Pudong Starbucks is Nice It's funny to see the many comments about Starbucks itself, the import of American products/culture etc. It's not about that. You go there for the view. You pay 12 kuai for a "coffee of the day" and you see ships in all sizes sail by while you talk with friends. Look a bit further, just behind the ships, and you'll see the Bund. |

Life in a Low Cost Labor World That last comment strikes me as a bit strange. Even Fedex planes can crash, and UPS employees are also able to steal. How different is an Express Man really from a big corporation like Fedex or UPS? Of course there is a big difference, size wise, organization wise etc. But in the end of the day only one thing is a relevant. Does the package get from A to B. Apparently the Kuai Di is a reliable, proven form for making deliveries in Shanghai. So why risky, because it's not Western? |

So Many Typos in Shanghai Metro I think it's a very noble cause you are trying to pursue. It reminds me of an article I read a few weeks ago in the Shanghai Daily. The article mentioned the fact that the Shanghai Local Government intends to get rid of all Chinglish, Misspellings etc. They would consult Chinese experts and overseas (probably meaning Chinese who returned to China after some studies abroad) Chinese experts to make sure the English signs would be perfect. I missed one thing in the article, they didn't mention consulting native speakers. I am Dutch and still in the process of improving my English, evenmore I dare asking people to correct me if I am wrong. And that happens a lot. If the local government would adopt such an approach or maybe even pay a well educated Englishman there might be a chance things will improve. |
