Editor's Note

itcoin – the first decentralized cryptocurrency – was developed in 2008 by an unidentified programmer under the name of Satoshi Nakamoto. Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates has praised this peer-to-peer digital payment system as a “technological tour de force” while former US Vice President Al Gore was once quoted as claiming to be “a big fan.” Other prominent figures in the tech industry in the West went even further, describing bitcoin as ‘gold 2.0,’ saying that it will change the world. Halfway across the world, China is also at the forefront of the bitcoin phenomenon. In this issue’s cover story (p52), Noelle Mateer speaks to several major players who are embracing the bitcoin movement in Beijing and across the country. As usual, October is another big month for music festivals and concerts. JZ Festival, the largest jazz festival in China, returns for the 12th time this year on October 15-16, with more than 40 international and local acts including Grammy Award winner Corinne Bailey Rae and Death in Vegas.

TALES OF THE CITY Shanghai’s Biggest Stars

The City’s Top Restaurants According to the Michelin Guide 2017 By Betty Richardson

he day Shanghai's chefs have been fretting about for a year is finally upon us: the release of the first Shanghai Michelin Guide. Not only is this a first for our fair city, it's also a first for mainland China. For a city to even get a dedicated guide reveals that it has entered an exclusive club that includes dining meccas like Hong Kong, Paris, New York and Tokyo. But then again, it's not like China wasn't already making delicious food for the last few thousand years. Twenty-six restaurants have been given stars, while 25 others picked up the Bib Gourmand award, which recognizes places with "fantastic cooking at prices under RMB200 per person." Netizens and the F&B community have expressed their opinions on this list, pointing out its strong preference on Cantonese cuisine and the absence of some of the most popular eateries in Shanghai. Without much further ado, here are the crème de la crème of eateries as decided by Michelin:

“Somebody made a mistake. This spot belongs to the great Allen Iverson, and why? Because I need more ‘practice’ than him.” Internet Destroyer A Shandong man was arrested on August 19 for one of the more bizarre offences we’ve ever heard of. After being ridiculed and filmed by bystanders for partaking in a spot of square dancing in Weifang, he feared that the video footage of his soirée with elderly women would go viral. Clearly tormented, he went to the local internet service provider and proceeded to cause damage to RMB100,000 worth of routers and cables, literally trying to destroy the internet. RAN D OM NUMBER

The number of hours it takes to travel from Shanghai to Xi’an by train. Previously you would either have had to fly or get on an 11-hour train ride to visit Xi’an’s Terracotta warriors. Now, thanks to the new and improved Zhengxu High-Speed Railway, it will take only six hours. Adding to this fast track addition, the Shanghai Railway Bureau says it will introduce a new route map to improve service, as well as adding 47 new trains to the fleet. Other high-speed railway services will also be added between Shanghai and Taiyuan (Shanxi Province) and Shanghai and Shijiazhuang (Hebei Province), and neighboring cities in Zhejiang Province. The railway will be the first of its kind to connect the Yangtze River Delta with northwest China, truly elevating the platform to the next level.

China’s greatest basketball player Yao Ming was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame last month. He made sure his enshrinement speech included jokes, reflecting the playful nature that made him such a success with the Americans. Shaquille O’Neil and Allen Iverson joined him in receiving one of the highest sporting honors that evening. (Yao opened by saying that it should not be he who spoke first, but Iverson – alluding to Iverson’s infamous press conference when he said the word ‘practice’ 17 times in a confusing attack on reporters. This was met with raucous laughter from the audience, including Iverson.)

W Yanzhi / Yánzhí / 颜值 n. the prettiness index, a numerical value for how attractive someone is The new guy single handedly raised the average yanzhi of the office by 45 percent.

I know. He is so good-looking that he'd raise the yanzhi of any office by 45 percent.

His salar y is worth ever y penny. I'm pretty sure that's why he was hired.

He is the wisest investment this company has ever made in terms of return on capital. No doubt.

hen you’re good at math, things are much easier measured when in numbers. Why waste minutes describing the taste of a really good bottle of wine, for instance? In China, we simply say: “It was a 20,000-dollar bottle of wine” and the job is done, so everyone can get on with generating GDP. The same can apply to beauty. Shakespeare might compare a pretty face to a summer’s day or Romeo to a sweet rose, but some in China prefer a quantitative approach. Literally meaning ‘face number,’ yanzhi is a mark on the scale of how pleasing a face looks. When someone is goodlooking, it’s said that his or her yanzhi is high. If someone has the kind of face that stops traffic, it’s said that his or her yanzhi is ‘off the chart.’ Another advantage of a quantitative approach is that s has mathematical continuity and can be added, multiplied or squared. Boy bands can be evaluated as the sum total of their individual members’ yanzhi. A university or a company can be described using the average yanzhi of all the students or employ-

ees there. Your yanzhi can be squared if you lose a lot of weight. The most attractive person within a group is called the ‘yanzhi pillar’ because the average yanzhi of the group would collapse like a tent in a storm if this person left. When appearances can be expressed as numbers, they join all the other statistics that can be reduced to in modern China: income, IQ, age, net worth, BMI, tier of home city, number of houses owned, Gaokao and TOEFL scores, and countless others. When populations become rows of data on a spreadsheet, it becomes easier to look for good employees or potential spouses. But like in any index, yanzhi can rise or drop like stock prices. It drops as you age, but can be boosted by makeup or plastic surgery. There is also, often, a direct correlation between your score and the balance of your bank account. And remember: things like taste in music, compassion, empathy and sense of humor cannot be qualified and therefore have no place in the spreadsheet. by Mia Li

Lila is entering Grade 4 this year and is the best Mandarin speaker in the village

hanghai-based American photographer Benjamin Newbry often travels to remote areas of China by motorcycle to find interesting subjects for his work. One particular village occupied by a Tibetan family in northwest Sichuan has captivated him for the past six years. It all started when Newbry first visited the area in 2010 on one of these motorcycle journeys. During a small detour on his way to the city of Dege (along the border with Tibet), he encountered members of the family, who invited him into their home for tea. “I was hooked,” says Newbry of that serendipitous meeting. “I came back [over and over again in subsequent years], staying longer and talking more with the family and the small village of 17 houses each time.” More of the family and the village’s backstories were revealed to Newbry on each visit. Meanwhile, fascinating changes to the infrastructure of the community and the people add a colorful touch to his series of candid shots of the simple daily lives of the villagers. w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m | o c t o b e r 2 0 1 6 | 1 3

“They’ve gone from no reliable electricity to having solar panels feeding a battery in every house; from no cell phone reception to having ubiquitous iPhones [over the years]. The 5-year-old girl who spoke no Mandarin when we first met has grown into a whip-smart 11-year-old who won an award for having the best Mandarin skills in the region,” Newbry explains. For his next trip, he hopes to play with the juxtaposition of the foreign romanticized notions about Tibetan life with the reality. “I’d like to showcase a staged portrait of the members of the family in traditional garb, next to a shot of them doing something in their everyday routine." to see more of benjamin newbry’s work, visit www. cassiusproductions.com.

The Beard

James Harden and Anthony Davis to Square Off in China’s StarStudded NBA Global Games B y A n d re w C h i n

n October 9, the NBA returns to Mercedes-Benz Arena for the 10th edition of Global Games China. While the visit is notable for bringing Yao Ming’s team, Houston Rockets, for their first Mainland game in 12 years, the battle between the Rockets and New Orleans Pelicans is especially intriguing, as it pits two of the league’s biggest stars against one another: James ‘The Beard’ Harden and Anthony ‘The Brow’ Davis. Both are eager to rebound from nightmarish seasons – and win over some Chinese fans in the process.

Since leaving Oklahoma City Thunder to join Houston, shooting guard James Harden has established himself as one of the NBA’s premier scorers. Two seasons ago, he finished second in MVP voting behind Steph Curry, while leading the Rockets to a surprising Conference Finals appearance. However, after the following season was marred by the Rockets missing the playoffs (and accusations that a summer spent partying with the Kardashians left him out of shape for the season), Harden will be looking to reestablish himself as one of the league’s top players His “threes and free-throws” offense and his laughable, gifworthy ‘defense’ will always be picked apart by critics, but Harden and the Rockets are hopeful that they’ll return to the playoffs this season. Elsewhere on the team, the 20-year-old Xinjiang center and second-round draft pick, Zhou Qi, may be the Mainland’s next great basketball hope. But the Rockets’ biggest makeover was jettisoning controversial former All-Star Dwight Howard. In an effort to add spacing for their offense, the team also added noted shooters Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson – perfect complements to their ‘pass it to James’ offensive strategy.

The Brow Anthony Davis grew to 6 feet 10 inches during high school, instantly causing basketball experts to dub him as the heir of LeBron (the tag also resulted from his unholy combination of size, shooting, court vision and ball handles). At just 23 years old, the former point guard already finds himself on the road to redemption. Drafted first overall in 2012, having lead Kentucky to an NCAA Championship, Davis has made three All-Star teams and was the youngest player in league history to score 59 points in a game. After leading the New Orleans Hornets (as the Pelicans were formally known) to the playoffs two seasons ago, many predicted that Davis would contend for the league’s MVP. What actually happened was an injury-plagued season with his stat line of 24.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and two block shots per game somehow deemed a bust. Following a disappointing 30-52 season, the Pelican have undergone a makeover. They released oft-injured veterans Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon (to the Rockets, incidentally), while signing grittier talents like Solomon Hill and Lance Stephenson. The Pelicans may have lost starting point guard Jrue Holiday, who has taken indefinite leave to take care of his unwell wife, but hopes are high that Davis can join LeBron, Steph and Durant in the league’s top tier and carry his team back to the playoffs. oct 9, 7pm, rmb350-18,888. mercedes-benz arena, 1200 shibo Dadao, by Yaohua Lu 世博大道1200号, 近耀华路 (400 610 3721, en.damai.cn)

Smoking Aces

Shanghai Rolex Masters Preview BY Andrew Chin

nce again, the world’s top tennis players take over Shanghai’s Qizhong Forest Sports City Arena for the only ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament held outside Europe and North America. Defending champion and the world’s current top ranked men’s player Novak Djokovic will attempt to add a record-setting fourth Shanghai Rolex Masters title to his mantle. However, he’ll have to fend off a challenge from the second ranked player, Andy Murray, who has already won the tournament twice. Other big names to look out for are Stan Wawrinka, who bested Djokovic at last month’s US Open for his third Grand Slam victory, and former top ranked player Rafa Nadal. Dark horse contenders include 2014 US Open winner Marin Čilić, 2016 Wimbledon finalist Milos Raonic

and Gilles Simon, who lost to Roger Federer in the 2014 Shanghai finals. The Swiss icon will be unable to make the trip after a serious injury. It’s especially bittersweet as Federer was surprisingly bounced in the second round in last year’s tournament (perhaps due to his appearance on a That’s Shanghai cover – we apologize for any potential curses), which underscores how competitive the tournament is with top dogs like Nadal and Čilić also losing early in the past. Voted by players as their favorite Masters 1000 tournament five years in a row, the Shanghai Rolex Masters also includes a men’s doubles tournament. oct 9-16, 1pm, rmb160-900 (oct 9-11), rmb160-3,000 (oct ), rmb280-5,000 (oct 14), rmb480-8,000 (oct 1516), rmb2,000-4,500 (oct 9-16 pass). qizhong forest sports city tennis center, 昆阳北路3028号, 近元江路 (400 610 3721, en.damai.cn)

The Toughest Mudder

Will Dean’s Insane Obstacle Course BY Lauren Hogan

Since the inaugural Tough Mudder in 2010, over two million people have pushed themselves to the limit in the massive obstacle course. Despite requiring participants to overcome everything from heights to fire, the popularity of the endurance test has spread. With its first ever event held on the Chinese mainland set for October 22-23 at Sunland Green, we caught up with founder Will Dean. How did Tough Mudder start? The first event was definitely less sophisticated than the events today. It was me and [co-founder Guy Livingstone] and we had four people helping us. Six people? Yeah. Now Tough Mudder takes, on site, about 300-400 people with security, construction, etc. [At the first one] we had 15 obstacles that we created in one week. We were very tired after that week.

Why did you choose Pennsylvania? The business answer is to catch the New York and Philly market. The truth is we couldn’t convince anyone to let us host our first event. Eventually we found this ski hill called Bear Creek. They were willing to let us go there so we paid a USD1,000 deposit. I don’t think they thought we’d even show up and they’d get a USD1,000 off of us. Almost 5,000 people came to that first event. Fast forward six years and it’s coming to China for the first time. What will the setup be like here? This is the biggest city we’ve ever had an event in, so it’s hard to find a big open space. The venue will be a bit different, but it will be big enough.

And what about mud? We don’t have much of that here… Tough Mudder is used to producing events all around the world. In some places, like England, there is a lot of mud. But then there are places like Arizona where there isn't much. We will find a way to make enough mud. We will have to bring in some soil since it’s a very urban environment, but we are used to doing it. I promise you, there will be enough mud.

How will the obstacles compare to other Tough Mudders? The aim with every Tough Mudder is to build mostly the same obstacles, but no two courses are identical. With the event here in Shanghai you’ll have all of the main obstacles (birth canal, block ness monster, etc.). 1 8 o c t o b e r 2 0 1 6 | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

“I’m sure the atmosphere here will be different as well, but that’s part of the fun. It’s still people getting muddy, having fun and getting a beer at the end” Did you have any apprehension about bringing Tough Mudder to China? I think the really interesting thing is that everywhere you go in the world, the vibe at the event is a little different. Events in Germany feel a little different from events in the US or Australia. I’m sure the atmosphere here will be different as well. It’s a different culture, but that’s part of the fun. It’s still people getting muddy, having fun and getting a beer at the end. This is our first year, It’s a learning year, but we’ll take the momentum into next year.

How long does it take to complete the course? The average is about four hours for the full, and about two hours for the half. For the really in-shape people it will take between two and two-and-a-half hours. But it’s a team event so most people do it at the speed of the team.

Any final thoughts before the big day? I’m really looking forward to this one. I think it’s going to be very special. I’ve done 21 Tough Mudders and I’ll do this one in China. I think it’s important as the founder and the CEO. [From having an idea] in my head to doing it in China this October... it’s something I’m very proud of. oct 22-23, starts at rmb418 (half) or rmb618 (full). sunland green, 628 qifan Lu, by Laiyang Lu 启帆路628号, 近莱阳路 (www.toughmudder.cn)

A New Horizon The latest Financial Times survey reveals that Antai College, Shanghai Jiao Tong University has again achieved a higher global ranking in 2016. With good news rolling in, many new faces are ready for their first term, including students in the school’s IMBA programs. With very generous scholarship awards for new students this year, IMBA is expecting another round of admissions this November. Yiying Yao:

Have you found the transition from an HR assistant to an operations manager challenging? Yes. There are huge differences in the duties involved. The latter needs a lot more management skills, as well as proactive thinking and strategic planYao Yiying (Canada) ning. It requires me to think at a much higher level than in my previous role. However, I really appreciate the experience. It has allowed me to take on challenges, grow at a fast pace, and eventually adapt to a brand new level. What’s your understanding of the Chinese market? The Chinese market has great potential and is unique in terms of future development. The future of the Chinese market can hardly be predicted using the previous development patterns in any other parts of the world. It was an extremely valuable experience for me to have direct contact with Chinese customers. From observing their purchasing patterns, I developed an idea of their unique traits. This experience will certainly help me to make a more efficient plan in the future.

Markus Werner:

What’s your impression of Shanghai and the campus so far? Markus Werner (Germany) With my diverse background (Werner is half-German and half-Venezuelan, and was born in Jakarta and grew up in Shanghai, Germany and Mexico), Shanghai is the perfect international culture and business hub. Antai's faculty has an outstanding reputation and I’m looking forward to campus life. On a side note, I also really enjoy the area around the university, which is just a 10-minute scooter ride away from my home. It’s interesting to learn that Yiwu Commodity Market was

Chelsea Holman:

Why did you decide to join Antai IMBA program? I love the international aspect of the program; it is so unique. I wanted a program rich in diversity, with students coming from different cultural and professional backgrounds. Additionally, Jiao Tong is a high-ranking business school at an affordable cost, which doesn’t exist in America. After ample research within the United States and other countries, the choice to select Jiao Tong was an easy decision.

Chelsea Holman(U.S.A.)

Are you the type of person who enjoys challenges? Absolutely, otherwise I would not have quit my stable job in America to move to the other side of the world for school. I am always looking for opportunities and challenges where I can grow as a person – so I am looking forward to what I will learn over the next two years here.

a crucial part of your first startup attempt. How did that inspire you? The market was indeed a very interesting insight. We have learned a lot along the way and are proud to say that we have been able to move forward despite the challenges we had. Today, our core business consists of Market Entry Services, Business Development Strategy and M&A (mostly China/ Germany). What do you expect from Shanghai Jiao Tong University? As I was a Business major for my undergraduate degree, it was clear to me that at some point I wanted to learn more about current market obstacles especially in the Greater China area. I hope to meet like-minded students, and am curious to find out which industries are bustling.

Seongwook Baek:

Do you find it challenging to transition from a Chinese major to being an assistant Seongwook( Justin) BAEK (Korea) manager in one of the most influential Korean tech companies? I majored in Chinese and minored in business administration in college. My first job as an assistant manager at LG was strongly related to my linguistic specialty, since my customers were all based in Chinese mainland or Taiwan. I think it’s more of an extension rather than transition. What’s changed in the past decade in terms of dealing with Chinese companies? Although I spent more than 10

years learning Chinese culture and market, I still find gaps between theory and reality. For example, many people still believe that to build good partnerships with Chinese people largely relies on guanxi. But some China companies started cooperation with our company because they believed in our technology, not because of any guanxi. It’s a good example of the changes and lessons I experienced from the actual business field.

Angie Wu, Founder of AWU Tell us about your backstory and how growing up in different places has shaped you as a jewelry designer. I was born in Taipei, moved to Buenos Aires when I was 10, and immigrated again to Montreal when I was 18. My mom is a biologist and she loves adventure, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we moved to Buenos Aires, where I was exposed to the world of handicraft in different weekend markets while browsing through the handmade work of the local artisans, I dreamed of becoming one someday. Montreal is where I fully explored my creative side by studying fine arts and industrial design. I moved to Shanghai in 2005. It was the place where my design career took off, thanks to my position as the chief representative officer and project manager for a design firm. In 2014, at the age of 38, I decided that it was time to fulfill my lifetime dream of setting up a studio where I could express myself through my work. I chose jewelry design because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect marriage between fine arts and product design. Growing up in such contrasting cultures made me a more openminded person. It also opened my eyes and exposed me to different styles and tastes. I was able to shape my worldview and personal style by merging them into one unique identity that embraces Asian, Latin, French and English aesthetics.

Walk us through what it was like for you to transition from an industrial designer to a jewelry designer. It was an easy transition. I had years of experience creating unique and permanent exhibitions for various museums. The design principles applied to jewelry design are the same: brainstorming, concept development, design development, prototyping and production. All I needed to learn were new material properties such as precious metals, precious stones and enamels, and special techniques such as stone setting and enameling. As a museum designer, I had to work with thousands of people and projects take years to complete. What I truly enjoy as a jewelry designer is that I can now create most of my work in a small studio. The time spent crafting a piece of jewelry on my bench is my favorite part of the job. How do you come up with ideas for your collections?

2 0 | o c t o b e r 2 0 1 6 | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

Each expression of my work is a unique journey for me. Inspiration comes from many sources. The Fall collection, for example, was inspired by my black and white photography work in Montreal. One of my thesis projects was a series of photographs of fallen leaves floating on the river and canals. I truly loved the poetic feel of these images, and when I was exploring concepts to develop into jewelry in 2014, the first piece I made was the Fall Ring that resembles a leaf floating horizontally over the fingers.

Is there a collection that has a special personal meaning to you? That would be the Home collection because it answers a very personal inquiry that I have struggled to resolve for a long time. Since moving to Shanghai, I have been asked again and again where home is for me, and I had the hardest time answering this simple question. A lifetime of moving, immigrating and traveling contributed to a life rich in experience yet resulted in an identity crisis â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the term 'home' has become so hard to define for me. After much reflection and analysis, I have come to the conclusion that home is where I am. So I created the Home collection to remind myself of that.

Are there differences between the preferences of your Chinese and non-Chinese clientele? Non-Chinese clients tend to prefer silver as the material. They are attracted by either very minimal or geometrical designs, or by striking statement pieces, such as the Wright collection, inspired by the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, and the Bamboo collection. Chinese clients, on the other hand, have a predilection for gold jewelry and smaller, more understated pieces suitable for everyday wear, like the Home collection, which features simple lines and a meaningful concept attached to it, or the Fall collection, with subtle patterns and organic profiles. Any plans to expand your brand? From the beginning I always planned for my brand to be global. In the next few years I hope to be able to spend some time working in Thailand, a country I am drawn to for its silversmith tradition and techniques, and for its beautiful culture and hospitality. Finally my strong cultural connection to Europe and North America makes reaching out to these markets one of my long-term objectives, possibly basing my studio in Barcelona, the hub of the art jewelry sector. > awustudio.com, wechat Store: angiewush

Louis Vuitton Travels with Jing Boran French fashion house Louis Vuitton recently appointed Chinese actor Jing Boran as the face of an ad campaign for their new Monogram Eclipse men’s travel essentials. In the video (which can be found on LV’s official accounts on various Chinese video streaming sites) and stills, the 27-year-old heartthrob from Shenyang is seen strolling leisurely through Paris’ Palais Galleria with the brand’s new Horizon suitcase and Explorer backpack among other products. With constant delays in airports around China, however, LV suitcase-carrying travelers will likely be less poised than Jing in these ads.

“Removing the headphone jack doesn’t take courage. But charging USD159 for AirPods does.” Dave Pell, iOS developer and investor, wrote on his Twitter account after Phil Schiller, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing announced the new design of the iPhone 7 with wireless headphones in early September. AirPods, which are priced at USD159, ignited waves of comments on social media, with some accusing Apple of disregarding people’s habits, and making fun of its earring shape. Others, however, are optimistic about the future of bluetooth earpieces, calling it a “game-changer.” We do appreciate the revolutionary change that the AirPods bring, but the million-dollar (or USD159) question is, what happens when we lose them? After all, they look like the most easily misplaced items in the world, don’t they? > www.apple.com/cn

While neutral tones dominate the apartment, Bilal incorporates dashes of bright colors around the room in the forms of fresh fruits, plants, rugs and books, to give it some life.

Seen here with her cat Bakerloo, Bilal takes pride in the greenery installed on the balcony – one of her favorite places in the house. It also takes her back to the times when she first met her husband in the UK, where the couple would always go on dates in gardens and parks.

Minor Details

aliyah Bilal’s story as an expatriate in China is slightly different than most. In 2004, the Islamic studies specialist from Silver Spring, Maryland first arrived at Kunming’s Yunnan University for a research fellowship focused on the Hui people – an ethnic minority group consisting mainly of Chinese-speaking Muslims. After the program ended, she continued her graduate studies in the UK, where she

2 4 | o c t o b e r 2 0 1 6 | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

met her husband, and his job eventually brought the couple to Shanghai in 2008. Bilal, who has been living here on and off for a decade, is now writing a book that focuses on her personal experience as a person of a racial minority in a foreign country, and it’s scheduled to be published in 2017. “The idea came from being asked repeatedly by others what it’s like to live in Asia as a black person,” she explains. “There’s good

and bad, and I want the narrative and assessment to be filled with kindness and sympathy,” says Bilal, who admitted to writing many drafts of the book but has only recently found the right framework to tell the story without focusing too much on herself. Having moved into their current flat near Xintiandi in February, Bilal has also been busy decorating it from scratch. Here’s a look inside.

i n t e r i o r | l if e & s t y l e

Two Chinese-style calligraphy pieces in Arabic by Hui artist Mi Guangjiang (AKA Haji Noor Deen) are displayed prominently in the dining room. One is a blessing to the couple, and the other is a passage from the Quran that translates to: “O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.”

Upon entering the apartment, guests receive a warm welcome from a painting by Bilal.

When she’s at home, Bilal spends a lot of time in the study, which is blessed with plenty of natural light during the day. She enjoys doing most of her writing here, and describes herself as a ‘ferocious reader,’ consuming around four books per month on average.

Continuing with the clean aesthetic, the master bedroom is simply decorated with plants and Bilal’s photographs taken during her travels. The daybed by the window also makes for a cozy place to read on a lazy afternoon.

eth0s

A Subterranean Hidden Gem By Dominic Ngai

rom the moment you push open a grey concrete wall that serves as the main entrance for eth0s, you know you’ve stumbled upon a hidden gem. Walking past a seemingly random visual display of sporadically placed furniture and black and white photographs on solid black walls, a staircase leads you down to the basement level, where eth0s’ 1,000-square-meter showroom of fashion items, furniture and home décor products sits. Started a few years ago at a much smaller space on Changle Lu, this multi-brand store’s current location is a functioning bomb shelter, which brings a mystic tranquility to the space. On the fashion side of things, eth0s carries the works of about a dozen labels from Europe, the US, Australia and Japan, and they are separated into different areas inside the showroom to reflect and recreate the ‘ethos’ and atmosphere of each. All of the brands that are carried here have their own distinct styles that appeal to a niche audience with high disposable income. Geoffrey B. Small, an American fashion label that specializes in luxury handmade and eco-sustainable design, is one of the brands for which eth0s is the exclusive distributor in China. A blazer that uses pure and finely woven cashmere produced by a historic fabric mill in Italy goes for RMB47,000. Furniture items in the eth0s showroom create a striking contrast to the entrance on the ground level, thanks to Ning Ju (凝具), a label from Taiwan, for adding a warm, homey touch to the space. Their Chinese motif with a modern twist also complements eth0s’ overarching East-meets-West theme – blending the two separate elements of the space together seamlessly.

New Buyer

Part of Yuyuan Lu’s New Look By Dominic Ngai

or Ling Sun of New Buyer, Yuyuan Lu is a street full of childhood memories. So, when an opportunity to open a showroom as part of the Changning District government’s plan to revitalize and rebrand the street as a new cultural hub presented itself a few months ago, she was excited. The Shanghai native cofounded this multi-brand store and a “platform for upand-coming designers from China and abroad to showcase their work” a few years ago, and it first opened in the Kerry Centre in Pudong and Hongqiao’s Takashimaya department store. Unlike the other two New Buyer outlets, the Yuyuan Lu showroom is focused more on accessories (handbags, sunglasses and jewelry pieces). However, the aim to deliver fashion, lifestyle and well-designed pieces to the masses at an affordable price continues to be the ethos. One of the main differences between New Buyer and similar concepts is that the theme of the showroom changes every two or three months (along with the designers featured) to reflect the season – a process

2 8 | o c t o b e r 2 0 1 6 | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

that’s easily achievable thanks to all the movable display shelves and tables. Sun has noticed a rise in the quality of work by young Chinese designers, and she has been stocking more of their products in recent months. For instance, she recommends Green Cocoon’s handmade jewelry pieces (starting from RMB360), which are made using a painstakingly complicated process that’s been passed down from the imperial family. Some of the most popular items in the store are white leather bags from Qulu, each of which is hand-painted with the designer's signature swirls. Besides these permanent locations, New Buyer also appears as themed pop-up stores across the city in various shopping centers from time to time. Sun says there are also plans to bring these pop-ups to other cities in the near future to reach a broader audience across China.

Jova Health

The Scents of Wellness By dominic ngai

ou may have seen Jova Health drinks at places like Hunter Gatherer and various high-end supermarkets around the city, but Jen Hau and Polly Zhang have always wanted to expand the offerings of their modern Eastern wellness brand since its founding in 2013. Recently, Jova introduced three new scented candles, marking the first step of their venture into lifestyle products. “Our drinks are an exploration of our taste memories. The scented candle line is all about scent memory. We have always loved the way scents are able to trigger forgotten memories… They also have an incredible ability to help people relax, which is one of the main tenets of our brand,” explains Hau. Jova's candles are made with all-natural wax – a blend of beeswax, non-GMO soy wax, and food grade coconut oil – while the three flavors pay homage to Hau and Zhang’s Chinese heritage. There’s the ‘Nourish’ candle, which combines the scents of vanilla (stemming from the founders' love for White Rabbit milk candies) with sandalwood; ‘Purify’ uses osmanthus as the main note – a smell that surrounds the streets of Shanghai in the fall; the spice-filled ‘Replenish’ is a tribute to the memories of preparing food in the kitchen and the anticipation of enjoying a meal with family. Looking ahead to the future, Hau tells us that Jova will continue to explore other products to promote the idea of healthy living with all five senses. She teases, “We are looking first to fill out our line of beverages and candles before the end of the year, and then to proceed to the sense of feel through a line of all-natural skincare product.” > jovahealth.com, wechat id: jovahealth

Exploring the Kaleidoscopic Charms of this Southern Indian City BY Sheila Seiler

MYSORE, INDIA

Located in southern India, Mysore is one of the yoga capitals of the world. It’s the birthplace of Ashtanga yoga, and most serious yogis and yoginis of all disciplines have studied there. The city was the capital of the Mysore Kingdom for over 550 years. Located in the southeast province of Karnataka, it’s also known as ‘the City of Palaces,’ and is home to many temples, palaces, and world-renowned hiking trails and rock climbing mountain areas.

Traveler’s Tip: The stereotype of India is that it’s dirty and crowded. Mysore consistently tops the list of ‘Cleanest Cities in India’ and is noticeably less populated than Shanghai. For people looking to visit India for the first time, this is a great spot to start.

3 0 | o c t o b e r 2 0 1 6 | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

MYSORE PALACE

Mysore has seven palaces. The eponymous Mysore Palace is in the center of town at the Old Fort. One of the most famous buildings in India, it takes in over six million visitors a year, coming in just behind the Taj Mahal. Mysore Palace’s architecture blends Rajput, Gothic, Muslim and Hindu styles. This three-story building with marble domes is surrounded by large gardens, and houses 12 Hindu temples. On Sunday evenings and during special holidays, it is illuminated by 96,000 light bulbs from 7-7.45pm. Traveler’s Tip: You must have your passport with you in order to enter the palace. Opens daily from 10am-5.30pm.

t r a v e l | l if e & s t y l e

CHAMUNDI HILLS AND CHAMUNDESHWARI TEMPLE A 10-minute tuktuk ride from Mysore Palace are the Chamundi Hills. Here, you will find a black granite statue of the bull Nandi, which is the 'vehicle' of Lord Shiva. Visitors climb 1,008 steps to reach the Chamundeshwari Temple for a panoramic view of Mysore. After removing their shoes at the entrance, they can offer flower garlands and incense, pray, and take in the sights.

Traveler’s Tip: The signs leading up to the temple will direct you to the paid VIP entrance, but there are rarely any lines for the normal entrance (which is free).

EATS

Let’s be honest: the food is why you come to India. Since Mysore is located in the south of the country, the curries here are often coconut-based and generally less heavy than their northern counterparts. Fermented rice pancakes, grilled fluffy and white, are served at IDLI stands by the side of the road around breakfast time. They’re generally served in pairs with chutney or curry and sometimes with a side of fried dough balls. At lunch and dinner time, the same pancakes are fried and served with curry (these are called palappam), and are served at diners and restaurants. Mysore pak is a dessert made from sugar, flour, ghee and sometimes cardamom. It has the texture and consistency of fudge and it can be found everywhere. For the largest selection, check out the sweet marts.

Traveler’s Tip: Many restaurants have two menus: one for the air conditioned area and another for the non-air conditioned area. The former is slightly more expensive (by a few rupees) and often offers up to 10 times more dishes.

KARANJI LAKE

Mysore is home to five lakes, the largest and most traveler-friendly of which is the Karanji, located in the middle of a nature park that also has a butterfly conservatory and the largest aviary in India. You’ll also find a wide array of birds by the lake, including storks, peacocks, egrets, sandpipers, parakeets, warblers and sunbirds. Karanji is also home to the Regional Museum of Natural History, and the surrounding park is both family- and runner-friendly.

SANDALWOOD SOAP AND INCENSE FACTORY Mysore is famous for sandalwood incense, soaps and oils. With an unmistakable woodsy scent, sandalwood is known for its calming effects and is traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine, or India’s holistic health system. Sandalwood tones the skin and relieves dehydration and inflammation. It’s also used as a deodorant, disinfectant and anti-inflammatory remedy. Traveler’s Tip: There are guided tours of the Government Sandalwood Factory. Opens Monday to Saturday from 9.30am-6.30pm. A gift shop is available on site.

GETTING THERE AND AWAY

Direct flights to Bangalore run from Shanghai through Hong Kong or New Delhi, with the total round-trip airfare starting at about RMB4,800. From Bangalore, it’s a three- or four-hour-long taxi (around RMB400) or bus ride (around RMB40) to Mysore. Buses run starting at 6.30am. There are hotels, guesthouses and hostels for all budgets.

ST. PHILOMENA’S CHURCH St. Philomena’s is a neo-Gothicstyle Catholic Church built in 1936. Incongruous with the rest of the neighborhood, the interior has frescoes and offers daily mass services. No photos allowed.

Traveler’s Tip: While not engaging enough to be a destination in its own right, especially because guided tours are not offered, St. Philomena’s is generally part of organized city tours and would be easy for more adventurous travelers to use as a cycling destination.

DEVARAJA MARKET

Located at the center of Mysore, Devaraja Market is an assault on the senses: eye-high piles of flowers, artfully displayed vegetables and fruits, stacks of incense, and stalls with thousands of bangles and bracelets. Vendors are friendly and knowledgeable and are often glad to let you sample their products. You can get great deals on Kashmiri chilies that look intense but are quite mild. Flowers and flower garlands used in celebrations and as offerings at shrines are piled everywhere and visitors can watch the vendors threading the flower gardens in their stalls. One of the most unusual and photogenic products for sale at Devaraja Market are piles of colorful powders that are used to make rangoli patterns – commonly seen on floor tiles outside of homes. Traveler’s Tip: Just like anywhere else, saying thank you (or Dhanyavaad in Hindi) goes a long way.

HANDMADE SARIS, LINENS, AND YOGA RUGS

3 2 | o c t o b e r 2 0 1 6 | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

Most of the silk in India comes from Mysore, which produces about 8,000 metric tons of mulberry silk a year. Tourists and locals tend to stock up on Mysore silk, especially saris (a traditional women’s garment). The Government Silk Weaving Factory is open for tours from Monday to Saturday from 8.30am-4pm. Tuktuk drivers can also bring you to silk and sari stores. Mysore also has plenty of linen shops that sell handmade yoga rugs, tablecloths and linens. These yoga rugs also function as towels to be placed on borrowed mats, or as props when practicing yoga.

a d v e r t o r i a l | l if e & s t y l e

YOGA

SAFETY Visitors should wear loose-fitting clothing that covers their knees and shoulders and be careful when walking alone at night; tight yoga clothing is considered indiscreet outside of yoga studios. Exercise normal caution around valuables and pay extra attention when at markets. Tuktuk drivers are not licensed or registered, so trust your gut instinct about whether or not to ride with them, especially after the sun goes down.

As the birthplace of Ashtanga yoga, Mysore is home to several famous yoga schools, and has been home to numerous yoga thought leaders. Ashtanga yoga is the predecessor of vinyasa and power yoga, and is characterized by a set flowing sequence series. It was developed from Hatha yoga as a way to keep Indian royalty fit. Yoga doesn’t have a hierarchy of leaders, but most influential yogis and yoginis – from B.K.S. Iyengar and Pattabhi Jois to modern yoga superstars like Kino MacGregor and Briohny Smyth – have logged serious time on the mat in Mysore. If you’re a seasoned Ashtanga practitioner who can put your knee behind your ear, then you’ll probably opt to study in one of the month-long sessions at Shri Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute. For the casual yogi or yogini, you can find places that will take you for one-off classes or sell you a one-week membership. But buyer beware – they often won’t run the classes unless enough people show up – so your class could be canceled without prior notice. The most personal and professional yoga studio we found was The Shala, which was founded by B.N.S. Iyengar (no relation to B.K.S. Iyengar, another yoga great). The Shala offers both Hatha and Ashtanga classes, all of which run even if only one student shows up. Unlike most other places, they have a predominantly local clientele, which is good because it has a community feel. The owner, Kanchen, also rents private rooms at below-hostel prices; they get booked up fast, so best to reserve in advance at kanchen@bnsiyengar.net.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (3D)

oct 3

James Cameron’s classic gets a 3D makeover for its 25th anniversary. Justifiably lauded for its then groundbreaking special effects, Terminator 2: Judgment Day features Arnold Schwarzenegger as the titular near-invincible cyborg. However, unlike 1984’s original Terminator, he is here to protect Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) from a creature even more powerful than him. A winner of four Academy Awards, it has already grossed nearly USD520 million. Expect that number to rise, especially in China where it was not initially released in cinemas. Cameron’s Titanic made another USD145 million on the mainland following its 2012 3D re-release.

Mafia: The Game of Survival

C a n vas s e d

Tan Yuxi A recent graduate of London College of Communication, 24-year-old Chongqing artist Tan Yuxi's latest project Performing Sculpture has been championed by Brownie, an emerging local brand that eyes talented photographers all over the world.

On Performing Sculpture... The idea was inspired by American artist Alexander Calder’s exhibition. I finished it after graduation before coming back to China. I did this for two reasons: one is that I wasn’t satisfied with my graduation piece. Although our professors enjoyed it a lot, I found it too complicated in terms of expression. The other reason is that I was planning to do something to celebrate and commemorate my time in London. I invited friends, from makeup artists to models, to help with that. On the use of bathing suits... To be honest, that was one of my very peculiar ideas. Fortunately, my friends never rejected it. The costume is easy-to-get and gives sort of an intimate sense between individuals; for instance, when they are holding or hugging each other. h ao b u h ao

Set in Moscow circa 2072, the dystopian Russian sci-fi action film brings the popular card game to life with a twist. Mafia: The Game of Survival is now the most popular show in the world, with 11 people from different backgrounds trying to figure out who are innocent civilians and who are ruthless Mafia. However, the stakes are even higher, with the winner claiming a one million dollar prize while the losers face a painful death based on their deepest fears. Director Sarik Andreasyan has helmed past Russian commercial hits like That Was the Men’s World, Moms and The Pregnant.

Bu Hao During China’s first box office slide in five years, even its successes are failures. Marking the first time mainland audiences saw Matt Damon on the big screen as Jason Bourne, the film topped the box office in its opening week. However, a shoddy 3D conversion left audiences dizzy, causing the film’s original 2D version to be rush released.

On her style... People do find that most of my work features women. There’s no specific reason for that although I see a different sexiness in females Models FROM JVOGUE compared to most male photographers. I convince my models to wear clothes rather than take them off because nudity or physical exposure doesn’t necessarily mean sexy. On her future plans... Hopefully, I can start my own studio next year in Shanghai. Compared to Chongqing, Shanghai has more opportunities for youngsters and adventurers. Having said that, I know I will return to my hometown in the future because efforts are being made to improve it and I feel it’s my responsibility to be part of that.

Last year, Grylls introduced Survivor Games on Dragon TV where eight celebrities endured challenges like eating raw bull’s testicles in Guizhou Province. Already, Li has posted pictures of himself eating what look like bugs.

Shanghai International Dance Centre

fter four years of construction, the Shanghai International Dance Center will officially open its doors on October 1 with Shanghai Ballet’s adaptation of Hamlet. The show is one of the highly anticipated offerings this month, along with the Derek Deane- choreographed, Shanghai Ballet production of Romeo and Juliet (Oct 5-6) and the Sino-French modern ballet, A Sigh of Love (Oct 8-9). Acclaimed international groups like Israel’s Batsheva Dance Company, as well as the celebrated Shanghai dancer Ta Yuanyuan (who is a principal with the San Francisco Ballet) have confirmed they will bring shows to the new complex. Located in Hongqiao, the 39,100-square-meter center covers six historic structures and four new buildings, including the centerpiece new theater that holds 1,080 seats. A smaller theater will also be on-site and the complex will serve as the home for the Shanghai Ballet, Shanghai Song & Dance Ensemble, Shanghai Dance School and the dance department at Shanghai Theater Academy. Equipped with cushioned floors, the 48 spacious rehearsal rooms on-site will provide a big boost for local dance groups. Unlike other ballet companies abroad where it’s common for dancers to work into their early 40s, many Chinese dancers must retire during their 30s as a result of injuries. Built as part of the 12th Five-Year Plan to establish more cultural hubs in Shanghai, the new dance complex is expected to draw more international productions while allowing its resident companies to collaborate with guest dancers, choreographers and dance teachers from abroad. hamlet: oct 1-2, 7.30pm, rmb80-680. shanghai international dance Center, 1650 hongqiao lu, by shuicheng lu 虹桥路1650号, 近水城路 (www.shdancecenter.com)

We Got (The Jazz)

JZ Makes Its Big Return BY Andrew Chin

Since the surprising April closure of JZ Club, Shanghai has been a sadder place for its jazz cats. However, they will have plenty to rejoice about this month when the iconic club reopens in its new location in the former Datong Mill on October 14, with JZ Festival returning to Expo Park on October 15-16.

ith three-time Grammy Award winner Corinne Bailey Rae headlining both nights, JZ Festival looks to polish the stellar reputation that has made it China’s largest jazz festival. Over 40 artists will rock five stages, touching on a dizzying range of genres from neo-traditional jazz (Joshua Redman and Brad Mehldau Duo) to more electronic sounds (Death in Vegas). “For me, jazz isn’t just about music. It’s a lifestyle,” declares JZ laoban Ren Yuqing. “When people think of jazz they think of someone sipping wine or whiskey, but jazz is full of choices and can suit anyone’s tastes.” “JZ Festival should be like that. We sort of have two different lineups. One is for the public and the other is for jazz people, but we want to show people that jazz has many different styles, including newer ones that are more electronic. We want everyone tojoin this big party and live this jazz life.” The former bass player for Cui Jian chuckles when asked if he’s enjoyed time off following JZ Club’s closure. After all, he spent

3 8 | o c t o b e r 2 0 1 6 | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

the summer touring European jazz festivals with an allChinese band that featured Shanghai stalwarts, singer Coco Zhao and guitarist Lawrence Ku. “The Prince of Morocco came up to us and said he wanted us to play there,” Ren smiles. “We talked to a few more jazz festivals. Next year, we hope to have a China Jazz Day at Umbria Jazz Festival, Paris Jazz Festival and Copenhagen Jazz Festival.” In addition to spreading the gospel of Chinese jazz around the world, Ren has been busy plotting the October 14 reopening of JZ Club. Cologne’s WDR Big Band Koln (“for me, they are the best big band in the world”) will headline the opening, and Ren promises they have gigs lined up with big international acts. Reluctant to divulge any specific details of the new locale, Ren promises it will rectify one problem that its previous location had. “The Fuxing Lu JZ Club had a nice building and vibe, but if we had too many people there it was hard for everyone to watch the performances,” he admits. “This place we’ve created allows everyone to

have a good music experience.” It is located in the former Datong Mill development on Julu Lu. Ren chuckles that when JZ Club first committed to the area, they were one of the few tenants.

“For me jazz isn’t just about music, it’s a lifestyle”

However, recent crackdowns mean that Yongkang Lu refugees like Café des Stagiaires and El Luchador, as well as acclaimed Xixi Bistro, will soon be their neighbors. “It’s so exciting,” he says. “It’s going to be a cool block where you can get some nice food or cocktails. It’s very cool.” With a growing chain of livehouses across the nation and a music festival to juggle, Ren remains motivated for the same reason that made him start JZ Club in the first place. “We love music,” he shrugs. “We want to share the experience and just keep going.”

Calling All Jazz Cats

2016 JZ Festival Preview BY Andrew Chin

ow entering its 12th year, the JZ Festival has established itself as one of the premiere jazz festivals in Asia and the largest of its kind in China. Once again, they’ve put together an impressive bill, with 44 acts rocking five stages on October 1617. Here are a few that can’t be missed.

Death in Vegas

Emerging out of the 90s electronica boom, the English group has been widely praised for taking the road less traveled by adding more live instrumentation while dabbling in disparate sounds from techno to psychedelic rock. They’ve reemerged from a five-year hiatus, linking with the actress and writer Sasha Grey on this year’s Transmission. United by their love of early industrial pioneers Throbbing Gristle and Nitzer Ebb, the collaboration has been praised for its early 80s IBM take on techno. Their live A/V performance debuted this summer in Berlin to great acclaim. > oct 16, 8-9.30pm. earth lounge.

Corinne Bailey Rae The two-time Grammy Award winning singer has topped the UK charts while selling over five million albums. Her self-titled debut produced huge hits like ‘Put Your Records On’ and ‘Like a Star,’ but the soulful singer isn’t living in her impressive past. This May, she released her third album and first in six years, The Heart Speaks in Whispers, to great acclaim. Recently, Stevie Wonder asked her to be a special guest at his Hyde Park concert, where she wowed a crowd of over 60,000. Even NASA and the International Olympic Committee are fans, recently recruiting her for songs and advertisements. > oct 15-16, 8.45-10pm. the river stage

Eddie Gómez Quartet ft. Li Xiaochuan Cutting his teeth in the legendary Bill Evans Trio, Gómez has worked with icons like Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane and Chick Corea. The two-time Grammy Award winning double bassist has been paying it forward by spreading his jazz insight to young acts like Chinese trumpeter Li Xiaochuan, who remains the only jazz artist to be awarded by CCTV Music Channel. Mentor and student will team up for this exciting collaboration in Li’s adopted hometown, Shanghai. > oct 15, 3.45-5pm. Jazz harbor.

Balaio Invites Randy Brecker Over a sterling five-decade-long career, trumpeter Randy Brecker has won six Grammy Awards while working with everyone from Charles Mingus to Parliament-Funkadelic. After connecting with percussionist, producer and composer Marco Bosco in Tokyo, Brecker’s interest in Brazilian music was revived, leading to the Grammy Award winning disc Randy in Brasil. With help from the band Balaio, Brecker will bring Latin jazz sounds to life on stage. > oct 15, 7.45-9.15pm. Jazz harbor.

Joshua Redman and Brad Mehldau Duo Emerging out of the 90s young jazz lions period that helped produce the neo-traditionalist neo-bop jazz movement, saxophonist Joshua Redman and pianist Brad Mehldau have racked up Grammy nominations as leaders of their own ensembles. However, they rekindle the partnership that led to such great albums from the Joshua Redman Quartet early in their careers with this intimate duo performance. While it debuted five years ago, they’re touring again due to popular demand as they prep for the upcoming release of a live album for the celebrated label Nonesuch Records. > oct 16, 7.30-8.45pm.

A Brand New Coco

From Winning I Am A Singer to Performing in Asia’s First Fashion Rocks By Dominic Ngai

wenty-three years ago, Coco Lee kick-started her music career after placing second in Hong Kong’s biggest televised singing competition and earning a record deal shortly after that. Her performance of Whitney Houston’s ‘Run to You’ that night offered a glimpse of the powerful vocals showcased in her most well-known works like ‘Do You Want My Love’ and the Oscar-nominated theme song of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, ‘A Love Before Time.’ On October 14, Lee is part of the impressive lineup of performers (including Usher and Charli XCX) at Asia’s first Fashion Rocks, a concert that brings together the biggest names in fashion and music at the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center. “I’m a very spontaneous performer; I feed off the energy from the crowd,” Lee tells us. “Besides performing, I’m also hosting! It’s definitely going to be a high-energy show. I’ve seen all the past shows in the US and I’m super excited.” After releasing 15 albums in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and selling more than 10 million records worldwide, the Chinese-American pop diva is enjoying another career high in 2016, thanks to another singing competition. Earlier this year, Lee competed in the fourth season of I Am A Singer, one of China’s most watched reality TV programs (similar to American Idol but contestants are all well-known singers from across Asia). She went on to knock out top notch

singers like Taiwan’s Jeff Chang and K-Pop heartthrob Hwang Chi-Yeul over several elimination rounds with her takes on ‘Earth Song’ (Michael Jackson), ‘Stay with Me’ (Sam Smith) and ‘Bad Romance’ (Lady Gaga) among other Chinese hits. She considers her trilingual ability (English, Cantonese and Mandarin) to be an advantage for her career, as it allows her to be both “East and West” at the same time. “These three languages have such different intonations that I think my voice sounds different when I sing in each – they all bring out a different side of me. But if I have to pick one, I’m probably most comfortable with singing in English.” Reflecting upon her time on I Am A Singer, Lee says, “It was the most intense, stressful, yet fulfilling experience I’ve ever had. I’ve never cried so much in my life! There were times that I thought I wasn’t going to make it to the end, but I’m glad I never gave up.” Lee is not ruling out the possibility of participating in similar shows in the future, saying, “Right now I feel like I’m living a ‘new me’ – someone who’s more daring and open to trying things that I would’ve been too afraid to do before… like joining I Am A Singer, so anything is possible.”

“English, Mandarin and Cantonese have such different intonations that I think my voice sounds different when I sing in each – they all bring out a different side of me”

Music From the Gods The Majesty of Mono BY Andrew Chin

“Witnessing extremely loud sounds live is almost like seeing a spark of thunder in a quiet night sky, then hearing the echoes of loud thunder. It’s beautiful, yet crushing”

ust two years after unleashing the companion discs The Last Dawn and Rays of Darkness, Japanese post-rock legends Mono are already back with their ninth album, Requiem for Hell. “Inspiration is always sudden and without notice,” songwriter and guitarist Takaaira ‘Taika’ Goto explains. “If I miss that moment, nothing similar ever comes back. This time, before losing that moment, I made notes of every single melody and sound I was hearing in my head.” “At the same time, I started to feel as if these things were already existing in my heart. With the melodies in my head, it was a series of really pleasant experiences of my emotions getting released from inside. Even while traveling the world in cars or staying at hotels, I kept getting that same feeling.” Comprised of songs written during “a flood of inspiration” last year, the double album takes its cues from Dante’s Divine Comedy. “With this album, I portrayed life and death,” Goto explains. “How should one live? What happens when the body decays? Where will our souls go? What is body and soul? What is the meaning of new life?” Over a celebrated 17-year career, Mono has developed a grandiose sound that has

been described by NME as “music from the gods.” For Requiem for Hell, the quartet looked to their past, linking with members of a Chicago orchestra to reintroduce strings to their sound, which was memorably captured on 2010’s live album, Holy Ground: NYC Live with the Wordless Music Orchestra. They also resumed their working relationship with iconic producer Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, P.K. 14) who produced three of their albums from 2004 to 2009. The reunion was spurred by last year’s co-headlining tour with Albini’s group Shellac in Japan, and Goto raves about the relationship. “Once again, we were reminded that (Albini) is the person who best understands Mono’s music,” he says. “We feel that this album has the best sound in our discography.” Sharing an aversion towards digital recording, Goto praises Albini as “a magician when it comes to analog tapes.” “Without a doubt, he captured everything perfectly, from our air-shaking sounds as a band to our emotions, feelings and even the wordless communication between the band members when we perform. He’s truly the best engineer there is for this.” Slated for an October 14 release, Requiem for Hell’s world tour kicks off with a seven-city tour across the Mainland that

stops off at MAO Livehouse on October 15. “For the past few years, every time we release a new album, we start our world tour from China,” Goto explains. “China is a very interesting country filled with history. Every city has a different and unique mood. Everything about it is very original and powerful. Even food in China tastes different in each city, and it's all really tasty.” While the group’s records are consistently critically acclaimed, Mono’s mighty reputation stems from their epic live shows that routinely pack venues across the world. “Music is about experiences,” Goto says. “Witnessing extremely loud sounds live is one type of experience. It’s almost like seeing a spark of thunder in a quiet night sky, then hearing the echoes of loud thunder. It’s beautiful, yet crushing – an unusual experience.” “At the same time, subliminal music is extremely spiritual. Every sound and melody start to soak into every cell in your body, takes them subconsciously and moves them. Music can speak to everyone more eloquently than words. It’s close to philosophy. It’s a gift from God.” oct 15, 9pm, rmb220-260. mao livehouse, 3/F, 308 Chongqing nan lu, by Jianguo Zhong lu 重庆南路308号3楼, 近建国中路 (newnoise.taobao.com)

The Dreamer

Classic Stories with a Gecko Touch BY Zoey Zha

To mark the 400th Anniversary of two renowned literary masters’ deaths – Shakespeare and Chinese legend Tang Xianzu – the award-winning British physical theatre company Gecko has teamed up with Shanghai Dramatic Art Centre to present the experimental play, The Dreamer, which combines both artists’ classic works. Director Rich Rusk from Gecko is obviously thrilled about what’s about to happen this month.

ed by Artistic Director Amit Lahav, the muchacclaimed Gecko was established in 2001 and has since brought selected works including Missing to Shanghai. Gecko’s latest collaboration with Shanghai Dramatic Art Centre, The Dreamer, is a special joint effort to celebratate literature masters William Shakespeare and Tang Xianzu, whose works – A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Peony Pavilion – prevailed in the same era yet in different countries. According to director Rich Rusk from Gecko, the story is an emotional journey that reveals the unfortunate love life of a normal-looking young woman who attempts to improve her romantic life, while dealing with immense pressure from her parents. “The inspiration was the dream scene in The Peony Pavilion, where the lady falls asleep to meet her loved one,” says Rusk. “The connection between these books is, undoubtedly, the dream scene. This is when we bring in some mythical characters with magical powers, like fairies.” And this is the part that Gecko works its magic and steers the plot of two familiar stories onto an unexpected path. All of the characters will appear on stage with modern and ancient clothes to signify the time period in which the characters are living. “One minute, she’d be in the office and then the next scene, she will fall into the sea. It’s like when you have a dream, but nothing that happened remains in her memory when she wakes up. We’ll have many things happening simultaneously to have the audience fully focused and engaged,” Rusk explains. Fortunately, Gecko is known for its wild imagination and witty performances. With eight years of experience working at the company, Rusk has been involved in almost all of their major productions. While he’s delighted to apply all experiences into this new project and presenting it in a city he loves, he admits he has some worries. “The creation process was less exhausting, but to find

4 2 | o c t o b e r 2 0 1 6 | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

t he at er | A R T S

a way for all the characters to co-exist was quite challenging.” On that note, he credits the show's "amazing visual effects team" for bringing his peculiar ideas to life. As new guests to the Gecko world, actors from Shanghai Dramatic Art Centre were expected to meet the Gecko standard, That meant extreme physical training and being pushed out of their comfort zone. However, Rusk takes great care to note that The Dreamer is not a Gecko-leading play, but a work that's “made by locals and for locals.” For local audiences, Gecko will still appeal to audiences regardless of their English level. As masters in physical theater, they tell their story through movements – a universal language that can be understood by everyone. “We don't tell our audience what to think," Rusk adds. "What we do is like offering a contract that says, ‘We’ll do everything we can to make you have a good night, and all you have to do is be open.’ If you sign it, you’re in.” oct 7-23, 7.30pm, rmb80-380. shanghai dramatic art Centre, 288 anfu lu, by wukang lu 安福路 288号，近武康路 (6433 4546)

ELEMENTARY, my DEAR WATSON

Chapterhouse Theater Takes On Sherlock by Andrew Chin

ince first appearing in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s A Study in Scarlet, Sherlock Holmes has surely become the world’s most famous fictional detective. Eccentric but brilliant, the sleuth remains eminently popular 129 years after his creation. Recent interpretations have ranged from Robert Downey Jr.’s jacked action flick to Benedict Cumberbatch’s wildly popular modernization. But the latest to take on the character is the acclaimed Chapterhouse Theatre, which brings its version of The Hounds of the Baskervilles to Lyceum Theater on November 5-6. “I have a personal passion for Sherlock Holmes, which goes back to my youth,” explains the theater group’s Artistic Director Richard Main. “I remember sitting with my father watching old black and white films. Then later, in college, I used to follow [English actor] Jeremy Brett, who gave a wonderful interpretation. “When we first toured Sherlock Holmes in 2013, I wasn’t sure whether it was going to work or not,” Main admits. “However, it’s proved to be a huge success. We have gone on to do a number of successful interpretations and new stories including The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, so hopefully we have become part of the continuing interest 4 4 | o c t o b e r 2 0 1 6 | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

in the Victorian detective.” Named by Sherlock fans as the top Holmes novel in a 1999 poll, Baskervilles was “the obvious starting point,” Main says, “as the title holds an empirical value in British literature.” Unlike the hit BBC version, Chapterhouse Theater’s adaptation of the case retains its original Victorian setting. But Main explains that award-winning writer Laura Turner’s script rectifies the original’s lack of central female characters. “We have taken the opportunity to actually allow the Baskervilles protagonist to be female in the story,” he says. “The threat is the same, but it certainly gives an opportunity to explore different reasons why the murderous characters carry out their schemes.” “We have also included [Sherlock’s constant running mate] Dr. Watson’s wife who, unbeknownst to her, has been brought to the moors on the false pretense of being on her honeymoon, while actually being involved in solving a crime.” While recent interpretations have also altered some core details – such as Elementary’s casting of Lucy Liu as Watson and Sir Ian McKellan’s portrayal of the detective as a retiree in Mr. Holmes – the Chapterhouse producer points out that all of the adaptations hinge on strong portrayals of the titular character.

“The most important thing about recreating the role of Sherlock is not to have an actor who simply wears the lines, but [one who] brings with them an individuality and strength from his own character,” he explains. “There aren’t many theatrical characters who are more important than the title of the play or film. Benedict Cumberbatch is a very good actor but there is something about his own eccentricity which also exudes from his performance. If anything, I would expect an actor to bring an unspoken intelligence and an outside-ness from everything around him.” While Main is reluctant to divulge details about his production, he promises that the Mainland tour will allow the company “to use lights and effects to create the atmosphere of confinement and threat” that is so crucial to the story’s supernatural elements. With plans already underway to return to China with an adaptation of Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights next year, Main has high hopes that the company will increase its presence in China. “We are hoping that the Hounds of the Baskervilles will be an incredible success in China,” he adds. “We are hoping to bring a series of Sherlock productions to you.”

Looping on Thin Ice

The Provocative Art of Inci Eviner BY Zoey Zha

Last month, Pearl Lam welcomed acclaimed Turkish artist Inci Eviner for her first solo exhibition in Asia. Known for touching on social issues in her works, she notes that much of her inspiration is generated from her daily life. It's part of her belief that art should empower viewers with aspiration rather than exist solely as pure visual appreciation.

orn in Ankara in 1956, Inci Eviner graduated from the Painting Department of the National Academy of Fine Arts, Istanbul and completed her Ph. D degree later in Mimar Sinan University. Known for her insightful artistic expression, Eviner never hesitates to wield the power of her art, using it as her voice in approaching challenges that the world faces. “I started drawing when I was very little. The moment I held a drawing pen in my hand, I couldn't let go.” she says, wearing a proud smile on her face. “Drawing is important and the most fundamental step in creating all my works. I could spend hours in my studio, putting the wildest image in my mind on paper.” Her current exhibition, Looping on Thin Ice, featuring installations, videos and drawings, reveals the artist’s concern of the long existing social issues in her country including gender issues and the hard life of migrants. As desperate as these issues can be, Inci doesn't hold back with her artistic response. 4 6 | o c t o b e r 2 0 1 6 | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

One of the exhibited video works, 'Something Bad Happened to Me,' shows two girls motioning in seemingly different spaces – one keeps chanting on the left and the other dances eccentrically and silently in a tongue shaped costume. As the chanting goes from low to high and the rhythm speeds up, the other girl suddenly transforms into a street dog. Though this peculiar twist might amuse the audience, the artist’s intention for her most recent piece is to represent “both happy and sad moments." The message of these symbols pop – staged space, theatrical performances and tongue – clearly and directly presenting her message. If not, the artist’s narrative will guide viewers through. They threw the woman’s tongue into the garbage… Now the centuries will cover it Something bad happened to me, You’re separating my nails from their flesh, …

galLary | ARTS

Another detail that is hard to miss is the reappearance of that street dog in different works. Eviner explains that stray dogs are everywhere in Istanbul and people enjoy playing with them, embracing them as part of their lives. It’s an indispensible element that incorporates the reality of her daily life. “I don’t mind people putting labels on me as a female artist from Turkey,” she says. “It’s the world that has problems and it’s not quite fair to blame it on specific groups. Since art is a universal language, I hope that through my works, the audience can relate and think about the importance of self-identity.”

Shenzheners

Human Stories in an Anonymous Metropolis BY Bailey Hu

henzheners, a newly translated collection of fictional vignettes by Chinese writer Xue Yiwei, begins with the story of a Canadian expat. She’s a self-described “country girl” who’s always felt out of place in crowded urban areas. That is, until a fateful encounter with a Chinese man who tells her for the first time about a “very special city, the youngest city in China.” He’s talking about Shenzhen, of course. The metropolis is the organizing theme behind the nine short stories in the book, each of which follows one or two characters as they go about their daily lives. The chapters are named simply, from the opening ‘Country Girl’ to ‘The Dramatist,’ and even ‘The Mother’ and ‘The Father.’ In both title and structure, Shenzheners draws inspiration from James Joyce’s Dubliners, a collection of short stories based on a similar premise. But where Joyce populates his prose with memorable quirks of his Irish hometown, Shenzhen seems to be barely present in Xue Yiwei’s book. The actual name of the city is only mentioned once, and in passing at that. Instead, lives unfold against the backdrop of an anonymous urban landscape. There’s turmoil, angst and sexual tension to be found here, a lot of it inside the characters’ heads. In one story, a neglected housewife becomes obsessed with a man in her neighborhood whom she watches from her apartment window. In her words: “I fantasized that he would reach towards my corner of awkwardness from another planet. And I fantasized that I would hear his breath and my own as well, and our breaths would meet in a perfect fusion, like water and milk.” Not all the drama is internalized, however. In the story ‘Two Sisters,’ a woman tells her younger sibling that she’s finally

Shenzheners represents the first time Xue Yiwei’s work has appeared in English. Although the writer has lived in Montreal, Canada, for the last 14 years, he consistently writes in Chinese for a mainland audience. He’s been recognized for his work too: Shenzheners won a Most Influential Chinese Book award when it was first published in 2013. Xue’s current life as an expatriate could explain why he chose to start his book with a foreigner going to China. In Shenzhen, the Canadian country girl is a stranger in a strange land. She finds herself disoriented and continuously disappointed in her search for intimacy. The thread of isolation that flavors her story runs throughout the entire book, leaving the reader with a faint taste of loneliness at the end. > shenzheners is available on amazon.

as over the top; it’s melancholy, not melodramatic. Most of the stories are told in the third person or from an outside observer’s perspective. That narrative distance, plus translator Darryl Sterk’s spare prose, makes for an overall understated style.

Cover Story

China’s Bitcoin Revolution Noelle Mateer Holly Li additional reporting by Emma Huang and Xinyu Li words by

graphics by

hen Eric Mu says that the village of Moyu in western Sichuan is remote, he means it. Culturally more Tibetan than Han, the tiny settlement sits in a valley among soaring mountains and deep gorges. The village is only connected to neighboring communities by a rickety suspension bridge, which wobbles above river rapids below. Mu crossed it once. He’ll never cross it again. It was terrifying, he says. Life in Moyu is slow. When Mu is there, he runs – passing along winding roads and through tunnels that pierce the mountains, some as long as 3 kilometers. His coworkers entertain themselves with mahjong and smartphones. Some of the villagers grow corn. Industry in Moyu has also been slow. A hydropower plant was built years ago near the waterfalls that crash down from the steppe. The plant’s engineers had hoped to sell their hydropower to the national grid, but demand wasn’t as high as they’d projected. The plant made barely enough money to pay staff wages. »

Cover Story

So when Mu’s employer, HaoBTC, pitched the idea of building a bitcoin ‘mine’ that would run on the town’s ultra-cheap hydroelectric power, local reception was positive. It didn’t matter that the managers at the plant had no clue what bitcoin was. It was bringing money, and it was bringing jobs. Local government officials were pleased. A few months later, rural Moyu became home to previously unimaginable tech power. It is just one of a growing number of Chinese villages hosting massive bitcoin mines – sprawling complexes of computer servers dedicated to obtaining bitcoin, the world’s first tradeable ‘cryptocurrency.’ While the industry surrounding bitcoin – or the “currency of the Internet,” as Mu puts it – is global, China is taking the lead. In Moyu – and in digital mines throughout the world – thousands upon thousands of mining computers run simultaneously inside a colossal warehouse. Bitcoin is a fully decentralized currency, which means that no single institution or government controls it. Instead, the underlying technology of bitcoin, known as the blockchain, is powered by volunteers around the world who offer up their computers to keep the chain functional and secure. These volunteers are the miners. “I don’t know where the phrase ‘mining’ comes from, but it’s probably because bitcoin is designed to mimic gold,” says Mu. “It has some of the same features as gold – a finite market supply, for example.” The blockchain system provides an incentive for miners: Each day, it releases a certain number of bitcoins and distributes them proportionately among users based on the amount of computing power they have contributed. In short, the more power you have, the more bitcoins you’ll receive. For miners, it’s a simple equation: The faster the computers and cheaper the electricity, the higher the profit margin. “People are buying more and more machines, and they’re getting larger and larger,” says Mu.

"People keep buying more and more machines, and they’re getting larger and larger. Some people call it an arms race"

“Sometimes [people] call it an arms race.” HaoBTC is no exception. Chinese companies mine more bitcoin than any others, and HaoBTC accounts for five percent of global mining, according to the online bitcoin resource blockchain.info. “The noise is nerve-wracking,” says Mu of life inside the mine. “It feels like a million bees buzzing around your ears non-stop. Although it’s hot, curiously you don't sweat at all, because all those powerful ventilation fans create strong airflow. I assume it feels a bit like a hot and windy desert, not that I’ve ever been to such a place.” The best mining computers run on 1,300 watts – roughly the same energy consumption as an electric heater. “But that’s just one,” says Nishant Sharma of Bitmain, the Beijing-based company that produces the world’s leading mining computers. “[Mines] have thousands of them. Imagine the kind of cooling you would need to make sure they don’t burn.” Then imagine how much electricity you’d need to power all the computers and the fans. This is where China excels, as a tech-savvy country with access to cheap power. (“Mining is big in China because the costs are very competitive compared with the rest of the world,” explains Mu.) »

Cover Story

Sharma’s employer, Bitmain, also runs mines across the world – in Canada, Iceland and China. Sharma says his company originally invested in places where coal was cheap – primarily Shanxi and Inner Mongolia – but later shifted to hydropower in the Western mountains like HaoBTC did. But in Beijing, where the company’s offices are based, it sells the most advanced bitcoin mining computers on the planet. “Nothing in the world has that kind of computational power,” says Sharma. He first got into bitcoin in Shenzhen (he had previously been living in Guangzhou, where he worked for an LED manufacturer), but his interest in the industry led him to China’s capital or as he calls it: “The Silicon Valley of the world when it comes to bitcoin.” Mining isn’t the only way Beijing’s businesspeople are profiting from cryptocurrency. The world’s largest bitcoin exchange, OKCoin, is also based here. There are hundreds of exchanges that allow partipants to buy and sell BTC in different currencies worldwide, but OKCoin currently carries out more daily trade than any of them. At the time of publication, it had facilitated more than RMB49 billion’s worth of bitcoin trade in the 30 days prior, according to industry statistics site bitcoincharts.com. Chinese bitcoin traders outnumber

by a staggering margin. Currently, 93 percent of all bitcoin trades are with renminbi. OKCoin accounts for 76 percent of these transactions. While Bitcoin’s value fluctuates more than most currencies, it has become more valuable in recent years, rarely dipping below USD300 per coin since 2013. Many Chinese bitcoiners both invest in the currency and trade it. One person who profited from the trade is Neil Woodfine, who was working in China after graduation when a friend sent him an article about bitcoin. With a bit of money saved in the bank, he decided to invest – just two days before the now-famous 2013 price jump. “[My investment] went from 190 US dollars all the way up to 1,200,” he says. “By the end of that month the price started to crash again, but I was already completely obsessed, so it didn’t matter.” Later that year, Woodfine got a job at OKCoin. Today, he runs Remitsy, a Beijingbased startup that makes it easier and quicker to send money abroad by using bitcoin. “We use bitcoin as the middle step when converting currencies into renminbi,” he explains. “So if you’re a business and you want to buy, say, plastic cups from China, we receive your US dollars, convert them immediately into bitcoin, and then sell the bitcoin in China. Then we’ve got renminbi. We deliver the renminbi quickly and cut out that huge network.” The network Woodfine refers to is SWIFT – the bank-sanctioned system traditionally used to send money abroad. SWIFT’s international payments can take days or even weeks. With bitcoin, they take minutes. Woodfine attributes Beijing’s dominance in China’s bitcoin industry to “the fact that the internet industry is so strong here.” “If you look at the startups, most of them are in Beijing,” he says. “In any internet startup hot spot, you’ll find people using bitcoin.” Remitsy’s offices are testament to this. Woodfine rents desks for his small team in Tech Temple, a co-

that offers cheap office space to hundreds of tech-minded entrepreneurs. On workdays, the space hums with activity – and by ‘activity’ I mean young people in T-shirts and jeans typing furiously at their computers. On my first visit, the music at the in-house cafe is so cinematic that it seems like an intentional soundtrack to the entrepreneurs’ ambitions. Woodfine’s own ambitions have a certain flair. He’s a skilled orator when describing his company, regularly pounding his fist on the table for emphasis. It’s clear that bitcoin entrepreneurship isn’t just something he’s been talking about for a long time – it’s something he’s passionate about. Outside of Woodfine’s (very long) work hours, he runs an Englishlanguage bitcoin meet-up alongside Mu, which gives him the chance to talk to bitcoin enthusiasts who work outside the industry. In Beijing, he says, bitcoin is becoming more mainstream. “Slowly but surely, more and more people are buying bitcoin,” says Woodfine. “People like you have got some bitcoin now.” He’s right. In the course of reporting this story, local entrepreneur Brendan Gibson, a friend of Woodfine’s, convinces me to download a virtual wallet (read: iPhone app). To see how the process works, I download Blocktrail from the App Store. Within five minutes, Gibson has sent me BTC0.0060 (RMB23.50). Each bitcoin is infinitely divisible, and at the time of publication, one bitcoin was equal to RMB3,858.33. Unlike Woodfine, Mu or Sharma, Gibson does not work for a bitcoin exchange or mining company – he’s just an enthusiast who believes in the currency’s promise of institutionfree banking and anonymity. In his own, non-corporate way, he’s raising awareness of its benefits. “I’ve probably helped over 100 of my friends set up bitcoin wallets,” he says. (Moments later, he helps our photographer Holly get started.) »

Gibson’s distrust of banks stems from the 2008 financial crisis, when he was working in home loans at Bank of America. “I was part of that mortgage crisis, front and center,” he says. Gibson’s online businesses accept bitcoin, and on a recent trip to Spain he used a special debit card that allows him to spend bitcoin wherever Visa cards are accepted. However, regular bitcoin spenders are still rare in China, where many places don’t even accept credit cards, let alone virtual currency. It’s still wildly impractical to buy your coffee with it. For China-based bitcoin enthusiasts, it’s much easier to invest. An investor I speak to in Anhui, Xu Jian, says: “I invested most of my assets

just a currency,” Liu says. OKCoin recently launched OKLink, a service that uses the blockchain – the infrastructure behind bitcoin – to connect companies and financial institutions from around the world. The blockchain keeps a digital record of all bitcoin transactions that have ever occurred, making the coins nearimpossible to forge, or “double spend.” “We view the blockchain as a trust machine,” says Liu, explaining that blockchain technology would enable the OKLink team to connect financial companies “behind the scenes” – resulting in a platform that would serve as a faster, easier alternative to SWIFT. Bitcoin technology is rumored to be the next big development in the

in bitcoins. I am not using it daily – there's not much use.” As Chief Strategy Officer of OKCoin, Jack Liu is invested in investing, but believes there’s much more to the currency than that. Over the past three years, he has helped grow OKCoin into China’s largest bitcoin exchange. Today,

financial tech industry. A report published last month by the World Economic Forum states that “this technology has the potential to ‘live up to the hype’ and reshape financial services.” “I’m excited to see more innovation come out of Beijing. I think it’s on the way,” says Liu. “Within the

however, he’s looking to the future. At OKCoin’s Beijing offices, some of the most forward-thinking innovation in the global bitcoin industry occurs. “It’s a bit limiting to think of it as

bitcoin community, the focus has so far been on Chinese mining and Chinese exchanges. But as that ecosystem built up over the past two or three years, it’s grown more entrepreneurial.” »

Liu is visionary, but also intensely meticulous, pausing and reexplaining concepts, intent on my fully understanding blockchain’s potential to revolutionize finance as we know it. I’m amazed to learn he’s only 28, even though under-30s are common in this ultra-young industry. “There is a lot of money, a lot of computer scientists, and a lot of young passionate entrepreneurs,” says Jelena Strelnikova, a compliance officer at exchange company Allcoin. “It feels that almost everything is

possible here in China.” Ultimately, it’s this optimism toward the future that keeps bitcoiners going. Mu has now made three trips to Moyu, the longest of which lasted three months. When he’s home in Beijing, he works at HaoBTC’s Haidian offices, hangs out with his laptop at The Bookworm, and runs meet-ups alongside Woodfine. The mining doesn’t stay in Sichuan. Mu runs a tiny operation, with just one computer in his home. It’s not remotely on the scale of HaoBTC; it’s merely an

experiment, something he does for fun. HaoBTC will have to replace its computers every year if it wants to keep up with the pace of development. For Mu, that means more trips to Moyu. A couple of weeks after our chat, that’s exactly where he is. “I think a two-week retreat away from crowded and polluted Beijing is still nice, despite the noise and isolation,” he writes in an email from the village. In Moyu, he’s a far cry from the tech hub – and the bitcoin hub of the world – that is Beijing. But that’s OK. For Mu, this isn’t just a job; it’s a passion. “In my old job as a media researcher, I didn’t see any future. I saw a dead-end. But this space is so new and so unpredictable,” he says. “The future is infinite.” █

A Conversation Could Change A Life Lifeline Shanghai, an Englishspeaking helpline service, believes that talking helps. To help people connect, the organization has joined forces with R U OK?, an Australian suicide prevention charity, to launch an important community awareness campaign. It encourages all of us to approach someone who we may be concerned about with the question: ‘Are you ok?’ Lifeline hosted a range of workshops in September to go along with this theme, in which participants learned how and when to approach someone who appears to be struggling and, importantly, and developed the skills and confidence needed to know what to say and do. These practical skills can be applied in both personal and professional situations, and workshops are designed for people of all ages. A final R U OK Day will be held on October 21 to celebrate the impact that these skills can have on others. > www.lifeline-shanghai.com

Dealing with Infantile Colic

How Best to Comfort Your Baby By Dr. Richeller Yling

Being a new parent can be stressful, and when your baby is colicky, that stress can grow to another level.

nfantile colic is a common problem in babies, and concerns many parents, especially first timers. When the crying becomes excessive, incessant and inconsolable, it can bring undue stress to parents and even doctors. Colic is defined using the ‘rule of three’: When an infant who is well-fed and healthy cries for more than three hours, more than three days per week, and for more than three weeks. The episodes are sudden and almost always occur at the same time of day, usually late afternoon or evening. Most statistics show that colic appears in five to 25 percent of infants, and can happen to both boys and girls. It usually starts at around two to three weeks after birth, improves after six weeks, and usually disappears by the fourth to sixth month. With no established cause for infantile colic, there are many theorized causal factors: Gastrointestinal Accumulation of gas in the stomach and bowels has been pinpointed as a cause of colic. Gas distends the stomach and intestines, causing discomfort to the baby. Hyperperistalsis (the muscle movement process that pushes food in a wave along the digestive tract) may also be the cause of cramping.

Psychosocial Fear, frustration or even excitement can lead to colic. However, there is no proof or connection that colic is a sign these babies will have bad temperaments later in life once it disappears. 6 2 | o c t o b e r 2 0 1 6 | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

“It is important to remember that colic does eventually go away in all babies, so parents can rest assured that it is only a phase” Neurodevelopmental The fact that colic typically disappears when the baby is around four months old may support the idea that it has something to do with the early development of the nervous system.

How to Diagnose Infantile Colic As there is no identifiable cause for colic, a physician must give the diagnosis only after ruling out other potential issues. Around five percent of babies who cry excessively turn out to have problems with other parts of their bodies. Newborn babies who were sick at birth and admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), like the one we have at Shanghai United Family Hospital and Clinics (SHU), can sometimes be more prone to episodes of colic. NICU staff will make sure that problems with colic are taken care of and that complications are treated.

How to Comfort Your Baby As there are no specific proven treatments for colicky babies, it won't hurt to try to comfort them using the ‘5 S’ approach:

1. Swaddling. Some babies feel comfortable when swaddled, but avoid overheating and covering the head. 2. Side or Stomach position. Place the baby in these positions only when awake, as sleeping on the stomach can put your infant at risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). 3. ‘Shhh’ sound. Making a ‘shhh’ sound near the baby’s ear helps calm them down. Singing lullabies, using ‘white noise,’ playing soothing music accompanied by parental attention (eye contact, talking, touching, playing) or even riding in a car may also work. 4. Swinging. Swing the baby with tiny jiggly movements, no more than one inch back and forth, while always supporting the head and neck. 5. Sucking. Let the baby suck on a breast or pacifier. Infantile colic can be a major cause of parental distress, but supporting and comforting your baby should be tried first before subjecting them to laboratory tests. It is important to remember that colic does eventually go away in all babies, so parents can rest assured that it is only a phase. Please consult your doctor for further care.

Proud to Be

More Than Aware Changing the Lives of Women Diagnosed with Breast Cancer in Shanghai By Alyssa Wieting

ll around the world, October signifies one thing: breast cancer awareness. Whether you are someone’s parent, sibling, or grandchild, it is pretty likely that breast cancer has affected you in one way or another. According to the World Cancer Research Fund International, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women around the world, making up about 25 percent of all female cancer cases. Nearly 1.7 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012 worldwide, with 53 percent of cases found in developing countries. Although breast cancer awareness may be more prevalent in the West, China is no exception to being affected by this deadly disease. While you may regularly see pink ribbons proudly displayed on women’s bags and shirts back home at one of the many fundraising events for breast cancer research, it is less common here in Shanghai and Asia at large. However, as more awareness is being raised among Chinese people, organizations are beginning to pop up to help the community cope with this new information – More Than Aware is one of them. More Than Aware is an organization started by a group of expat women here in Shanghai in 2011. While many organizations take on the medical prevention side of breast cancer, this one has a different approach. Suzanne Calton, Director and Founder, explains, “[We] take a different spin on breast cancer awareness than you usually see. We focus on lifestyle prevention and the recovery side of things.” With three main ‘pillars’ in their mission – Proactive Prevention (nutrition), Wellness from Within (emotional wellbeing), and Sisterhood Support (relationship focus) – the organization works to better inform women. “[These pillars] have a direct relationship with your overall health. It’s been proven that your relationships, a good diet, and good lifestyle can make you healthier, and that when you are in control of your emotions it can have a direct effect on your immune system.” With a green tail on the end of their pink ribbon, More Than Aware signifies a lifestyle of wellness along with breast cancer awareness. The organization is lead-

“

Becoming an active member of More Than Aware has saved my soul

”

ing the way to bridge the gap between awareness and living a well-rounded, healthier lifestyle to either prevent or recover from breast cancer. The Sisterhood Support pillar is perhaps one of the most significant aspects of More Than Aware, with ‘thriver groups’ for both expats and locals. Calton explains the importance of having a support group that really knows what you are going through. While families and friends can give support, no one really knows what having breast cancer is like until they’ve experienced it, and that is the purpose of the 'thriver groups.' “We replaced the word ‘survivor’ with ‘thriver’ because we are more of a proactive group to wellness as opposed to a reactive group,” she says. One thriver was diagnosed with breast cancer back in 2011, one year after moving to Shanghai. After returning to her home country for surgery, she came back to Shanghai to undergo chemotherapy and joined More Than Aware for support. She says, “Having been through cancer, depression, and a family about to disintegrate, becoming an active member of More Than Aware has saved my soul. I truly believe that with the faith and hope provided by this organization, I am not afraid of getting ill again. We learn how this sisterhood support of love nourishes our souls and makes us stronger.” She has been a thriver ever since. More Than Aware is filling up the calendar with events for October, promoting breast cancer awareness and creating energy around what wellness can do for those affected. Their most anticipated event of the year is the Women’s Luncheon, which will be held on October 27 at the Pudong Shangri-La. They’re expecting nearly 1,000 attendees from all different backgrounds to raise funds for women in recovery.

Green & Safe WIN! RMB300 vouchers for two

We've awaited its arrival with bated breath, and finally the moment for the Shanghai Michelin Guide has come. The first edition of the notorious little red book rained stars down on 26 restaurants in the city, though it was not without a few big names noticeablly missing from the selection. See our full coverage at www.thatsmags.com.

Well-timed for the changing seasons, there’s been an influx of bakeries into the city, and cold weather is a perfectly legitimate reason to carb-load if you ask us. In addition to Al’s Bakery, there’s now Lost Bakery, owned by the Lost Heaven group and situated in the same building as Lost Heaven Silk Road. Meanwhile on Jianguo Xi Lu, another new bakery, Bread Etc., has popped up. Run by French Israeli expat Stephan Laurent, this spacious yeast temple sells fresh breads, patisserie, and coffee, in addition to a very enticing brunch menu.

A new diner and cafe named Blue Feaster has also popped up in Jing'an. They’ve got a menu of gourmet burgers and other fast casual eats, as well as Australian-style ‘tower’ milkshakes, piled high with marshmallows, cream and strawberries.

We’ve also been hearing rumors that a third restaurant from Coquille and Scarpetta restaurateur John Liu will open soon. A collaboration with Le Baron boss Cody Allen, the new restaurant will be named 'Highline.' Funkadeli might have had to close their Yongkang Lu location, but the city can also expect to see a new, larger outpost soon, this time on Fumin and Xinle Lu. The opening is anticipated for late September. 6 6 | o c t o b e r 2 0 1 6 | www . t h a t s m a g s . c o m

Little Catch New Location in Jing’an Little Catch, a fishmonger who stole the appetites of seafood lovers with their enormously popular poke bowls, has made good on their promise of a new location. Situated on the second floor of a newly opened complex next to Naked Hub and opposite Zhang Yuan, the new venue is larger than the original location, offering seating for around 50 inside as well as delivery via Sherpas (yay!) Little Catch 2.0 offers customized bowls, in addition to a fancy new raw bar of sharing plates designed to be eaten alongside poke. We went for the half dozen house oysters and white wine combo (RMB168), but were eyeing up the LC seafood platter (RMB188), which includes salmon, scallop, shrimp, octopus, salmon roe, bread and seaweed butter.

Ruijin Cajun New Permanent Location in Jing’an Creole comfort food in Shanghai has a new home, and its name is Ruijin Cajun. Having long trodden the path of pop-ups, catering events and even shared digs with a local dive bar last year, proprietors Matt Rea and Nate Power have guided their Bayouinspired brand through the proverbial desert to a space of their own in Jing'an. Loyal Ruijers will recognize old favorites like the swamp dog (RMB50), a housemade Andouille sausage smothered in remoulade and crawfish étouffée (RMB50), chicken and sausage jambalaya (RMB40) and savory sausage cheesecake (RMB45). The larger kitchen has also allowed Rea (who takes care of the food, while Power provides the drinks) to play around with new menu items too, including an all-new ‘heart attack sandwich’ (RMB99) – that’s two beef patties betwixt two grilled cheese sandwiches. Only the brave need apply.

We can’t lie – delicious food is one of the main reasons we get out of bed every morning. But just once a year we get the opportunity to eat for a good cause and help others in need. It can only be Chi Fan For Charity (CFFC), AKA Asia’s most delicious philanthropic event. Taking place in Beijing, Hong Kong, and Shanghai for one night only (November 12), top restaurants across the city dedicate one table for 10 to the CFFC cause and put on a one-of-a-kind multi-course menu, which can be bought by any group of people. Afterwards, a legendary after party with free-flow drinks takes the celebrations long into the night. This year’s line up is nothing short of stellar, including some of our favorite chefs and restaurants, from high-end classics and veteran chefs to up-and-coming movers and shakers.

M on the Bund

Baoism

24-hour slow-cooked pork shoulder with yuzu radish slaw, steamed baos and pancakes Equally rooted in Cantonese and Shanghainese culture, Baoism’s chef-owner Alex Xu is undoubtedly one of the city’s brightest talents, bringing modern, chefdriven Chinese food with exceptional ingredients to the fore. For CFFC, Xu will be putting on a oneoff menu with influence from all over Asia. Dishes include crispy beet fries with lemon yuzu aioli, shiitake and porcini tortellini, poached salmon with dashi, dill, scallions and crispy tofu, and a juicy slow-cooked pork shoulder glazed with gochujang, sesame and scallions. Says Xu of the pork dish: “I love big cuts of meat that can be shared with friends, and my CFFC dinner is the perfect opportunity to do it. The pork itself is from a heritage breed of black pig – some of the tastiest in China – and I pair it with a zesty yuzu-spiked slaw salad to cut through the rich fattiness.”

Fillet of grass-fed Australian beef served on scalloped potatoes and sautéed spinach, with foie gras, mushrooms and truffles It takes a lot to keep the ephemeral tastes of Shanghai diners hanging on your every dish, but that’s exactly what Chef Hamish Pollitt has been up to at M on the Bund. Having helmed the M kitchens for 10 years now, the Sydney-born chef goes for classy yet satisfying meals that match the ambience of the restaurant. Chef Pollitt’s six-course CFFC menu is like a whirlwind tour of fine dining, dotted with gems like torchon of foie gras with salted caramel, plum preserve and brioche, pan-fried sea scallops with artichokes and lardons, the restaurant’s famous pavlova and a show-stopping Australian beef fillet with truffles and foie gras. Says Pollitt on his inspiration for the beef dish: “This is based on a French dish called ‘Tournedos Rossini,’ created for the famous composer Gioachino Rossini. The components are beef, truffle and foie gras over potato fondant and sauté of spinach. My parents took me to a very smart restaurant in Sydney called Bank for my 21st birthday (a while ago now!)

Jade on 36

Maine Lobster with herb and corn beignets, porcini espuma Stunning views of Shanghai are a given when dining at Jade on 36, situated at the top of the iconic Grand Tower of the Pudong Shangri-La. One of Shanghai’s longest running French eateries, the famous restaurant finds itself under the watchful eye of Jeremy Biasiol. But if you thought Biasiol would be a vanguard of old school French cooking, think again. Having forged an 11-year career cooking at Alain Ducasse’s Michelin-starred restaurants, Biasiol’s signature style takes classical French dining on a trip around Asia, creating modern dishes inspired by his travels. Guests at Jade on 36’s CFFC dinner will get a glimpse of Biasiol’s playful techniques in a luxurious sixcourse meal. One of Biasiol’s proudest creations to appear on the CFFC menu is freshly imported Maine lobster, with herb and corn beignets and a porcini mushroom espuma (foam). > 36/F, Grand tower, pudong shangri-La hotel, 33 Fucheng Lu, by Mingshang Lu, 浦东香格里拉大酒店, 富城路33号, 近名商路.

Steamed Crab Roe with Egg Whites Decked out in dramatic red interiors, Gui Hua Lou has been stunning Lujiazui diners for years, thanks to an inviting blend of Huaiyang, Cantonese, Shanghainese and Sichuan dishes, prepared by master chef Sam Gao. One showstopper from the exclusive CFFC menu is his steamed crab roe with egg white. Particularly apt for those who love crabs but can’t be dealing with the fiddly mafan of eating them, the preparation of this dish preserves the pure flavors of the ingredients. “I see cooking as an art form,” says Chef Gao.”Using the freshest ingredients as my canvas, I am inspired to bring out pure flavors using delicate and deft strokes to create dishes that are reflections of nature’s gifts to us.” > 1/F, River Wing, pudong shangri-La hotel, 33 Fucheng Lu, by Mingshang Lu 富城路33号,浦东香格里拉大酒店,1楼, 浦江楼, 近名商路. open Mon-Fri, 11.30am-3pm (sat-sun, 11am-3pm), 5.30-10pm (6882 8888)

CFFC diners will also get a preview of The Cut’s soon-to-launch range of dry-aged steaks, as Head Chef Bolton Wu will be supplying two Australian Black Angus 1.2kg tomahawk steaks, each dry-aged in house for 30 days. However, it’s not all about steaks at this cool VOL Group restaurant. Other delights diners will be treated to include truffle beef carpaccio, from The Cut’s new menu. Featuring pickles, capers, truffle oil and truffle shavings, the pièce de résistance of this dish is the five-year aged Parmesan, which lends a rich umami flavor.

Mixed Grill Platter with Lobster, Rotisserie Chicken, Sausage, Dalian Snow Dragon Beef Once again under the watchful eye of progressive Swiss-Canadian Executive Chef Rolf Knecht, On56 is putting on a classic steakhouse grill menu for CFFC diners. The self-professed “tree-hugger” chef is a stickler for sustainability, and puts premium traceable ingredients in his dishes. “For me, this showcases what On56 does best: grilling and roasting. This is one of the purest ways of cooking – if you have inferior ingredients, there is nowhere to hide. We pride ourselves on the quality and traceability of our materials, using New Zealand lamb, chicken from Chongming Island and Snow Dragon beef from Dalian. My ultimate goal is to source everything on our menu from the very best sustainable and natural farms in China, and change people’s perception that locally grown ingredients are lesser than imported ones.”

Steamed fish with 50-Year aged yellow wine sauce and shrimp dumplings At Grand Hyatt’s in-house Shanghainese restaurant, Club Jin Mao, Head Chef Beck Chen has devised a luxurious menu that touches on Cantonese traditions too. Just like sister restaurant On56, Club Jin Mao’s menu is chock full of natural ingredients sourced from China. One example is steamed fish with scallions and yellow wine sauce, which uses non-farmed fish caught in Ningbo. Chef Chen explains that they simply use whichever happens to be the catch of the day, meaning it could be trout one day and carp on another. A riff on the classic Cantonese dish qingzheng luyu (清蒸鲈鱼), Chef Beck uses a 50-year aged yellow wine in the sauce, giving the dish a beautiful aroma that allows the fish’s pure flavors to shine through. Dotted around the side are light and juicy shrimp dumplings, with a touch of celery and sesame oil. > 86/F, Grand hyatt shanghai, Jin Mao tower, 88 century avenue, by hua Yuan shi Qiao Lu 世纪大道88号金茂君悦大酒86楼, 近花园石桥路. open daily 11.30am-2.30pm, 5.30-10.30pm.

Hai by Goga

Kampachi Sashimi with Truffle, White Soy and Chili Aptly named for its sky-high perch atop the Shanghai Education Hotel, Chef/Owner Brad Turley’s eatery is a glorious love affair between Californian and Asian cuisine. We could wax lyrical about the rooftop patio’s low-key charms and its incredible sunset views, but it is really the generously portioned, packed-with-flavor food that sets this restaurant apart. Part of Turley’s talent lies in his ability to create dishes that pay homage to his favorite culinary inspirations without being derivative. One example of this you’ll see on the CFFC menu is his twisted tribute to a dish by Japanese master chef Nobu Matsuhisa (of Nobu restaurant fame). Here, fresh kampachi (Almaco jack) delicately intermingles with white soy and aromatic truffle oil, each slice topped with a fiery green chili. As for the rest of the menu, Turley promises an “all-out celebration of reef, beef, Champagne and cocktails.” Sounds unmissable to us. > 7/F, 1 Yueyang Lu, by dongping Lu 岳阳路1号7楼, 近东平路.

The Nest

'Cup O’Veggies: Fall Version' ollowing the success of popular Nordic-inspired gastrolounge The Nest, head chef Freddy Raoult has emerged one of the city’s most watched chefs. Having spent years cooking in Finland, Raoult interprets Nordic cooking techniques that fit with the Scandinavian theme. You’ll experience this in his modestly titled dish ‘Cup O’Veggies: Fall Version.’ Here, Raoult dehydrates slices of garden vegetables, and reanimates them by pouring over a piping hot mushroom broth. The aroma from this dish is absolutely mesmerizing – it’s hard to believe you’re not inhaling the scent of freshly cut vegetables. “Back in Finland, spring is a very fleeting season,” Raoult explains. We’d preserve seasonal vegetables by dehydrating, and put them to use in long autumn and winter months. The beets in this give it its vibrant color – my reimagining of a traditional borscht soup.” You can also expect heartier fare on The Nest’s menu, including blue fin tuna tartar, dark chocolate mille feuille, grilled Icelandic scampi with ‘almost burnt’ cream (an off-menu dish exclusive to CFFC), and slowcooked short ribs with watercress and pear. > 6/F, 130 Beijing dong Lu, by Yuanmingyuan Lu 北京东路130号6楼, 近圆明园路 Nearest metro: Nanjing dong Lu, 10 mins. sun-thu 5.30pm-12am; Fri-sat 5.30pm-2am (6308 7669) 7 2 | o c t o b e r 2 0 1 6 | www . t h a t s m a g s . c o m

West Coast-style Clam Chowder CFFC diners can also enjoy Raoult’s cooking at The Nest’s sister restaurant, The Cannery.

In addition to scallop carpaccio, giant battered beach oyster, and slow-cooked shortribs with bourbon barbecue sauce, Raoult will also be featuring a hearty dish hailing from San Francisco: clam chowder with Canadian clams, pancetta and oysters. “In preparation for opening The Cannery, Mark sent me to San Francisco to research the perfect West Coast-style chowder,” says Raoult. “The trick is to use a sourdough freshly baked that day – anything less and the dish is impossible.

Dining with the Demon

Chef Alvin Leung on His New Shanghai Restaurants BY Dominic Ngai

“I want to do something that makes China proud”

nown to the restaurant world as the 'Demon Chef,' Alvin Leung has made a name for himself with his three Michelin Star Hong Kong restaurant Bo Innovation, and his creative ‘X-treme Chinese’ cuisine, where he interprets traditional dishes through the use of molecular gastronomy to push the boundaries of what food should be. The Hong Kong-based chef who was born in London and raised in Toronto, recently announced two restaurant concepts in Shanghai – Bo Shanghai (open since September 1) and Daimon Bistro (to be unveiled mid-October). “Shanghai is a major destination for international chefs. [Opening a restaurant here] is something I started thinking about many moons ago,” says Leung. “I got to know the owners of the building and they wanted to rebrand the complex with predominantly Asian concepts, which is unique from all the other buildings along the Bund.” But unlike many of his fellow international chefs who came before him, the Demon Chef is gracing Shanghai with two restaurant concepts in the same space – both of which feature nearly entirely brand new dishes that aren’t served in his famed Hong Kong restaurant. At the front of the space is Daimon Bistro, serving a casual, more price-friendly menu of pan-Asian dishes with innovative twists and a Kowloon Walled Cityinspired décor. Hidden behind a wall at the back of the space is Bo Shanghai, which offers a multi-course tasting menu (RMB1,500 per person), created by Leung through pairing the eight Chinese regional cuisines with a foreign style, with French being featured on the inaugural menu. “To be able to do two separate concepts in one go is something special. Also, the layout of the space allows us to have a ‘hidden gem,’” Leung explains.

On its opening menu, Bo Shanghai takes you on a voyage that starts and ends with dishes inspired by Hunan cuisine and stops in Sichuan, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong, Fujian and Guangdong along the way. French elements are infused in each in a seamless manner. At one point, foie gras terrine is spiced with Sichuan pepper and garnished with pickled duck tongue and duck kidney confit. A slow-cooked egg is served with longjing tea-infused crustacean velouté and caviar. Cantonese-style zongzi is stuffed with salted duck egg yolk and Sarrade ham (instead of the usual Jinhua ham) and topped with heaps of shaved black truffle. “Bo Shanghai is very different from Bo Innovation in Hong Kong; Bo Shanghai is about all of China,” Leung says. Leung plans to update the menu every eight months with a different foreign cuisine, and believes that there are many distinct elements (culture, ingredients and techniques) to play with in each of the eight Chinese regional cuisines for the subsequent menus to come. He adds, “There are always challenges when you open something new, such as creating a menu based on the ingredients available and local preferences, but these challenges are no different than opening a restaurant anywhere else in the world.” “I want to do something that makes China proud,” the Demon Chef tells us. “It goes back to the reason I want to create a menu based on the eight Chinese regional cuisines, which are still relatively unknown to most of the world. I want to showcase the fact that Chinese food has much more variety and culture than the takeaway dishes you have in the West. In Hong Kong, I was able to do it in a way.

The Fellas Terrace

Views to Kill BY Betty Richardson

The Place Shanghai has certainly filled its quota of Italian restaurants, but glamorous and affordable rooftop bars? We're all ears. The Fellas, situated just shy of the Bund on Yan'an Dong Lu, does both of these things, and with a crazy good view of the Huangpu River. In the space that was known as Shen last year, proprietor Michael Ohlsson has teamed up with Goodfellas, an Italian restaurant on the first floor with a cult following (including yours truly) to bring the best of both to the venue.

The Food

Just like Goodfellas downstairs, The Fellas offers a short menu of straightforward Italian food, though things veer off towards luxury every so often. Ultimately, the quality falls a little short of the unpretentious deliciousness happening downstairs at Goodfellas, but there are a few gems to be found. One

of these is the pizza – hot, fresh, simple, and available from RMB98, particularly excellent value considering the Bund location. Sadly, they drop the ball with a lackluster platter of rubbery cheeses (RMB148) and under-seasoned seafood pasta (RMB128) – dishes that ought to be the bread and butter of Italian eateries. More luxurious options like the shrimp tartare (RMB138) and Siberian caviar (RMB208) don't offer much in the way of flavor either. Both feel like unfinished recipes in need of a tweak. However, positives to The Fellas include its long and relatively affordable list of exclusively Italian wines, which are curated by region. The cheapest we got away with spending was RMB368 on a bottle of Villa Bianchi verdicchio, which was balanced and delicious. Cocktails too hit the mark. The ‘Chongqing Mala-garita’ (RMB98), a zesty and vivaciously spicy Chinese riff on the margarita that uses Sichuan pepper and red chili, was among the best cocktails we've had this summer. 1.5/3

The Vibe Looks-wise, there are a good deal of culinary trip-ups The Fellas can perform without interrupting our opinion on this place as a venue. Long, elegant banquettes ring the perimeters, with low glass walls and tasteful bamboo hedges that don't get in the way of those views – even sitting at the back away from the main action is equally pleasant, as we found out. Seating inside offers less drama (as you'd expect, no doubt), and a more formal lounge-like atmosphere that revolves around a central bar. Service here also keeps up with the prices. 1/1

Value for Money

To borrow a phrase from a certain TV series, 'Winter is coming.' Whether The Fellas can retain its appeal once those magical al fresco Bund vistas become untenable seems up for debate. We reckon with a good happy hour and some tweaks to the menu they'll be a double threat, but for now we'll eat downstairs at Goodfellas and join The Fellas for drinks on the terrace afterwards. 0.5/1

TOTAL VERDICT: 3/5

Midnight Burger

Tasty Burgers at Hood Prices BY Betty Richardson

The place Recently opened on Huashan Lu, Midnight Burger is a neighborhood eatery that slings fries, wings and burgers at roughly Carl’s Jr. prices. With a slogan that reads: “Thug flavors that punch hard and don’t apologize,” we rolled up with high expectations and empty stomachs.

The house signature ‘Midnight Burger’ (RMB45) is a tidy little number, and rather good for its meager price. The patty benefits from a light dusting of cumin, and is cooked to medium. Add an egg for the princely sum of RMB5, and be sure to specify that you want it cooked runny for Instagram #yolkporn purposes. Surprisingly, it was the wholesome vegetarian burger (RMB40) that brought the most in terms of flavor. Packing sweet potato, quinoa, lentil, spinach and tomato in one bun, the secret ingredient is fresh mint, lending a zingy and fresh flavor. Fries are a little lackluster (though included in the price of your burger), but made delicious with the addition of Yunnan truffle mayo for RMB8. The chicken wings are also recommended for diners unburdened by caloric restraint; they’re coated in a bean curd crust and deep-fried to an enticing golden brown. 2/3

The Vibe

Being situated in an area with little foot traffic, Midnight Burger doesn’t have much in terms of atmosphere, thuggish or other-

wise. When the place does get full, the staff of exactly two are run off their feet and the backlog of orders pile up. 0.5/1

Value for Money

For local residents in the area, this place is a boon. Good quality, cheap hamburgers that’ll take you from cranky and ‘hangry’ to satisfied in under 45 minutes, and possibly for less than RMB50. 0.5/1

Total verdict: 3/5 Price: RMB45 Who’s going: young locals and expats Good for: cheap eats, snacks, hamburgers, casual dining

Han Tun Jia

A Taste of Grilled Meat in Korean Town By Tongfei Zhang

The Place Nestled deep in Hongqiao, home to Shanghai’s Korean Town, Han Tun Jia is a casual BBQ and hot pot joint with some seriously tasty and good quality dishes. The owner hails from the Chaoxian (Korean) minority, an ethnic group from Northeast China.

Koreans are known for their love of Iberico pork, a breed of pig hailing from Spain, and Han Tun Jia has plenty of the flavorsome meat on the menu. Choices range from pork neck (RMB39), cutlets (RMB69) and even intestine (RMB49) for the adventurous eaters among us. We opted for marinated pork (RMB39), and watched it sizzle on the blisteringly hot charcoal fire. Once cooked, wrap it in crisp lettuce with a dab of fermented bean sauce for a juicy bite of heaven. Equally good are the beefsteak (RMB128) and beef tongue (RMB60). The tender juiciness of the meat speaks for its freshness, and it isn’t greasy at all. Seafood lovers will also find plenty to entertain them; the restaurant keeps tanks outside for live octopus, prawns, saury, scallops and abalone. Typical Korean hotpots are also not to be missed. ‘Pickled veggie plus pork pot’ (RMB78/medium, RMB98/large) involves rice cakes, mushrooms, kimchi, ham, tofu, ramen noodles and chewy noodles with sweet and spicy sauce. Heated over an open flame, the soup bubbles cheerfully, integrating the hot, peppery and thoroughly addictive flavors into the ingredients. With all the heat emanating from the grill, we wouldn’t blame

you for choosing the cold buckwheat noodles instead, laden with brisket, kimchi and boiled egg. 2/3

The vibe

It's simple and spacious, so expect a full house during lunch and dinner hours. Waitresses are well-trained, and can take over the job of grilling if, like us, you’re too lazy. 1/1

Value for money

Our meal for two totaled just above RMB200, which considering the good quality, we handed over without reproach. Certainly there are many other restaurants of this caliber in Korean Town (almost too many to count), but until the day we try them all, we’ll recommend this place as a quality spot for meat lovers willing to make the trek. 0.5/1

Total verdict: 3.5/5

But it’s not all bad news; Le Café des Stagiaires will re-open their Wuding Lu location after a month-long renovation. The RMB10 Pastis happy hour lives on! Also newly installed on Wuding Lu is fellow Yongkang Lu alum Cape Grape, a wine bar specializing in South African vintages. They’re also unveiling a food menu to complement your tipple. Over in Bundland, The Waldorf Astoria’s ultra glamorous Long Bar is tapping into a somewhat less illustrious side of its history. Once the location of China’s first KFC (no kidding), they’ve a new special drink named the ‘Colonel’s Margarita,’ topped with crispy bacon. See also the new sweet ‘n’ salty ‘Seaman’s Fizz’ cocktail – a nod to the rugged captains and crews who once inhabited the Long Bar.

Tour

A Sip and Bite of Genius BY Josh Peachey

ucked away in United Valley (a newly opened F&B complex that loyal That’s readers will recall as the home of Shrine bar from our September issue) Tour is an intimate spot that offers a unique take on drinking. Specializing in pairing small bites with cocktails, the Torontonian front man Mack Ross is a shaman with spirits. Inside, a row of six bar seats position visitors within earshot of him. Ross’ conversation overflows with knowledge and banter, talking customers through the thought process behind each drink. Whether you’re an amateur or an expert drinker, he takes everyone on a geographical and historical tour with each order. Upon arrival, you’ll be handed a special menu so good that you can eat it, and we mean that literally. It's made from rice paper and customers are expected to tear it up and make either a sweet or savory miniature taco, by filling the paper with finely chopped peanuts topped with light mint chutney, or melted Hershey’s chocolate. This innovative nibble acts as a prelude to the running theme across the specials – an accompanying snack paired with the cocktails on offer. Highlights include a Negroni topped with a grilled cheese toasty (RMB80),

a whisky sour with a zingy lemon tart (RMB85) and the ‘Citrus Paradisi,’ topped with a scoop of baked coconut ice cream (RMB85). Sounds like a gimmick, apart from the fact that it totally works. Ross, who is creatively responsible for the entire menu, demonstrates his skills by successfully pairing experimental snacks with drinks that make perfect sense together. The bar has a lot more depth behind the specials, however, with 23 flights of over 100 liquors available. For RMB100, you can sample three different tasters of gins, whiskeys and rums among others. Referred to as ‘tours,’ ordering one of these reveals another glimpse into the world of distillery, and it’s easy to spend hours listening to stories from the bar’s alcohol virtuoso. We later learn that the bar’s main investor toured Scotland before returning to Shanghai adamant about opening a bar under the name ‘Tour.’ And that’s what you get. Whether it’s an Indian spiced whisky or a Dutch gin, there’s always something to excite and capture the imagination. A genuine passion is obvious, which any foodies and drinkers alike can appreciate. Price: RMB80-300 per person. Who’s going: Young expats Good for: Dates, catch-ups, peckish drinkers Room 104-105, Bldg e, 462 changle Lu, by shaanxi Nan Lu 长乐路462号集社e104-105室, 近陕西南路.

Can We Get An ‘Ooh Rah?’

Budweiser Storm EDM Festival

DM is a growing trend for China’s music fans, a fun and freespirited way for young people to cut loose once in a while, and live life on their own terms. Budweiser continues to strengthen its relation ship with STORM, the biggest EDM festival in China, to give fans the most epic experience possible. With even more interactive features that allow the audience to feel up close and personal with DJs and their music this year’s headliners are world-class. Here’s a preview of what’s in store:

Skrillex

The former punk singer is credited with popularizing dubstep in America, thanks to nasty-sounding anthems like ‘Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites.’ His Jack Ü project with Diplo scored this year’s Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Album and helped kick off Justin Bieber’s road to redemption thanks to their already classic single, ‘Where Are Ü Now.’

Hardwell

The Dutch big room house and electro DJ is one of five artists to repeat at the top of DJ Magazine’s fan-voted Top 100 DJ list. While he’s sitting at number two right now, Hardwell continues to push through new frontiers.

Oliver Heldens

The Rotterdam DJ and producer rose to prominence three years ago when EDM legend Tiësto signed him after hearing his single, 'Gecko.’ Currently ranked as the number one house DJ on DJ Mag’s hallowed Top 100 DJs list, Heldens has begun expanding his sound, releasing three hit bass house tracks under the alias Hi-Lo.

Alesso

From teaching himself how to make beats in his bedroom in Stockholm to scoring over 40 million Spotify streams for his Grammy nominated ‘If I Lose Myself,’ it’s been a wild ride for Alesso. With numerous Beatport-charting hits and sold-out shows around the globe, anticipation has grown to a fever pitch for the DJ’s forthcoming debut album, ‘Tear the Roof Up.’ For more information, visit a2storm.cn

hemed bars: we've come to accept that they're par for the course in Asia's bar scene. The latest one to hit the block is The Bunker, a new military camp-themed hidey-hole behind The Barn by Green&Safe in Xintiandi. From the same people who brought the city trendy drinking spots like Flask and Botanist, The Bunker makes 'progressive drinks' its modus operandi, and shaking them is Taiwanese mixologist Denny Chen. As with Botanist, The Bunker's drinks revolve around fresh elements, as opposed to conventional classics. To match with the military theme, they've given the drinks names like 'Sour Force,' and 'Cucumber Bootcamp,' while you can also find a selection of signatures from the old Flask menu. If cocktails aren't your MOS, they also do a long list of whisky by the glass. Handy if you're not about dropping 2k on a bottle of Hibiki. At its most interesting, The Bunker is doing things like infusing vodka with fresh seasonal fruits and herbs, seen in the sizeable 'Peach Punch' flasks (RMB95, vodka, fresh peaches, rosemary, cherry liqueur, licorice tea syrup, lemon juice, seen in prototype form below). Also thought provoking is the monochrome 'Morning Maneuver' (RMB85), a breakfast-inspired cocktail with a black tea base laced with clove, cinnamon, coffee and egg white. On the downside, we found that some of The Bunker's cocktails are a little too small and mild for their price point. After drinking the 'Watermelon Bunker' (RMB85), 'Mission Passion' (RMB80), 'Carrot Cake Conquest' (RMB90) in quick succession, we were worryingly sober. Stick to the stronger Flask signatures or straight whiskies if you fall into the 'non-cheap date' category, which sadly, we do. Vibe-wise, The Bunker is already a hit with the young local crowd, but not to the point where you'll struggle to find a table. The noise level doesn't get above conversational, and this bar is a quality choice for the usually tourist-driven Xintiandi area. Price: RMB80-250 per person Who's going: young locals, Taiwanese expats Good for: cocktails, dates, small groups, hangouts

CITY SCENES Speed Queen Opens Flagship Store in Shanghai By Jonty Dixon

Founded in 1908, US laundry service expert Speed Queen opened its brand new flagship store on the third floor of Carrefour in Shanghai’s Xujing area on September 9, marking an important milestone for the company’s new stage of expansion in China. Since end of 2014, Speed Queen has already established 20 locations in Shanghai and it plans to bring its self-service laundry services across the country. Rick Pyle, President of Alliance Laundry Systems – the parent company of Speed Queen – says that this new style of doing laundry is cheaper and takes less time than traditional laundry services, while still emphasizing on quality, hygiene, safety and eco-friendliness. Using state-of-the-art machines at its outlets, Speed Queen hopes that the cost effectiveness will provide an edge over its local competition in a country where only seven percent of the population have their own washing machine at home. Wet-cleaning expert Arnaud Guerin showed us around the new store and demonstrated a few techniques that the on-site laundry consultants will be providing to customers, including advice on fabric care and the ideal wasting process for various materials, and spot cleaning services for those hard-to-remove stains. With over a century of experience in the industry, Speed Queen’s aiming to open 2,000 outlets in China over the next decade, and the new flagship store is paving the way for this ambitious expansion plan. > www.speedqueen.com.cn

KABB’s Flavor Packed Autumn Menu Already revered as the perfect combination of a bar and restaurant, three branches of KABB in Shanghai have introduced a new autumn menu full of bold flavors and distinct takes on seasonal classics. Some of the highlights include KABB’s Red Curry Lamb Shank, a Thai-style dish that features lamb slow cooked in red curry gravy with vitamin rich superfoods kale, baby carrots and asparagus. The Braised Beef Cheek features 300g hunks of beek cheeks simmered alongside carrot, celery, onion and a deep port wine reduction for several hours as lovingly overlooked by KABB’s chefs. For those having difficulty with the end of BBQ season, KABB’s new Wagyu Burger is the perfect choice. Using world famous Australian Wagyu beef for the patty, the pan fried burger is served with melted cheddar cheese, arugula and smoky chipotle mayo on a ciabatta bun. Healthy highlights from KABB’s autumn menu include Shrimp and Salmon Risotto, which brings the creamy textured taste of Italy to Shanghai, as well as the Salmon Salmon Salad, mixing smoked and pan-fried variations of Norwegian salmon for varied textures and temperatures arranged with lime and chili infused Cheddar cheese, mixed leaves, asparagus and croutons dressed with homemade ranch dressing. For daring diners, the Roast Beef and Shrimp Salad is an innovative take on surf ‘n turf, pairing pink slices of roast beef with pan-fried shrimps, dried plums, Kalamata olives, walnuts and almonds tossed together in a cherry wine vinegar and horseradish dressing. Traditional season favorites like Roasted Pumpkin Soup with a touch of Mango are perfect to warm up, while the Chocolate Nut Ice Nougat is the perfect dessert to cap off a refreshing meal. In addition, three KABB branches will be offering autumn cocktails like the Pear Cardamom Martini, Gone With The Wind and Scarlet. Seasonal wines are also available from the sun-baked Australian Yalumba Y Series. > KABB Bistro Bar (Xintiandi), North Block House, 181 Taicang Lu, by Xianfu Jie 太仓路181号新天地北里 5号楼 (5465 3856) > KABB Bistro Bar (IAPM), LG1-142, IAPM Mall, No.999 Huaihai Zhong Lu, by Shaanxi Nan Lu 上海市徐汇区淮海中路999号LG1-142, 近陕西南路 (6448 3039) > KABB Bistro Bar (Jing An Kerry), Unit S1-04, S2-04, Jing An Kerry Centre, No. 1238 Yan'an Zhong Lu, by Changde Lu 上海市静安区延安中路1238号嘉里中心商场S1-04, S2-04室, 近常德路 (6237 8863)

NBA Playzone Provides Basketball Fun for the Family Ever since Yao Ming made history to become the first Mainland-born NBA All-Star, the league has enjoyed massive popularity in the country. With the Global Games returning to Mercedes-Benz Arena on October 9 and the regular season kicking off later this month, Shanghai families can indulge in their love of basketball at the world’s first ever NBA Playzone. Located in Xintiandi’s Hubindao Mall, the NBA Playzone is a 1,500-square-meter family destination, complete with 10 areas full of activities designed to “inspire young people across China to use the sport of basketball and the NBA to live healthy active lifestyles.” Digital interactive games like The Halftime Live are impressive for its technology - allowing the little ones to use shadows of their hands to shoot balls into a computerized net in a game that mixes a video game feel with physical activity. More conventional is the Rookie Challenge - a soft-play obstacle that will have the kids jumping, climbing, crawling and dunking. The Mascot Training Ground is an oversized jungle gym that will have children entertained for hours - full of slides, a ball pit and a mini zip-line course for the budding thrill seeker. For the older aspiring baller, The Arena area is roughly one-third the size of an NBA regulation court and designed to teach basketball fundamentals to the more serious player. Fans of all ages will dig the Measure-Ups area featuring the handprints, footprints and measurements of star NBA players like Kobe, Yao, Kevin Durant and more for fans to compare. The In the Paint area is an arts and crafts space while NBA-themed private party rooms are available for birthday parties and special events. The NBA Playzone offers a variety of packages like a RMB3,588 20-ticket value pack for one adult and one child and a RMB5,508 unlimited annual membership. Daily tickets are RMB188 on weekdays and RMB239 on weekends for one adult and one child, with an additional RMB50 for an extra adult. > 10am-8pm, RMB188 (weekdays) RMB239 (weekends) for one adult and one child.

Grape

Modern Shanghainese Since 1987 If you’re looking for an affordable bite to eat in a homely restaurant, Grape is the place to go. Located in the heart of the former French Concession, it’s ideal for a relaxed lunch before, after, or in between shopping at the nearby boutiques. The building used to be the priests’ lodgings and was attached to the Russian Orthodox Church next door, but it’s now a Shanghainese restaurant serving up a combination of local specialties and Western dishes. The interior design is clean, classy and elegant, offering tables of four, six, or even more with rounded sofa seating. Private rooms are available for meals with a large group. Sweet and sour ‘Mandarin fish’ is the main attraction for locals and expats alike. The fish came deboned, gutted and filleted and dressed in tangy red sauce. The chefs had managed to cut it into chunks and deep-fried it while keeping its fish shape with head and tail attached. It’s visually magnificent, and lots of fun to tuck into. Although the restaurant specializes more in Shanghainese dishes, the sliced beef main, a popular Chinese dish for Western customers, was flavorsome and moreish. It arrived sizzling on a hot plate ensuring visitors can fully enjoy the smell before they experience the taste of the finely sliced soft beef. Ever since the restaurant opened in 1987, it’s been a family business – the owner’s father and brother are both chefs. Staff are welcoming, quick and friendly and it’s a comfortable place to enjoy relaxing conversations friends or colleagues. The menu is also in English and we have local dishes that is suitable for foreigners. For vegetarians, we can provide the dishes as customers preference. For the local dishes, we can serve without the shell and bone according to the customers requirement. > 55 Xinle Lu, by Xiangyang Bei Lu, 新乐路55号，近襄阳北路. (5404 0486)

To start, we took a trip to Taranto with clams in a white wine sauce (RMB58), served with crusty, homemade Italian bread. The generous portion size means that it’s great to share with family and friends, with a well-balanced and delicate flavor. Ours were gone in an instant. For those who want a taste of Tuscany, make sure you get the Bolete risotto (RMB72). Unlike many risotto dishes in China, this one isn’t an overdone mush; the al dente bite was perfect. Meat-free but packed with flavor, this is a great vegetarian option for those who don’t want to settle for pizza or salad. If you’ve got room, the best is yet to come. Their desserts could be served straight out of a Milan café. The Tiramisu (RMB42) is the perfect foil to the feast before. It’s light and the coffee never becomes too overpowering, leaving a smile on your face to finish the evening. > 93-97 Zhixing Lu, by Zhengxue Lu 智星路93-97号, 近政学路. (6567 6760)

bullish China Shoppers Will Players Be Part of European Expansion? BY IAN WALKER

Former England international goalkeeper, Ian Walker played for Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City and Bolton Wanderers. In 2012 he moved to China to become goalkeeper coach of Shanghai Shenhua, before crossing the city divide to join Shanghai SIPG in 2014. Follow him on Twitter @ IanWalks1.

he mind-boggling investment in football by China is not limited to the Chinese Super League. This summer, English clubs Aston Villa, West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers all went into Chinese ownership, while a state-backed consortium took a significant stake in Manchester City last year (where President Xi Jinping famously took a selfie with Sergio Aguero – picture proof the deals are state endorsed?) It is not just England, either. Atlético Madrid and Espanyol in Spain, Lyon and Nice in France, Slavia Prague in the Czech Republic and both Inter Milan and AC Milan (dodgy bankers permitting) have either been bought or are controlled by Chinese investors. There seems to be no signs of it abating, either; Rupert Hoogewerf of the Hurun Report, publisher of the ‘China Rich List,’ states that he “knows at least three billionaires who are looking to buy English or Spanish football clubs.”

According to Hoogewerf, the motivation of many in buying is to boost the value of their company in China, as a European football club is valued higher as an asset in China than it is in Europe. The increased asset value then gives the company greater access to borrow-

Guochuan Lai wants to bring young

Chinese players to West Brom

ing. Good business, and hats off to them. But it could also have an interesting upshot football-wise.

When Guangzhou landscape development and construction magnate Guochuan Lai took control of West Brom, he suggested young Chinese players would be brought in and developed. This is a fascinating prospect. Chinese footballers playing in Europe is a rare thing; Li Tie, Sun Jihai, Zheng Zhi… you could count the names on one hand. It looked to be getting rarer still, too. As explained in a previous column, CSL clubs are allowed a maximum of four foreign players on the field. That means seven players on the pitch must be Chinese. As there is a finite number of top Chinese players, and with more and more money being pumped into the Chinese game, the value of those players has become overinflated.

The situation is such that they are worth far, far more to a Chinese club than they are in any other league in the world. Why would a European club pay over the odds for a Chinese player? They wouldn’t. But if Chinese owners of European clubs have a policy of bringing young Chinese talent with them, then suddenly the door is open. China has a an impressive plan to reform football – a 10-year, 50-measure directive that includes building two more national football training centers and establishing 50,000 special football schools by 2025. Add into the mix young Chinese players cutting

their teeth in Europe’s top leagues, and you may just have a recipe for that much longed for strong national team.

China already has one exciting young talent in Europe – 19-year-old Zhang Yuning plays for Vitesse Arnhem in the Dutch top flight. He made headlines in March when he became the first Chinese player to score in the Eredivisie. The benefit to China appeared to be immediate too – he followed that up with two goals against Trinidad and Tobago on his debut for the national team in June. Who knows, with Chinese acquisitions only increasing, Zhang Yuning may be the first of many blazing a trail in a brave new world for China’s footballers.
