Shanghai
Thursday, 06 September 2012Why should you choose Shanghai for your year abroad?
Shanghai is London on steroids, and that’s all you need to know. Where else can you find a golden Buddhist temple in the middle of a busy main road (Jing An Temple)? Where else can you find the glaringly gorgeous skyline of The Bund? Or China’s take on New York City’s ‘Times Square’? Shanghai, as the financial and entertainment centre of China, boasts the brash and the beautiful, and the two come together in the most giddy and flamboyant fashion.Published in China -
China
Thursday, 06 September 2012Why should you choose China for your year abroad?
A lecturer once told me: ‘Live in China for a week, and you could write a book. Live there for a month, you could write an essay. Live there a year and you can’t write anything at all!’ Perhaps I would not go as far as that, but my lecturer’s proclamation certainly illustrates the huge land of contrast and chaos that engulfs The Middle Kingdom.

Beijing
Thursday, 06 September 2012Why should you choose Beijing for your year abroad?
Beijing. The cultural and historical centre of China - otherwise known as The Middle Kingdom. One of the most densely inhabited cities on this planet. Your home for the next academic year.
As far as capital cities go, you can’t find bigger or much more of a metropolis than Beijing. Workers come from all over the country to earn a Beijing-weighted salary and this is evident in particular at rush hour on public transport, where sometimes there is no room to swing a cat. Did I mention that Chinese does not have a term for ‘personal space’?

Brash Beijing
Friday, 10 September 2010Beijing, China – lively, historical, urban, Far Eastern
Regrettably the second part of my year abroad – in Beijing, was a short one – I was limited to a month in the city due to health problems. However, a month was certainly enough to get more than just a feel for one of the world’s biggest and most mysterious cities.Published in Chinese-Speaking -
Happening Urumqi
Tuesday, 16 February 2010Urumqi (Wulumuqi) in Xinjiang, China – busy, 2 million people, foodie's heaven
There were plenty of bars and clubs (both Western and Chinese-run) as well as heaps of restaurants (it's China after all). There were good Korean and Japanese restaurants nearby too. There are ski-slopes in the winter (both near and far from Uruqmi), and desert trips/tours etc. in summer.Published in Chinese-Speaking
