Running in Xi'an The pollution in Xi'an is not better or worse than in other chinese cities. Nevertheless, running in Xi'an is quite different from other cities I have been. There might be pleasant parks in Xi'an if you manage to go far away from the city centre. Country side like areas are practically not very... Click here to read the full story!
Xi’an Underground Notes Sometimes we like to think of the past in a deluded nostalgic way that just takes the good and conveniently leaves out the bad. My memories of my 7+ years in Xi’an are inevitably littered with omissions and thought of in the way an American sees a Norman Rockwell Christmas poster. But I do...

Chinese Banquets As a foreigner living in China, I've had countless banquets thrown with me being the guest of honor. A banquet to welcome me, a banquet to see me off, and banquets in between with numerous leaders, members of the communist party and sometimes just interested people who want my friendship and a...

Real Estate Price war Real Estate companies compete desperately for customers these days. Hard times for them but good for consumers. It was never that cheap to buy a house/apartment these days in Xi'an. How long it will last until prices start to raise up again? It is quite usual these days that real estate companies...

Pickpockets/Pickpocketing When I first came to Xi’an as a tourist more than a year ago, I was told “Xi’an is the pickpocket capital of China”. I like to see things at first hand, and not believe the hype, so I shrugged this off as a comment by someone who fears the unknown. Now a conscientious... Click here to read the full story!

Nankino Dum mi ekloĝis en Nankino, miaj usonaj gefamilianoj ne tute komprenis, kial mi volus translokiĝi al ĉi tie.
