Go Bananas: September 2005
http://jo-bananas.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
This is about life around me in Beijing and dedicated to the people I love who keep me from Going Bananas, which admittedly, I often do. But not always in a bad way. :). Tuesday, September 27, 2005. Getting by with a little help from my friends :-). You would've thought that as an events planner, getting a big group of friends together is second nature to me. On the contrary, it is exac. Just one of the many reasons why we love you! It was only 11pm when we finished our very excellent dinner at Banana Le...

Go Bananas: February 2006
http://jo-bananas.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
This is about life around me in Beijing and dedicated to the people I love who keep me from Going Bananas, which admittedly, I often do. But not always in a bad way. :). Sunday, February 12, 2006. Going out with a bang. I've always known that the Chinese loved their re nao. I wonder what is the reason behind this about-turn in regulation. Do firework manufacturers have a powerful political lobby? Is there a tax levied on the sale of fireworks which translates into revenue for the State? Unnecessary decib...

Ten things I did not know until I went to Cambodia. Oh Sacred Book of Angkor, give me strength to channel my inner Lara Croft and discover the secrets that lie within. 1 Cambodia operates on a dual-currency system usually favouring the US Dollar. Over the local Riel. Ain't no mountain (temple) high enough! Jo @ Bay...

i see what you mean: post summit Beijing
http://iseewhatyoumean.blogspot.com/2006/11/post-summit-beijing.html
I see what you mean. Understanding Asia one picture at a time. Monday, November 06, 2006. But at the moment what does this mean to Chinese or Africans? From what I can see Beijingers seemed to be more concerned with the details of the traffic restriction over the conference days than anything else. And Africans? My only insight comes from Kenya's. They don't chase local women, so don't pay 'in-law levies'. They take all the money back to China,". Chinese companies, used to an environment riddled with cor...

i see what you mean: shared joys
http://iseewhatyoumean.blogspot.com/2007/06/shared-joys.html
I see what you mean. Understanding Asia one picture at a time. Wednesday, June 27, 2007. Child's ride, Qingdao, China. Child's ride, Great Yarmouth, UK. A small thing but one shared by many - the joy of a badly spray-painted, slightly sinister, mechanical ride. I see what you mean. That top one appears to have been eviscerated with some kind of dagger. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Japan and Korea as centres of influence. I see what you mean. View my complete profile.

I see what you mean. Understanding Asia one picture at a time. Wednesday, August 30, 2006. A couple of mornings ago I opened my curtains to see Beijing in all its glory, including surrounding hills:. It's an unusual sight as mostly I see something like this:. Well, how does this sort of environment effect people's sense of well-being and how can brands answer this through product, communications, corporate citizenship and their own manufacturing processes? I see what you mean. Tuesday, August 29, 2006.

I see what you mean. Understanding Asia one picture at a time. Sunday, December 31, 2006. As I trawl through the reviews of the year here in the UK I wish someone could have done something like this. The Chinese South Metropolis Weekly is featuring a spoof review of 2006 in homage to the wave of internet political and film spoofs China saw this year. Seems to be offering more bite and social commentary than the UK media's rather flacid efforts. Anyway, happy reading and a happy, prosperous New Year!

I see what you mean. Understanding Asia one picture at a time. Tuesday, December 25, 2007. Happy Christmas to all my readers! Here are some Christmas thoughts from Beijing, on behalf of my new company, Honest Films. I see what you mean. Friday, December 07, 2007. It's all about Angola. Poster for the China-Africa Summit, Beijing, 2006. Last year I was around in Beijing when the China-Africa summit. You can listen to the programme here. I see what you mean. Wednesday, December 05, 2007. Free hugs in China.

I see what you mean. Understanding Asia one picture at a time. Tuesday, November 28, 2006. Snacks laid out for a research group, lower tier China. Classic Chinese focus group fare usually includes dry crackers, fruit, sweet preserved plums and dried meat snacks. No booze and crisps or sandwiches as might be expected for UK groups. Indian and Thai research houses sometimes provide a full buffet style meal before the groups (sometimes this also constitutes part of the respondents' payment). Bao Ding is fam...
