Does Hotmail Work in China? Well I'm not going to read through the millions of comments but if you go to mail.live.com you can login to your hotmail that way. hotmail.com doesn't work. alternatively you could try cn.msn.com if you can muddle your way through the chinese to the email button then that might also be a route. |

"Love China" Blooms on MSN Messenger （Ｌ）ＣＨＩＮＡ － 全世界爱祖国的华人现在写的 （Ｎ）Ｗｅｓｔｅｒｎ Ｈｙｐｏｃｒｉｓｙ |

"Love China" Blooms on MSN Messenger Wow, so an entry like this produces the most comments. Like I have always said before its when the Chinese haters have the chance to,that they will lash out (like that Cafferty guy on CNN) But it's expected that with success one will produce enemies. I guess the West does not want to see a rising power. Scared dogs bark the loudest. Don't be hypocritical ... free Hawaii (which is oceans away from America), Alaska, the "American" Samoa, stop bombing Vierques Puerto Rico for US military practice! |

More Discussion on Tibet This is for all of the band-wagon jumpers and anti-China bashers in general: If you're going to say "Shame on China" and try to snuff out the Torch in an attempt to boycott the Olympics, don't forget to fight for Hawaii (since its oceans apart from the USA mainland), protest the US military practice bombing of Vieques, Puerto Rico, to give CA back to Mexico and free "American" Samoa and of course to get out of Iraq. You can address the administration, but don't criticize the people and the athletes they are cheering for. Don't use this as an excuse for China bashing. My 2 cents: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/contribute/sn/persona?User=koukexgw&plckPersonaPage=BlogViewPost&plckUserId=koukexgw&plckPostId=Blog%3akoukexgwPost%3a435f083d-5a64-472b-bad7-5d0d0944095b&plckController=PersonaBlog&plckScript=personaScript&plckElementId=personaDest |

Hand-Made Map of Pudong Area Hi, I am trying to get an internship at the following address 1493 S Pudong Rd., Pudong. The problem is that I completely Ignore where it is and I wasn't able to find an interactive map of Shanghai. The company is called "Shanghai Huizhong Automative Manufacturing" (www.shac.com.cn/). Do you know how far it is located from the city centre (f.ex. the Bund)? Thanks for any hint :-) |

Fight Between Foreigners and Local @ling, "However, I still cannot accept how the Japanese (most of them) can blatantly attempt to rewrite history and refuse to apologise." Where are your facts on how MOST Japanese blatantly attempt to rewrite history? If you're talking about the revised textbooks, a vast majority of schools REFUSED to use them. Is that what you're talking about? Also, no Japanese person who was not involved in the war of aggression (IE, basically all Japanese under the age of 65) owes ANYONE an apology. The disaster wrought upon Asia by the Japanese imperial army was a travesty, yes, but it was in the past. People shouldn't have to apologize for crimes they didn't commit. |

Long Metro Trains on Line #1 That's really cool! It's much more sophisticated than the out-dated subway system in San Francisco that we call BART. I don't even want to go there for fear of getting shot. |

The Scar in People's Heart That's funny, today before I read your blog I was just thinking about a movie I saw a long time ago called "To Live" that portrayed how that era of time affected people's lives. I'm surprised that this movie was even made ... perhaps it was carefully produced the same way your entry was written conscientiously written.

Shanghai is Coooold Also, demographics such as age, location, social class is all important. For example, If I took a survey in Texas about who supports Bush, results may say a good percentage would. Does this accurately reflect what most of America thinks about him? |
| 45 |
Shanghai is Coooold A survey may be biased especially if it's a small or certain percentage of the population that is taking it. Internet surveys in particular do not accurately reflect the true results of a whole population. Perhaps most of the unhappy ones took the survey at the time - as well as a small percentage of Chinese? The Chinese that I've met were rather prideful, so does that mean most Chinese are prideful? No, there are many types of people who feel differently so nothing can be generalised. |
| 44 |
Shanghai is Coooold jqian - I totally agree. Everyone else - every nation has its good and bad sides to it. It depends on what kind of person you are. Do you see the glass half empty or half full? Despite other issues China needs to improve upon, I am happy to see how quickly the country has changed in such a short period of time. Ever since Deng Xiaoping's decision to open China and to develop the economy it's seen a unprecedented transformation which I have give them credit for as well other gradual changes in progress. This is what I'm proud of. |
| 43 |
Shanghai is Coooold jqian - you might not hear Americans say it often in China, but in America, people do often say "I'm proud to be an American" and don't always have to state it verbally. Ever since the 9/11 attacks there are American flags and patriotic messages all over cars and buildings. I don't see why either should be offensive to say. I guess because pride and ego have the connotation of saying you're better than others. If people let go of their pride and ego just a little and see everyone as equals, this would be a better peaceful world. Of course it's just human nature to do this. |

Pudong Airport Maglev in Depth We just got home from China after a short vacation and were very happy to be able to arrange to travel to the airport for our first leg to Siingapore via the maglev. The 20 or so seconds at top cruising speed of 431 kms per hour were truly an amazing ride. It's only a shame the City end terminal is still a fairly long taxi ride from downtown however this is a minor detail and all those in Shanghai ought to be very proud both of the City itself and the maglev. Nice visit. Steve from Australia |

I Want to Go to India I would NOT go to India. Why? Cause I just do not wanna poison myself with coke or pepsi containing a large dose of pesticides. Think about it, Coke or pepsi can get the best water resources in India. Even they can not guarantee clean water purely free of pesticides for their products, who else can? Most likely, if I dined out in a restaurant in India, I would have to drink or eat contaminated water through drinks or food. I just feel sad for the local Indians. |

Rujia Qingdao, Fuzhou Road I also recommend 锦江之星, which I stayed at in Shanghai for 1 month. I paid about $25 USD/day. |

I Want to Go to India 王建硕, your open-mindedness surprises me. That's a really good thing. I've never been to India either and trying to focus on the good and positive, I hear it's a spiritual place. I hope you have a good experience if you ever go there. |

Shanghai Metro Line #4 yes, everyone has the right to express their opinions. We should learn to ignore comments that are extremely biased. Usually the author just needs to vent or express their anger/disatisfaction. (especially the infamous Bellevue) When I was in Shanghai I became homesick for a few months but once I got over that phase I was fine. Now I'm back in the USA (supposedly the best country in the world - another biased view) But better in one terms? - maybe its just that we are richer due to the exchange rate, but everything is relative. Anyway I miss Shanghai. I miss being able to walk on the streets and take the subway (even at night) and still feel safe. You see, every place has its good and bad. America certainly has its problems as well. |
| 33 |
Fake Market in Shanghai? I've also thought that the Chinese manufacturers should use the skills they have to create their own brand and therefore most of the profit is pocketed domestically, but actually the truth is that most people in Shanghai do not want to buy a local product. Perhaps the media has given us the impression that foreign is the way to go. Hopefully this will change some day soon. |

Hotmail Blocked in China FANTASTIC!!!! I am working in China and was so pissed off I couldn't access my Hotmail account. Your first option allowed me in. Well done and great work. can I use Messenger? |

Fudan v.s. Tongji University David, From the look of the Shanghai skyline it seems like there would be a lot of job opportunities for civil engineers here. Modern skycrapers and cranes are visible no matter which direction I turn. Regarding the job search. The only advice I can give is what has worked for me. A few years ago I was getting ready to graduate in electrical engineering and was looking for ways that I could leverage my Chinese language skills as an engineer. From surfing the web it seemed most companies here were looking for people that had 5-10 years of work experience. Instead I decided to look for a global company that I could work for in the U.S. and seek an international assignment within the company. To make a long story short, I found a company like this and started working for them after I graduated. After a year and half of working at corporate I got an assignment to come out and work at our branch in Shanghai. After coming to Shanghai I realized that we were able to recruit a lot of really good local guys for the engineering positions in China. I would recommend you get solid technical and leadership experience in the States that would differentiate yourself from local candidates and then seek opportunities to come to China in a management role. This is how a lot of us come to China. Good luck, Steve |

Cold Winter Comes wear a thermal under those layers of clothing and your wool/down jacket. A beanie is also important if you'll be outside for a while since most of your body heat emanates from your head. Last December it was so cold in Shanghai and the streets were covered with a layer of ice. It was easy to slip and fall. However, it felt much colder the more inland I went. |
| 28 |
Is this Water Safe to Drink? I drank tap water in Shanghai before when I ran out of bottled water, but did not get sick (although there was a filter installed). Then I realized, I've been drinking it the whole time since I drank fountain soda at KFC, McDonald's, etc. (I'm not sure how it is in China, but in the U.S. fountain soda = carbonated tap water + soda flavored syrup) |

Xiangyang Market - the Shopping Paradise Jonathan wrote: "I know that they sell brands such a Louis Vuitton, Polo, and North Face at the stalls, but do they also have brands such as Lacoste, Timberland, Sean John, Ecko Unlimited, Nike, Reebok, Rocawear, and Fubu?" Last time I was there, I didn't find any Lacoste, Timberland and the other brands you mention. They mostly sell Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and North Face, sometimes also Boss. There are some shoes, yes, but I don't know whether they are fake or not. I think fake, because Nike shoes are produced in Thailand or the Phillipines. |

Typhoon Hit Shanghai Hi there in Shanghai! My Dad is in Shanghai for a businesstrip, he says it's still very hot. He also told me some houses very unroofed by the typhoon, some fields were layed waste and greenhouses were completely destroyed. But you write that Shanghai is lucky... Greetings from Germany! |

RMB Finally Goes Strong yes, its just a political move. A greater appreciation of the RMB wouldn't be favorable to China. Chinese imports to the U.S. for example would be more expensive, so there will be less demand for Chinese goods as a result. American tourists who come to China will realize less value in their money. The floating exchange rate has been urged by the United States in order to help the deficit and strengthen domestic demand. However Greenspan explained that it wouldn't help very much. In my opinion, more expensive Chinese imports in the U.S. may cause a very mild rise in the price level in the U.S. if the RMB value shot up. This would just cause a rise in the inflation level of the U.S. economy. Minimum wage would rise, unions will complain ... etc etc. just my opinion |

Pudong Starbucks is Nice In response to Jennifer's comment, I think it may have to do with a difference of culture or perhaps because Starbucks is the new thing there. Here in the liberal area of California, people actually prefer to go to independent cafes to study and socialize rather than the "greedy corporate" Starbucks. It's no surprise to see a petition here to protest the non-stop building of a new Starbucks in certain neighborhoods such as "little Osaka" Town in San Francisco. I personally don't mind Starbucks too much... they have good drinks and they're convenient. |

No Baggars Premitted on Metro? The pan-handlers should be banned in any public transit system. Surely sympathy is a virtue but everyone subject to harassment in public area? No. The well-to-do Shanghai government should shell out some tax payers' money to help those unfortunate souls. In San Francisco, homeless people are registered with the local government and receive a few hundred bucks in cash every month. (To be specific, "cash grants of roughly $400 a month to about 2,600 homeless people", see article http://sfindependent.com/article/index.cfm/i/073103n_cnc) Could I suggest a topic for your blog? With the crude oil and unleaded gas recording historical high prices day by day, does it change your driving habits? Is the rising gas price related to the slowdown in car demand in China? BTW, I spend $200 a month on gas for daily commute of 50 miles to work. However, a survey in L.A. showed that people won't change their driving habits (using public transit, carpool, etc) unless the gas goes above $5/gallon. Right now, it is between $2.20 and $2.50. I think the price tag at Chinese gas station doesn't change daily whereas it fluctuates daily here just like stock prices. Are you paying any attention to the gas price? Please share your experience. |

Salary in Shanghai - Part II Hi, I am also interested in moving to Shanghai or area. My girlfriend is considering going back to teach English as a 2nd Language and has everything she needs. I would like to go with her, but don't have a clue what I would do for work while I am there. I work in computers providing English technical support for Notebooks and handheld computers (major US Manufactuer, but am subcontracted). I also use to support desktops. I am wondering where would be a good place to start looking and what my chances are seeing as I can only speak English right now. I am trying to learn Mandarin though. Thanks. Steve. |

Transportation Problems in National Holiday Having spent most of the last two years in Suzhou and teaching at Suda, I have returned to New York and am writing a book about daily life in China for average Suzhouren. Can anyone help me with information about the process for an average Chinese citizen of getting a driver's license, buying a car, insuring it, etc.? I have lots of questions but it's difficult to get information. Thanks. Steve (mathman180@aol.com) |

Driving for Exams Dear Jian Shuo: I am an American living in New York City who has spent much of the last two years in Suzhou, including two semesters spent teaching business classes at Suzhou University. I am currently writing a book about daily life for ordinary people in Suzhou, and I am wondering if you can give me some help understanding the rules and regulations under which people in China are permitted to obtain a driver's license for a small motorbike, a motorcycle, or a personal car. I have a number of additional questions I would like to ask you. If you or anyone else viewing your weblog would be willing to help me, I'd be most appreciative. My name is Steve Koss and you can contact me at mathman180@aol.com. Thanks so much! |

Beijing 2008 Olympic Emblem Unvieled I am glad that the Beijing Olympic Organising Committee did not pick some cutesy animal or mascot (like a Panda) for the 2008 games. Yes, the Olympic games are suppose to be fun but its also a serious sporting event, not a carnival. At first glance, the logo looks like a simply-drawn running man but a closer look reveals its hidden calligraphy (it sort of looks like the 'jing' or city character written in Chinese). Plus its shape (like a stone) has an ancient quality to it. Overall, a nice logo in my humble opinion. |

DB_File Error When Installing MovableType Now I am really confused. After spending a few days trying to get Berkley DB_file working with MT I gave up and thought - ok, my server I'll just install mysql and use that instead. Installed mysql, installed the DBI and DBD interfaces. Created a database. EXACTLY the same problem. mt-check from command line finds mysql and reports is installed. mt-check from the browser fails. So if I try to run mt-load I get the Unsupported driver MT::ObjectDriver::DBI::mysql: Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC ... error This is so bizzare. Do you think this could be an apache issue? Steve |

MovableType Successfully Installed on Windows XP A word of warning to people! Be very careful using DB_File. They change their file format often, and I am currently getting screwed by that fact. I am moving my blog from one server to another. The problem is that the old server has DB_File 1.73. The new one has 1.806. The two are incompatible with each other. To make matters worse, I can't find the 1.73 package that I used (it's no longer on ActiveState). In case you're curious what you're using: PPM> query DB_File If you do go the DB_File route, save a copy of the ActiveState MSI and a copy of the DB_File package. Trust me; you don't want to be where I am now. |
