post from felixwong.com on 06 January 2007 06:44:00 PM. © felixwong.com

Somewhere I read that the average American has only visited three states out of 50. Yes, three! After I read that I decided to count how many I have so far. Apparently I’ve been to 31. Just 19 more to go. More about this later! StateFirst VisitNotesAlabamaAlaskaArizonaSep 25, 2005ArkansasCaliforniaJun 26, [...]

Secret of Xintiandi Success

post from Mad About Shanghai on 06 January 2007 02:15:05 PM. © Mad About Shanghai

Xintiandi represents the modern collaboration between the Chinese government and private real estate developers.

The government provides some support, focus, and perhaps some funding. Smart developers sow the ideas, concept, estate, restaurants, bars and other high end developments

If you are well-placed (like Victor Lo has got the ideas and foresight), you make heaps of cash.

You can read how they started here.

Something about old Shanghai

post from Mad About Shanghai on 06 January 2007 01:13:43 PM. © Mad About Shanghai

There is something about old Shanghai.

A reader wrote to me for a picture from "In the Mood for Love" Sabrina & Brad posted.

Though the movie is shot in 1960s Hong Kong, the way it is shot (extravagant usage of rickshaws, ladies in qipao, and alleys [nong tang]) immediately draws an association with old Shanghai from the 1920s-1930s era.

Whenever I walked past these old alleys or come across those old Shanghai advertisement posters from that era, i couldn't resist taking a picture of it.

Apparently, I am not the only one. Heres someones that collected more than 500 originals.

Anyone into old Shanghai Jazz as well?

The government provides some general direction, focus, and perhaps some funding. Smart developers sow the ideas, concept, estate, restaurants, bars, and high end condos.
