aware a lot disagrees with me).

Looking for an internship

I have some bad news! :(
It turns out that one of the board directors' daughter of my company in Shanghai is ALSO searching for an internship, but mainly she needs an internship at a bank. If she doesn't get one means that she would take my place.

That would mean that I stand there with no job and salary AND no experience. I'll cross my fingers that she will find a perfect internship at a bank in Shanghai. One of the main reasons I come to Shanghai this summer is to gain as much work experience as possible for my future. I'm currently studying business at Stockholm University and have some experience within the marketing field. I speak fluent Swedish, English, Chinese and limited German. I will be in Shanghai from 7th June to 15th August 2007.

But please people, if you know some place that is taking interns and that are willing to pay a reasonable salary, please take contact with me.

I would really appreciate it.
Thank you

My aunt's blog entry about me

Could someone be kind enough to translate for me? I'm tiaotiao. I can read some, but don't understand it all. My oldest aunt wrote this on the 6th November 2006.

跳跳,我家的宝贝

“汪家有女初长成”我的外甥女跳跳从瑞典回上海一个月了。这一个月令我不盛其烦。本来她的到来对我应是一件非常愉快的事,因为我没有女儿,我一直把她视如已出,宠她,护她。为什么她20岁了,不再要我管她衣食住行了反而嫌她烦了,我自己也百思不得其解。以我以往的思维方式,我也是一再反省自己是不是老了,和年轻人不易沟通了,是不是和世界有了距离,跟不上时代了。为什么总是看不懂这孩子?

第一看不懂,为什么一到夜晚她就来精神,泡网、泡洒吧、上夜总会?让我们为她担心。 开始我以为是调时差,一个月了时差早就调过来了。我问她为什么?她说和中国人没有共同语言。开始我认为是母语不习惯的问题,很快可适应。现在我想通了这还是文化背景的问题。我们的孩子长期在西方生活,他们对中国热爱、好奇,他们知道自己是中国人,但是是ABC,是香蕉。他们已经不再适应中国的主流文化,他们思想分裂成东西二部分,再也不可能成为东方淑女了。是喜是悲?
第二看不懂,为什么到了商场、餐馆就热情高涨,失控的消费欲望左右她的行为,让我们看不下去?国外名牌 不比中国多,食品不比中国丰富?一个外国来的大姑娘不如中国农村上来的小姑娘有修养。但是话说回来,我们一直在国内,在大上海可能是生在福中不知福,如果我也是在国外关几年,回来看到灯红酒绿的消费场所,我们也会动心,只是内敛一些吧。

还有很多看不懂、听不懂、想不通,我就不一一叙述了。我们在改变世界,世界也在改变着我们,在改变着我们的后代。不论我们看得惯否,我们都要尊重事实,存在的都是合理的,我们要努力发现事务合理性的内核,我们就会见怪不怪了。我们就没有那么多牢骚了。

I heart books

For the first time in a really long time I don't feel stressed. A new course (Management) has just started and everything is very easy...so far. I'm now relaxing in my hometown in the middle of Sweden. My mum is spoiling me as usual with cookies and other fattening stuff, she said that it was good that I finished a big nutella jar in just 5 days!!!!!!!!! According to her I at least got some energy from it...hmmm, yes, about 2500 calories of energy. Maybe I should send my mother to a healthy lifestyle class? She's going to Shanghai this saturday so unfortunately there's no time for it.
I haven't been reading any books for such a long time (except my 3 books about accounting), however I just started reading The tipping point by Malcolm Gladwell, thought I would read it after having read blink by the same author which was really interesting.

So, tomorrow I'm going to the library to find if these books are available:
1. Lasermannen by Gellert Tamas
2. Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
3. Everyone worth knowing by Lauren Weisberger ( I love chick-litts!!!)
4. The World is flat by Thomas L Friedman
5. The No. 1 Ladies' detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith
6. Saffron Skies by Lesley Lokko

Silly bloggers

What annoys me is that when I try to comment on a blog, it has to go through the blogger herself/himself so that she/he can read it first and then decide if the comment is going to appear on the site or not. THAT'S SILLY!!!

I know lots of people don't have any lifes and just put bad comments on other blogs, I mean, who cares? I think I have only deleted a total of 2, 3 comments but that was because they were attacking my friends or family. If they were attacking me I couldn't care less.

I even sometimes thinks it's funny to read some comments that are supposed to make me feel sad. It makes me laugh. Keep them coming in guys.
I've collected some of the meanest blog comments...enjoy!

1. Found ur link thru xiaxue. the first that hit me was how you look in the pics. Why do u look like a drunken moose in the headlights of an on coming car? your eyes are sooo freaking hilarious. if its true that eyes are the windows to your soul thats in your soul i mangine there to be a frog wondering why the light is so bright.honestly..just look at the column on the right..all you expressions are weird and your eyes are the weirdest ever ever.dont let anyone fool you into thinking that dumb look is cute on you.

2. NO AMOUNT OF SHOE SHOPPING CAN SAVE YOU IF YOU HAVE A FACE LIKE THAT

3. Try looking at the camera head on instead of tilting your head all the time in a futile attempt to look alluring. You just look like you've got Down's Syndrome.

4. Please stop living in your fantasy world that this insignificant website is an online version of Cosmo. There's not a chance in hell that there's some guy out there jumping up and down on his bed because there's a chance you might be reading his email. Get over yourself, and try to stop posting all these pictures of yourself. This is a website, not an ego masturbating magic mirror.

5. you are stupid like fuck. And you look like you'r half asleep.

China bans under-age drinking

Thís new law was enforced for over a year ago, but does it really apply? I wouldn't think so.
I went to an internet bar in Shanghai once but couldn't get in as I didn't have my ID card with me. The legal age to get in is 16 I believe, 16!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't even look a slightiest bit younger than 16!!!!!! I was so pissed after they rejected me.

No one has ever asked me about my ID card going to clubs though. I think it's far more important to check people's ID cards in clubs than on internet bars. Watching porn is harmless while drinking too much does affect your health. Seeing those expat kids passing out in Bonbon or O2 is sad. Besides, I wouldn't enjoy partying with a bunch of highschool kids...

PLEASE! Check ID's in clubs.

Tearing down the old houses in Shanghai

These last five years you have for sure seen those big signs in Shanghai saying that this house is going to be teared down. They are everywhere in those big cities, Shanghai, Beijing, etc.

My hall friend from Beijing told me today that their house is going to be teared down, which means that her family is getting only about 100000 RMB, maybe not even that much, for a new place called home. They of course knew that with only 100000 RMB there is no possibility to find an apartment to buy in Beijing. So they refused to move out.

But the company that was following the orders from the Chinese government to tear those houses down got really mad because her family refused to move out. So they hired these liu mangs (thugs) to sabotage their house, for an example they breaked the glasses, screamed outside, they even put excrement (poo poo) on the house's door.

Luckily, my hall friend's family knew someone who helped them out, but the neighbours weren't as lucky. As they also refused to move out from their house, the company had even ordered people who were stalking the neighbours. One got beaten with a metal stick so he almost died.

Now you might wonder how this could have happened? I seriously don't know, it's just sick how they can manage to do things like this. Why not call the police? Because they have no proof that it happened, it was dark, no witnesses and so on.

Sometimes China indeed sucks big time!

Chinese style vs. Swedish Style

Since moving to Stockholm I have gotten lots of Asian friends;
The Chinese exchange students here are unfortunately not very fun people (compared to Singaporeans, because they know how to party!), they tend to be VERY shy and they ALL have horrible style. Then again, almost all exchange students have bad style. Here in Stockholm you can see if someone is an exchange student just by a glance of the person's clothes, which is quite sad as Stockholm people tend to dress in the same way.

However you can always discuss what is "good style". My relatives in Shanghai think I dress like a 50 years old woman. While a lot of Swedes think that Chinese girls dress like a twelve years old.

What do you prefer? Stockholm Streetstyle or Shanghai Streetstyle?


Which city's style do you prefer?
Stockholm style
Shanghai style

Christina AGUILERA is coming to Shanghai

Not only Wentworth Miller, but also Christina Aguilera is coming to the best city on earth - Shanghai! 26th June she will perform in Shanghai Grand Stage. I think all the tickets are sold out already, but check this site first, maybe there are some left. I'm not very into her so I don't care, I think she looks 101 % fake and her songs aren't really that good. She will be singing songs from her newest album "Back to Basic". Compared to Britney she is a nothing. I will always love Britney, no matter how many times she shaves off her head.
Christina is just an avantgarde wannabe, a Marilyn Monroe copy who acts like Madonna.

Britney is real.

Wentworth Miller is coming to China!!!!

Wentworth Miller is coming to China to promote the Chinese version of Prison Break, Shanghai will probably be included in his China promorion tour.

I remember in high school, me and my friends would sit in the classroom and just wait for Mariah Carey's music video to come out so we could get a glimpse of him. However, from Mariah Carey's first video (It's like that) I thought that Julia Roberts brother Eric was hotter in that video than Wentworth, my friends thought I was a freak (I think so too) as Eric is like 50 something (ew). However, the second music video by Mariah Carey was "We belong together" where she runs away with Wentworth, and he is sooooooooooooooooo HOT in that music video. I finally agreed with my friends and I was no longer a freak.

He's coming in June when I'm there. Although, I'm not a groupie.

Why does Shanghai have to imitate London???

I remember I loved those plastic yellow phone boots, but then a year later when i returned to Shanghai they changed those to typical British red phone booths. Also, now they have a red double-decker sightseeing bus. Also, isn't Shanghai building this HUGE ferris wheel on the Bund that is going to be even bigger than London Eye? Next thing, they can build a Shanghai Tower Bridge and put the world's next biggest diamond in it.

Well, I'm still happy to hear that Shanghai now offers free sightseeing buses with english tourist guiders that drives around Lujiazui in Pudong.

"The open-deck red bus attracted more than 300 passengers on its first day of operation on Monday.And traffic authorities say the service is so popular that they plan to add four more buses to the service before the National Day holiday in October.The clearly-marked sightseeing bus has nine stops at venues such as Shanghai Super Brand Mall, Jin Mao Tower and HSBC Mansion, and takes about 30 minutes to complete its journey."
"Visitors can recognize the bus by its sign along the coach saying Lu Jiazui Sightseeing Bus.The route covers almost 40 kilometers around the financial district, which is popular with shoppers and tourists."
