3 minutes in Shanghai

testing

Christmas and New Year in Shanghai. Generally, the Chinese don't celebrate the way we do, but they do seem to enjoy the lights and decorations.

Listen to the show.

Going to the cinema in Shanghai. What's that like? Today I take about three minutes to answer that question.

Overall, the experience isn't too different from what you're used to in the States. Perhaps a few more obnoxious theatre-goers having noisy conversations, but otherwise pretty similar. Nice screens, nice environment. Sweet popcorn.

Wish I could see something other than Harry Potter, though.

Here's the video that goes with the previous show.

The rise of hip-hop in China is the topic of today's show.

I'm working on a new website, which those of you who are interested can check out at http://3minutesinshanghai.com/wp

I spent the Thanksgiving weekend working with Wordpress, trying to figure it all out and customize the look, using all them templates and CSS and stuff. It took me hours and hours, and for most of the time it all seemed completely beyond me. Now I've got the thing up and kind of how I want it to look, but the scripts to import my LiveJournal posts don't seem to work. Without that working, I'd have to import them all by hand before moving over the podcast, and that doesn't sound so good. Nonetheless, it seems to me to be a good idea to move over to Wordpress to give myself a little more control over what I'm doing with the blog/podcast.

And a video is coming.

Enjoy.
