Chinese Drama On Trying to Make It With Hip-Hop

admin | 23 June, 2008 05:45

I was kinda shocked to see this myself...

I don't know how many shows there are, but you can take a look, they are all on Tudou.com. I think Tangking told me about this...

50 Moganshan Lu is the bomb

admin | 15 June, 2008 10:54

I need to go there more often...

The last time I was at 50 Moganshan Lu, I was working with the 'Nanking' movie crew at Art Deco. Zoe and I finally found a reason to go checking out second hand fleamarket for our friend Kuli.

The place is full of art studios, clothing designers, antique furniture stores, bookstores and cafes. It's the SoHo of Shanghai, but a bit smaller, more Chinese and trendier.

On our way out, I bumped into two Middlebury alums who also studied Chinese and now live in Hangzhou. They loved the place and would love to go back.

Here's more pics!

Speaking of the fleamarket, my boy Shige (You might recognize him as DJ Shige if you are around Shanghai) had his stuff on sale there and also runs his own little business on the side selling battle breaks and DJ equipment on-line and via e-mail at Scratch Temple. You can contact him at mail@scratchtemple.com. He knows his stuff.

The Greenwich Village has finally come to Shanghai

admin | 13 June, 2008 17:41

This was taken on the 2 line in Shanghai... How did I miss this?

The guy in the red with the glasses looks a little... uncomfortable...

"It's gotta be the shoes."

On the note of 'interesting' people on the train, there's this portly guy who (I saw him on the 1 train with my wife) gets on the train, starts ranting away some speeches, preaches about life and current events on the train out loud. It's kind of funny. If anyone can find videos or stories on this guy, please send them in.

Oh snap... Liu Xiang, WATCH OUT!

admin | 13 June, 2008 10:21

This guy just beat Liu Xiang's 110m hurdle world record.

His name is Dayron Robles, he's from Cuba, and he is fast! Liu Xiang, as some of you may know, is the reigning king and motivation for the Olympics out here in China. He's in numerous ads out here including Nike and Coke.

Looks like there's some competition brewing in the air from Mr. Liu! Every milisecond counts!

Here's a vid of Liu Xiang's record breaking run last year.

In Jeju, Korea two weeks from today...

admin | 09 June, 2008 13:48

MoJo in... Korea?

Even I need a break. In two weeks, my lovely wife and I will take a trip to the magical island of Jeju, Korea on the 23rd. Just an early warning. I will not update my blog during this time, but up till then, I'll keep filling up this puppy as much as I can till my departure and come back with more posts, news and reviews afterward.

Although this isn't my first time in Korea, I expect it to be my most relaxing trip there (maybe the most relaxing trip ever?) . (Clean air, beuatiful scenery, no meetings, gigs or traffic and some quality time with Zoe...) Wish I could bring ya'll along, but... nah!!! haha

Monsoon Season has arrived!!

admin | 09 June, 2008 13:22

Get your umbrella... ella... ella... eh... eh... eh...

When in Shanghai, or any part of China, during this time of the year, expect VERY STRANGE weather. It'll last for about 2-3 weeks. Also, expect a lot of rain. (Even if you don't expect it, expect it.) Carry a small umbrella in your bag. It's going to be wet and then riduclously hot...

Here's some music to get you going during these rainy, cloudy days. Cheeah!!

No more plastic bags!!!

admin | 06 June, 2008 07:57

You darn skippy it's not a plastic bag!!

Convenience stores and supermarkets are over China are ditching plastic bags for environmental safety. (Actually, you can still get a bag, but it costs extra, and most people don't want to spend more money than they have to.) I think China will make this into a fashion contest, "Who has the prettiest, most cutting edge big shopping bag."

YES WE CAN!!!

admin | 05 June, 2008 07:22

Change is good...

Just want to move away for the China thing for a minute to bring up something alos quite important, the 2008 Election. Thank you, Mom, for bringing me this big new all the way from the US.

Barack Obama beat out Hillary Rodham Cllinton as the Democratic candidate for the presidential election.

THIS - IS - BIG - NEWS

It was a huge battle between Clinton and Obama, but when asked whether or not she would run on the democratic party ticket, Hillary responded - She'll do whatever she could - even a vice presidential bid - to get Dems into the White House.

YES WE CAN!!!

Obama was as proud and as strong as could be claiming the Democratic nomination, but like any important, smart and genuine political figure would go, he goes into the heart of the issues. Here's his statement on McCain:

Take a day off, fool! It's Dragon Boat Festival!

admin | 03 June, 2008 10:46

Zong Zi -- WHAT, FOOL?!?!

Enough with th fool stuff... There's a holiday coming up and it's called the Dragon Boat Festival. All I know about the holiday is that people race on long boats kind of like crew but with dragon heads on the front of the boat and people eat lots of Zong Zi.

What's a Zong Zi? I don't have a direct translation, but it's a bunch of sticky rice filled with meat (or egg) and wrapped with bamboo leaves. it's really good, unless you find that your Zong Zi doesn't have enough meat (they can kep the egg)... grrr...

You can get a lot of Zong Zi in Zhejiang province in Jiaxing. Go Get YOURS.

HA HA HA: The Movie

admin | 02 June, 2008 10:42

HA HA HA
Yes, that's the movie's name. I think you know by now that it's a comedy. It features David Wu (You might have heard of him from Talk Da Talk) and one of my favorite comedy duos in China, The Back Dorm Boys. (They became famous in China and around the world for lip-synching a lot of Backstreet Boys and other English and Chinese pop tunes. See below:

Their expressions are just plain unforgetable...

Anyway, back to the flick. "HA HA HA" is a comedy about a baby from a rich family who gets stolen by a bunch of bad guys, but when the bad guys lose the baby, a poor family whose been trying a praying for ages to have a child gets the baby on their doorstep as a nice little surprise.

This movie (Like most Chinese comedies) starts off like a lot of Adam Sandler movies, really slow, silly and hard to follow, but as time goes along, you get into it. There are a lot of China related figures and themes in the movie, like the Chinese Boss who has a lot of money from some random business, the crazed internet bar junkies who think their lives are like an RPG computer game (played by the Back Dorm Boys), and how the baby flies into the poor couple's home via a huge pink balloon in the shape of a pig. (In China, the pig always stands for abundance and fertility.)

Give it a try!
