EDITOR’S LETTER
Happy New Year and 新年快乐 from Talk Magazine! In 2015, we welcome in the Chinese zodiac year of the sheep, and our Chinese New Year Supplement (pages 19 to 24) has all the information you need to know about local traditions, festive food and which zodiac sign you are. We also give you tips about how to avoid bad luck if this year is your benming nian. Unfortunately, if you were born in the year of the sheep, it is not your lucky day, or should we say year… Our cover story this month is Talk’s 2015 Bucket List (pages 8 and 9). We have created our list of must-do activities for 2015 covering beauty, health, style, travel and tech. If you haven’t already done so, we suggest you make it your New Year’s resolution to cover all five areas before the year is out. In this issue, Dr Nate Balfanz, Senior Clinical Psychologist at JJ-Premier Medical Care, a comprehensive mental and medical health service clinic for expat children, tells us why it’s important for kids to maintain family bonds whilst living abroad (page 7). Ensuring that these bonds remain unbroken helps to enhancing feelings of self-esteem and self-worth in children. We recently received a KORE Therapy treatment at The Peninsula Shanghai (page 11). It is a neurological based treatment that integrates Western and Eastern ideologies. Dr Brazier, who developed the world acclaimed programme, was in Shanghai to train members of The Peninsula Shanghai team and we were fascinated when he tested and apparently managed to determine the root cause of our aliments. Over on our travel pages in this issue, we holiday in Hawaii and escape to Angkor (pages 12 to 16). As usual, we have the latest hotel news, food and drink deals as well as our essential listings at the back (pages 31 onwards). Now, let’s Talk!

A Nobel Act
Nobel Prize winner and Shanghaiborn scientist, Tsung Dao Lee, who won the award in 1957 in Physics, has donated his medal and diploma to the Tsung Dao Lee Library at Jiao Tong University Minhang campus. Visitors to the library will be able to view the impressive accolade and it will hopefully inspire the next generation of Shanghai-born talent.
Cracking Down On Unlicensed Taxis
12 unlicensed taxis, which were using the third-party booking application, Didi Taxi, have had their vehicles confiscated, with some facing a RMB 10000 fine. None of the drivers had a business licence and their cars were not registered as taxis. Shanghai residents must be wary, when stepping into a taxi, that the vehicle is being operated legally otherwise, in the event of an accident, they would not be able to claim compensation, as the vehicle is not insured. It is also not safe to travel with a driver who is not vetted by the system and therefore has no accountability. Take care when commuting!
The Glamour Has Gone
There was sad news at the end of 2014 with the announcement that Glamour Bar, on the Bund, would be shutting its doors for good. This year’s Shanghai International Literary Festival will now be held at sister venue, M on the Bund, in the Crystal Room at the restaurant. Whispers around town are that the bar was forced to close after the lease expired and rent was excessively raised. Glamour Bar will be sorely missed amongst the expat crowd in the city, as it was known for its cultural events, great cocktails and even better company.
Plastic, Not So Fantastic
We have all heard the stories about young Chinese women flocking to foreign countries, such as Korea, to go under the knife and change their physical appearance. Upon returning to China, after their plastic surgery, many look so different that they have trouble convincing immigration staff that it really is them in their passport photo. But what happens when the surgery turns ugly? Shanghai Zhen’ai Women’s Hospital has launched a hotline to give advice, consultation and medical help to those who have encountered bad experiences with plastic surgery abroad. FYI, the number is 4008 805 522.

OPINION: GUEST COLUMN
Maintaining Family Bonds: Important Considerations For Staying Connected While Living Abroad Dr. Nate Balfanz
C
hristmas has been and gone and Chinese New Year is fast approaching here in Shanghai, which means it is a time of year when people gather together to celebrate, give thanks, and visit family members and friends they may not have the chance to see that often. The importance of time spent with significant others over the holidays is magnified for those of us in the expat community, as work, school and a variety of other circumstances have resulted in us being separated from our loved ones for, often, lengthy periods of time. So what can this holiday season teach us about the importance of staying connected with family and friends throughout the rest of the calendar year? Most of us would not have made the commitment to living in such a vibrant, fast-paced city as Shanghai if it were not for a willingness to step outside our comfort zones and pursue something we found to be worthwhile. Perhaps it was an entrepreneurial endeavour, a transatlantic job transfer or an opportunity to study in a foreign country that landed us here. Regardless, we all know how easy it can be to lose sight of where our journey began or how far we have come along the way. When we couple that with time zone differences, work responsibilities and the basic, everyday challenges of adjusting to life in a foreign community, it comes as no surprise that many of us lose contact with the family members and friends we used to see and speak to on a regular basis. One might ask, how could we possibly find time to connect with our old lives when we’ve been so busy creating a new life here in Shanghai? And better yet, why should we even bother? Research has demonstrated how maintaining the support of close family members and friends, despite the distance that separates us, can support both one’s physical and mental health. Positive social support from family members and friends has been shown to help reduce the likelihood of developing depressive disorders, as well as
EDUCATION TALK
enhancing feelings of selfesteem and self-worth, and even thwarting the onset of illness or chronic disease. The research makes it clear that staying positively connected with the family members and friends we surrounded ourselves with before moving is a critical tool for navigating the inevitable challenges that come with living in a foreign community. As worldrenowned psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Bruce Perry stated, “There’s no better biological interaction that you can have than a relationship.” Tips for Staying Connected Throughout the Year:
Create A Phone Call Schedule Whether it be every day, every week, or every month, creating and sticking to an agreed upon phone call schedule with your family members and friends helps to hold one another accountable for staying connected.
L
awrence Dallaglio, one of England’s finest Rugby World Cup winners and captains, visited Dulwich College Shanghai in December as part of the Rugby World Cup Trophy Tour. It was a great opportunity for all rugby players from Year 3 to Year 13 to meet an England legend and to see the official Rugby World Cup Trophy. Junior rugby students met with Lawrence Dallaglio and received signed rugby balls, whereas senior rugby students were treated to an audience with the sporting superstar. Lawrence Dallaglio played 85 games for England, three games for the British and Irish Lions, was a Rugby World Cup winner in 2003 and played 227 games for Wasps Rugby; a true inspiration for all Dulwich College Shanghai students.
Keep A Virtual Connection Between Skype, e-mail, text messaging and various types of social media, the space that separates us is smaller than ever. Maintaining a virtual connection with your loved ones throughout the course of a day or week is the next best substitute to sharing a physical space with them.
Maintain Holiday Celebrations And Traditions This tip is particularly important for those expats who are not able to make it home for the holidays. Cooking a holiday meal, hanging stockings on the mantel, or even watching your favourite holiday movie are all methods for promoting feelings of family togetherness. Combine tips #2 and #3 and watch your holiday movie “with” your family or friends over Skype.
Reach Out Chances are you are the only one amongst your family members and friends who is currently living abroad. This means that while your lifestyle has probably changed considerably, theirs has more or less stayed the same. This can make it difficult for others to understand the unique challenges that come with living in a foreign community, which will require an extra effort on your behalf to let them know how important staying connected is to you. Dr. Nate Balfanz is the Senior Clinical Psychologist at JJ-Premier Medical Care, a comprehensive mental and medical health service clinic for expat children, adolescents, adults, and families living in Shanghai.

BEAUTY IPL Hair Removal @ Strip W
e started our hair removal treatment with Strip back in May 2014, and have been going back every six weeks for our follow up sessions. We have been so impressed with our friendly and knowledgeable therapists throughout the experience, and equally impressed with our results. We have not experienced any pain or discomfort during the process and have not needed to use any other hair removal methods during the treatment. However, IPL hair removal works best on people with light skin and dark hair and is, unfortunately, not as effective on people with dark skin or very light hair. Most people can expect hair reduction ranging from 75% to 80% but for blonde or red-haired clients, results can range from 25% to 60% depending on the amount of melanin present in the hairs. IPL (intense pulsed light) hair removal treatment uses a broad spectrum of high-intensity focused light to destroy and weaken existing hair and hair follicles through heat energy, thereby stopping hair growth. As the hair starts to grow back after each treatment, it begins to shed naturally and regrowth is reduced with less noticeable, thinner hairs. We believe that for no-fuss, long-term hair removal, this is the best beauty investment you can make in 2015.

Reiki With Master Level Practitioner, Fadzi Mandiringa R eiki is an energy healing practice that originated in Japan almost a century ago. Reiki claims to be able to improve stress levels, heal emotional issues, as well as help with physical pain and more. Tafadzwa “Fadzi” Mandiringa, is originally from Zimbabwe, but comes to Shanghai via Changzhou, in Jiangsu Province. She explained that Reiki works with the chakra and meridian systems of the body, in a similar way to acupuncture, or acupressure, and that practitioners can read the health of different parts of the body by laying their hands lightly on, or slightly above, a patient, in order to pick up any issues.
January-February15
Mandiringa told Talk that Reiki works on all levels; spiritual, physical and mental. It can combat stress and boost your energy levels. It can also be used to combat emotional problems such as expressing yourself or issues with family and friends. We think that this is a great, alternative way to de-stress from life in our busy city. If you are looking for a new method to relax, relieve pain or improve your emotional wellbeing, try a Reiki treatment in Shanghai. For more information about Fadzi Mandiringa’s Reiki practice, visit her website, www.fadzi.com.

STYLE
pgrade your wardrobe with items at locally based store, MaryH. The Swedish-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 multiuse 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. MaryH also offers unisex boots, which are handcrafted with high quality cow leather and lambskin trims, both outside and inside. 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. This year, choose minimalistic, functional yet colourful products and support this independent, unique brand rather than follow the lure of luxury labels.
f you only travel to one place this year, make sure it’s to Shangrila in Yunnan Province. Originally called Zhongdian County, or Gyalthang in Tibetan, Shangrila County, is part of Greater Tibet, and was given its current name in 2001 in the hopes of boosting tourism due to its association with the fictional, isolated paradise written about in James Hilton’s Lost Horizon. The town is split into various ethnic groups including Han, Naxi and Bai residents, however, the surrounding countryside is made up of traditional Tibetan farmhouses hosting an entirely Tibetan population. Blue skies and white clouds add to the beautiful Tibetan countryside scenes of rolling green hills, distant snow capped mountains and wandering yaks. Thanks to crystal clear visibility and fantastic light, your eyes are able to pick up the colour of far-flung prayer flags raging in the wind. Bright, enticing traditional patterns of turquoise, magenta, gold, cobalt and coral can be found on everything from clothes to house decorations, monasteries to horses. Apart from long treks in the countryside, and becoming acquainted with the local people, visitors must make a trip to Sungtseling Monastery. A very important monastery in Tibetan Buddhism, it was built in 1679 and is the largest of its kind in Yunnan and currently houses around 700 monks. Shangrila has a unique cultural heritage and a strong, traditional community. It is therefore an ideal place to visit and appreciate many aspects of Tibetan culture and customs without the restrictions that come with journeying into Tibet. This county is a deeply spiritual
and sacred place, where you will find hard working and high-spirited Tibetans enjoying the same type of lifestyle that their ancestors would have benefitted from generations before. And where should you stay? Banyan Tree Ringha of course! The hotel is situated in an extremely small Tibetan village, surrounded by mountains, and is made out of traditional Tibetan farmhouses that have been reused to form a beautiful hotel. The population of Ringha village, which is about a 30 minute drive from Shangrila centre, is 100% Tibetan and the hotel works very closely with the local community to organise day trips to village farms and dinners with local Tibetans to eat tsampa, drink yak's butter tea and join in with traditional Tibetan singing. They also offer the opportunity to take mountain treks with their tour guides, but due to the high altitude, we suggest taking a horse with you! Web: www.banyantree.com/en/cn-chinaringha.

App Of The Year: IndulgeSmart I
f you haven’t already done so, make sure you download IndulgeSmart this year, and put it to use straight away. IndulgeSmart is a Shanghai-based app that was launched last year aiming to help local residents explore, eat and enjoy. After registering an account with IndulgeSmart, you are able to search, share, rate and review local restaurants and bars, in English; a Chinese version of the app is slated to come out in the near future. The multi-functional platform allows you to search for venues based on your individual tastes and dining history, as well as suggest venues to your friends. It also uses location-based services to discover new restaurants or bars nearby. You can read reviews by other users, or leave your own, to get a true image of what’s hot and what’s not in town. By the end of 2014, the app already had 25000 users, with 4500 registered, highly active users, who mainly focused on mid to high end dining. This is a very user-friendly, English Language app, full of all the information you could possibly need. We believe that in the future, it could give Dianping a serious run for its money.

KORE Therapy @ The Peninsula Shanghai Nyima Pratten
The Peninsula Shanghai has become the first spa in the city to add the globally acclaimed KORE Therapy programme to their offerings. Developed by Dr John Brazier in the UK more than 20 years ago, KORE Therapy is a neurological based treatment that integrates Western and Eastern ideologies and orthopaedic muscle testing skills to ascertain the root cause of pain, illness and fatigue.
D
r Brazier is an honouree Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and a specialist in Western musculoskeletal systems. This outgoing, Northern English doctor became interested in Eastern medicine after becoming one of the first ninjas in the UK and learning about the intricacies of the human body from an Easternmedicinal perspective. A happy coincidence, through his day job as an engineer, took to him Beijing and a chance meeting with a university doctor, after an injury, led him to study TMC in China and then other forms of Eastern medicine in Japan and Thailand before pursuing a career in wellness therapy; and as they say, the rest is history. After opening a practice in Lancashire, North England, with a Chinese colleague, and creating the KORE Therapy programme, Dr Brazier has become extremely successful in his field, and is now the Vice President of The Federation of Holistic Therapists, the UK's largest professional therapist association. KORE Therapy has also proved successful in enhancing sporting performance and injury assessment. Olympic athletes, Premier League footballers, professional golfers, tennis coaches, Indian Premier League cricketers and champion body builders seek treatment from Dr Brazier to increase their power before a match, or treatment for their pelvic, spinal, digestive, nerve, energy and blood flow issues. Dr Brazier visited The Peninsula Shanghai’s spa in December to conduct a five-day KORE Therapy training programme, teaching the Peninsula’s therapists and personal trainers to diagnose the causative factors in many musculoskeletal issues. The subsequent treatment is then aimed at achieving an immediate reduction of pain, increased strength, performance enhancement and faster recovery from illness and injury. We were lucky enough to be invited for a session while Dr Brazier was in the city. Our treatment began with a personal consultation, and a conversation about our specific health and wellness needs.
We identified that sleep problems were our biggest concern, although the doctor can also help with neck, back and leg pain, bowel and digestive issues and immune system problems amongst other things. As we lay, fully clothed on the massage table, Dr Brazier laid his hands on our body and discovered a slight rotation in our hips, which was compensating for an old injury in our right leg. He pinpointed the exact problem by using muscle testing, which involved the doctor applying pressure to different areas of our legs and then asking us to hold our thumb and ring finger together as he tried to pull them apart. If there was an injury in the area he had touched, it was harder to hold our fingers together against the opposing force. The doctor also discovered an old neck injury, exacerbated by constantly looking down at the computer or phone screen. We were told that problems with the neck could lead to sleeping problems, as there is a musculoskeletal imbalance between the head and neck. After the assessment, Dr Brazier aimed to treat these specific problems through the integrative KORE Therapy technique, which is a mixture of Western and Eastern philosophies, as he rebalanced and realigned our body. Although we were sceptical at first, the doctor proved the success of the treatment by once again using muscle testing. This time, after he put pressure on our problem areas, we were able to resist his pressure. Seeing the apparent, immediate improvement was undeniably impressive. If you are looking for a personalised treatment that is targeted to help improve your specific ailments, which you have not been able to cure with more commonplace treatments, it might be worthwhile seeking treatment from a KORE Therapy trained professional. Furthermore, Dr Brazier will be returning to Shanghai in 2015, so make sure you contact the spa if you would like to book an appointment with the master himself. KORE Therapy @ The Peninsula Shanghai Spa. Price: RMB 580 +15% (30-minute consultation); RMB 1200 +15% (60-minute consultation and screening treatments). January-February15 TalkMagazine

Escape To Angkor Nyima Pratten
Siem Reap, approximately a four-hour direct flight away from Shanghai, is a buzzing little city in North-western Cambodia that is famed for being the gateway to the Angkor region. The area is covered in more than one thousand temples, the largest of which being Angkor Wat. Even though it was built in the early 12th century, it is still a modern day symbol of Cambodia, and should be at the top of every tourist’s bucket list.
T
his was our second visit to Siem Reap, the first time being in 2007, and we certainly noticed a big changed. The tourism industry has transformed this once sleepy city into a loud and boisterous party town filled with restaurants, cafes, souvenir shops, bars, pubs and clubs; especially around the aptly named Pub Street. In the evening, the area is crowded with tourists from around the world, especially rowdy young backpackers taking part in organised pubcrawls. Although this is an area well know for its live bands, drinking culture and nightlife, we enjoyed the area much better during the daytime, when we were able to walk around the area, buy local trinkets, snack in the local restaurants that are dotted around the streets and experience a Cambodian massage. We particularly enjoyed trying the many different variations on the famous local dish, Amok fish curry, which is a rich, thick yellow curry served in a coconut. Located a short tuk tuk ride away from the city centre is Angkor Archaeological Park. You must buy either a one-day pass or a three-day pass, at a slightly discounted price to enter the site. We realised that the area inside the park is so vast, and heaving with temples, that visitors would struggle to cover enough ground in one day. You can negotiate a price with your tuk tuk driver to take you around for the day, or the full three days. It is also possible to hire a guide to take you around the temples, which we highly recommend, to truly get an understanding of the site’s colourful history and the importance of the ancient buildings. If you want to explore the park independently, you can rent a bicycle, and thanks to the newly paved roads, it is quite a comfortable option, if you can stand the humidity. We visited the Angkor National Museum, during our time in Siem Reap to learn more about the pre-Angkor

and post-Angkor reign, which was very beneficial, and if you want to tour the temples on your own, this should be your first stop. There are many statues and relics in the museum, along with explanations that will help your understanding of the area and the period of time. Once inside Angkor Archaeological Park, Angkor Wat welcomes you upon turning the first bend in the road. Surrounded by a lake, the reflection of the water gives the viewer an almost kaleidoscopic view of the scenery. Angkor
Wat is one of the largest religious monuments in the world, and is an awe-inspiring testament to the faith of bygone generations. We noticed that it was markedly busier that on our first visit eight years ago, and any photos you take of the temple will be full of people. However, it is definitely quieter first thing in the morning or last thing in the evening, so we suggest visiting during these times. As the temple is made up of many corridors and chambers, it is possible to find calmer little nooks and crannies
where you can sit and soak up the atmosphere. Beautiful walls with stone carvings of different royal and religious scenes are extremely intricate and impressive. Two other sites that are very much worth visiting are Ta Prohm and Bayon. Ta Prohm is perhaps the busiest temple we encountered, with scores of tourists lining up to take a photo beside the famous tree that was used in the filming of Tomb Raider, a film in which Angelina Jolie starred. The trees have pushed their way out through the ancient temple, making a break for the
sky and leaving the stone building blocks in ruins. Instead of trying to restore the complex to its previous grandeur, it has been left this way, partly leading to why this temple is so popular with tourists who are looking for a photogenic vista. Massive carvings of stone faces, which look out in four different decorations on jutting high towers, dominate Bayon. You are able to climb the steep and narrow stairs right to the top of the complex and walk amongst the godlike statues. If you are looking for a truly remarkable experience when visiting Angkor Archaeological Park, you should sign up for the Angkor Wat International Half Marathon that takes place at the end of the year (Web: www. angkormarathon.org). You are able to run around the site and view many of the famous temples on foot. Money for the charity race is also donated to local charities that work to help a country that experienced so much devastation only a short while ago. January-February15  TalkMagazine

Hawaiian Holiday
Adventures In Oahu Jamie Barys

Home to Honolulu – the state capital and President Barack Obama’s birthplace – Oahu is the most populous island in the Hawaiian archipelago. More than 85 per cent of the state’s residents call the dot in the Pacific home, and its status as a major tourist destination makes that population even more dense in downtown Honolulu and along the stretches of Waikiki Beach. But this tiny island has enough landmass to offer up both urban hotspots and scenic retreats for island visitors.
Hike Manoa Falls
Oahu is so densely packed in that you can find lush, natural beauty just a 15-minute drive from the tower blocks of Waikiki. One of the easiest treks on the island, the hike to and from Manoa Falls, is just two miles round-trip and you trek along a flat path through groves of eucalyptus

trees and bamboo forests and past stone-studded creeks before you reach the 150 feet tall falls. It may look a bit familiar to you - Jurassic Park and Lost were both filmed here – but even Steven Spielberg can’t quite capture the falls’ natural beauty. This is the wettest part of the island, so make sure you wear shoes with good tread and prepare to get muddy.
La Mer
The only restaurant in the state of Hawaii to be awarded a five-star designation by Forbes Travel Guide, La Mer is the pinnacle of dining in Oahu. Book for 6pm and ask for a table by the window, and you’ll have the best seat in the state as you watch the sun set over Waikiki Bay. As night falls, curious sea turtles pop their heads up in the glow of the restaurant for a breath of fresh air. This is all if you can take your eyes from the food in front of you. Every dish on the luxurious seven-course degustation menu is so beautifully plated you almost don’t want to eat it, but one mouthful and you’ll hardly be able to stop yourself. We melted for the poached locally-raised lobster with shaved truffles and an inspired Pinot Noir pairing and their cheese chariot – oh so much more than a tray – with white port.

Explore The North Shore
Far from the highrises of Honolulu and the tourist traps of Waikiki, the North Shore offers a more relaxed way of life than the city’s hustle and bustle, thanks in part to its high concentration of surfers. As you head over the mountains and into the lush, green jungles to the island’s windward side, you’ll see signs asking to “Keep the Country Country!” and stop local development. You can’t blame the hoteliers for leering at the locale; one stretch of the shore is known as “seven miles of heaven” thanks to its white sandy beaches and picturesque views, not to mention its killer surfing spots. Try your hand at the local pastime with Buttons Surf School, but stick with your instructor. Just a few miles away from your classroom of waves are the arenas of surf legends. The site of all three events in the men’s Triple Crown of Surfing, North Shore beaches like Banzai Pipeline and Sunset Beach see waves reaching up to fifty feet tall during the winter months. When you’ve worked up an appetite from all that paddling, head to Ted’s Bakery and order a plate lunch of garlic shrimp. Butterflied and fried in butter, these fresh shrimp are made to order and smothered in parmesan, setting them apart from the many food trucks that pre-fry their products to keep up with demand. For dessert, you can try their decadent chocolate cream pie or head to Matsumoto’s Shave Ice for a hometown snow cone drenched in their collection of sugary homemade syrups.

Where To Stay: Hilton Hawaiian Village They weren’t kidding with the name. The “Village” spreads over 22 acres, with 18 restaurants and lounges and over 90 shops and services spread around the resort. All total, that amounts to five pools (including the largest in Waikiki), 2860 rooms and an annual intake of 136,540 mai tais per year. It can be a bit overwhelming, but not if you’ve got a room in the Ali’I Tower. The beachfront building’s focus is privacy, so guests here receive separate check-in and a pool, gym and spa exclusive to the building. Access to the beach is as easy as walking out the front door, and they make it hard for you to come up with a reason to leave the resort, with stand-up paddleboard lessons in Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon and surf rentals and luaus onsite. Make sure to book a meal at Bali Steak & Seafood – the open-air dining room serves delicious fresh catch and has one of the most charming sommeliers we’ve ever met.

Exploring Maui Haleakala National Park
Heading to the summit of Haleakala, an extinct shield volcano that rises 3000 meters out of the ocean, to watch the sunrise is a gold standard tourist attraction in Maui, and one that lives up to the hype. Home to more endangered species than any other place in the national park service, the peak was historically off limits to mere mortals – only kahuna (priests) were allowed to summit – but now it’s one of the biggest attractions on the island. If you’re not willing to wake up at 3am to make sure you catch the sun peeking over the Pacific, you can enjoy the park throughout the day. With Haleakala Bike Company, bikers can ride 60 kilometres into the crater (where, thankfully, a van picks them up and ferries them up the mountain). Horseback rides through Haleakala with Pony Express tours are also popular, as riders take in ocean views as they meander through cattle ranches.

Local Tastes Of Maui Food Tours Flyin’ Hawaiian
Zip-lining is a popular activity on all the Hawaiian islands, but Maui lays claim to the course that boasts the most superlatives. Flyin’ Hawaiian is not only the highest and fastest zip-line on the island, it is the longest in the archipelago. The course traverses between two different towns, following four kilometres of ridges, valleys and forests, all under the natural canopy of the West Maui Mountains. While speeding over Maui’s gorgeous valley at 80 kilometres per hour is a thrill, a lot of the excitement is thanks to the guides themselves. A crew of rough and tumble guys who introduce themselves on the ATV ride up the mountain are on hand to make sure everyone has the best time possible, including enthusiastically advising you to flip upside on some of the shorter runs to spice things up. Hit them up for advice on the best local eats, where to find shady grottos with turtles and more – they’re happy to do everything they can to make sure every aspect of your trip is as memorable as that last 1100 meter zip.
Maui has so much more to offer than the big resorts that line the beaches, and Local Tastes Food Tours was created to help visitors experience the offbeat areas that locals call home. Tucked away in the rural northwestern slopes of Haleakala known as Upcountry, Makawao is a living monument to the paniolo culture of the early twentieth century, when Hawaiian cowboys ruled the area, hitching their horses to posts that still stand outside saloons and restaurants, like the famous T Komoda bakery. Today the area has a thriving local art scene, and Local Tastes incorporates that into their twohour Makawao Food & Art Tour that takes you through a special plate lunch and into galleries all around the town square. At the end of the tour, you receive a discount card for the places you visited, plus the feel-good afterglow knowing that 10 per cent of your tour ticket was donated to animal welfare organisations in the area.

mozzarella, which comes locally from Solo Latte, an excellent decision). He went to great lengths to secure the flour used in the pizza crust, and this time he’s not sharing it with his restaurant clients. It’s delicious as the base in the Serafina pizza (RMB 138). The alightly-doughy, perfectly-charred crust is swabbed with sweet tomato sauce. Slivers of prosciutto cotto relax into it, covering button mushrooms crisped just so the edges started to curl.
Jamie Barys
But on the pesto pizza (RMB 158), the crust doesn’t fare as well. Under the aged slices of prosciutto crudo draped over creamy piles of stracciatella and sprigs of arugula, barely wilted, the crust is dry and brittle. The wood-fire oven proved too much for the daubs of pesto, unable to defeat the dehydrating power of the kiln’s inferno.

The antipasti platter (RMB 50) sums up Valazza’s commitment to finding quality ingredients on a single plate with briny olives from Tuscany, powerful slips of anchovies from Sicily and sweet roasted piquillo peppers from Spain. A bowl of cold
cuts (RMB 88 for three or RMB 138 for five) was generous – an excellent selection of salami, prosciutto crudo and coppa freshly sliced so paper thin that we thought we were on our final piece of salami, and it turned out to be four. Wines by the glass range from RMB 40 to RMB 60 and go down well with the menu – bottles are slightly more, but still very affordable, and Valazza’s gone to the trouble of finding some biodynamic beauties. Gelato – made in-house - is worth saving room for. Try the luscious strawberry with a scoop of fior di latte milk (RMB 30 for one scoop, RMB 50 for two) for a decadent turn on berries and cream. This is only the beginning for Valazza and the well-thought-out space. Next up is a second floor homemade pasta restaurant, and if Gemma’s pizza is any indication, the laser-like focus will make it worth a visit too.

Holy Cow
Nyima Pratten
What: Healthy hotpot Where: 1/F, 608 Xiaomuqiao Lu, near Zhongshan Nan Er Lu. Tel: 3356 6100. Why: For a wholesome meal free from the dreaded hotpot hangover. This hotpot joint is a rare find in China; a place offering the enticing dish with fresh meat that has never been frozen, an eclectic range of vegetables, straight from farm to table, and the whole pot entirely free from MSG. Gone are the dry mouths and sore stomachs many hotpot lovers accept after a night with the bubbling pot, and instead, culinary delights abound. Foodies will rejoice at the fresh beef, sourced from Dalian yellow cattle, a meat known locally for their tender meat with a fine texture. Different sections of the meat are expertly hand-cut by the butcher in the open kitchen with fresh, hanging beef, before being ferried to the table. Select a variety of different cuts for the table and ensure that you cook them separately, so that they can be boiled and bubbled to perfection. 18 different parts of the beef are available on the menu, from the tongue and throat, to the rib-eye and tail, so make sure you take your time and devour the whole carcass. It was a joy to see such a wide variety of fresh vegetables at a hotpot restaurant, including some vegetables we had never seen in Shanghai or never seen before anywhere, full stop! We’re talking about
grifola frondosa, or hen-of-the-wood mushroom, a rich earthy mushroom that we initially mistook for a cauliflower along with the elusive watermelon radish, patty pan squash, okra and watercress. Most of the vegetables come from the restaurant’s farm, Soleil Villa in Haimen, Shanghai, which, although is not certified as organic because it is a small, new farm, they do in fact employ painstaking organic methods. They use no pesticides or chemical fertilizers; instead they use bees for pollination and only bio-organic fertilisers. As most of the vegetables are sourced locally, the restaurant offers a seasonal vegetable selection. However, it is the broth that makes or breaks a hotpot restaurant and, as we all know, not all hotpot broths are created
equally. Holy Cow blows other broths out of the water for us, with their rich umami filled offering, thanks to hours worth of boiling beef spine bones. Wonderfully, because of the lack of MSG, we were also happy to tuck into the broth, after finishing the contents of the pot, which was jampacked with the vitamins and nutrients of the aforementioned ingredients; a perfect antidote to Shanghai’s cold weather. Our favourite part of the meal was when the Shanghai speciality, xiaolongbao, arrived at our dinner table. We were unsure how to cook the pork, freshly wrapped in their handmade skins, however, after gently
placing them in the boiling broth, we were enthralled to pull them out of the liquid and taste the ingenious concoction. Needless to say, the rich pork and taste of the broth did not let us down. Handmade tofu skins were another highlight of our hearty meal. Chef and founder, Anthony Zhao, believes that these safe, healthy ingredients should be accessible to everyone, and not just a fad for the wealthy, so the price points of the dishes are extremely affordable, with the broth starting from RMB 58 and hand-cut beef starting at RMB 38. There is no reason not to visit this healthy hotpot venue as fast as your legs can carry you. January-February15 TalkMagazine

Sun Chateau On The Bund
Nyima Pratten
What: Extravagant Cantonese fare Where: 358 Dong Da Ming Lu, near Lvshun Lu. Tel: 3535 1739 Why: For fine dining with a great view This new Bund-side venue is shooting to become the new high-end drinking, dining and event space in the city. Kyle Su, formerly of Bar Rouge and Bund 18, runs the project, so you know you’re onto a good thing. Due to the positioning on the bend of the Huangpu River, guests benefit from a clear view of the Pudong and Puxi vistas through the floor to ceiling windows. Covering 5000 square metres, Sun Chateau comprises of a large multifunction venue space, which can hold up to 1000 people, 16 VIP rooms suitable for business banquets and private parties, Sun Studio, a loungecum-steakhouse on the top floor, and a large, outdoor, urban green space. We were invited to try a selection of Cantonese dishes that are available to guests who book the VIP rooms, which
are themed around different luxury brands. The delicate Cantonese food comes courtesy of two star Michelin chef, Huang BoQuan, who is famous for his unique usage of bird’s nest. We were treated to a myriad of delightful dishes on the tasting menu in the large, sun-catching, private room overlooking the river. The table groaned with ludicrously indulgent dishes such as tea smoked buffalo frog, braised beef with sweet potato, beef consommé with a pistachio dumpling and roasted suckling pig with lemon. Dishes such as the aspic of Alaskan king crab meat with creamed pink peppercorns and the salmon and seafood sashimi were fresh, light and tasty. We appreciated the earthy undertones of the braised e-fu noodles with truffle and the presentation of the crispy shrimp balls stuffed with foie gras and herbed prawns, with coloured, spun sugar in the shape of palm trees being a light hearted touch to a flamboyant meal. The highlight for us, however, was foie gras wrapped with French
chocolate, which was unlike anything we have ever tasted before, the rich creaminess of the liver being beautifully offset by the sweat and slightly bitter dark chocolate. There was also bird’s nest soup dessert as an after dinner treat for those with a sweet tooth, who had not already been satisfied. We tucked in because, after all, this is chef Huang BoQuan’s signature dish, and he did not disappoint. If you are looking for a venue to hold a celebration in the next couple of months, Sun Chateau On The Bund is a strong contender with their great views and interesting menu selection. Advanced booking is required.
Night Talk: FLASK Nyima Pratten
What: A hidden bar for those in the know Where: 432 Shanxi Nan Lu, near Fuxing Lu. Tel: 3368 6108 Why: If you want more of the speakeasy theme that is sweeping the city It may seem like a cruel joke if you arrive at number 432 Shaanxi Nan Lu, unaware about the gimmicky nature of the bar, and you stumble upon a dead looking sandwich shop instead of a happening spot. However, this is just the first hat tilt towards the speakeasy theme of the venue, a trend that has seemed to become increasingly popular in Shanghai over the past few years. To access the bar, you must enter the empty storefront and stride, with confidence, towards the vintage looking coke vending machine at the opposite side of the room. Pulling on the handle opens up a secret passageway as you climb into the vending machine, and through the small tunnel out into the dimly lit, prohibition bar. The 1920’s and 1930’s speakeasy theme is carried through from the vintage looking furniture to the bar staff in braces and flat caps. The menu also takes its cue from the era, however, when we visited, we were told
18 TalkMagazine
January-February15
that the drinks were being revamped for the New Year and they were yet to receive the definitive list. The cocktail menu is inspired by drinks popular during the period, as well as more modern variations, which are given a twist with a mixture of Western and Chinese flavours. Drinks are separated into three different categories: ladies (RMB 90), gents (RMB 90) and prohibition classics (RMB 80). We selected Taiwan plum soup from the ladies’ section of the menu, which are characterised by less alcohol content and
a more balanced flavour. Our drink was beautifully presented in a wooden teacup and saucer with salted dry plum powder around the rim, and dried flowers on top. The drink was the perfect mixture of sweet, sour and salt, which left us wanting to lick the rim of our cup for more of the tart, fruity flavour. We also chose the Robin Hood Roy from the gents’ selection, which are supposedly stronger with a smoky flavour. The drink was presented to us in a hip flask resting inside a cut out of a novel – al la prohibition style – along with a chilled cocktail glass and a smoked, dried fish garnish balanced
on the side, which was an interesting accompaniment to the heavy drink. The current drinks menu relies heavily on gin, whisky and rum, but we are looking forward to seeing what the future holds. Currently, the venue is stocked purely with drinks, although there are whispers that the sandwich-joint shop front will turn into a fully operational food dispenser, dishing out grilled cheese sandwiches to patrons right into the early hours of the morning. FLASK opens from 7.00pm, but starts to fill up during the evening until 2am.

Chinese New Year
– What Does It Mean?
Chinese New Year has come around again with all the normal characteristics of a biting damp chill, noisy firecrackers, commercialisation, hongbao, an eerie ghost town like feel descending upon the city and an abundance of empty taxis on the road.
T
his year, Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival, falls on 19 February as it is based on the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar, and therefore falls on a different day each year. It is the most important holiday in the Chinese calendar and causes the biggest annual human migration in the world, as workers return home to their families for the holiday period. Red is splashed everywhere during this period, with connotations of wealth, good fortune and longevity. The legend surrounding the myth of wearing red involved a mythical beast called the Nian ( ĺš´ ) that would come on the first day of the New Year to eat crops, livestock and villagers. Locals put food in front of their houses at the beginning of every year in the hope that the Nian would eat the food they prepared and leave without harming anyone or anything else. One year the villages saw that the Nian was scared away by a little child wearing red. From that moment on, villagers hung red lanterns and scrolls outside their doors to scare away the beast; a tradition that continues until today.

Reunion Dinner The biggest event of the Chinese New Year’s celebrations is the “reunion dinner” on Chinese New Year’s Eve, usually held at the most senior member of the family’s house. In the North, it is traditional to eat dumplings, which symbolise wealth, while in the South is it more common to make niangao (年糕), or Chinese New Year Cake. More traditional families will visit their local temple a few hours before the New Year begins, to pray, worship their ancestors and light incense, however, the temples can be very full and sometimes a ticket is needed in advance. A more recent traditional amongst Chinese households it to watch the famous CCTV New Year’s Gala, jam packed with celebrities and entertaining acts. Family members will also wear new clothes on New Year’s Day to symbolise new beginnings for the New Year.
Hongbao Hongbao (红包), or red envelopes, are also graciously handed out during this season according to a person’s status. The majority of hongbao are filled with an undisclosed amount of money from the more senior person to their junior - normally from more establish, older or married members of the family to a younger, unmarried subordinate. In addition, gifts of food or sweets are usually exchanged between friends.
Fireworks And Firecrackers Fireworks and firecrackers are let off relentlessly during the Chinese New Year period; they are intended to drive away evil spirits, but they can also succeed in driving you insane. Each firework has its gunpowder rolled up in red paper, as, once again, red is auspicious. You won’t be able to walk anywhere during the holiday season without seeing rolls of red paper scattering the street like long snail trails. The whole process is seen as a joyful process. However, beware! There are many risks related to releasing these dangerous gunpowder filled missiles.

Chinese Zodiac Signs The Chinese Zodiac signs are based on a 12-year lunar cycle, with each year relating to a different animal sign. The 12 animals included in the zodiac cycle are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. It is believed that the year of the animal signifies the character of a person born under that zodiac sign.
Year Of The Sheep This year is the year of the sheep and it starts from 19 February, 2015 to 7 February, 2016. Any child born within this time period will take on the Chinese zodiac sign of the sheep. The sheep is the eighth animal in the zodiac calendar and, if you know anything about Chinese culture, you will know that this will naturally be seen as a very fortunate birth sign to have. This zodiac animal symbolises love and happiness, and people born in the year of the sheep are most compatible with people born in the year of the rabbit, horse or pig but are least suitably matched with people born in the year of the rat, ox or dog. People born under this sign take on many characteristics of the sheep such as being easy-going, sympathetic, amicable and gentle. They are very sensitive, and much more likely to favour compromise over confrontation. The sheep longs for stability and seeks out long-term relationships and steady jobs, although they do appreciate the little luxuries and beauties in life. Sheep have a persistent nature, and they stay positive and don’t give up when the going gets tough. A person born in the year of the sheep is the type of person you want around when you are in a tight squeeze.

The Secret To Better Returns Owen Caterer
I
magine you are a financial adviser who has the secret formula for better returns. The path that ensures that your client makes an extra 1-2% p.a. if not more, every single year. This isn't a get rich scheme we are discussing, but a proven method with support from hundreds of academic papers and thousands of researchers globally including the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) institute which trains the best asset managers globally. Would you educate your clients on the truth?
The real answer is, most don't, because they don't want you to know.
The reason they don't share this information is that it would hurt their commission-based business. Many try their best not to believe the truth, despite the overwhelming evidence. As the French Philosopher pointed out long ago, "A man is incapable of comprehending any argument that interferes with his revenue”. They just don't WANT to believe, so they don't. This also means they can't and won't tell their clients. The answer is also vital. It is the reason why the vast majority of offshore investments have underperformed the markets the last two years. Did your offshore portfolio produce a gain of about 30% in 2013 and 15% in 2014? If you are in an offshore investment, the answer is almost certainly, "No, not even close".
So what is the secret?
But what is the answer? It might seem obvious, but the answer is you should avoid anything high cost (both funds and accounts) and only invest in low cost funds that track a broad index. The problem for most advisers is that there is no commission anywhere to be seen in that model, hence the silence. Even managing a group of index funds in an account for a small annual fee is far less than what most advisory firms want to take. A fee based managed account should be the model, but isn't. So clients continue to suffer in silence, quieted by their embarrassment.
Swensen spells out the truth.
It is very easy when you know the truth, but let's not take it for granted. Are lower cost funds actually better? You can, and should, Google it, but let's provide some examples. David Swensen, the renowned long-time investment manager for Yale University's endowment, puts it thus; "The 96% of funds that fail to meet or beat the Vanguard 500 Index Fund lose by a wealthdestroying margin of 4.8% per annum". When the average market return is about 7.5%, that's quite a loss.
What about academic surveys?
But that was just an opinion (well informed though he is), so what about academic surveys? Are higher fee managers better? In fact, it’s the opposite. A research paper, Mutual Fund Fees Around the
World (Khorana, Servaes, Tufano), examined the fees and track record of 46,580 funds globally and found an inverse relationship between fees and performance, even after allowing for the impact of said fees. The only thing that was correlated with fund fees was the fund manager's profits! Not the clients' returns. The reason for the ability of these poor fund managers to attract money is their ability to pay commissions to brokers. Who gets those commissions? The commission based adviser of course. Living in Shanghai, and Asia in general, there is another group of fees that hobble returns even after the fund manager has taken his share; the fees of the investment product or investment platform. Many big companies, and even banks like HSBC in the past, have sold expensive offshore products labelled as "savings plans" or "investment bonds" that in fact charge fees of 3% to 6% per annum, carefully hidden in the fine print. With so many cuts for each layer from the fund manager, insurance company and commission based broker, it's a wonder any of these accounts eke out a gain.
So, is it a lost cause?
What are good options for the average person at home? There are two good options. Firstly, you can take the self managed route and open up an online discount brokerage account with low cost provider like Saxo, E-trade or Interactive Brokers and then focus your portfolio
on a few index funds. Or, if you lack the time and patience to pick exchange traded funds, which can be tricky when it comes to bond funds, you can and should find a fee-based financial advisor who will charge a small annual fee for an 'at-call' account. The US based Wealthfront is great for US residents, but there are also a small group of advisory firms in Asia who can also handle your account, risk profile and currency choice to build a low cost portfolio that will deliver the returns you should enjoy. Now you know the true secret to investing success, there is nothing stopping you from finding the best. Time to get online and to trade yourself or find a fee-based advisor in your area. Owen Caterer is a partner of Caterer Goodman Partners, a primarily fee based financial advisory firm. For more tips on how to handle your savings, check out their blog, www.chinaexpatmoney.com
Community Talk: Clothing Recycling Programme Green Initiatives, a nonprofit organisation that aims to minimise or reverse the environmental degradation in China brought about by economic growth, have launched their new initiative, The Fibre Project. It is Shanghai’s first closedloop clothing and shoes recycling project.
C
hristmas and New Year is a time when you might find your wardrobe swamped with new items from generous friends and family members or sale shopping. But before you throw all your old, unwanted items into the rubbish, think twice about the environmental problems caused by textile waste through landfill sites and incineration. Green Initiatives told Talk that in 2013, Shanghai alone produced approximately 130000 tons of textile waste, with typically 85% ending up in landfills and incinerators even though more than 90% is recyclable. Furthermore, at least 50%

January-February15
of the clothes we discard are reusable. That is why they have created a programme to collect these unwanted items and send them away to be reused, recycled or upcycled. Thanks to Green Initiatives’ partnership with Element Fresh, Unigroup Relocations and Urbn Hotels, the local community in Shanghai is now able to do their bit to help the environment by recycling their clothing. Due to the sponsorship and support from these local businesses, the logistics of the project and collection points for the clothing are taken care of. The items are then sent to I:CO, a Swissbased clothing recycler, where they will be sorted into re-wearable clothing for
people in need, re-useable items, where such things as t-shirts and sweatshirts are turned into cleaning cloths, recyclable textiles, which are no longer suitable for clothing, are converted into fibres for use as insulation material or upcycling, where recycled fibres can be spun into new yarn. I:CO is involved in numerous clothing recycling projects around the world; The Fibre Project is the first in China. Their goal is to create a closed-loop where nothing is wasted and everything is either reused or recycled. Green Initiatives plan to gradually scale up the project at strategic locations over the next twelve months to make the program more accessible to Shanghai
residents. Currently, it is possible to deposit clothes at Urbn Hotel and five Element Fresh locations: Shanghai Centre, Super Brand Mall, Yueda 889, Gubei Garden Plaza and Jinqiao. Items being accepted include all kinds of clothing, bedding, curtains, shoes, socks, napkins and towels, so long as they are not soiled, have a bad odour or are tainted with hazardous substances. The project also hopes that by getting the local community to think about how these discarded pieces of clothing negatively affect the environment, they may become more conscientious about textile wastage when considering whether or not to buy new clothing.

Soleil Villa
Quality Soil, Organic Farming
O
rder your vegetables straight from Soleil Villa to get the freshest and most uncommon vegetables in the city delivered right to your door. There is a seasonal selection, which includes pattypan squash, cassabanana, birkin beet (golden flesh) and chioggia beet (red-and-white-striped flesh), kale, crowndaisy chrysanthemum, yellow cream carrot, dark-purple carrot and cream pumpkin, that will arrive to you washed, packed and ready to be incorporated into your dishes. When it comes to scientific farming, people normally focus on yield. In contrast, Soleil Villa pay close attention to soil management. They have adopted a patented technology from Japan, utilising alkaline photosynthetic bacteria to improve soil fertility and productivity. This technology can prevent soil depletion caused by successive cropping, which is beneficial to the planting of crops such as watermelons and netted melons. To improve the quality of their agricultural products, they insist on manual weeding instead of using herbicides; they insist on using sticky trap plates instead of pesticides or other agricultural chemicals; they insist on using bees as pollinators instead of killing all the insects with dimethoate; they insist on using bio-organic fertilisers instead of chemical fertilisers. Their goal is to do their best to grow organic food, and to provide the safest and tastiest food for their customers. For Valentine’s Day 2015, Andaz Xintiandi, Shanghai will present a “Love Goes Around” room package, which will include complimentary chocolates and a bottle of champagne. During a night full of love, Hai Pai restaurant and Xuan Bar, located on the 1st floor of the hotel, will present couples with a romantic set menu crafted by Executive Chef Jacqueline Qiu. The romantic atmosphere will be enhanced with champagne and a charming surprise dessert, creating a euphoric haze and making the love go around. Tel: 2310 1234.
The planting team consists of professional farmers who have been working in the farming industry for over 30 years, each of them with a good command of modern greenhouse production-related technology and know-how. All management personnel studied agriculture in Japan. Most of Soleil Villa’s seeds are imported from overseas. Some of their melon and fruit seeds are transported from Japan to China.
