When You arrive at China, need a local mobile phone

Cheap local calls

Roaming phone tariffs continue to be extortionate, so why drain your money when you can keep your personal phone offline and make calls with your Bespoke handset instead? Perhaps more importantly, having a local number in China makes it much easier (and cheaper) for locals to reach you as well. So whether you’re arranging meetings while here on business or you just need to liaise with your tour guide, you’ll eliminate local-international network restrictions and additional costs you could do without.

Ready to use right out of the box

No need to switch or buy sim cards, type in long-winded local numbers or worry about the hidden costs of every call you make. Every Bespoke Phone comes with 8 hours of preloaded credit on a local sim and pre-programmed numbers so it’s ready for action / to go from the moment you arrive.From:www.bjindependentlady.com/

Pre-programmed numbers

So you can quickly and easily call that restaurant we’ve recommended to make a dinner booking, or call a venue and pass the handset to your taxi driver to take directions. No more thumbing through guidebooks; no more frantic map reading, just plain sailing while others waste time doing things the old/usual way.

The soloist, replacing Lang Lang at short notice, was Alice Sara Ott, who gave the kind of gawp-inducing bravura performance of which legends are made.

Twenty-three year old German-Japanese pianist Alice Sara Ott has gained critical acclaim for her performances at major concert halls worldwide. At the age of thirteen, Alice was hailed the “Most Promising Artist” at the Hamamatsu International Piano Academy Competition, and two years later she went on to take the top prize at the Silvio Bengalli International Piano Competition as the youngest contestant.

Recent concerts have seen Alice perform with the Münchner Philharmoniker, London Symphony and Tokyo Symphony orchestras, San Francisco Symphony, Wiener Symphoniker, Bamberger Symphoniker, as well as the Philharmonia Orchestra, Rotterdam Philharmonic and Royal Scottish National orchestras. Alice has also toured with Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra under Daniel Harding and made her BBC Proms debut with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and Sakari Oramo in August 2011.
Forthcoming orchestral debuts include concerts with the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra, Euskadi Symphony Orchestra, Essen Philharmonic Orchestra and Tonkünstler Orchester, as well as returning to the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, NDR Sinfonieorchester and Danish National Symphony Orchestra. In summer 2012 Alice tours Japan with the hr-Sinfonieorchester and Paavo Jarvi, and will embark on a major European recital tour of venues in Paris, London, Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart, Nürnberg, Brussels, Zaragoza and Bilbao.

She made her debut at the Lucerne Festival in autumn 2010 and in summer 2012 she makes her first appearance at the Verbier Festival.

Every man needs to have that sensational woman in his life who can make him feel like a man. Though every man desires to attain that life where a beautiful woman can accompany him on those lonely weekends, not everyone gets to have that experience as time and the energy to invest in someone new may not be there for all. However, there is an alternative that is so incredible that no man will ever want to opt for the traditional dating by going in for a stunning escort who will deliver the exact kind of a date any man would desire.

Today the world has evolved radically and professional men who have high profile careers especially don’t have the time to mingle with members of the opposite sex for more than just professional purposes. In such a scenario often a man can become immensely lonely and reach a depressing state as he will have the kind of money that should be spent on a wonderful woman but he won’t have that woman in his life. This is exactly where a Beijing escort can step into the picture and take the position of the perfect woman in a lonely man’s life.

Getting an escort to accompany you will be a great idea as she will be able to engage you mentally, physically and also intellectually. These escorts will not only amaze one with their beauty and grace but they can also impress with their wit and knowledge that can get any man’s heart racing for more. Many times the escort can also act as fabulous guides of the city for tourists and can offer their unique company to a visitor who wants to explore the city with an interesting companion who has it all.

A great escort girl will be able to help a man in need of a good companion as she have an array of services that will make a man feel incredibly special. She will be delivered at the doorstep of the man so as to keep all their meetings discreet, the rates of these services will also be incredibly affordable and thus they can encourage any man to keep having great company on those weekends.

The girl will excite the mind with such vigor that it will remind the man of those teenage years when every new experience was remarkable. With such a great option, there simply is no need to call the buddies over for a lousy game with beer as the escort girl can make sure that a gorgeous woman is waiting at the door when needed.

What is the Difference between Prostitution and Escorts Service?  Both of them are Providing Services for Money !
History is full of stories of women who have pledged their lives to becoming the companions of important male figures. “Memoirs of a Geisha” recounts the story of such a woman. Well educated, talented and stunning ladies who chose to be beside powerful men, as ornaments as many have referred to them, than to live their own lives.

Maybe that was what fate had in store for them. Maybe it was because that was how they were born and that was what they were raised to become. These women are not prostitutes — and should never be mistaken as such. Rather they are escorts. History reveals that a prostitute used to be a highly respected person back in the old days; they were beautiful, well-read, and accomplished women.

The need to correct other people’s misconceptions about paid escorts and high class hookers stems from prejudice against women who are trying to earn a decent living. People who hire escorts should not assume that sex will be part of the package.

Paying a prostitute in return for an hour’s pleasure does not constitute companionship. To clear things up, the Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines an escort as a person accompanying another for whatever purpose, usually for protection or courtesy. Examples could be bodyguards, medical assistants and temporary secretaries.

One more meaning of an escort would be a person going out on a date with another — just like prom escorts. Even then, people just cannot bring themselves to accept that a lot of escort services do not offer sex as an option

Part of the blame for this must go to the escorts themselves. By this I mean especially those who offer more than an hour’s company as part of the company’s offering. The escort services did play a part in making people associate escorts with prostitutes. For companies who offer decent and straightforward services, escorts usually stay for an hour or two in a client’s home or hotel room to help entertain guests.

I have heard of wedding escorts, business escorts as well as holiday escorts. No matter what the venue, one can get hold of an escort for a certain fee. Even if intercourse happens between escorts and clients, it is really based on the discretion of the escort and not because it is part of the “package”.

This example should help us understand the basic difference between escorts and prostitutes. one of a my friends works as an independent escort . With the money that she makes, she takes care of the education loan that she took to pay for her tuition fees. Since she is smart, most of her clients opt to take her to business functions to help entertain corporate heads and foreign diplomats.

So it is not fair to equate the professions of prostitution and escorting because the two are vastly different.

hese are traditional Chinese courtyard houses, like what you typically see in those old Chinese films. Our first stop with tour guide Gao Jun was the Shichahai Courtyard Hotel. Just the experience of walking through the front gate is surreal because of you’re immediately transported back to a time of lantern light, stone steps, and ceramic vases. It’s beautiful. Traditionally, the courtyard would be open to the sky, but for the sake of modernity and keeping a comfortable temperature, a glass ceiling with vents have been added to the top. Although it somewhat takes away from the whole scene, I was quite happy to see the tiled roofs still intact. According to our tour guide, this used to be theXinghua Mansion, which belonged to an official during the Qing Dynasty. During the renovations, they took great care in preserving the old architecture and history. In the basement of the hotel, a piece of the ground is walled and glassed to preserve the artifacts they unearthed during the renovations.

During the renovations, the hotel added a whole wing downstairs that serves as a conference room with a lounge. Several office rooms fill up the other corner and both are filled with lacquered desks and scrolls of calligraphy lining the walls. It’s a beautiful twist of traditional design with modern thinking. The atmosphere at Shichahai Courtyard Hotel is surreal and for a few nights or even just one day, you can experience a traditional Chinese luxury with the benefits of today’s technology.

We continued our afternoon walking through the rest of the hutong and coming to a stop at the Shichahai Club, which is part of the Shichahai Hotel group. Compared to the courtyard hotel the only thing that’s missing is…well, a courtyard. A small staircase leads down to the main lobby which has darker accents than the first hotel. However, the lobby then opens up to an impressive lounge complete with a piyingxi(shadow puppet) stage. Dangling from the tops of the glass ceiling are gourd like chandeliers that add to the traditional dark accents of the hotel. Gao Yun took us around the stage and described some of the shadow puppets use. Paper cut out dolls are glued from the joints to sticks and the puppeteer stands behind the screen and acts out the scenes, deftly moving the sticks in time to the narrator. The hotel guests and other visitors can enjoy this traditional Chinese entertainment 8pm on Tuesday, Thursday and weekends.

We took a tour through the hotel, stopping at all the different rooms and trying out the kangbeds! Winter is fast arriving in Beijing and soon these beds will be turned on. When I say turned on, I mean the surface is on will be heated and sleep will be the most amazing ever on this bed. Traditionally, the beds would be heated with a little fire tucked in that alcove (see picture). However, due to safety and just overall cleanliness issues, the surfaces are heated electrically and the alcove serves as a slot for your bedroom slippers.

They restore and renovate these places and add in modern features to appeal to the changing times, but still retain the traditional aspects and atmosphere. Beijing is constantly changing and updating its city but places like the hutongs and the sihouyuans need to stay permanent. Because this is what makes it Beijing. It’s these pieces of culture that made it what it is today.

Confucius is one of histories greatest philosophers and teachers and in the same league as famous western philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras and Socrates.

Born in 551BC, Confucius is China’s most influential philosopher and educator. The morals and principles of his philosophy are an integral part of values and ideology of modern Chinese society. He has been revered by the common people, emperors and leaders alike for thousands of years and a number of temples have been built all over China in his name.

The Confucian Temple in Beijing is the second largest Confucian temple in the world and only surpassed by a larger temple in Qufu, the home town of Confucius. Located near the center of Beijing, the Confucius Temple provides a marvellous insight into the world of Confucius and his influence on modern China.

History

Construction on the temple began in 1302, the sixth year of the reign of Emperor Dade of the Yuan Dynasty and was completed in 1306. The temple was enlarged, restored and rebuilt during the Ming Dynasty and again during the Ming Dynasty.

Grounds and Layout

The grounds of the Confucius Temple cover 22,000 square meters and are a made up of several courtyards and buildings laid out on a central axis. The main buildings on the central axis are the Xian Shi Gate, Da Cheng Gate, Da Cheng Hall and Chong Sheng Memorial Temple. There are also two rows of smaller buildings on the left and right side of the grounds.

Xian Shi Gate (Gate of the Master) – This gate houses the ticket office and the security checkpoint that tourist pass through to enter the temple.

Da Cheng Gate (Gate of Great Success) – This gate is also called the Halberd Gate because 24 of the ancient Halberd weapons that are displayed inside.

Da Cheng Hall (Hall of Great Success) – The main building in the temple and it is in this building that Confucius was enshrined and worshiped by China’s Emperors.

Chong Sheng Memorial Temple – This hall was not built until 1531 during the reign of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty. The hall was used for offering sacrifices to five generations of Confucius’s ancestors. The Confucius Temple performances are given on the steps of this temple.

History of Confucius Display Room – This is a long narrow building on the right side of the second courtyard. The room displays extensive information on the life and history of Confucius, his family, his accomplishments and his back ground. I found a display of his family tree very interesting because it only shows male descendants. This simple omission says a lot about Confucian philosophy and values.

Development of Confucianism Display Room – On the left hand side of the second courtyard is a room displaying information on the development and state of Confucianism in China and around the world in past and present times. There is a lot of information on the importance in the modern world of the values and ideas taught by Confucius.

There were several congratulatory references to compliments and praise made by Nobel Prize winners to Confucianism. Very ironic considering the current status the 2011 Nobel Peace price winner has in China.

I saw at least three primary school groups in the Confucius Temple when I was there and over heard one teacher lecturing his students on the values of Confucius in their studies. The Chinese education system clearly places a lot of emphasis on a 2,500 year old philosophy and its teachings.

Classical Chinese Music House – This is a small building to the left of Da Cheng Hall that has been converted to a shop selling food, ornaments and jade furniture. I found a lovely jade table and chairs in the shop that would have been great to take back home.

Jin Shi Stone Tablets – Jin Shi is a name for scholars who successfully passed the examination system in Imperial China. The examinations were a prerequisite for work in the government’s vast bureaucracy and passing these exams was considered a great honour and accomplishment.

198 stone tablets have been erected at the front and rear of the temple’s entrance courtyard that list examination results of 51,624 Jin Shi from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Interestingly this examination and selection process continued until 1905.

Stone Stele Pavilions – 14 pavilions have been built in the temple’s first and second courtyards that house stone steles (tablets) recording historical information on ancient China. Some examples of these records are the successful suppression of a riot in Qinghai in 1725 and the completion of a renovation in the Confucius Temple in 1769.

Performances

Performances are often held in the front of the Chong Cheng Memorial Temple that last for around 20 minutes. I’m not sure what relationship if any the performances have with the teachings or life of Confucius but they are enjoyable to watch and the period costumes are very cute.

Unlike most travel spots in Beijing, the performances are not shown at regular times to all tourists. The performances are only held for large tour groups who purchase VIP tickets to the Confucius Temple. If you are keen on watching a performance, I suggest you discretely tag long with a large tour group when they enter the Chong Cheng Memorial Hall. This is how I accidentally crashed a performance.

Getting There

Take the subway to Yonghegong station which is at the intersection of subway lines 5 and lines 2. Leave the station using the C exit, turn left and walk several hundred meters. You will know if you have gone to far if you reach the entrance of Lama Temple.

After several hundred meters you will see a road on the right called Guozijian street. Go down that road and the temple will be on the right had side. If you have trouble finding the temple, ask a local where the “kong miao” is. You will have no problem finding people who will point you in the right direction.

Tickets and Times

The tickets are 30rmb each and the opening times are 8:30 to 6:00pm with no tickets sold after 5:30 pm

The exhibition, which can be seen at Beijing’s Capital Museum, tells the story of Hutong life in Beijing between the late Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China era. Among the major events depicted are a wedding night, childbirth, birthday celebrations among the elderly and celebrations to bid farewell to the old year and welcome in the new. Visitors to the exhibition can enjoy a vivid representation of the life and customs from Beijing’s rich past.

China is promoting its traditional medicine overseas but is discovering many obstacles to entering the global market. Xu Lin reports.

Jiang Yuechun turned to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) after Western treatments failed to remove dozens of flat warts coating the backs of her hands.

The 31-year-old university teacher in Beijing says the warts shriveled away without scarring after she imbibed a porridge of coix seeds (a tropical grain).

She is among many Chinese seeking TCM treatments in place of modern Western remedies at a time when her homeland is promoting the internationalization of its traditional medicine – already regularly used in about 140 countries but part of the healthcare systems of only a few.

China’s 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015) earmarks financial support for TCM’s globalization. It {also additionally ,}outlines plans for TCM’s development and industry regulation.

“Despite TCM’s popularity overseas, only a handful of countries, such as Singapore, legally recognize it,” the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine’s former president Long Zhixian says.

“Few countries include TCM in their healthcare systems.”

Artemisinin – a southernwood extract used to treat malaria – is the only TCM widely accepted abroad, mostly in Africa, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine professor Gao Xuemin says. The World Health Organization lists it in its essential medicines catalogue.

Several other traditional remedies, including those for cardiovascular diseases, are undergoing clinical testing overseas and may soon be approved for international use.

But Long believes there are many obstacles to TCM’s expansion in the global market.

Perhaps the most challenging is that TCM is based on traditional Chinese culture and philosophy. These include such concepts as the balance of yin (the cool, calming side of the body) and yang (the hot, stimulating side of the body), and the relationship of the five elements that are said to constitute the universe – fire, earth, metal, water and wood.

“Western culture is totally different,” Long says. “It’s not easy for them to believe in TCM if they don’t understand these theories.”

He says another difficulty is difference in scientific views. “Westerners value experimental data in medicine, while TCM is based on experience accumulated over the past 4,000 years,” he says.

“They {always necessarily ,}try to understand TCM according to the Western medical perspective. But that doesn’t make any sense. In my opinion, as long as a medicine cures, it’s a good one.”

More than 9,000 TCM treatments were approved for sale in the market in 2008, according to the White Paper on Status Quo of Drug Supervision in China.

These TCM treatments have all passed clinical safety tests. Most have a history of several centuries, Long says.

“Current technology can’t detect the active ingredients in some TCM compounds, which are very complicated,” he says.

Long says it’s difficult to determine the numbers and ratios of ingredients in most TCM compounds. Determining which are active ingredients is even more challenging. Artemisinin is an exception, which is why it has been successfully globalized.

TCM doctor Zhou Chaofan says another challenge to internationalization is medicine export standards vary around the world, and China’s standards often can’t meet foreign countries’.

“Some TCMs use heavy metals, such as cinnabar and realgar, which may not meet some foreign countries’ criteria,” Zhou says.

Long agrees. “Standards for heavy metals are different in countries,” he says.

“It’s hard to establish a global standard for TCM because of its complicated ingredients lists.”

But Long remains optimistic. “It’s just a matter of time for TCM to officially enter the global market,” he says.

“We first and foremost must promote Chinese culture, so foreigners can understand TCM’s philosophy.”

The market will surely open up if TCM can cure diseases Western medicine can’t, he believes. And more experiments will provide clinical evidence of TCM’s usefulness and show how it works.

Dozens of Western pharmaceutical companies are currently undertaking such research in hopes of entering the Chinese market as foreign brands.

“This is a typical approach,” Long says. “They first take notice of a TCM treatment and then research and finally produce it. But the impact on the Chinese market is limited.”

But some don’t view TCM’s prospects for internationalization as so promising.Among their ranks is Fang Zhouzi, an academic known for his opposition to “pseudoscience” and TCM.

“TCM theories are not scientific,” Fang says.

“They’re just an amalgam of superstition, metaphysics, philosophy and witchcraft. They should be replaced by better medical science. Some theories aren’t logical at all, such as eating bones to strengthen one’s bones.”

But time, tests and international opinion will tell whether TCM will become a basement of parochial quackery or a lofty pillar of global healthcare’s architecture.

CHINA’S largest real estate developer believes the country’s property market, a key driver for the country’s economy, has turned and expects conditions to worsen in the coming months as sales volumes decline further.

Shenzhen-based China Vanke, the country’s biggest developer by market share, said government efforts over the past year to rein in soaring prices were having a severe impact on the market and developers were being squeezed after sales volumes in 14 of the country’s largest cities halved in September from a year earlier.

“We can see a trend of declining sales, especially in major cities,” Shirley Xiao, executive vice-president at China Vanke, said on a conference call with investors Tuesday. “Prices have begun to decline little by little so we think even buyers who are able to buy will choose to wait for now because they’re targeting even lower price cuts.”

Investors and analysts are watching the real estate sector closely for signs of collapse because of its importance to the overall economy and the effect a crash could have on everything from global steel and copper prices to social stability.

A 30 percent drop in property prices would precipitate a collapse in fixed investment in China and the country’s investment-driven economy would experience a so-called hard landing after years of annual growth above 9 percent, according to UBS economist Wang Tao.

“A property-led hard landing scenario is quite likely in the next few years, even though we do not think the property market is about to collapse now,” Wang said.

Debt-laden provincial governments in China rely heavily on land sales for revenue and have poured investment into commercial housing projects in recent years. These local authorities also account for up to 30 percent of all outstanding bank loans, many of which are collateralized by land and housing developments, so a collapse in the property market could have a devastating knock-on effect on the financial system.
