Posted on: Reading Faces and Shanghai Architecture
September 23, 2008 at 3:50 PMHi folks
My first post here! I've bene a poddie for several months and just arrived in Hangzhou for a 4 month placement. I've been very grateful for the company of ChinesePod as I don't know anyone here and CCTV 9's repeats are getting a bit tiresome.
Given the topic of this DA I thought some of you might be interested in this new video clip filmed in Shanghai by a new Aussie group made up of well known Aussie musos. The song is causing a buzz - albumn being released in early October. Many scenes will be familiar for those that know Shanghai.
"Australia is burning with the impact of a new music video released by Empire of the Sun, a collaboration between Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore. Their first single, “Walking on a Dream”, was filmed appropriately in Shanghai, the setting for the novel and movie, Empire of the Sun."
Posted on: I want coffee!
December 13, 2008 at 5:52 AMIn response to Pete's question re drinking habits changing... I have never liked coffee or tea. However since being in China for 3 months (from Oz) I now like tea. But only the Chinese kind of tea - still can't stomach western tea.
However, hot chocolate with milk... always. Starbucks' hot chocolates though - so strong! I take it home and top up with milk to make two cups. And I thought I could take chocolate stronger than anyone I knew (that and coke provide me with caffeine).
