		<title>Shanghai &#8211; A Day Out At Ikea&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I moved to Shanghai on an 18 month work assignment in early 2008, I rented a furnished apartment in the Xintiandi area.
I soon realized that I needed to get some additional stuff and decided that the big new Ikea near the Indoor Stadium would have what I required.
So I went there one Saturday to do some shopping.
I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Feral Scooters &#8211; Ubud, Bali</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Feral Scooters &#8211; Indonesian Style
I have been meaning to write this up since Xmas&#8230;.
We heard the first one before we saw it! Sounded kind of somewhere in between a chain saw and a garden whipper-snipper and my first reaction was it was that either it was some kind of joke, or maybe an Indonesian version of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scott&#8217;s Shanghai Train Story&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the last three weeks I have been back in China and had a colleague

of mine, Scott Breeding, out from our company’s headquarters in the USA. Scott is quite a character &#8211; well read &#38; traveled with a real passion for what he does and a seemingly endless stream of great one-liners. It was a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cafe Society Arrives&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I need to be upfront and state that the departure lounge at Port Moresby&#8217;s domestic terminal is not my favorite place in Papua New Guinea.
The general rule of thumb when visiting PNG is to get through Port Moresby as quickly as possible and on to your final destination. There is not much to see in the national [...]]]></description>

		<title>Port Moresby</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is something inherently intimidating about Papua New Guinea’s capital Port Moresby and I think it’s a combination of the “rascal factor” &#38;m standing out in the crowd as a “dim-dim”, or white fella, in this country of dark skinned &#38; fuzzy haired people.
Papua New Guinea (PNG) is one of my favorite places – it [...]]]></description>

		<title>What’s this dish again?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

When I first came to China on business about 6 years ago, like most first-timers, I was somewhat startled by what is eaten by the Chinese…. it seemed that anything &#38; everything could go into the enormous variety of food dishes available here.
I later learned that there is a local saying that the Chinese eat anything with legs on, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pajama update &#8211; the winter version!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally got round to updating the blog after being back in Australia over Xmas. It was a bit of a shock to leave the Sydney summer and arrive back in China in the middle of winter because it&#8217;s really cold in Shanghai with temperatures down below freezing. I know that&#8217;s not cold compared to some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shanghai Taxis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Traveling by taxi is one of life&#8217;s pleasures in my opinion&#8230;.in Sydney, where my home is, the taxi drivers are a veritable league of nations. An original Aussie driver is very hard to find these days because the arduous task of navigating the city&#8217;s clogged roads has fallen to the migrants who have changed the [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is it with the pajamas?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Shanghai is without doubt the most dynamic &#38; cosmopolitan city in China. Its exotic reputation as the “pearl of the orient”, was gained in 19th century, when at one point there were over 60,000 foreign residents living there.  It was known as a place to get rich quickly and was built on the back of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting a haircut &#8211; the sequel!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Well, as promised here is the long awaited sequel to &#8220;the haircut&#8221;&#8230;
Today I ventured back to my &#8220;local&#8221; shops and my trusty barber Mr. Liu, as usual we conversed by sign language, but being the consumate professional he is this was no barrier to Mr. Liu&#8217;s tonsorial efforts and I emerged from his chair suitably [...]]]></description>
