China: Soms hoop je dat ze de doodstraf krijgen

han — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 12:21:04 +0200

Laat me maar beginnen met duidelijk te stellen dat in tegen de doodstraf ben. We kunnen er lang over uitweiden en wellicht zeer boeiende debatten over organiseren, maar ik ben er resoluut tegen.

En toch, soms wens je bepaalde mensen de doodstraf toe.

Shanghai calling August

This is the last letter about Shanghai for now. Yesterday I landed in Brussels after a total of six months in China. Not nearly enough for a comprehensive survey of China, but a good amount of time for a first experience.

What I will do next is yet to be defined. My head is filled with ideas and wants. For the immediate future I don't think it will be again in Shanghai, which by many not seen as China, thought I think it very much is an integral and defining part.

Wereldomroep (NL) telt de staatshoofden in Peking

Jo — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 03:02:54 +0200

Een ronduit goed artikel, dat kan je vaak lezen op de Nederlandse nieuwssite www.wereldomroep.nl. Waarom vind ik de artikels daar zo goed? Omdat ze meestal geen afzonderlijke nieuwsfeiten belichten, maar artikels plaatsen met een duidelijke samenhang, achtergrond en analyse.

Marina Brouwer heeft het in het artikel Wie ontbreekt in het Vogelnest? over een onderwerp waarover zowat alle media vandaag berichten. Maar Mevr. Brouwer doet dat grondiger dan de meeste andere media.

Shanghai calling June

Flavia — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 15:41:18 +0200

Dear all

The heat has been coming our way; hot and humid as many Shanghai veterans predicted me it would be with a sarcastic expression on their faces. Why oh why does it make people feel better to find out that yet another fellow human being is going to join them in a particular suffering? ... and this is just the beginning, July and August are the real deal.

On a more thoughtful note from Shanghai

Flavia — Sat, 10 May 2008 11:03:00 +0200

Many people have asked me about the Tibet, the reaction to the French and what I think of the Olympics. Firstly I am personally feeling the effect the China-bashing has had. It has become a good deal more difficult to get a visa, both work or tourist visa. Where previously you could make a trip to Hong Kong to get your paperwork done, now you now need to go back home. Or least officially you do. Friends have tried to go to the Chinese embassies in Japan and Indonesia and so far they have been lucky. No so for all, many are refused and need to go back home.

Good morning all from the city of the ever clouded sky

Flavia — Fri, 09 May 2008 10:54:03 +0200

I am sorry not to have written earlier, I know some of you have been wondering when the next one was due! Work has been more busy than usual as one consultant was travelling for three weeks and another was ill. But that was good for me as I got to do new assignments and learned more about the HR consultancy business.

Een namiddag in Shanghai

Flavia — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 12:38:55 +0200

Hier nog een paar foto's van een wandeling in Shanghai; ik zou graag nog meer mensen fotograferen, maar ik vind het altijd zo invasief. Misschien als ik een mondje Chinees zal kunnen, zal het gemakkelijk zijn. Dan kan ik tenminste eerst een babbeltje slaan. Heeft er iemand misschien wat tips omtrent het fotograferen van mensen in delicate situaties (met taal communiceren is dus nog geen optie)?

Hangzhou tea mountains

Dit is in de buurt van de beroemde en met (Chinese) toeristen (en hun auto's en bussen) overrompelde stad. Longjing is beroemd om zijn groene thee. Tijdens de vier uur durende wandeling zijn we tweemaal mensen tegen gekomen. Ik had het gevoel in bergen tussen Congo en Rwanda (ook beroemd om zijn thee) te zijn.

Morning walks, food and factory in Shangai

Freezing toes, freezing hands, but a big smile: that's me in China. Though the sun appears often enough, spring has a tough time making a full blown appearance.

My now daily morning walks with Clara have been mostly been blessed with beautiful sun light (not a given in this smog-city), but we wear gloves, a fleece, and I add a hat to that. You will see from the pictures that this is one of the best moments of the day for enjoying the cutting edge architecture and meticulously kept parks and flower beds of Pudong (the East (dong) side of the Huangpu River).
