Please ignore last comment!
Doh that is definitely not Sun Yat Sens house I went to in the 80s lol..im positive now I have seen all of your pics not just the first page!!. Off to google about Sun Yat Sen - thanks for the entertaining blog and love the "All white men look the same comment". Thanks for the heads up on the adopting western names..even if they are..different!

Thanks for the comment, Cindy! Maybe you really saw Sun Yat-sen's house, who knows. The former residences of revolutionaries and Communist party bigwigs are always very touristy attractions in China. Yep, some of those Western names were rather disturbing. Cocki? Holy fuck... Cheers, Jens

LOL all white men!
Haha that made me laugh. Another interesting point you answered for me is the adopting of western names..I thought someone at International Students with a warped sense of humour dealt them out names because ive had boys called Jane and many many burmese Victors and a chinese girl called Cocki...it all becomes a lot clearer now lol, thanks for clearing that up. Also re Sun Yat Sens memorial..is that his former home that was turned into a museum? I went there in 1986 and there were no souvenier sellers or stalls just a magnificent massive Camellia tree and a serene garden. Not sure if it is the same place that you are talking about?

All white men look the same....bahaaa!! Great blog. Your homestay experience is brilliant, with 'Emily'...when you travel you really do experience the stuff other people never see.

Thanks for the comment, Andrea! Looks like the stereotype works both ways, eh. I wish I would have some pictures of the homestay, but it didn't feel right to shove my camera in their faces, the parents were grumpy enough already anyway. :) Cheers, Jens

Hmmm...rape

Rape plant
There actually is a plant called Rape. An unfortunate name for it, in my opinion, because it has some very good health attributes, because its seeds are rich in omega 3 oil, which is something many of us are short of in our diets. It is called Raps Ol, in German. There probably should be a umlaut there someplace, and umlaut is probably spelled differently. Grammar, especially Germany grammar is not my area of strength. :)

Rape!
Thanks for the comment, Mell! :) I learned the thing with Rapsöl being rapeseed oil fron an article in an Australian newspaper a while ago. It said they had to change the name to the more politically correct sounding 'canola oil', and they thought this would boost sales as well. I never knew that you could eat dried rape plant, so I was quite happy to see it in China in a supermarket, full of rapey omega-3 goodness! :) Cheers, Jens

Bluntness
Um, thanks Bob! Was that sarcasm? It's sometimes a bit hard to tell on the internets... I'm quite a straight talker, though, and I don't like to mince my words, if that's what you mean. Thanks for reading and following! Cheers, Jens

As an 'expat of 2.5 years in china' myself, I absolutely loved reading your well-written blog, funny, anecdotal and very recognisable! Xie Xie

SHANGHAI
Great pics from Shanghai Museum...possibly the best museum in China. Check out under the Pearl Tower...in some ways even better. My first impression of Shanghai was it was a citywide competition to build the zaniest highrises...enjoy the ride.

Hi Dave, thanks for the comment. I didn't check out the high-rises this time, I was more caught up with eating, museums and sitting on the metro. Shanghai definitely needs more of one's time. Cheers, Jens

"The train actually turned around, somehow, at that stop where everybody rushed out, and I was supposed to switch to another train." --> that almost happened to me in Singapore, but then someone came to rescue...hehe. fun blog :)

Thanks, Tinnie! :) Yeah, by looking at the metro map, you would have never guessed that the train turns around. How is that even possible in a regular big city???
