Today in China

The concept of the TV Show ‘J’irai dormir chez vous’ (’I'll come sleep at your place’) by Antoine de Maximy is quite easy to understand. Here is the description made by Jenny Beaumont on her blog:

He travels around the world by himself, rigged with a hand-held video camera, a small camera on his shoulder and one on an extension that allows him to film himself filming. And meeting people. Because that is the object of his trips, he wants to meet the “real people” of whatever area he’s visiting, get himself invited to dinner and eventually to spend the night. It’s brilliant. And he’s hilarious, always smiling and making the best out of what sometimes turn out to be not-so-great situations.

So, why do I talk about this on Today in China? Well, yes! After Mali, Corsica, UK, Scotland, Bolivia and Canada… he finally made it in China!

So, enjoy! (ahem… sorry, but it’s all in French… However, I heard he is working on a longer movie in English!)

I recently saw on Danwei.Tv a documentary about the Nanluogu Xiang Hutong. I’m sure most of the foreigners in Beijing know where is that Hutong, just to refresh your memory, I will mention the most famous bar of this Hutong located East of Houhai: the Pass By Bar.

You will see in this little movie the reaction of the owner of the Pass By Bar about the renovation of this street.

Here is a funny videos from Chris and Martin about this traditional activity in all primary and scondary schools all over China. Chris details the three main parts needed to make sure all the young Chinese have a healthy mind in a healthy body:
1. gather all the students
2. practice some basic gymnastics
3. go back to the classrooms

Turn on the sound because the background music chosen by Chris is really adequate!

Here is an amazing video from Danwei.org about romance in Beijing and how to find a boyfriend. Some parts of the video is SCARY but so true…

By the way, if you speak or learn Mandarin, I advice you to turn the speakers on because all the interviews are in Chinese! ^_^
