Alice in Shanghailand: December 2008
http://aliceinshanghailand.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2008. Posted by Alice Tuan at 11:58 PM. Monday, December 29, 2008. Christmas/Mao's Birthday in Yanshan. Of the cadres, there were also heads of the department of water, of housing, those familiar with the region who would give their opinion about the plan proposed by Li. You could tell who gets respect by chatter level (E.F. Hutton? I continue to watch Li at our lunch banquet (there was Peking duck! Mr Jie did not have a father who was a cadre, like Teacher Wong, and came from the...

Alice in Shanghailand: April 2009
http://aliceinshanghailand.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 28, 2009. I just finished a new play and sent off an application for an awesome residency for Spring semester 2010. I feel as serene and happy as this pic of Juju in Hawaii. Posted by Alice Tuan at 3:27 PM. Thursday, April 23, 2009. Like Ingrid Bergman at that time, when they sat in the front row of a packed movie theater, so beautiful she was, so in awe he couldn't even reach for her hand. Did I mention that Paul Chow is a romantic? The artist must take down his own show, though he is in ...

Alice in Shanghailand: October 2008

Friday, October 31, 2008. Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art. Eat your heart out, Jeff Koons. The Red Guard makes the cross (gymnastic rings? In that tight mylar. Sheen The hat got a bit washed out, but the red star is present live, as is all the might. The last exhibit I was wowed and invigorated by was the 'explosion' artist Cai. I think one of the coolest things about Chinese characters and advertising is the ability to form architecture with the graphic designs. The story goes that Zhuangz. Notes th...

Alice in Shanghailand: June 2009

Wednesday, June 3, 2009. As posted by Su). So I haven't been able to access this blog since the May 6 post- an anti-In-n-Out-Burger campaign? One can never know if it is shitty technology or 'purposeful inaccessibility,' but whether Shanghai or Chengdu (checked the connection on a quick trip to Sichuan and also no go), just can't seem to get to 'Shanghailand.'.

Alice in Shanghailand: September 2008
http://aliceinshanghailand.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Vogs through Shanghai II: French Concession. My Vogs have brought me across Central Yan'an Rd. from the Shanghai Exhibition Centre where I'll hit Chengshu Rd, and head south towards Hengshan Rd and arrive in the heart of the French Concession. The clouds have convened, and suddenly, the stylish Vogs ask for a plain surface, something a little less cobbled, a little less historic. What's so great about this street? Let's try again, he suggests. Great. The subway stop is just d...

Alice in Shanghailand: February 2009
http://aliceinshanghailand.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2009. Taking the Implicit Association Test. And really having to repel the feeling that the word 'angry' seems to always precede the image of a black man, and the word 'happy' seeming to preced a white person. This may be an implicit reading into the test, but it begs to wonder are we so conditioned by the media that these automatic knee jerk interpretations abound, or is the test, by dint of taking it, making one (me) paranoid? I fixed it right. Alas, why the folly? But most impor...

Alice in Shanghailand: January 2009
http://aliceinshanghailand.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2009. Here is my cousin Paul. He is Hong Kong hiking. Looks pretty rough, huh? A paved trail. Wrought iron rails. Gosh if you happened to be in spiky boots, a fitted blazer, your do done just right, face full of makeup and a big Gucci purse, real or fake, you could still Hong Kong hike. How egalitarian, right? What would a Hong Kong hike be without taking the tram uphill first? Can you tell we're hiking upwards because of the slight tilt? A few billion megawatts. Here's proof that I p...

Alice in Shanghailand: November 2008
http://aliceinshanghailand.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 27, 2008. Thanks Given, Psyches Taken. The crisis at hand- micro, macro, mercurial. Which would you choose? Take out your passport, now! I was gobbled up by the CNN coverage. Despite all of the frustrations and inefficiencies and caps on freedom in my present, I've got lots to be thankful for. I'm in Shanghai, for american sakes, this strange, ancient, new, dilapidated, quickly-constructed lunar landscape. For Thanksgiving, I had this seaweed and also crisp, stir-fried broccoli, which ...
