@les I have to totally disagree with that. There is out right demonization by some people on some sides, but not all. I would prefer to think of my own position (not that I matter, but argument's...

To want everything to be apolitical seems to border on some kind of mental illness. I won't go as far as to say that the Olympics are "inherently political", but I think what is key is that we are all...

i had this idea a while ago. Or rather i noticed that although there are and were some attempts, mostly online, to do french online mags in China, that no one really put together a strong product. thi...

yeah i hate it when Shanghaiist fails to live up to its journalistic mission, shooting itself in the foot with posts like this and letting the Guardian, El Mundo, Le Monde, the New York Times and the ...

i'd have to agree with Les and skaching, and I don't see why signing a work contract implies that you are morally obliged not to complain. According to the post, the complaint was publicized by a NZ p...

*full disclosure* I worked for That's, meaning the same company that NVR was a part of. There are fair criticisms of NVR, and there are those that are unfair. You can say that what they did was not ...

yeah, but there are no individuals...its pretty much just "what were the biggest news stories of the year" without it being absolutely limited to big news stories... ...

i used to dislike nanhe until i became a china-hater myself. still i refrain from commenting on blogs, mostly because i refrain from reading them. really, life is too short to be caring blog comments....

i really don't think that there are a "million" of these stores around, especially when this one is over 500 square meters devoted purely to liquor. my point was not to say that this place is better t...
