Public Toilets in Shanghai


I saw these toilets around Shanghai but I would not recommend using them. There are so many modern shopping malls all over Shanghai that it is best to those for a clean western style toilet.

A cafe chain you probably won't be seeing in America


If you are looking for a coffee in Shanghai you can go to one of the many international cafe chains, like Starbucks, or you could go to the Taiwanese cafe chain ecoffee.

I thought it was a starbucks when I first saw the shop from afar. Starbucks thinks so as well, and has filed a complaint over the matter. Here are the logos of ecoffee and Starbucks.

ecoffee and Starbucks logo

Like any good knock off, the coffee at ecoffee is much cheaper than at the original. A Tall Cafe Latte at Starbucks costs 25 RMB (about 3.67 USD). The same sized Cafe Latte at ecoffee costs 15 RMB (about 2.20 USD).

Shanghai Food Market


Shanghai is full of modern shopping malls with air conditioned food courts and restaurants, but you don't need to go far to find a back street with a food market of the old China.

Meet Your Meat

I've always said that I love ducks, but I couldn't eat a whole one. after seeing this cute little fella with the yellow beak though I'm not sure I'm up for eating any duck.
Birds at Market

I'm fine with eating seafood, but best it's best not to see where your fish has been before it lands on your plate.

Olympic medal tally by per head of population


The Beijing Olympics has been a showcase of the rise of China, and this is reflected in the medal tally. Over the coming decades this tally will only increase as the Chinese better manage their population and sporting institutions.

With a traditional medal tally the powerhouse nations always top the list, but I often wonder about the smaller nations that over-achieve. The Economist have also pondered this and have produced a medal tally from the 2004 Olympics by per head of population.

2004 Medal Tallies

Note how the Caribbean and Eastern European countries fare.
