We are spoiling you with two Travel Talk (pages 18 to 22) stories this month. First, we transport you to the calm shores of Khanom, Thailand, to visit pink dolphins and idyllic, white, sandy beaches. Then, we take you on safari in Serengeti National Park, with all manner of wild animals.

Are you addicted to the many varieties of noodles on offer in the city? Are you worried about your waistline as a result? Never fear.

Health Talk (page 12) will educate you on how to avoid the extra calories but still enjoy the tasty treat.

Speaking of our waistlines, we have dining reviews of new restaurants Iza and Notting Hill as well as our food columnist’s lowdown of the city’s dining scene (pages 31 and 32).

Finally, we have the latest hotel news, food and drink deals as well as our essential listings at the back (pages 40 onwards). Now, let’s Talk!

OPINION: GUEST COLUMN

Tracing Your Food Sources Can Help Protect You And Your Family In China

Elizabeth Schieffelin

If you are new to China, you have likely spent time researching and selecting the best air and water filters on the market. But how much do you know about the food you are buying every day?

I

n China, the food industry tends to be fragmented and lacks transparency. There is also low awareness about contamination and hygiene standards.

Headlines about mislabelled expired meat, arsenic laced soy sauce and melamine in milk help to perpetuate widespread anxiety but dose little to educate consumers about how to protect themselves.

The key to winning the battle for safe food is to be a detective and not just a consumer. By asking the right questions and taking a few simple precautionary steps, you will find yourself on the path to improved health and vitality.

When selecting a green grocer, you will quickly get a sense of food quality based on responses to the questions you ask about farm location (Is it close to a major polluted city? Are factories nearby with runoff?), practices (Where are seeds coming from? What chemicals are used?) and what is grown (Is this in season?).

Be wary of the fact that the majority of the small farms in China use high levels of growth hormones, pesticides and other chemicals to boost crop yields. As a Certified Holistic Health Coach, I’m constantly reminding clients to ask where and how things are grown. In my experience, when suppliers are vague about where their produce is coming from, they are usually buying from the wet market.

Whenever possible, buy directly from the farms offering produce subscriptions or support green grocers who work

with organic or sustainable farms. For example, Kate & Kimi (www.kateandkimi.com) provides full information about its partnership with Gusto Fine Foods, the grower of vegetables for China’s top restaurants. And Biofarm (www. biofarm.cn) offers convenient delivery of organic veggie boxes as well as farm visits.

Regardless of where you shop, properly washing your produce can make a world of difference. Be cautious when choosing produce listed by the Environmental Working Group (www.ewg.org/foodnews) as the “Dirty Dozen” as they are most likely to be contaminated with pesticides.

In order to properly wash your veggies, use a 3:1 mixture of water and white vinegar. Simply soak produce for at least 5-10 minutes and rinse with filtered water. The vinegar will drastically reduce your exposure, killing 98% of bacteria and pesticides.

These same issues are equally relevant when it comes to animal protein. Choose grass-fed (not grain-fed) for a far superior product and try to eat meat from hormone- and antibiotic-free sources like the Natural Poultry Group.

Antibiotics in meat can be especially damaging to children and you may consider integrating more forms of nonanimal protein into your family’s diet. Easy-to-find sources include lentils, beans, peanut butter, hemp seeds, quinoa and spirulina or chlorella supplements.

When eating out at restaurants, keep asking those questions and hold kitchens accountable for the cleanliness

of food they serve. If the restaurant cannot confirm where the meat is from or if “washing” veggies means briefly running lettuce under unfiltered water you will have issues. When in doubt, avoid the dirty dozen and go for the steamed options on the menu. Be especially wary at juice bars – the last thing you want to do is pay 30rmb for liquefied pesticides!

Although frustrating at times, our awareness about safety and toxins actually presents an opportunity to take a close look into what we are feeding our families. And not all food in China is dangerous or scary. By educating yourself and working with the businesses that promote transparency and sustainability, you will find that eating in Shanghai can actually be delicious and healthy!

AROUNDTOWN Your news round-up for the month of October Disney Calling

Pudong? The talented among us can send their CVs to shdr.auditions@ disney.com.

A Car For One And All

A recent report has predicted that car ownership in China will reach 400 million in the near future. Although no date was given, the forecast was made after taking into account the fact that China is speeding towards becoming a moderately prosperous nation. Currently, there are 130 million automobiles in China, including trucks and buses, which is roughly one motorised vehicle per 10 people. The annual production of cars is estimated to double to meet future demand. This is not such good news for rush hour traffic jams.

London Cabs

This month, don’t get confused and think that you are on the streets of England when you see the synonymous shape of a famous London cab. Shanghai is launching a new version of the taxis, which will be given a gold makeover. The charge is expected to start at a relatively steep price of RMB 19, although this price has nothing on their London cousins. The cabs are aimed at providing service to elderly and disabled customers with a ramp fitted for easy access. However, it may initially prove hard to spot them, as only 50 are being released in the first batch.

Metro Checks Yield Results

Between June 2014 and last month, almost 10000 prohibited items were detected during security checks on the city’s metro.

Items including firecrackers, gasoline, alcohol, knives and replica guns were amongst the haul. We feel safer in the knowledge that these security checks are actually working.

Taxi Tipping Apps Over

Last month, the Shanghai Transport Commission stated that the tipping function on third-party taxi booking apps such as Didi and Kuaidi must be discontinued. It remains to be seen how strictly this rule will be adhered to and how it will effect third-part taxi booking apps. However, it is worth keeping in mind, even during this bad weather that violators could be fined from RMB 30000 to RMB 100000.

Family In Fun

Casey Hall

Expat life in Shanghai often seems to revolve around eating, drinking and general debauchery – all done to excess. But this doesn’t mean the city isn’t also a kid friendly place to hang out. Here are Talk’s top ten picks for family fun in the city.

For Your Amusement

Under The Sea

L

ujiazui’s Shanghai Ocean Aquarium is one of Shanghai’s most enduring family activities, which is why we advise you avoid weekend trips if at all possible – this place gets packed!

It’s one of the largest ocean aquariums in the world and is home to more than 10000 varieties of creatures from the deep, as well as the world’s longest underwater tunnel (which weighs in at an impressive 155 metres).

Unlike many other zoos and animal-related activities in China, the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium actually has a really good international reputation, so you don’t have to feel bad about enjoying the spectacle. Adult tickets are priced at RMB 180 and kids under 1.4 metres are RMB 110 (shorter than one metre and your kid gets in for free).

H

appy Valley is Shanghai’s favourite amusement park and features rides (including China’s first wooden rollercoaster) for kids of all ages. Within the park there are seven sub-sections: Happy Times, Typhoon Bay, Sunshine Beach, Ant Kingdom, Gold Mine Town, Shanghai Beach and Shangri-la Woods. Ant Kingdom is best for younger kids.

As is to be expected in China, when the weekend weather is nice, the crowds descend, so be prepared for a decent chunk of your day to be spent queuing.

Prices are RMB 200 for adults and RMB 100 for kids shorter than 1.2 metres.

Open daily. Hours: 9am – 6pm.

Happy Valley. 888 Linhu Lu, Songjiang. Tel: 3355 2222. Web: sh.happyvalley.cn

Open daily. Hours: 9am – 6pm (extended to 9pm during holiday periods). 158 Yincheng Bei Lu, near Lujiazui Huan Lu. Tel: 5877 9988. Web: www.sh-aquarium.com

Toon Town

I

n the rather out-of-the-way location of the Zhangjiang Hi-Technology Park, the Shanghai Animation & Comics Museum, is a fantastic choice for kids of all ages. This three-storey museum features interactive exhibits, and on the second floor families can even design their own short animated films, which they can then watch at the 3D movie theatre on the third floor.

On the first floor there is a 7000-piece collection of cartoon stills and life-size models of animation icons, from Marvel's favourite superheroes to Kungfu Panda, Mickey Mouse and even Astro Boy. Another exhibit on the first floor details the history of comics and animation in China, introducing visitors to some of the country's most important historical comic strips and characters. And it’s all yours for the bargain price of free!

Open Tuesday through Sunday. Hours: 10am – 5pm.

69 Zhangjiang Lu. Tel: 5895 7998. Web: museum. acgmall.com

Mini-Manis

E

veryone knows Shanghai expats love getting their nails done; it doesn’t matter what age they are. A couple of salons around town are welcoming of smaller customers, including Frangipani, which only uses products free of chemicals like formaldehyde, camphor, DPB and toluene, meaning their nail polishes are totally safe for kids (and expectant mothers too).

Kids’ mani is RMB 55, kids’ pedi is 85, nail art for kids is RMB 10 per finger, or RMB90 for a full set.

Open daily. Hours: 10am – 10pm. 204 Xinle Lu, near Donghu Lu. Tel: 5403 0227. Web: www.frangipani-shanghai.com

This acrobatic performance, which combines ancient Chinese acrobatic arts with modern technology, also loosely follows a story that travels from China’s olden days, to today’s futuristic urban landscape.

There’s juggling, tumbling and balancing galore (all taken to what must be the limit of human abilities) – then for the finale, an unbelievable number of dudes ride motorbikes around a comparably small sphere, certain death a millimetre of miscalculation away.

The 153-hectare park boasts more than 200 species of animals from around the world, and is split into a penned area that you are free to explore on foot – the walking section includes a giant panda hall, golden monkey hall, parrot house, white lion area, white tiger area, ostrich zone, kangaroo zoo and crocodile island – and an open park for the carnivores and other big game, which must be taken in from the seat of a tour bus. Adult tickets are RMB 130, with kids 80cm to 1.2 metres RMB 65 and little ones under 80cms free.

Open daily. Hours: March – November, 8am-5pm; December – February, 8:30am – 4:30pm. 178 Nan Liu Gong Lu (S 6th Highway), near Xiayan Gong Lu. Tel: 6118 0000. Web: www.shwzoo.com

Each Sunday, guests gather around The Stage restaurant on the ground floor and Prego Italian restaurant on the second floor of The Westin Bund Centre to eat their fill and drink the freely flowing Tattinger champagne, and at the same time be entertained by awe-inspiring acts of acrobatics, clowns and martial arts, as well as a 14-piece string orchestra.

If the live shows aren’t enough to keep the little ones entertained, a Kid’s Corner is also on offer, staffed with a nanny, and packed with toys, cartoons, games and kid-friendly food options.

Brunch Time

T

hough mountains of chilled seafood and free-flow champagne are distinctly adult endeavours, there’s no need to forego one of Shanghai’s greatest pleasures – a decadent Sunday brunch – just because you have kids in tow.

Prices are set at RMB 568 (+15%) per adult with free-flowing champagne; RMB 468 (+15%) per adult without free-flowing champagne; RMB 250 (+15%) per child, with kids under four dining for free.

Open Sundays. Hours: 11:30am – 2:30pm. The Westin Bund Centre, 88 Henan Zhong Lu, near Guangdong Lu. Tel: 6103 5048. Web: westin.com/shanghai

The Great Indoors

F

un in the sun is great, but there are lots of Shanghai days where being outdoors is unappealing for a variety of reasons – whether it is too hot, too cold, too rainy, too polluted or a combination of the above.

Of the city’s numerous indoor playgrounds, Fun Dazzle comes highly recommended by expat mums, who give the place top marks for cleanliness, safety and variety.

The cavernous space features an adventurous-looking climbing frame, tunnels, slides, ball pits and bouncy mats. According to Fun Dazzle, its play area is suitable for kids aged one to 12, but the outer edges of this age range will probably find the place a little over- or underwhelming. Entry is RMB 50 for two hours and kids are required to wear socks while playing.

Open daily. Hours: 10am – 7pm. 780 Changning Lu, inside Zhongshan Park. Tel: 6210 7388

Interactive Learning

E

ducational opportunities abound at Pudong’s Science and Technology Museum, as the exhibits fluctuate between the natural world and the impending future. With easy access from Metro Line 2, the museum draws in visitors from the first glance.

The playful architecture tricks the senses from the get-go with an optical illusion that makes the building appear to be standing on a lake, but the fun really begins when you walk through the doors.

From jungle forests brimming with exotic species to a challenging chess match against robots, the four-floor museum spirals all the way around the universe. A reflection on scientific progress and a journey on a spaceship through zero gravity will bring you back to present day. Kids’ tickets are RMB 45; adults get in for RMB 60.

Open Tuesday to Sunday. Hours: 9am – 5:15pm. 2000 Shiji Dadao. Tel: 6862 2000. Web: www.sstm.org.cn

Thomas Town

This playground covers an area of over 600 square meters and is located on the third floor of a shopping mall. About half of the space is circled by an electric railway track, which carries a small train pulling several carriages. The engine is decorated to look just like Thomas, while three other trains with the faces of Thomas' friends James, Emily and Percy are stationed beside the track.

Another section of Thomas Town features a playground for kids to run, climb and slide to their hearts’ content. RMB 65 buys unlimited play time from Monday to Friday, and two hours on weekends, plus it costs RMB 50 to ride the train for two laps. Best suited to kids aged between three and seven.

Homegrown Handbags Casey Hall

For a long time, handbag shopping in Shanghai has meant a trip to a fake market to pick up a good quality or cheap (rarely are they both) rip-off designer bag. For those looking for something a little more original, Shanghai’s burgeoning independent design scene is producing a crop of innovative handbag designers, offering a range of socially aware and super stylish accessories.

SOMOS

H

andmade in Cambodia from upcycled tarpaulin sacks, SOMOS is a socially aware enterprise supporting craftspeople in a developing country – but that’s hardly the whole story for the two-year-old, Shanghai-based brand.

Founders Alasdair Connell and Tatiana Gomez are trying to balance quality, design, moneymaking and doing the right thing with their brand, and thus far have managed to juggle these – at times conflicting – interests for their fledgling label.

“We started out very casually and we weren’t tremendously savvy business people, but we tried to observe what other people were doing well and tried to introduce something totally different here”, Connell said.

“I don’t think customers are going to buy more than one bag from us because the materials are recycled, or because it’s supporting developing business in Cambodia. It’s the cultural connection and this textural element that the bags have which makes them stand out and makes people go for them”.

After abandoning London’s dismal job market for the bright lights of Shanghai in 2010, a trip to Cambodia would lead to more than the pair had bargained for.

A chance encounter with a local woman using tarpaulin sacks – previously containing fish food and concrete, among other things – to make bags at a small tourist shop lead to the creation of SOMOS. The pair was encouraged to take the plunge with their own brand, at least in part, because of the entrepreneurial spirit in Shanghai’s air, where it was not unusual for them to meet other expats with “Rockefeller-like” stories of starting up a new company and finding success with little in the way of capital or experience.

“In the UK, it felt like business was something

With a product line including wallets and iPhone covers (RMB 100), handbags and laptop bags (RMB 200 to RMB 300) and sports bags (RMB 350 and up), SOMOS is now expanding beyond its original, Southeast Asian sourced materials, to include products locally-made with recycled Chinese materials, as well as locally-sourced, patterned fabrics.

his brand is the brainchild of Indonesian expat, and soon to be mother-oftwins, Rinnie Huang. Though Mozaik started life as a hobby, it has since grown to be a business with major ambitions.

“In the beginning it was only for fun. But I really liked it, so last year I got serious and started hiring people”, Huang explained.

“My goal is to have a $10 million revenue company, but I’m still writing my business plan”.

Huang’s first collections, featuring exotic materials sourced from and made in her homeland, have certainly won the brand

some fans, and now Mozaik is expanding into new materials, including woven leaves and traditional Indonesian textiles.

“I visited these small villages that make this by hand and I thought it was quite cool, you know, so we started playing around with a prototype”, she said, showing off her new designs.

Prices vary from RMB 650 for traditional fabric clutch, up to more than RMB 5000 for the large-sized snakeskin satchels.

Though the response has been positive and a steady stream of retailers in Shanghai and Beijing have started stocking the brand, part of the challenge for Mozaik, as for many local, independent brands, is to set itself apart and at the same time, make sure local consumers understand what they are trying to achieve.

“Our stuff is quite new and quite different, so we need to educate people about the products”, Huang said.

“I think of myself as a practical person, so I think a lot about people who are going to use the bags. Most of my bags are lightweight. My goal is to make something functional but lightweight”.

S

wedish-born and bred accessories designer, Mary Huynh, originally came to Shanghai to explore her Chinese ancestry, but the move also led her to follow her long-time passion for fashion and start her own brand, Designed by MaryH, in 2010.

Her first foray into the world of design was multi-use handbags that could be carried as a clutch, on the shoulder, or worn cross body, giving her customers the ability to cater one bag to different needs and occasions.

It would also set the scene for the brand, which still specialises in multiuse bags in a riot of colours.

“My Scandinavian background brings the minimal and the functional, while my Chinese background brings the colourful. I try to keep both cultures together”, Huynh explained to Talk, adding that she takes her own life and needs as inspiration when designing new products.

“I want to design things that I would like to use myself. I would like to stay with bags and shoes. If I do expand the product line, it will still be leatherrelated, I might make belts that match the bags or shoes, so people have the option to buy matching pieces if they want”.

Currently, Designed by MaryH has products that run the price spectrum from RMB 200, for small leather goods, up to RMB 2,000, for large convertible tote bags.

After four years in the business, Huynh is still focusing her operation on the Chinese market, which she has seen

becoming more open to independent brands since she first started out; in particular, responding to unique brand stories and a personal connection that’s much harder to cultivate with a largescale luxury label.

“I think [Chinese customers] are becoming more open to design in general, they want something that suits their own personal style. It’s nice for them to hear my personal, and the brand’s story, as well; I think they appreciate that kind of thing”, she said.

Though it presents its own set of unique challenges, Huynh is still excited by the opportunities on offer in Shanghai. Though success is far from guaranteed, the designer rates the energy of the city and the willingness of its people to try new things as major pluses for her local, independent brand.

“There are a lot of opportunities, people are open, but you really need to find the right partners.

You need to have the right mentality and personality to succeed here. Not everyone can do it”, Huynh said.

“There are definitely enough customers here, you just have to reach them”.

Help! I’m Addicted to Noodles Yes, we’ve all been there. We want to say no to that big dish of scrumptious-looking, delightfully fragrant noodles, but temptation peaks and before we know it, we’ve broken our

Giulia Sciota

diet by justifying that not eating the popular Asian staple would be an all-out insult to Chinese culture.

Queue guilt.

Tip 2

F

ear not, fellow noodle lovers. If you are an avid noodle aficionado but are serious about maintaining a healthy diet, we have a few tips that can help you enjoy the dish without waving your waistline goodbye.

Tip1: Know Your Noodles There is a surprising nutritional variety when it comes to different noodles.

Wheat, egg (which don’t always contain egg), rice… if you are shopping for noodles, learn to look at the nutritional information on the back of the pack. This will give you a better idea of what you’re dealing with when you eat out.

If you don’t read Chinese characters, don’t worry – the main culprits are easy to spot. The Chinese word for carbohydrates will be the easiest to find as it’s the only word with five characters (碳水化合 物). The word for sodium (钠) only has one. Fat (脂肪) and energy content (能量) both have two characters, but fat will be listed in grams while energy

in kJ. Calories can be deduced from the latter with a simple converter tool (free on app stores). Aim for low percentages here, especially since the sauce or broth accompanying your noodles may be respectively high in fat and/or sodium.

Higher protein (蛋白质) values are a big plus, and absolutely exist.

Our supermarket choice is noodles made from buckwheat (荞麦面), which is not actually wheat or related to it. The dark noodles, famous in Japanese cuisine, are widely available and cost less than RMB 10 per pack.

Noodles made entirely from buckwheat are additionally a great source of fibre and protein (around 11g per 100g serving) as well as vitamins and minerals.

Tip 2: Method Matters Cutting to the chase, the worst noodle damage you can do is late night, fried street noodles. Worse than the 800 – 1000 empty calories you consume, the ample oil used to cook the noodles is usually poor quality and reused, coating an already greasy dish with fat and robbing any vegetables of their nutritional value. Mixing other empty calories (ie. booze) while indulging will guarantee weight gain, unless you feel well enough to spend half of the following day exercising.

But don’t be put off – you don’t have to swear off fried noodles just because you care about your health. Enjoy occasionally on an exercise day, knowing the damage, or make your own dish at home using healthier ingredients and oil, which is not so harmful to your health, such as coconut.

Tip 3: Talk To Your Noodle Vendor So are you doomed if you love noodles but don’t cook? Not at all. Just talk to your noodle vendor or get a Chinese-speaking friend to do so for you. Try to find raw noodle vendors (such as Shaanxi-style liangpi凉皮 stalls) to avoid unhealthy, cooking oil entirely.

Some friendly noodle stands we know are even willing to use half the normal portion of noodles and fill up the rest of the bowl with the raw cucumber usually used as a topping, for an extra RMB 2 of course! The dish comes with bean sprouts and nothing but a peanutbased sauce mixed with soy sauce and chillies. The noodles are made from rice flour (米 粉), meaning they are gluten free. Not bad for an RMB 8 emergency lunch.

Remember, just because noodles can be extremely unhealthy doesn’t mean you have to be. Familiarise yourself with different noodles, stay away from fried dishes and exercise a little portion control (ie. by adding veggies) to ensure you can feed your inner noodle lover without sacrificing your figure.

Runway Trends For Real Life Casey Hall

Last month saw the Spring/Summer 2015 shows take over runways in fashion capitals New York, London, Milan and Paris. There were plenty of wacky beauty looks showing up on the runway, as well as a select few we’ll be working into our real life repertoire.

Messy Braids

Another fortuitous trend, in that for most of us, a self-made fishtail braid ends up looking rather messy whether we intend it to or not. Embrace the imperfection for a lowmaintenance goddess look. If you don’t know where to start with the fishtail braid, check out www. thebeautydepartment.com for a helpful, step-by-step tutorial. The messy fishtail also looks great worn on the side (which makes it easier if you are DIY-ing it).

Low Bun

Ballerina-style buns perched on top of the head have been all the rage for the past few years, but it’s nice to mix it up with a messy low bun. Don’t worry about a few layers escaping and framing the face; this look is about being soft and effortless. The red lip certainly ups the glamour quotient, but even a slick of gloss will be enough to keep this look fresh and appealing.

Purple Eye Shadow As a long-time fan of mixing up a neutral eye shadow palette with the occasional vibrant burst of purple, we were rather excited to see shades of the colour coating lids at both Derek Lam and Vera Wang. This look works particularly well for those with dark eyes, though it’s best not to overdo it, lest your eye area look more accented by violence than violet.

Simple Nail Art

This simple geometric look will be a cinch for your friendly local nail art technician, but it’s also easy to DIY if you are one of the few Shanghai expats who doesn’t go out to get their nails done. We love the light background colour with metallic accent. Although there are a number of specialised nail art pens on the market now, our go-to is still the good old Sharpie pen. Particularly for gold, as the Sharpie gold looks really shiny on nails, unlike many of its more expensive competitors. It glides over the top of dry nail polish or gel nails smoothly and can be removed with rubbing alcohol before you add the top coat, in case you make a boo boo.

AUTO TALK

Budget Buy – Baojun 610 Mark Andrews

B

ack at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show, the big story was how the joint ventures were creating China-only brands. Many, such as Nissan’s Venucia showed bold concepts, but General Motor’s Baojun went a step further and displayed an actual production car. The Baojun 630 saloon turned out to be the only new brand with a purpose built car – the others just rebadged old models. Such cars were meant to steal sales away from Chinese brands in lower tier cities by way of recycling proven older tech.

Three years on, Baojun is the most successful of the China-only brands. GM, whose technology underpins the cars, has expanded the range to include the recently launched 610 and 730.

We drove the top of the range 610 Luxury that is essentially a hatchback version of the original 630.

Externally, it is a smart looking, well put together car.

Obviously, given the budget price, the interior uses cheaper harder plastics. However, money has been spent wisely on technology where it counts. Our top of the range Luxury model came fitted with the optional RMB 4000 touch screen infotainment system. More impressive are the instruments; not only do they have blue backlighting, but they also show the average fuel economy and estimated range on the remaining fuel plus the tyre pressure – these are all features that are often GM Corp

GM Corp

missing on far more expensive vehicles. Furthermore, the air conditioning allows you to set a target temperature.

In the rear, both, headroom and legroom are adequate but it is not particularly spacious. While there are ISOFIX points for child seats, the middle passenger unfortunately only gets a lap restraint. This is all the more disappointing as in the 630 there is a full seat belt. There is a reasonable amount of space in the boot and, of course, this can be increased by folding down the seats.

Currently, the car is only available with a 1.5 litre engine and a choice of five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. It is possible that the 610 may later get the 1.8 litre, which is available in its 630 sibling.

On a mixture of city roads and gaojia, the engine, with automatic gearbox, seems more than adequate with quite a sprightly performance. This is surprising as on paper the figures tell a different story with a sluggish 0km – 100km/h of 13.1 seconds. The six-speed automatic provides quick changes and can be used in a manual mode. However, it is not a dual clutch type system, and this leads to a large drop

in fuel economy over the five-speed manual.

Fuel economy is one area in which the Baojun scores very badly. Our model’s trip computer showed a historic average of 11.5l/100km – well above the advertised level of 7.0. Obviously, this is dependent on various factors such as driving style, traffic and speed, but nonetheless is a terrible figure for such a small car.

Steering is overly light and gives a vague feel when driving, but the car does benefit from good all-round visibility. While the ride is relatively soft, the car is not good at soaking up bumps on the road and our test model seemed to rattle. Road holding, while far from class leading, is more than adequate, especially when you consider the price.

With prices ranging from RMB 65800 to RMB 85800, it is an extremely good buy. Yes, it has shortcomings, but the build quality is far better than many of the Chinese brand competitors, and it is quite fun to drive. However, factor in the high fuel consumption and you might have been better off stumping up for a more frugal car.

MONEY TALK

How To Choose A Financial Advisor When it comes to our money, how well our investments perform is not under our control, but whom we choose to manage our money is. For that reason, you’ll want to search and evaluate all candidates carefully. I have put together some key questions you should ask a potential financial advisor.

How do you bill for your services, and how much do you charge?

I believe this is the most important question when interviewing an advisor as it can make a huge difference in your long-term returns. You typically want to avoid commission-based advisers. Advisers who work on commission have incentives to push a certain life insurance packages or mutual funds if they’re getting a cut of that revenue. More than likely, these products will not be the best options for your savings. If you do meet a commissionbased advisor, ask them how much they are earning on the product they are offering.

Ideally, get it in writing.

Fee based advisors are typically your best option. Fee based advisors either charge a flat fee or an annual fee based on a percentage of your assets under management. They are much more inclined to provide you good advice, as their future earnings are closely tied to the success of your investment account.

Also, besides the fees that are paid to the advisor, make sure you understand all of the other costs associated with the investment, such as platform, transaction and custodian fees. If all fees exceed one to one-and-a-half per cent per annum, then you are likely paying too much.

Does the investment lock up any part of my savings?

Unfortunately, many investors ask this question after the fact and they find themselves stuck in an investment for up to 25 years. There is absolutely no reason as to why you should invest in an account that locks up your money, unless it is a government sponsored retirement account such as an IRA. An investment that has a lock-in has very little incentive to make a return on your money, as they know you are not going anywhere.

In our opinion, lack of liquidity is one of the biggest problems with some of the most widely sold investment products for expatriates in China. By ‘liquidity’, we mean the ability to get cash when you want. Of course, you’ll be told that this lack of liquidity is “for your own long term benefit”.

What is your educational background, credentials or other certifications do you have?

It is important that your advisor knows what they are talking about, so I would confirm the educational background and whether the advisor has CFP (Certified Financial Planner) and CFA (Certified Financial Analyst) certificates. As it is not

uncommon for advisors to make up their educational background, I’d ask for some proof that they have the education they are claiming.

What is your investment approach?

You should ask the advisor about his or her investment philosophy. Does the advisor invest in low-cost ETFs, do they prefer to use managed funds, passive investments or do they invest in individual stocks and bonds? Beware of advisors who boast they consistently beat the market. There aren’t a lot of people like Warren Buffet. If you have an initial meeting with an adviser and you hear predictions of market-beating performance, it may be a warning. No one can safely make such guarantees, and anyone who’s trying may be taking risks that you don’t want to take. My personal belief is that advisors should concentrate on an indexing approach by using ultra cost efficient ETFs offered by such companies such as Vanguard, Ishares and SPDR. What is your performance record?

You should ask any potential advisor how their portfolios have performed over the last several years and ideally ask for some kind of proof. Proof may be in the way of an audited statement or, if this is not available,

Bill Longstreet a couple of client references could provide some insight into the advisor’s performance.

How much contact do you have with your clients?

Some advisors have an initial allocation meeting and then you see them once a year, others might have quarterly overviews, while others would offer some contact once a month. How often you meet your advisor may depend on their investment strategy. If you are following a more passive investment strategy, a yearly check up is all you may need.

Choosing the right financial adviser is an important decision. Spend some time researching and comparing a number of advisers. This will improve your chances of finding the right one for you.

Ye Hongxing’s Fantasy Land Casey Hall

A riot of colours and layers of pop culture permeate Ye Hongxing’s large-scale canvases in a new solo exhibition, “The Fantasy Factory”.

B

eijing-based artist, Ye Hongxing, has been described as a modern day, Chinese, female Andy Warhol, with her irreverent visual take on the very complex issues facing the world (and in particular her own homeland) today.

Working in the unusual medium of stickers on canvas, Ye’s works feature an unmistakable visual style, with primary colours and multi-layered images almost overwhelming to the eyes.

“Stickers are a very interesting material object because they are popular, fashionable and so forth, and the combination of all of these characteristics creates a multiplicity and multi-faced nature to them. In the beginning, I chose stickers to experiment with, but after several times using the medium, I have found that they truly give more dimensions to my work in both visual aesthetic and meaning”, Ye explained.

The use of a cheap consumer good as a medium could be read as a comment on the throwaway nature of China’s modern consumer culture – or perhaps the layers of

stickers simply allow for more nuanced readings of her layered compositions.

“Multi-layering is an important feature in my works – you could say it is kind of my style. This multiple layering adds so much through the relationships between them that it causes each element to be multi-fold”, the artist said.

“This undoubtedly increases the capacity of the works’ connotations, and offers greater possibility for viewers to interpret at different levels and experience multiple experiences”.

Looking at Ye’s works can be overwhelming, a sensory sensation, with modern motifs alongside traditional Chinese figures.

A mix of fairy-tale landscapes populated with fashionistas, gas masks, high-heeled shoes, tigers and soldiers on motorbikes, the seemingly unrelated and often-times fatuous subject matter could easily be taken as a comment on modern China’s embrace of a consumerist lifestyle to the detriment of meaningful culture.

The primary colours and pop-culture themes may give the impression that Ye’s work lacks gravitas, but there is also an underlying and menacing spectre of environmental pollution and the fading of traditional culture apparent in some of the figures. Her world, as with the one we inhabit, is anything but black and white.

The artist herself is careful to stay above the fray when it comes to dissecting the meaning of her works, though Ye is happy for viewers to take away what they will from her multi-faceted canvases.

“I never think about how to lead people to read my works.

I let people understand them in their own way. However, my works provide a wide range of possibilities for viewers to explore in sensual, visual and rational depth”, she said.

Welcome to the surreal world of Ye Hongxing and contemporary China – it certainly is the stuff of fantasy.

Peace And Quiet In Khanom Casey Hall

Family Villa Outside

but there is still e, ev li be to rd ha be It may beach paradise to a relatively untouched be found in Thailand.

A

world away from the crowds of Phuket or Samui (though quite geographically close to the latter) is Khanom – home to fishing boats, pink dolphins and calm, virtually uninhabited beaches.

The vibe of this place runs counter to the overtly commoditised Thai holiday experience of sprawling resorts and full moon parties, which is exactly what we were looking for in a quick getaway from Shanghai.

In terms of things to do, your options are limited. This is exactly the kind of place to get away from it all, kick back, read some books and swim in the bath-warm waters of the Gulf of Thailand.

Among the activities on offer, a boat trip to see the area’s rare species of pink dolphin is a truly special experience.

The Indo-Pacific Humpback species of dolphin is born grey, but gradually turns pink as it advances in age.

In Khanom, fishing is still the main industry and fishermen have been feeding these dolphins their smallest catch off the side of boats for generations (mainly to prevent the dolphins trying to eat fish from the nets and becoming entangled).

Given their long history with friendly people who feed them, a pink dolphin sighting is quite likely, as the water-borne mammals sidle up to the sides of boats looking for an easy meal.

18 TalkMagazine

October14

If you want to do more than get a glimpse though, you had better be quick with that camera, as flashes of pink fin above the water disappear as quickly as they surface.

These dolphins may be spectacular to look at, but they are not exactly Instagramfriendly.

If you’re feeling even more energetic, a mountain-biking trip through the ancient evergreen forests, or a chance to stretch your legs by hiking to some of the local area’s waterfalls and caves are also options.

A visit to the local market (held every Monday and Wednesday) offers a glimpse into small town life in Thailand.

Foreign tourists are still something of a curiosity in this part of the country, which is popular mainly as a domestic tourism destination, and foreign visitors can expect to attract (friendly) attention from local people as they make their way around town.

These are all options in and around Khanom, though doing nothing at all is a perfectly acceptable alternative, with many visitors happy to content themselves with the beaches, the quiet and the stoic company of palm trees.

Atte Savisalo and Kati Hakkinen were certainly enamoured with the locale when they first saw it on a backpacking trip six years ago. So much so, they bought a plot of land and have transformed it into a boutique hotel and wellness centre, perched as close to the waters of the idyllic Nadan Beach as local law allows.

class, which helps youngsters burn off any excess holiday energy in a fun environment.

Savisalo and Hakkinen – themselves parents to two young children who can often be seen living a rather sublime childhood around the resort – have set out to make Aava a family-friendly destination, and the staff seem to take extra special care in attending to their youngest guests.

The spa menu even has treatments designed especially for kids, which is not only thoughtful, but also rather adorable.

Aava Resort & Spa has only 28 rooms, including standalone poolside villas with personal access to the central swimming pool from an outside deck.

The whole resort is imbued with a fresh, Scandinavian-style minimalism in its design – which isn’t a huge surprise given Savisalo and Hakkinen’s Finnish background.

If you are looking for a holiday with a wellness, as well as beach focus, Aava offers a weekly program of classes, including tai chi, yoga, meditation and Thai kick-boxing, led by wellness coordinator and all around nice guy, Khun Chack, in a breezy outdoor studio with water views – or on the beach itself.

Chack makes it easy to get over any initial self-consciousness about your ability or fitness level with his manner, which quickly puts his students at ease, as he cleverly adjusts each class to cater to the needs of the people in it.

A popular addition to the wellness schedule has been the kids’ Thai boxing

There are a large number of resorts in Thailand dedicated to weight loss and fasting, but the Aava attitude to wellness is a very low-key, balanced one. This is rather lucky, because if you were fasting or on a strict diet, you might have to miss out on the wonderful meals being churned out by the Aalto Restaurant.

Given the lack of international restaurant options in Khanom, the quality on offer at Aalto is particularly welcome for international travellers.

Hot Deal Wellbeing Escapes, a leading wellness travel company, is currently offering an exclusive “Discover & Unwind” package at Aava Resort & Spa.

severed gazelle’s foot greets us as we step off the plane, along with our guide for the next five days: Richard Chacha. A driver for Sanctuary Retreats, Richard is a short, stocky member of the Bantu tribe, with a rich voice that goes husky like a water buffalo whisperer when wildlife step into his view. Something of a Serengeti savant, Richard was the president of his class at the College of African Wildlife Management and knows the other guides and trackers – former classmates – as well as the instinctive path of the wildebeest.

His easy air of authority and hushed respect the other guides show him is a boon for us, as guide camaraderie in the park comes in the form of whispered suggestions over the radio and shouted tips from passing land cruisers: “A pride of lions is stalking a Thompson’s gazelle just a couple kilometres to the north”. “A herd of elephants is on its way through the trees just east”.

As soon as we were situated in our khaki SUV, a crackle comes over the CB radio and Richard floors it, directed in Swahili to some destination unknown to us. Over the roar of the engine and the bouncing shocks, he shouts back to us, “This is something you see on Animal Planet or National Geographic”, his low

voice reaching an octave higher as his excitement grows. “Something you will never forget”.

We slow to a crawl as we reach the Mara River, where a crush of wildebeests several hundred deep prance on the edge of its banks, waiting for the signal to stampede across the water. But a rogue Land Cruiser guns it up to the embankment, hoping for a front row seat of the river crossing that is nature’s way of culling the wildebeest population. A single misstep here means they will be fodder for the waiting crocodiles or trampled by their compatriots and drowned.

The unnatural glimmer off the car’s windshield and mechanised growl of its motor frighten them back, and they set off down the river to find a crossing free from human observation.

Ngorongoro Crater

“Hakuna matata”, Richard says, without a trace of irony in his voice as he, like Timon and Pumba before him, explain that’s Swahili for no worries.

We have four more days to catch the wildebeests in their dangerous effort to literally find greener pastures. Right now, there’s plenty more to see, like The Big Five - elephants, lions, cape buffalo, leopards and rhinos - so named because they are the five most difficult animals to hunt on foot. Sometimes called the Fatal Five, European hunters in the 1800s stalked these big game with muzzleloading guns that were only able to fire a single shot before the wounded animals could turn the tables and advance, often landing their own death blow before anyone could reload.

Richard leads our jeep past acacia trees stripped of their bark, some ripped straight out of the ground. A memory of elephants – just one of the safari collective noun Richard shares - had just been by, he says, explaining that the giant mammals are natural ecologists of the savannah, pruning trees with their prehensile trucks and fertilising the ground with their dung. Their ivory tusks, prized into the millions by poachers, are more than just decoration or weapons; elephants use them to bore into the ground as their innate senses lead them to high water tables during dry spells. A couple hours later, we stumble upon a herd – possibly the same one that levelled the oasis – with three babies bathing in a river, just upstream from a bloat of hippos.

After filling our memory cards with shots of a lone pregnant giraffe chewing

her cud as she stared blankly at our idling car, ostriches bobbing up and down in the tall grass and the backsides of gazelles as they hightailed from our scent, we head back to our tent… if one can call a canvas structure that when it’s equipped with hot showers, flush toilets and a personal butler. As the sun goes down over our sundowners, zebras and wildebeest traipse by, just a hundred metres away from the Sanctuary Retreats’ Serengeti Migration Camp. We watch the peripatetic animal kingdom walk by until a thunderstorm that lights up the darkening savannah forces us under the cover of canvas.

W

ith several animals already checked off our list of must-sees, we tell Richard that we have a single-minded goal for day two: lions.

Within the hour, he succeeds, leading us to an entire pride sunning themselves on rocks, bellies full from a rewarding night of hunting. We see nearly 20 by day’s end, including one unperturbed young male who leapt off his rock and sauntered past our Land Cruiser, almost brushing against it with his whiskers as if to mark it, like an overgrown curious housecat.

Under the shade of a fever tree, we eat a picnic lunch within eyeshot of the banks of the Mara. Wildebeests have been queuing for hours, another guide relays as Richard sets up a white tablecloth meal. But they keep tiptoeing to the edge and scampering back, their fear justified by the column of vultures circling upriver. After lunch, there’s still no change, and Richard suggests we follow the stench of death instead of waiting for the indecisive wildebeest to make a move. His advice, as always, proves sage, leading us to a graveyard for the victims of the river crossings. Last night’s storm created a surge, washing wildebeest carcasses downriver and up onto the rocks of the shallow rapids where the river twists.

Scavengers pick apart the waterlogged carrion, and a fat, sated crocodile sits digesting on the sandy shore,

unperturbed Mobile Camping by his snacking neighbours. Hippos wallow in the shallows upstream, and in the clearing across the river, a family of giraffes lumber out from behind the trees, casually surveying the death and destruction as they walk by.

On our last day in the Serengeti, we ride past two trucks that advise us to hurry back to the river for an imminent wildebeest crossing. The congregation’s ranks had swollen to several thousand, and we are running out of time. It’s nearly 4:30pm and safari cars have to be out of the park by 6pm and most camps are at least an hour’s drive from the banks of the Mara. But word spread quickly around the park about the impending sight, and too many trucks arrived with their windshields and longlens camera glinting in the setting sun.

After several false starts, the wildebeest shied away from the threat of man, and

we never did see them plunge into the water. But that’s just one more good reason to return to the Mara – and now National Geographic’s documentaries will hold special wonder.

WHERE TO STAY Sanctuary Retreats

Bush Breakfast

After indulging in amenities like en-suite bathrooms, gourmet meals and plush king-sized beds, you’ll be shocked to learn that Sanctuary Retreats’ Serengeti Migration Camp is a mobile one, packed up and moved hundreds of miles at a time to follow the wildebeests and make sure their pampered guests are given a year-round pass to the greatest spectacle on earth. Set up smack dab in the middle of the wildebeests’ path, our camp was visited under cover of darkness by a herd of the wild cattle; whose grass-munching and lowing become our African lullaby.

warriors. Tall and slender, the pastoral walkers herd their goats and cattle up and over the 600 foot rim of the crater.

The Ngorongoro caldera formed millions of years ago when a volcanic eruption caused the land to collapse, and is now an entire ecosystem to itself. Just 22 kilometres across, the bowl covers a plateau, marshes, soda seas and a grasslands, and is home to 25000 large animals, including flamingos, baboons, cape buffalo and the elusive black rhino, as well as the densest known population of lions.

The Serengeti Migration Camp is only one of seven owned by Sanctuary Retreats in greater Tanzania, with the Ngorongoro Crater Camp a nine-hour drive through the desiccated grasslands of the dry season in central and southern Serengeti. Once outside the reserve, the road is lined with gnarled gates and loaf-shaped kraals, the communal homes of the semi-nomadic Maasai

Sanctuary’s Crater Camp is located on the lip of the crater, and game drives both along the rim and into the crater reveal an abridged version of a safari, packing in the whole wildlife spectrum into a day or two, an excellent option to see everything quickly for those who have limited time on a safari.

Welcome Back To Anther School Year

Summer has flown by and it is the time of year that you love and loath in equal measures - the kids are going back to school. It always seems as if there are new buzzwords popping up in the educational field making it hard to keep track of the new teaching methods and efficiently track your children’s progress. This month, we have questioned experienced international teachers to find out what important educational movements we should be following.

Neuroscience Neuroscience is the study and science behind the brain and from the research that has been done, it has been proven that if kids have a “growth mindset” as opposed to a “fixed mindset” they will do a lot better as they know they are in charge of their own learning and can do something towards making themselves ‘smarter’ with the knowledge about the plasticity of the brain. They learn that they can improve their own abilities by giving their brains a chance to make more connections between their neurons.

What is neuroscience and how can it be of help in everyday learning and teaching?

Simply put, neuroscience is the study of how the brain functions. When teachers are aware of some basic neuroscience, it makes teaching and learning more effective. The most important fact is the knowledge about the plasticity of the brain because teachers view their students in a different light and notice things about how their students learn and behave that they wouldn’t necessarily have done beforehand. For example, knowing about executive functions and the fact that the frontal lobe is in charge of that

can help students target controlling their behaviour. The frontal lobe can be compared to an elephant. An elephant can be controlled, but you need a good rider to keep it in control. Younger children, when taught about the frontal lobe, can imagine their rider, give him or her a name and tell the rider to stay in control of their elephant. If a child is beginning to misbehave, all that needs to be said is ‘rider’.

Instant self-control.

How can neuroscience be incorporated into everyday learning and teaching?

It could be good to start off the year with a few neuroscience sessions, which include facts about neurons and how they connect, how you can grow more and more connections if you put lots of effort into learning and practice lots to keep the neurons firing, learning about the reptilian brain and how it is there to help us survive so we need to keep it ‘happy’ (they learn how to do so) otherwise it becomes very ‘angry’ and we go into ‘fight or flight’ mode. Learning about how the memory works and how we can improve our memory is also useful – lots of movement and acting out or dancing about facts they should remember, works very effectively. These are only a few examples. Once they know these things, they can be referred to at any time afterwards. The students will understand more and more about how to help themselves to learn and behave more effectively, and in these days of instant gratification and stress in our lives, this is very useful for general wellbeing as well as success in learning.

How effective has the use of neuroscience in the classroom been?

Research done by Carol Dweck in the USA has shown that there is a significant difference between the success of those students who know about the plasticity of the brain compared to those who haven’t, even though they may have been given discrete lessons on ‘learning to learn’. It gives the students the reasons for why they feel the way they do and what they can do to help themselves. They take charge of, and are more responsible for, their learning. As part of a teacher’s everyday tools of the trade, neuroscience is invaluable.

Where can we find more information?

There is lots of information on the Internet, but reading about Carol Dweck’s research will give everyone a good background into why it makes sense to teach students about having a ‘growth mindset’ as opposed to a ‘fixed mindset’. When parents know about it too, that’s even better because their attitudes to learning will also change.

Building Learning Power Building Leaning Power aims to help children become better learners both in school and in life by cultivating habits and attitudes that will enable them to face situations that they are not familiar with calmly, confidently and creatively. As a result, students who are more confident in their own learning ability learn faster and learn better. They concentrate more, think harder and find learning more enjoyable.

Why is BLP important and how does it differ to traditional teaching methods?

For so many years now, there has been one initiative after another introduced into schools, many of which just have not worked. ‘Learning to learn’ is one such initiative. Research has shown that if students are taught these skills in isolation, as a set of discrete lessons, the students do not transfer the skills they have been taught into other classes or in their lives outside school. What Building Learning Power does is include the HOW of learning along with the WHAT of learning – they aren’t separate. BLP aims to form habits through the ‘4Rs’ – Resilience, Resourcefulness, Reciprocity and Reflectiveness. Each of the Rs is then broken down into a few ‘learning muscles’ (17 in all) such as collaboration, noticing, questioning, perseverance and meta-learning, all of which are introduced slowly to the students, as part of their lessons. The WHAT of the lesson might be learning how to write a set of instructions. The HOW of the lesson might be ‘distilling’ (one of the learning muscles) information that they have gleaned from their previous research. They will be shown how to do this on many occasions in many different types of lessons

throughout the school, and with all teachers, as well as at home, as the parents will have been informed about what learning muscle is being targeted. Eventually, these learning capacities become habits, allowing the students to become extremely effective learners and capable of taking on the needs of the 21st century workplace. This cannot be said for far too many students these days because too many education systems are not taking on board the fact that life is so much more complex now, and too many students just cannot cope. BLP ensures that they are ready for the tests of life rather than a life of tests.

How can we instil confidence into students in school and at home?

BLP helps do exactly this as students learn how to become resilient, and because they have learned how to think effectively, they have the confidence to try everything in a mature way.

Why are students not currently equipped for lifelong learning?

Life is so much more complicated now than it was when students’ parents and grandparents were at school. Because of all the choices, constant bombardment of advertisers, the speed at which technology has developed and the slowness on our brains’ part in catching up with all of that, leaves all of us slightly stressed – some more so than others. Education, in general, does not equip our young people to cope with the demands of all the changes around us. Too many education systems are geared more towards 19th and 20th century workforce needs, which were not as demanding as today’s needs. There is still far too much spoon feeding and scaffolding in today’s classrooms and homes, which does not allow for the type of thinking necessary for today’s needs and leaves many university students seeking counselling as they do not cope when all that scaffolding isn’t available.

BLP isn’t a scheme so much as a habit-forming way of life in schools, where it is used to enable students to become lifelong learners much more readily than those who haven’t had the opportunity to learn in this way. In BLP classrooms, it is common to see students experiencing the joy of being absorbed in learning.

Dulwich Talk

We take a closer look into the goings-on at Dulwich College Shanghai

The Vienna Tour 2014

A

nother fantastic Vienna Tour was completed during the summer holidays.

This year, DCS took a group of approximately 40 students and parents from three Dulwich Colleges; Shanghai, Beijing and Suzhou, on the trip.

The first four days of the tour were spent with the Vienna Boys Choir in their school. It was very exciting and an absolute privilege to work with them and their teachers. The look on the students’ faces when the Vienna Boys began to sing was amazing. I am not sure they could believe that boys could make such a beautiful sound.

Dulwich College students collaborated very well and performed admirably with the Vienna Boys in their first concert together. This was followed by an exchange of gifts between the Vienna Boys Choir and our students and concluded with some lovely words about our musical relationship from Gerald Wirth, the Director of the Vienna Boys Choir.

In between practices, the group found time to acquaint themselves with Vienna visiting Eisenstad and touring Estherhazy Palace, which houses the world famous Haydn Concert Hall and Bergkirche with the mausoleum of Joseph Haydn.

Following our visit to the mausoleum, we were taken to lunch at a typical Austrian restaurant, which came complete with a gypsy Dulcimer performance. We were all fascinated at the similarities between the Dulcimer and the Chinese Yangqin; a great example of the history of the Silk Road.

Afterwards, we took a boat trip on Austria’s largest lake, at the end of which we were met by horse and cart, which proceeded to take us on a peaceful journey through farms and vineyards.

After four days, it was time to leave Vienna and head for the beautiful 17th Century Imperial Summer Palace of the former Austrian monarchy. We were given a guided tour, delivered from a child’s perspective of Baroque times and our students got to dress up in Baroque costumes.

We then moved to the foothills of the Austrian Alps, to the very beautiful Naturhotel Steinscharlerhof in Pielachtal.

There we spent the week working on many new choral pieces, in various languages, and participated in composition and conducting workshops.

Our productive rehearsals were punctuated with many different activities such as boat building, t-shirt making, instrument making, sports and playing in the beautiful garden.

On one occasion, we took a walk to Mr Wirth’s house for a campfire with marshmallow toasting; a highlight for everyone. All involved were engrossed in the daily ritual of rehearsing, composing and vocal lessons with the Vienna Boys Choir teachers, activities and of course Austrian hospitality.

On Wednesday of the second week, we went for a hike through the hills. Although, this was no ordinary hike. At the end of the journey we arrived at a very small Baroque chapel, and here we performed our solos - the small group pieces we had been preparing with Vienna Boys Choir teachers and some pieces we had prepared as a colleges choir.

A small group of the more advanced choristers travelled into Vienna for the rehearsals for the concert at St. Stephen’s Cathedral while the larger group continued to put the finishing touches to their compositions.

On our final day, we travelled to Vienna and spent the afternoon at the Augarten Palais Vienna Boys School. Our evening concert celebrated the completion of our composition and we sang a few of the pieces. One very special performance was that of Shenandoah by Ms Bonner from Dulwich College Beijing, which was given to celebrate 4th July.

It was an honour to hear all the compositions at this concert. Every group demonstrated a real willingness to contribute their original musical ideas to the group, and at the end of the tour we could ‘hear’ the personalities of each musician within the groups.

The following morning, we met after breakfast to do some sightseeing around Vienna. We visited the wonderful House of Music museum, which is filled with many fine exhibits of composers, original musical scores and an array of examples of the physics of sound. The highlight of this visit was being able to conduct the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra at the end.

Our final tour destination for the day was the former House of W. A. Mozart.

Later that day, the grand finale of the Vienna Tour arrived for the small group of students who had been working all year preparing ‘Missa’ in C by Mozart and ‘Missa Creole’ by Ramirez. It was time to preform with a choir of approximately one hundred and the Viennese Orchestra. The concert was superb and our students performed admirably despite being the only children in the concert.

We are extremely fortunate to have such a valuable relationship with Mr Gerald Wirth and the Vienna Boys Choir and our thanks goes to them for their outstanding hospitality.

The Dulwich Vienna Tour is certainly unique and we are all looking forward to the 10th Anniversary tour next year.

Dulwich College Shanghai Shines In 2014 World Scholar’s Cup

T

he World Scholar’s Cup (WSC) is a global competition consisting of four main events: collaborative writing, team debating, Scholar’s Challenge and the Scholar’s Bowl. The format is in three stages with winning teams from each round progressing into the next round. There is the regional round, followed by a global round and a final champions round. This year, the global round was held in Singapore and almost 2400 students participated – the highest attendance since the competition’s inception. DCS has been a regular participant and this summer our contingent was 12 members strong, split into four teams.

This year’s theme was the “World Within” and the six subjects explored were fascinating and ranged from the Science of Decision-Making to the History of Espionage. Other than the four competitive events, there were social events too, such as the Scavenger Hunt in Sentosa, a disco in Zouk, a night safari and the talent shows. The World Scholar’s Cup is more than just a competition; it’s the celebration of learning.

The DCS team performed well in their individual and collective efforts. Apart from the medals we received, we also gained experience, friendships and the selfconfidence to face challenges with humility and inner strength.

In terms of medals and trophies, DCS exceeded our success last year, with both first place and second place overall being won by DCS teams. Tara Parekh, Claudia Meng and Priyanka Iyer (all Y9, Team 124) emerged the overall winners of the competition in the junior division, while Angela Lin, Romain Speciel and Yifeng Dong earned second place. In addition,

Priyanka, Tara and Claudia were also first place winners in the debate.

Tara was also placed fourth as an individual competitor!

Additionally, in the junior division, Angela, Romain and Yifeng were third in the team debate, with Angela coming in third in the individual debate category and Yifeng coming in first overall. Furthermore, Ashley Wu, Victoria Gao and Stephanie Wong also received many individual and team awards. Haqshaarah Nair, Jay Xu and Titan Tsui also participated in the global round for the first time, gaining an invaluable experience.

The World Scholar’s Cup is not purely academic; it’s buckets of fun. Not only are there social events, you get free alpacas! Alpacas are the mascot for this competition and competitors receive a fluffy toy alpaca at each round. It’s a great experience that allows you to make friends and learn from others. Will it be challenging? Maybe… Will it be fun?

Absolutely! The World Scholar’s Cup is AWESOME.

Dulwich College Shanghai News Round-up Further Success At (I)GCSE For DCS students Following a set of excellent IB results, the publication of this year’s (I)GCSE results has provided further cause for celebration. As in previous years, there are a number of exceptional personal achievements.

With an A*/A percentage of 73.5% and 97% of all grades being C or higher, 50 of the 77 candidates recorded an average grade of greater than A. It is exciting to look forward to the future achievements at IB Diploma level of the class of 2016.

Of those 44 students attaining 8 A*s or more, Caitlin Ong and Connie Ko both received an A* in 10 subjects, while Samiksha Choudhury achieved an A* in all 11 of her exams, an amazing feat.

Dulwich College Singapore Opens With 884 Students Dulwich College in Singapore opened its doors this term to the first wave of 884 students, who have enrolled at the College. The start of the term has been staggered over five days to ensure a smooth and untroubled start for students and parents. With the opening of Singapore, there are now seven Colleges in the Dulwich College International network.

The teaching staff is predominately British and supported by qualified assistant teachers many of whom are bilingual in English and Chinese. Roughly a third of the teachers have come from within the Dulwich network of schools, including Dulwich London, Beijing, Seoul, Shanghai and Suzhou.

Dulwich College Shanghai students and parents were treated to a performance from an amazing young pianist.

Victor Lim is an upcoming, very gifted, pianist who is currently studying in one of Dulwich College’s partner Conservatoires; the Royal Northern College of Music. Being a Dulwich College London Alumni, Victor was keen to share his experience with other Dulwich College students.

On Monday, 1 September, Victor spent the day in the theatre taking master classes with the students and later put on the most outstanding performance playing classical pieces - Berg's, Piano Sonata Op.1 and Rachmaninov's, 13 Preludes Op.32. Victor started the evening playing Ravel, Ma Mere l'oye with Year 9 student, Ian Teh. October14 TalkMagazine

Concordia Talk

We take a closer look into the goings-on at Concordia International School Shanghai

Clearing the Haze: Empowering Students through Authentic Learning Opportunities

P

erhaps you will recall that in December of 2013 Shanghai’s air quality index (AQI) reached alarming levels, which had international schools around the city trying to find ways to keep the air on their campuses safe.

At my school, Concordia International School Shanghai, the administration immediately sprang into action to ensure student health. Within days, the school had formulated and begun implementing a plan, putting hermetic seals on doors and changing and upgrading air filters. More intensive structural changes were to come, with the school seeking a longterm solution by upgrading its fixed air filtration system to one designed to reduce the PM 2.5 to the safest levels possible.

In the midst of this “bad air scare”, the high school principal approached me to get my AP Environmental Science (APES) students involved in gathering and analysing meaningful data and educating our community about air quality. It was exciting to have the students undertake this research because it was a great opportunity for some authentic learning to occur.

The class’s foray into air quality safety got off to a prolific start, with Concordia providing the students handheld PM 2.5 monitors so they could start collecting the raw data.

Adding these new numbers to what the school had already been collecting three times a day in ten different locations around campus, students began analysing the large quantity of meaningful information they now had at their disposal.

Through this process of research and analysis, the students learned a great deal about air pollution and about what PM 2.5 actually means. They also learned how to clarify the confusion around the different reporting systems for the United States and China. Students waded through a number of sources to find their data and, in doing so, were able to develop a deeper understanding of this complex and relevant environmental issue.

In the midst of their research, the school completed installation of the new filtration system, which provided students with valuable before-and-after figures. Collating all of the data that had been gathered, they had to determine the type of analysis to perform on the data to show what improvement had occurred. Additionally, they had to determine how to effectively communicate their findings to the stakeholders at the school.

The high school students presented their findings to a captivated audience of parents and teachers at a high school parent coffee. The parents, and teachers, were impressed with how knowledgeable the students were on the topic and how effectively they communicated the difficult content. News of the student’s work spread.

One twelfth grade APES student reflected on the process, saying, “After learning about pollution and how it is measured, we found it necessary to raise the awareness of accurate pollution measurement to the Concordia community...

Our aim was to let the parents know the importance of using PM2.5 for pollution index, instead of AQI, and to inform them about the effectiveness of air filters that were currently installed around school. While preparing for the

We were glad to see that parents were enthusiastic about our presentation; they were taking notes and taking pictures of our slides… They were glad to see that the air filters were working effectively, and they were open to our idea of using PM2.5 value instead of AQI”.

When the elementary school principal later invited students to present the research to the elementary school parents as well, the reception was again extremely positive. Despite the amount of work required to provide solid analysis, students were engaged in the process and pleased with the empowerment that their work engendered. “At first I was a little daunted by all the work we had to do, regarding the collection of data and the organising of the information we were going to present”, commented one APES student (Grade 12). “I worked on analysing the data, and that was especially helpful because I felt like I was applying my skills to real-life situations that would actually benefit other people”.

As a teacher, it can be challenging to keep students engaged after they have completed their AP exams. However, the students in the AP Environmental Science class used the final weeks of the school year to refine their experimental design skills, while at the same time continuing their work on air quality.

Each group created a research question surrounding some aspect of air quality at the school, which could be measured using the indoor PM 2.5 monitoring device. They designed their experiments, collected data, drew conclusions and, finally, presented their findings to the Head of School, Assistant Head of School and CFO. Because the students chose questions that they were interested in and whose answers had a direct effect on their lives, they were engaged during the entire process.

These final projects were extremely successful and the students were excited to know the work that they did was valued by the administration.

While no one is a fan of the high AQI days in Shanghai, at least we know we can breathe easily at a school that cares about the safety of its community and encourages its faculty to look for creative and meaningful ways to broaden student knowledge and awareness, no matter how “hazy” the situation.

The Big Transition

What’s On At Concordia 7 October

Scott Anderson

A

s the last day of summer faded into the sunset, the anxious, trembling fingers of incoming freshmen clicked away on keyboards and phone screens— mine included!

That evening, we all chattered apprehensively about how nervous we were for high school to start. Would we get lost on the first day? Would we accidentally anger any fierce upperclassmen, known to the freshmen as the “Kings of the Jungle?” The hypothetical list of things that could go wrong was endless!

To my surprise and relief, the next morning I found myself comfortably manoeuvring through the high school maze. I had hilarious friends from all grades in each of my classes, and teachers that were understanding and kind. Since that first day, I have come to one conclusion; Concordia High School is NOT the intimidating jungle I expected it to be.

Even as I continue down my freshman path, I still reminisce about the simpler times in middle school. I miss the family-like environment of attending each class with my homeroom. I yearn for a lighter workload, something I definitely took for granted throughout my middle school career. Though I have a longing for these parts of middle school in my heart, I have fully welcomed and come to love my life as a high school student.

As a new high school student, I have one crucial goal: to be a balanced individual. If I try my best in class, play my hardest in sports, give my efforts to service work and still have time for friends, family and myself, I will have the most successful freshman year imaginable. Though I loved middle school, transitioning to high school unlocked a whole new world of opportunities for me, and signifies a major step in my personal journey towards achieving a successful future.

for our table, but the dense minced chicken balls – (RMB 29) also glazed in the same sweet sauce - were a close second with their meaty portions.

What: Sushi yakitori bar Where: 161 Anfu Lu, near Wulumuqi Lu. Tel: 6445 9931 Why: For smoking hot grilled dishes and affordable lunch sets Shanghai’s really excellent Japanese restaurants tend to do one thing well and focus on that: Think Sushi Oyama’s nigiri, Toriyasu’s yakitori or Ginza Bairin’s tonkatsu. Iza’s menu is comparatively slapdash - combining maki rolls and sashimi with yakimono and tempura. The broad swath it encompasses is sometimes successful, but occasionally overreaches.

Owned by the healthy food champions behind Organic Kitchen Shanghai, Iza also hopes to promote nutrition alongside flavour. Behind the blond wooden doors and shoji walls is a teensy dining room with a sushi counter buttressed by a grill station.

Each is manned by a chef who cooks or slices to order as the diners’ dishes roll across the counter. The deep-frying is done in a closet-sized kitchen off to the side.

Ordering from the grill side trumped both other cooking stations. A skewer of marbled pork belly (RMB 38) slathered in teriyaki sauce was the unanimous favourite

Our sushi assortment (RMB 68 for five, RMB 98 for seven or RMB 128 for 10) started off shaky with a crumbling foundation of rice, too loose to hold its form. Several of the nigiri pieces had a dollop of wasabi between the rice and the raw fish so big it made our eyes water, overwhelming the more delicate flavours of the maguro tuna (RMB 88 a la carte) and amberjack (RMB 68 a la carte). Slices of ark shell and surf clam (both RMB 58 a la carte) were abandoned after being found too rubbery to chew.

We happily returned to the cooked side of the counter where a basket of tempura (RMB 68) won us back over with al dente pumpkin wedges, sweet bell peppers and plump shrimp battered and deep-fried to a

delightful crispy chew. Bowls of miso soup (RMB 15) were thick with extra ingredients – slivers of daikon radish cut thin as paper and shiitake mushrooms added extra oomph to the unconventionally hearty Japanese menu staple.

With less than 10 counter seats total, and a few sparse tables lining the walls, there isn’t much room for kampai-ing your sake cups. But that just means the kitchen is so close you can literally reach out and touch your friendly chef as he wafts the smoke from the grill. Reasonably-priced lunch sets (RMB 48 – RMB 88) will ensure that this place fills up fast with office workers at The Centre, and the Anfu Lu expat set will likely flock to the dimly-lit space for dinner. Expect the second floor to open soon with sukiyaki and shabu shabu specialties.

Notting Hill British Cuisine What: Just what it says on the tin: stereotypically British cuisine Where: Ferguson Lane, Unit 105, 378 Wukang Lu, near Tai’an Lu. Tel: 6468 7777 Why: All-day breakfasts and other traditional English dishes on the cheap

spread conventional. Also on offer is a delightfully runny black truffle scrambled egg (RMB 78), topped with fried porcini mushrooms, adding earthiness to the already-musty splash of truffle paste.

Named after a central London neighbourhood (and a damned good 90s Hugh Grant/Julia Roberts romcom), Notting Hill could only get more British if waiters waved Union Jacks and sang “God Save the Queen” while serving pub classics. The over-the-top logo includes a crown and a crest, complete with more flourishes than the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, and the commercialisation of the “Keep Calm and Carry On” poster has reached its apex here. Originally a propaganda tool created by the British Government in preparation for the Blitz, no fewer than five oversized posters encourage diners to “Keep Calm” and “Eat Pancake First [stet]” then “Order Roast Beef ”.

Not all of its traditional British cuisine gets such high marks. A side of Yorkshire pudding (RMB 18) was forgettable in every way except price tag. The scone (RMB 20) was on the (American) biscuit side of crumbly, and topped with the exact same cream, maple syrup, walnuts and ice cream as the Belgian waffle (RMB 42) - and the pancake (RMB 42) for that matter, which we ordered well past

But if there’s a theme, there’s a way – and the menu stays very close to its intended geography, occasionally succeeding in recreating dishes worthy of the crown, like the fish & chips (RMB 98). One of the better iterations in town, lightly beerbattered cod filets are not dulled by the deep fryer, managing to retain the bright, clean flavours of the sea. A generous heap of thick-cut chips confirmed its triumph over its Shanghai competitors.

All-day breakfasts take up a full menu page, with the signature English (RMB 88) adding in a fruit cup and subtracting the black pudding, but keeping the remainder of the morning

10pm when the instructive poster had worked its subliminal magic on us. If you really need something sweet, go for one at most; all three taste redundant.

Despite the overt British branding, the kitchen doesn’t stick solely to the UK for culinary inspiration. Fall-off-thebone-tender “easy fried” chicken wings (RMB 46) came spiked with a zesty mild spice mix. We’re not

sure what makes the frying particularly easy, but the baker’s dozen of bonein wings came out of the kitchen fast – perhaps two minutes after we ordered – and disappeared just as quickly.

Brunch here will be an inevitable conclusion for those who consider British food their cup of tea, and it’s a nice alternative to the other already-packed restaurants in Ferguson Lane. Are they revolutionising the cuisine of the United Kingdom? Not even a little bit. But sometimes a substantial taste of home is all you need, and at prices like this, it’s practically cheap as chips.

South Korean who lived in Milan for over a decade.

Bottega might be the biggest opening last month, but it’s not the only one of note – or the only one from Austin Hu. The chef that must never sleep also teamed up with Spread the Bagel for a year-long pop-up in the YOLO Juice space (611 Nanchang Lu, near Xiangyang Lu). Madison is supplying the smoked meats (think turkey, brisket and bacon), and Strictly Cookies’ desserts and Lanna and MQ Coffee will be available to round out your meal with cookies and coffee.

Filling the space left behind by Food Central, Hunter Gatherer (308 Anfu Lu, near Wukang Lu) is a new grocer-cumrestaurant with a focus on healthy eats. Try their “Go Nuts” bar and take home some DIY almond butter.

et ready for giving that tastes good. On 26 October, some of the country’s top chefs, sommeliers and mixologists are joining forces at Madison (3 Fenyang Lu, near Huaihai Lu. Tel: 6437 0136) to create the Best of the Best Charity Dinner.

The participants include host Austin Hu, as well as Goga’s Brad Turley, Liquid Laundry’s Sean Jorgenson, Mercato’s Sandy Yoon, Union Trading Company’s Yao Lu and more culinary and cocktail stars from Beijing, Xiamen and Toronto.

The 10-dish tasting menu with full pairings will run at RMB 888, and all proceeds go to “Young Hospitality Professional Awards”, which sends one lucky recipient to Canada for a month of training.

they’re hoping to beat that to benefit charity partners Heart to Heart, Shanghai Young Bakers and Educating Girls of Rural China.

With all the hype surrounding the opening of Austin Hu & Sololatte’s Bottega (Xintiandi, Unit 2B, Bldg 22, 181 Taicang Lu, near Huangpi Nan Tomatito Lu. Tel: 6352 7791), it seemed a superhuman feat was necessary for the mozzarella bar to meet expectations - yet somehow they have exceeded them. We ate about half the menu on our first trip there, and had nothing but hits the whole nightlong. The table favourite was the umami-laden Coreana pizza. Topped with kimchi, pork neck bacon and stracciatella (that deliciously stretched mozz), the thin charred crust pizza was inspired by Ms Solo Latte, Kyeong Joo Lee, a native

6433 4261), brought to you by the guys who pour the oversized glasses of wine at La Vite. The bistro softly opened in late September, and will be fighting the good fight from the spot that killed off Mistral and Belga, with a full menu of organic Australian beef dishes, homemade pasta and olive oil dressed salads.

For seriously good (and cheap) bibimbap, try Shanghai Oppa (1166

Yan’an Xi Lu, near Panyu Lu) around the back of the Metrobank building. The Korean restaurant opened in late June and specialises in the mixed rice dish.

Also new is Mei-Xin Jade Garden (6/F, Grand Gateway Mall, 1 Hongqiao Lu, near Zhaojiabang Lu. Tel: 6443 8088), a welcome relief if you’ve tried to make a reservation at the Jing’an Shangri-La location (they were booked until February 2015 last we checked, making them the hardest reservation to get in town besides Ultraviolet). The oversized pineapple buns are a must-order, as is pretty much everything on the dim sum menu.

Setting up shop where Noodle Bull left a couple months ago is Cha Cha Wan (A Mansion, 1/F, 291 Fumin Lu, near Changle Lu), a Thai restaurant you may have heard of if you’ve spent some time on Hong Kong’s Hollywood Road. The site is still under construction, but the sign boldly states it's the first northern Thai restaurant in China.

After a hotel-wide redesign, URBN (183 Jiaozhou Lu, near Xinzha Lu. Tel: 5153 4600) is planning to open BeerGRDN in the first floor dining area and outdoor courtyard. Expect a bistro-style menu with Italian accents and American flavours, and they’re planning on pouring Shanghai’s most comprehensive beer list.

Already drawing in the crowds for dinner, Tomatito (2F, 99 Taixing Lu, near Wujiang lU. Tel: 6259 8671) has set their sights on the brunch set. Enticing the weekend crowds is their tapas platter for RMB 98 per person from 12:30-3:30.

And it’s not Shanghai without a restaurant closing, although Stubb’s demise doesn’t appear permanent. They’re getting rid of the original owners and looking for new investors who will be selling the famous barbecue sauce in grocery stores around town.

Jackie’s Beer Nest (Pudong) Eva Clifford

What: Exactly what it says on the tin Why: To enjoy a range of imported beer with friends Where: 714 Pucheng Lu, near Weifang Xi Lu. Tel: 138 1650 2260. Web: www.beernest.com

T

his is Xinjiang born, Shanghai raised Jackie Zhou’s second Beer Nest in Shanghai, after the Zhaozhou Lu Beer Nest, which was opened in 2007.

The venue is small and homely. Zhou will serve you himself because, as he says, “You don’t invite a friend to your house and get ayi to serve them”. It is located between high-rise Pudong compounds; where residents might not necessarily have the will or the opportunity to get to know each other. However, if you frequent this branch, you will get to know your neighbours very well as there are only two tables and a very warm, friendly atmosphere. After only one month, Jackie's Beer Nest has already built up its own community, just like the Puxi location.

Zhou’s passion for beer first started 11 years ago when the import company he works for was the first to import

foreign beers into China. After getting a taste for the much darker and stronger beers, the Chinese variety just didn’t do it for him anymore and he made it his mission to see more Chinese people enjoy the sweet nectar of imported beers.

After trying to sell imported beers to bars and clubs around the city, he realised that they weren’t willing to make the investment in this new type of alcohol without advertising material and promotional girls. So, Zhou took it upon himself to open a 12 square meter storefront on Zhaozhou Lu, to whet the appetite of the Shanghai market. He then took the opportunity to move to a bigger plot on the same street in 2009, which is where, incidentally, he met his wife, Mimi Zhao. Qinghai born, with a father who is the manager of a brewery, she has an excellent pallet, according to Zhou, and does the main bulk of the ordering for the two venues.

Many patrons suggested that they should open a new Jackie's Beer Nest on the Pudong side of town, and last month Zhou finally took the plunge and rented a space on Pucheng Lu, which he renovated by himself from a glass store front into a much more cosy and familiar, if you are a regular at the Puxi branch, pinewood cabin. Zhou now spends his time at the Pudong branch while Zhao holds the fort at Zhaozhou Lu.

Being on the Pudong side gives Zhou more time to work on his hobby, brewing his own beer in an ingeniously made home brewing device. Currently, the homebrew on tap is a Ten Hops Imperial IPA, but we have been promised that he has over 200 more recipes that he wants to test. Zhou made sure to tell us that he cleans the beer pipes everyday to ensure a high quality product, and kegs are always kept in the fridge, under 5 degress, to keep them fresh. He hopes to one day own a microbrewery, and be an expert brew master.

Currently, there are six draught beer on tap, including Zhou's IPA, Belhaven Stout, Abbot Ale, Old Speckled Hen, Greene King IPA and Jack Hammer IPA, but this number will be increased to 12 draught beers within the next few weeks. There is also a large variety of chilled bottle beer, which you won’t find at other places in Shanghai. A British pint size of draught beer starts from RMB 50, while bottles are between RMB 45 to RMB 60. There is no food at this venue, the focus is on beer, but Zhao says if you want food, you can order in a pizza. For him it's not about making a lot of money, it's about making a lot of friends.

Open 5pm to 11pm Sunday to Thursday and 5pm to 12am Friday and Saturday.

TALKING TO

Talking To:

Henk Meyknecht Henk Meyknecht is the General Manager of Grand Kempinski Hotel Shanghai.

We talked with him about the city, the hotel and his plans for the future.

Talk: Why did you decide to return to Shanghai?

Henk Meyknecht: I think there is something about working in Shanghai, which, when you’re in Shanghai you think “Gosh, why did I come back?” And when you are out of Shanghai you really miss it. Shanghai is developing into a really cosmopolitan city, one of the gateway cities to East Asia. It’s very competitive, which means only the best talent, the best concepts and the best standards will survive. Shanghai is really on a par, in terms of hospitality and the dining industry with cities like London, New York, Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong and Dubai. It is really one of the ten global cities now, where it is almost a privilege to be part of that development. So anybody who asks you, “Would you like to come back to Shanghai and work in our industry?”

Absolutely!

Talk: In such a highly competitive marketplace, what makes the Grand Kempinski standout amongst other luxury hotel brands?

HM: First of all, we are a full service, international, luxury hotel. We offer a whole compound of services from dining options and meeting rooms, spa facilities, health club, indoor swimming pool, car park facilities and an auditorium. I know other hotels also do that, but it is important to state again that we are a full service international hotel. Any of our clients who want to do corporate events, leisure events or incentive events - we can provide all the services very quickly. Location is very important. We are at the Wall St. of China. It's the financial district of China where all the mergers and acquisitions, all the deals are being made. We are surrounded by close to 5000 financial institutions, 30000 companies with a lot of purchasing power, and it is important that we connect ourselves with these companies and we offer our services.

Talk: What differentiates you from the other hotels in and around the bright lights of Liujiazui?

HM: At the end of the day, we are a European organisation, though we cater very much to multicultural events. We are flexible in our approach. When it comes

to product, we have one of the largest hotel rooms in Pudong. Our smallest room is 43 square metres, so size does matter. We have a Spanish restaurant in the hotel. We have extensive outlets. Product-wise, I think everybody offers almost the same kind of concept, but when it comes to flexibility and service, as well as our ability to react very quickly to the market, I think we are quite unique.

Talk: Kempinski is a heritage brand, why do you think this is such a popular concept around the world?

HM: I think the Kempinski brand stands for something much bigger than ourselves. It’s a brand that has been in the market since 1897, which means that we are the sixth or seventh generation hoteliers actually carrying this brand forward to the next generation. And we are trying to tell all our colleagues that it’s not only what you do today, but we carry a big tradition forward and we want this company to still be here in the next 100 years.

We have a real history from the Kempinski family who started in the hotel and restaurant business, in Berlin, in 1897. They went through good and bad times, and the company now has 75 hotels worldwide, of which, 18 are in operation in China with two more new openings. As a European, that makes me very proud. But I hope that this kind of DNA can be carried over to our colleagues in China.

Talk: What is your favourite venue in the Grand Kempinski?

HM: The Executive Lounge! I think it is one of the most beautiful Executive Lounges in the whole industry. It’s large; of course, we are a big hotel! We have 684 rooms and personally, for me, the Executive Lounge is a great venue to relax and meet with guests. There's a great view and I think we offer great value to our guests in terms of upgrades. We have a lot of guests who come to the hotel and book our entry level room type and then, with a small surcharge, they have the benefits of using the Executive Lounge, having breakfast there, having cocktails there in the evening and enjoying the skyline of Shanghai.

Talk: What are your big plans for the future of Grand Kempinski Shanghai?

HM: I really want to position Grand Kempinski, Shanghai as one of the top five players. We need to be in the top five preferred destinations here in Shanghai.

I want to make sure that all of our restaurants are destinations. So, if people say, I want to have good Italian food - I want to go to Acqua restaurant; I want to have fantastic, authentic Spanish food - I want to go to Albero; I want to have incredible Dim Sum from a Cantonese chef - I want to go to Suntime Century. So each and all of our restaurants need to be destinations. I also want to make sure that our employees, my colleagues, who are working here, really feel that they take ownership of what they are doing through training, involvement and social activities. We talk a lot about customer marketing, but I think, in our industry, we also need to talk about employee marketing. Hotel brands really need to have an active HR marketing approach to gain talent and to keep talent because the labour market in China, with regards to the luxury hospitality industry, is shrinking.

It is very small. We are opening too many hotels, too fast, to upkeep the pipeline of new talent. So you cannot keep recruiting, keep recruiting and training staff and then loosing them. You need to have stability in your workforce. There are a few hotels that are very good at that here in Shanghai, and it is one of my aims to be one of the top hotels to maintain stability in the workforce who say, “Wow, I am really proud to work for Grand Kempinski Shanghai”. So it is to be one of the top five players in the market, to make sure all our restaurants are F&B destinations, and make sure that we have a very loyal and happy workforce in the hotel.

Hyatt Regency Suzhou The Hyatt Regency Suzhou has opens its doors and refined luxury in the heart of the “Venice of China”

L

ast month, we were so excited to hear that the Hyatt Regency Suzhou had opened its doors and we eagerly jumped on a high-speed train to make the short, journey from Shanghai; 25 minutes by train or one hour by car.

Suzhou is synonymous in China for its ancient canals, stone bridges and UNESCO-listed classic gardens, however, it is also a bustling and modern city. The Hyatt Regency Suzhou is conveniently nestled in the Suzhou Industrial Park with a subway station at its doorstep. The hotel is part of Jinghope Plaza and includes a luxury shopping mall, entertainment venues and two Grade-A office buildings.

The hotel offers 355 spacious guestrooms and suites, plus their famous Regency Club, which provids the highest level of personalised services, including exclusive access to the 28th floor’s Regency Club lounge, serving complimentary breakfast, all-day refreshments and evening cocktails.

Upon entering the hotel, one of the many standout features is the breath-taking 29-storey triangular atrium topped with a glass roof that casts light down into the entire hotel. The interior design, by LTW Designworks, takes its cue from Suzhou’s classic gardens with traditional and contemporary design features blended seamlessly, exemplified by traditional bird cages, outside the hotel’s signature Chinese restaurant, featuring the chirping sounds of computerised birds displayed on tablet computers inside the cage.

Hyatt Regency Suzhou’s 355 contemporary guestrooms encircle the eye-catching atrium and offer impressive city views from every room. The bright, modern design incorporates Suzhou stylistic influences – from a large black-and-white mural featuring snapshots of classical architecture and garden images to woven cane lanterns and an abundance of natural woods and textures. Room size starts at a generous 430 square feet and, of course, all offer premium amenities, including: a large-screen LED TV with satellite channels and free on-demand movies; coffee and tea sets; individually controlled air conditioning; and complimentary high-speed broadband/Wi-Fi Internet access.

Hyatt Regency Suzhou offers a range of dining destinations. The hotel compromises both international flavours and authentic local dishes with fresh seasonal ingredients. We were blown away with the cuisine on offer at Hua Chi 88, a vibrant Chinese dining restaurant serving authentic Suzhou and Huaiyang cuisines, Taihu Boat cuisine from nearby Tai Lake and the city’s finest Peking Duck roasted over fruitwood in the traditional duck oven.

The dishes were cooked to perfection and were served in the beautiful dining room with open kitchen. It was great to see our dishes being freshly prepared by the talented chefs and we would encourage you to also try the drunken crab when you visit.

Hyatt Regency also presents: The Fireplace, an

international grill restaurant with a sophisticated European bistro-style ambience; Tea House, serving light snacks, teainspired beverages and cocktails; The Atrium, for informal meetings; and Market Café, with double-height windows where guests can eat out of the pan, off the grill and out of the wok.

Hyatt Regency Suzhou really is the place for every occasion, be it business or leisure, with more than 15,000 square feet of innovative meetings and events space, as well as Yue Spa. The Residence is a new-concept events venue comprised of four multifunctional rooms with large French windows, hosting up to 360 guests, where as the 6,240-squarefoot Regency Ballroom can host up to 450 people for a cocktail event and 340 for a private dining event. Yue Spa, at Hyatt Regency Suzhou, is designed to restore and maintain the natural equilibrium, or “yin yang”, which is critical to human wellbeing. Six private spa suites, plus two reflexology areas, provide a full range of body and facial treatments. Spa guests can enjoy the hydrotherapy facilities, featuring Roman-style baths and an oversized steam room.

So what are you waiting for? Plan a mini-break or business trip to the Hyatt Regency Suzhou soon. It is well worth the short journey from Shanghai.
