However, be prepared to meet with mostly Chinese speakers in most low and mid-range public shops and restaurants, so come handy with a Chinese language book or travel with a Chinese-speaking guide.

Wow - I can barely remember how to use Wordpress it’s been that long. Having taken the initiative only to post things that I consider to be worth noting, and never to recycle links or stories featured on other people’s blogs, content dried up. This was because I was moving to a new apartment. This time it’s a more permanent place to live, now I’m beginning my 3rd year in Tokyo. Moving was no mean feat either. I had to pay big money to actually move in, I had to inform...

So! I finally got my paws on an Amazon Kindle, which is an e-reader. What makes me drool over it is the way it displays text with some black sorcery called 'e-ink', magically moving actual ink around a page. It's ... well, rather like those moving newspapers from Harry Potter. But it's even better than that because this sexy little device has FREE INTERNET included. Let me make myself clear: Free internet does not exist in Japan. No wi-fi anywhere can be had for free in the city, which I've...

It is absolutely freezing in Shanghai last week and this week, with temperatures dropping to -2 celcius. It even snowed yesterday, and it hardly ever snows in Shanghai! The chill is painful - it eats right into your bones and snap-freezes your fingers if they're exposed. Ugh. In anticipation of glorious summer, I've got a pair of Jimmy Choo turquoise jewel sandals! The barely-there sandals will be brilliant in the sweltering heat of Shanghai's summer, and I really like the cheery colours...
