BRIEFING - Ningbo Guide
EDITOR'S NOTE April and the beginning of May were big months for us at Ningbo Guide. The city is starting to warm up and people are coming out ready for summer to start. At the beginning of the month, we took a small crew to run the Pyonyang Marathon in North Korea. That sort of set the tone for what the month was going to be like. We'll have complete coverage of the excellent and surreal event in next month's magazine. Closer to home, we got everything together for Ningbo's first Spring Block Party. None of that would have been possible without our friends at S&D Design and J&M Tattoo. Eveyone pulled together to pull off a great party to kick off the summer season. Complete with homemade craft beer, authentic tacos, chili, and hot dogs, plenty of sunshine and great people, we couldn't have asked for a better party. If that wasn't enough, taking a crew of people on mini-parade complete with DJ and sound system on wheels, it was an excellent walk to Bad Monkey where the after party went all night. It was also a huge month for being healthy in Ningbo. It's good to cleanse out some of that party and exercise has to be one of the best ways to do it. You could go to the hospital and get a drip. But if anything doesn't go well, we weren't the ones to tell you to do that. Finding your fit the old fashioned way was everywhere last month. We have an excellent and incredibly cute cycling and camping story written by our Junior Reporter Elodie. She and a crew of intrepid cyclists from Nottingham took themselves out into the wilderness for some excellent fresh air, camping, cycling and everything else that goes with it. They even packed the marshmallows. Elsewhere in the fitness world we've got our regular column called Yoga &. This month it's about yoga and qi. We're really happy to run this column as it gives you a more in depth outlook on yoga and how to integrate it and holistic health in general into your life. If you're intrigued, be sure to visit Gabriella's classes in person as it's even better hearing it straight from her. If yoga and cycling weren't enough, it was the first ever Ningbo Women's Half Marathon in Yinzhou. Nearly 500 competitors came out and ran up and down Ningbo's lovely southern mountains. The day was a complete success and we're hoping another one is scheduled soon. It might be the case that you don't like to punish yourself with hours of cycling or days of running. It may be that you like to punish your legs by going straight up. Hiking your way through Huangshan is sure way to whip your legs into shape, or into submission. We have some great coverage from our very own Magnolia Wang accompanied with stunning ALWAYS INDEPENDENTLY PUBLISHED photos from Peter Morgan. (Peter is also the photographer of our cover photo this month.) After all of the exercising it's only natural to be hungry. Actually it's only natural to be really hungry. But that's exactly the time to watch what you eat and newcomer on the food scene, Fitbox, will help you do just that. The small eatery in Yinzhou is fixated on healthy fresh food with authentic and delicious ingredients. There are wide range of balanced meal options as well as a literal wall of supplements. The owner and operators there are knowledgeable and are more than happy to help with any fitness related questions. Once you've done all that work, it's time to relax. And at the end of the month, there's just the gig for that. John Carroll and William Gray will play the Prince Bar on May 30th. The show will be an excellent collections of orignal songs and compositions written by the two Hangzhou transplants. We would expect that after that show, there will be yet another late night party at Prince so schedule that night for a big one. At this point you've basically started the whole party, get fit, party, get fit, party, get fit cycle over again. Or maybe you've just stuck with fit or just with party. Everything in moderation means there's lots to get out and do in Ningbo. We'll see you out there.

Scientific community confirms rumors and the debate over playing around with people is about to get serious. The first ever confirmed report of editing the genetic code in human embryos has come and past. Scientists at Sun Yat-Sen University in Guangzhou, led by Junjiu Huang, have removed a gene responsible for a fatal blood disorder. Using embryos incapable of developing into a live birth and sourced from a local fertility clinic, the scientists employed a technique called CRISPR. CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) have been observed since the 1980’s and is actually a naturally-occurring defence mechanism found in a wide range of bacteria. The technique could be effective at not only removing genetic diseases from the 8 | M AY 2 0 1 5 human genome, it could easily lead to designer babies where traits like intelligence, beauty and even eye color can be manipulated at will. Before the doomsday clock starts counting down, leading scientists across the world have asked for a temporary moratorium on the research. Nature News notes that the “enormous opportunities” of this kind of genetic engineering can come with “unknown risks to human health and well-being.” Moreover, the technology isn’t perfect. The process isn’t perfect and most of the embryos didn’t survive. But, as the exponential acceleration in technological advancements shows no signs of slowing down, a higher success rate is likely not far off. Marking unknown ethical issues and the completely unforeseen ramifications of playing with genetic sequences (improperly applying the CRISPR technique to remove an existing genetic disease could easily create a new one), scientific communities in Europe and the U.S. will most likely heed the warning. But places where rules are less regularly enforced, where ethical issues regularly take a back seat to advancement and profit, and where human life isn’t necessarily as valued, progress could be sweeping. X THE WIRE / SHORTLIST / INSIGHT / BUSINESS report released by the Ningbo government stated that in 2014, 11,961 Malignant Tumors the ANingbo residents were killed by malignant tumors, up from the previous year. Malignant tumors have been the top cause of death for Ningbo residents in Number One Cause the past 10 years.

The theme of the symposium was “Polymers and Industrial Innovations” and brought academic and industrial scientists together to share recent advancements in polymers and industrial innovations and encourage collaboration. More Citizens Reading Books at Ningbo Libraries Data from Ningbo Library shows that between 2012 and 2014, the rate of adults and children borrowing books from the library increased steadily. In 2014, the numbers reached a high with 1.36 million people borrowing 3.42 million books from the library. The biggest increase came from young readers, who showed an interest in a wide range of topics. The rising literacy of Ningbo citizens has been well-noted, as in 2014 Ningbo topped Amazon. com's list of the country's most literate cities.

The opening of the shop represents the growing demand for private aircraft, following a government plan to open up low-altitude airspace in several areas around the country. A proposal to build the Ningbo Coastal Beach, a 1.88km stretch of sandy beach at the Meishan Bonded Port area, was approved by the Economic Development Bureau of the Ningbo Meishan Bonded Port on April 13. The cleaning of the shallow areas of the Meishan Waterway is currently underway and is 80% complete at present. The sand-capping project is expected to be started by the end of 2015 and should be completed within 12 months.

Considering that our foreign friends who live in Ningbo may encounter problems while learning Chinese. Beyond Mandarin Chinese Training & Culture Experience Center would like to take this opportunity to interview some students who are studying in our school to share their learning and life experience in Ningbo. We hope this column can help you in some aspects. Last but not least, we look forward to your suggestions. Please e-mail Nicki with any comments: [email protected]. Thank you for your interest! The following interview was originally in Chinese, and has been translated by Beyond Mandarin. For four years, Justin has been a student at Beyond Mandarin. He has a busy yet colorful life. I estimate that he is currently balancing as many as 10 commitments, including study, work, volunteer activities and his own hobbies. We often call Justin a ‘China Hand’, and because his story is so rich, we’ve decided to publish it in three installments. This time, we mainly discussed his arrival in Ningbo and the start of his life here. In the next two installments, Justin shares with us his experiences of living and working in Ningbo, including interesting places he has visited. He will also talk about learning Chinese, and some stories from work. Stay tuned…! Nicki: Hello, Justin. Can you give a simple self-introduction? Justin: Okay, I'm Justin, a native of Michigan, in the northern U.S., where it’s still snowing! I studied music in the States, through the doctoral level, stopping short of the dissertation. When I first came to Ningbo, however, I taught English. Now, I’m a post-graduate student at the University of Nottingham, Ningbo. Nicki: I heard that you are very busy lately. Can you tell us what you are doing? Justin: Haha! Right, I'm too busy, I feel like I'm running every day! First of all, I am a student at the University of Nottingham; I am also an English teacher at a German company where I teach their Chinese employees. I am a piano instructor; once or twice a month I host a Chinese cooking class for expats; every Sunday I play the piano for Mass; I work as a culture guide for expats in Ningbo; at the same time, I also assist a local friend at his company in Ningbo. Last year, I taught IELTS at Ningbo University and I am also helping a university in Hangzhou to edit an English textbook. Nicki: You are really busy! Well, let’s start from the beginning. When did you come to Ningbo? Justin: I came to Ningbo in 2009. Nicki: Why did you come to China? And why choose to come to Ningbo? Justin: There are many reasons. The first reason was my dad. My dad liked 14 | M AY 2 0 1 5 traveling, and was quite sympathetic to Eastern cultures. When I was little, he told me many stories about Eastern countries. He also traveled to many cities. Forty years ago, my father came to China. My dad was very understanding of China, and even liked using chopsticks. He also spent a year in Sweden. When I heard his stories, I thought, I'm going to travel to a lot of places. The second reason is that when I was a college student in the United States, many of my professors had lived abroad, some in Europe (e.g. France, Germany, Italy), some in Brazil, others in Japan. At that time, I thought there were so many people around me who had experienced life in a foreign country, but there were none who had lived in China, so I began planning, “I’m going to China, this will be my special experience”, and so I began thinking how to move to China. I was teaching piano in States, and had a student from Ninghai, who told me, ‘You should go to Ningbo, it’s a good place.’ So, I checked the Internet for jobs in Ningbo, and found an online recruiter advertising for Xiaoshi High School. I sent them my resume, and they immediately replied. I accepted the interview, and they wanted me to come to work in Ningbo. Previously, there had been graduates from Yale University who came to Xiaoshi to teach. Nicki: Congratulations to you, so you succeeded in coming to China to work. That was your first trip to China, in 2009, right? Justin: My first time to China was in 2008. In 2008, my Ninghai student married. She and her husband invited me to attend their wedding in Chongqing. I immediately said, “I want to attend!” To be honest, I think they were a bit surprised, because they thought China is too far from the United States, but I very much wanted to visit China, so in 2008 I spent two weeks here, in Chongqing and Shanghai. At that time, Shanghai was fascinating to me: I spoke no Chinese, and did not understand Chinese customs. For example, I kept going to small restaurants, but couldn’t read the menu, so I always went to places with picture menus. Whichever photo looked nice, I ordered it! Nicki: The first time you came to China, did you like it? Justin: I immediately liked China. To me, life in China was an adventure, because I don’t know what it would be like to live here. Nicki: Soon after you came to China, did you adapt to life here? For example, Chinese dishes and Ningbo’s climate? Justin: Yes, this was no problem for me. I’ll eat anything. I really like some of the special dishes here, such as ‘pungent (stinky) melon’, which is a local Ningbo dish. I also like drunken shrimp, and so many more. The weather is not a big problem. Ningbo is a little cold in winter, a little uncomfortable. I remember my first year in Ningbo, when the summer was very hot, that was especially uncomfortable, but last summer was very comfortable. Nicki: As an American coming to China, being unsure of differences in Chinese people's way of thinking and working — what we call ‘cultural differences’ — you were able to adapt to these differences? Justin: When I first came to Ningbo, it was as an English teacher. For me, that was a new job, without previous experience. So I began learning about linguistics. At the high school, I had many good and effective colleagues, serious teachers, who often worked together with me to discuss problems. For example, I often say to them, “I do not know how to help this student.” They gave me a lot of useful advice. In fact, before I came to China, I had considered this issue, of teaching English in China; I thought there should be some teaching problems that are like those in the U.S., and a number of problems that are different from there. Not knowing how to solve many of those problems, my colleagues really gave me a lot of help. So, I slowly adapted to my work, and I am very grateful to all of them. Nicki: By that time you had learned some Chinese, right? Justin: Yes. Sophia talked with me and gave me a level test. She thought I was level two, but also thought that I didn’t know a lot of simple grammar and vocabulary. So I start from level 2. Even now, I understand a good amount of complicated Chinese, but sometimes some simple syntax and words I still don’t know, so I think it is very important to build a solid language foundation when you just start to learn a language. Nicki: So you did not immediately begin to formally learn Chinese when you came to Ningbo, only after a year? Justin: The first year and a half, I was mostly on my own, which was rather slow. Nicki: In fact, many foreigners who come to China, don’t learn Chinese. Justin: I think this is a serious mistake. For foreigners, pronunciation and simple grammar is very important. I know a lot of foreigners in Ningbo, some have been here for years, and yet they do not speak Chinese, nor read characters. I think that if a person really wants to understand Chinese culture, she or he should learn Chinese. Language and culture are closely linked: if you learn the language of the country, it is natural Nicki: It seems that you are now accustomed to living and working in that you can learn about the people and culture of the country. Ningbo. Justin: I can say that I am used to it, but I can also say that I think I'm Nicki: Well, today we discussed a lot of things about when you first becoming really American at the same time. For the six years I’ve been in came to China. I can see that you really like things related to culture. Ningbo, I’ve enjoyed life here, becoming more and more accustomed to For our next interview, I want to talk about your language learning Chinese culture, but I also know more about American culture. Strange, experience and recent activities, alright? right? Before coming here, I didn’t think a lot about differences of cultural Justin: Good! issues, and when I came to China I thought a lot. Before I came to Ningbo, a good friend told me, “When you go to China, you will face a significant Nicki: Thank you very much for taking time from your busy schedule problem.” When I asked him what he meant, he said, “You have to learn for our interview. how another culture lives, while still respecting your American culture.” Justin: My pleasure. At the time, I thought that was nonsense, but now I feel he was right. I also know, living in a foreign country, in addition to adapting to local life and culture, you must also be true to your own culture. You cannot forget that. Nicki: After you came to China, did you encounter any difficulties? Justin: Let me think about that. In my first year, everything was new for me, and every day a joy, so the first year I didn’t have problems. As I understood more about China, I began to have some minor problems. For example, my first three years in China, I couldn’t say much in Chinese. I like to talk. So, when I went to a store and wanted to talk with the owner, I couldn’t, I could only say a bit, and (of course) they didn’t understand me. I began to feel that my pronunciation was not very good, and my grammar bad. So I began to practice saying “Hello” to everything, all the time. I practiced for three months, and finally one day I greeted someone who understood me, and I was so excited! Not speaking much Chinese, I had all these problems. For example, I’d go to the supermarket but couldn’t say “I want a bag,” couldn’t tell anyone what I wanted, and so I talked very little with others. They didn’t understand me, even ignored me. So I began to feel that the locals didn’t like foreigners, and didn’t like to be asked questions. Later, I found I was wrong, that it was my problem. Because they didn’t understand me, they felt embarrassed, and didn’t answer. Nicki: Had you started learning Chinese at that time? Justin: This question is difficult to answer. At that time, I had a lot of colleagues, who were Chinese English teachers. Sometimes, I would ask them some questions about Chinese, but they weren’t sure how to answer. When I told them, “I think I should go to a Chinese school,” they said, “No, no, we can teach you.” I knew they were well-intentioned and really wanted to help me, so I sincerely thanked them. However, I also knew that I needed more help to learn Chinese. So in the summer of my second year, I asked my colleagues to help me find a Chinese school. We looked at ads and found three schools. I chose Beyond Mandarin. MAY 2 0 1 5 | 15 The BRIEFING X BUSINESS In depth business knowledge from those who do it best.

China’s AIIB – The Facts To Know By Dezan Shira & Associates March 31 2015 was the deadline for countries to join the Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank. This cut-off date was met with a rush of last minute applications from countries around the world. The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) was first proposed when Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang visited Southeast Asian countries in October 2013. The AIIB will finance infrastructure projects throughout Asia, such as roads, railways and ports. By October 2014, 22 Asian states had signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish the AIIB. The bank is to be headquartered in Beijing and is widely seen as China’s answer to the Japanese-led Asian Development Bank and the Americandominated World Bank. The Chinese government had long been dissatisfied with Japanese and American reluctance to grant it a larger say in existing international financial institutions. For instance, China contributed 12.6 percent to global GDP, with 23 percent by the US and 6.7 percent by Japan. However, Japan is the majority shareholder of the Asian Development Bank with 15.7 percent of shares, followed by the US with 15.6 percent. China only holds 5.5 percent. The same situation occurs with in the World Bank. The institution is led by the US with 16 percent of shares, followed by Japan with 8.9 percent, and China merely holding 5.8 percent. At the same time, the US is unwilling to give China a bigger say in the IMF. New Development Bank It should therefore come as no surprise that China is now moving to establish its own international and multilateral institutions. On July 15, 2014 China founded the New Development Bank, another multilateral financial institution with the 5 BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) as member states. The New Development Bank is to be headquartered in Shanghai and like the AIIB, will focus on infrastructure projects. It will also feature a regional headquarters for African projects, based in South Africa. 16 | M AY 2 0 1 5 One Road, One Belt As said, the aim of the AIIB is to finance infrastructure projects throughout Asia. It is a practical application of Xi Jinping’s One Road, One Belt vision, in which he intends to recreate the historic Silk Road that connected China to the Mediterranean, the Middle East and Western Europe, passing through Central Asia. Improved infrastructure will create new and strengthen existing trade routes throughout the region. The projects will stimulate growth in the countries along the proposed New Silk Road, so that combined with better connectivity; these regions will become markets for Chinese goods. In the short term, the projects themselves are an appealing investment alternative for the Chinese government. With the US and EU economies weakening, China feels the need to diversify its investments. In addition, the enhanced engagement with the region that the AIIB investments will entail will enable China to improve its relations with the countries in the region. not to join. North Korea’s application was turned down. authorities give the IC card and other equipment the first time the tax payer applies for a Special VAT fapiao quota. These contain company information such as name, Tax Registration Code, Special VAT fapiao quota and number of Special VAT fapiao printers registered to that company. To purchase new Special VAT fapiao, this device or card needs to be brought along as well. This card or device stores VAT transactions data and is later used to make VAT payments. General Taxpayer from the tax authorities, it will receive a notice from the tax bureau, the Notice on the Use of a Fapiao Printer. Capitalization Both the AIIB and the New Development Bank will have an initial capital of US$ 50 billion and both are planned to increase to US$ 100 billion. With a combined capital of US$200 billion, the two institutions could quickly develop into serious competitors of both the Asian Development Bank Membership (subscribed capital of US$ 165 billion) The chart shows the countries who have and the World Bank (subscribed capital of been approved as Founding Members, US$223 billion). as well as those who have submitted their application within the deadline. The United States, Canada and Japan have decided Buying and Printing Fa Piao By Steven Elsinga and Jim Qiao Buying Fapiao Paper Companies need to buy their fapiao paper from the tax authorities. To purchase fapiao, a staff member needs to physically go to the tax office and bring the following items: • The previous fapiao booklet with unused fapiao (if any) • The ID card of the employee tasked with making the purchase • Special fapiao seal • Tax Registration Certificate The tax authorities decide the kind and the quantity of fapiao a company may issue, as well as the maximum RMB amount. This decision is based on the company’s size and business scope. Within five days the company will be issued a fapiao booklet. Old, unused fapiao will be replaced. Companies need to have a dedicated fapiao seal, registered with the tax authorities. Fapiao that the company issues need to be affixed with this seal. To purchase Special VAT fapiao, companies need to bring their VAT fapiao authentication device or IC card. The tax Printing Special VAT Fapiao Special VAT Fapiao can only be printed using a unique printer that is approved by the tax authorities. As only General Taxpayers can issue Special VAT fapiao, the company needs to have been granted General Taxpayer status. When the company receives approval for With this notice, the taxpayer can purchase a computer and fapiao printer from an approved seller. The taxpayer needs to take the computer with printer, the company’s Tax Registration Certificate, the Finance Seal and the Fapiao Seal to the tax bureau. The tax bureau installs the tax software and places a special device inside the computer, then verifies whether the printer has the correct fapiao quotas. The computer and printer will then be registered and activated. To use the fapiao printer, the company needs to send one or more staff members to the tax office to attend a training course. Trained employees may then use the printer to print fapiao. MAY 2 0 1 5 | 17 OUT LINE Ningbo parties Summer is here and it's already kickin' off. Time to get up with the get down. Here's our wrap up from The Spring Block Party and The Warehouse Rave. Photography // Sylvie Meltzer spring block party 2015 It was a great start to the summer to spend time in one of Ningbo's new favorite hideen gems. We want to say a huge thanks to everyone that came out, helped out, and partied. It was a great day. We'd like to say a big thanks to all the businesses in the area for helping to organize. At the end of the day, it's all you fine Ningbo ren that come out to the parties and make it happen. We couldn't have asked for a better way to put summer directly into high gear. It's gonna be a good one people. 20 | M AY 2 0 1 5 22 | M AY 2 0 1 5 MAY 2 0 1 5 | 23 The men behind the beverages that started this party deserve a round for the crafting of such delicious and tasty delights. We only wish there was more to go around. If you weren't able to get your hands on any of the homemade brew, next time is just around the corner and we'll be sure to let you know. Of all the Craft brews that literally flew off the tables, the Expat IPA Extra Special Bitter, was by far the most popular. All of the designers that created custom labels for the Craft Beer were on point. 26 | M AY 2 0 1 5 CRAFT BEER The eight labels made by our group of designers that love making good stuff for the love of making it. That's a special kind of breed. We love workin' with S&D Design and J&M Tattoo. It's local businesses like this that make Ningbo as fresh and liveable as it is. They also help make to great parties. And finally we gotta say thanks to everyone who kept the party rolling in our DJ on wheels parade and on into the night at Bad Monkey. It was a good day.

Words // Magnolia Wang Photos // Peter Morgan & Magnlolia Wang huang shan the ever popular mountain in the clouds is a must see in China Huangshan is one of China's most well-known sightseeing destinations. It is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site and throughout the country's history has been a subject of paintings, stories, poetry and photography. Its relatively close proximity to Ningbo in Anhui province cements its place as a mustsee during one's time here. There is entirely too much to talk about and describe in the space of a magazine article, so I thought I would recount the story of my trip, which is one of the many Huangshan adventures available to those who make the journey. The trip to Huangshan from Ningbo takes about six hours in total, and requires a stop in Hangzhou. From the Zhejiang capital, you'll take a bus to Tunxi Station, which is located in Huangshan city. The bus takes four and a half hours. The actual mountain scenic area of Huangshan is another bus ride away from there, so it's probably best to stay in town and find lodging and some good eating, which is exactly what we did. The city area has standard tourist options, but also features some great local cuisine which is spicy, salty and chock full of wild vegetables you don't really find in Ningbo. There are lots of accommodation options ranging from budget hostels to luxury, but make sure to book ahead as everything fills up quickly. 40 | M AY 2 0 1 5 We woke up early the next day to spend as much time on the mountain as possible,which proved to be a wise choice due to the mass of people here to enjoy this famous place. You have two options to get to the top of the mountain, a two-to-threehour hike or a cable car. The former is paved, has stairs built in and is well-marked, making it likely just fine for everyone in your group. The cable car, however, boasts some of the most breathtaking views I've ever witnessed in China, and started to give us a sense for why the site has become so legendary over the generations. Though there isn't a moment of scenery that isn't pretty stunning, the peak is the main reason millions of tourists flock here every year. And for good reason. There is a large flat area at the summit which provides a complete 360-degree panorama. While adding to the snaps and beeps of the cameras around you is going to be part of your trip—and you'll definitely want to make sure you bring something to capture the beauty around you—it's well worth putting it all down for a few minutes to soak up what's around you. The lush vegetation, the ancient craggy rock formations, the fertile valleys that extend beyond what the eye can see—you might be tempted to join the legions of poets who've attempted to put this truly special place into words. Because neither I nor my friends paid much attention during poetry class, I'll have to let the photos do the work. 46 | M AY 2 0 1 5 I mentioned earlier that it's worth making accommodation bookings ahead of time. Here's why. After spending a lot of time at the summit, we started to notice as the light began to soften and the air got a bit of a chill to it. It was then that we realized we didn't have anywhere to stay for the evening and were forced to search around. Thankfully, one of the hotels at the top of the mountain, though fully booked, was able to rent us a tent and we got a few hours of something resembling sleep. Count on all the hotels on the top of the mountain being booked up, and count on maybe not being able to make it back into town. Do yourself a favor and just make sure you've got something booked before you roll into town. Though it is the natural scenery that people come for, another point of interest for me was the men responsible for hauling supplies up and down the mountain and keeping the place clean. You'll see them throughout your Huangshan trip, complete with chiseled figure and a fatigued but genuine smile lighting up their face. In talking to just about everyone who worked on or around the mountain it became clear that these men are the what makes the whole place run. As I said before, there's far too much about this place to fit into one article. People have been attempting to capture the beauty of Huangshan for thousands of years, and it's likely they'll still be trying for a long time to come. 48 | M AY 2 0 1 5 HOW TO GET THERE: Hangzhou West Bus Station to Tunxi Bus Station (Around 4.5 hours, RMB 84 / ticket) Tunxi Bus Station to Tangkou Bus Station (Around 1 hours, RMB 20 / ticket) Tangkou bus station to Huangshan scenic area (Around 1 hour, RMB 19 / ticket) EAT DRINK FITBOX Eat lean and get mean, this food will help you get healthy and ripped.

MAY 2 0 1 5 | 55 THE LAST DROP Every month we bring you the skinny on the latte and the cafe that serves it. With all the coffee shops opening all over Ningbo, we'll bring you the low-down, right to the last drop. ROAD LONG CAFE Form Finally Follows Function The design ideal that form should follow function, i.e. the design of a thing or of a place should arise organically from its purpose, is one that often goes ignored here in Ningbo in favor of pretty things that don't have a whole lot of utilitarian value. This is especially true when it comes to coffee shops around the city; often cute to look at but also awkward. However the niftiest feature is the print and copy station right there in the shop. Any student or teacher can attest to having hours of good study vibes ruined by the last minute panic of where to print or copy something. The folks at Roadlong know your struggle, and they've gone out of their way to provide you with a few extra minutes of prep (or nap) time before getting to it. It's a great example of someone identifying the purpose of a place and running with it. Form following function to the nth degree. You couldn't ask for a better place to study or plan lessons. Roadlong Cafe, which sits on Taikang Lu adjacent to UNNC, is a cafe where form refreshingly follows function. Its choice of location, along with the excellent little bar Z-Life a few doors down, It's also really nice to see one of exists for the university crowd. It's clear that the people who these coffee houses feature Chinese stuff. The classical paintings designed and set up Roadlong knew damn good and well who their and calligraphy adorning the walls are a nice touch for people who clientele were to be and tailored it directly to their needs. aren't trying to escape the idea that they're living in China. You couldn't ask for a better place to study or plan lessons. The design features several private little nooks with comfy armchairs and soft and sufficient lighting—a perfect place to curl up with one's homework or a mountain of papers to grade. There are also areas more suited to conversation, along with a big table that could be used for small seminars or discussions. 56 | M AY 2 0 1 5 The cafe offers most of the foods you'd expect with a picture menu and has a small but pleasing selection of beers and liquors. The coffee itself is on par with most of the artisan spots in the city, and they have a decent selection of teas and fruit juices. The eats and drinks at Roadlong are nothing new or special, but like everything else at the cafe they are perfectly suited for the clientele.

Discerning diners and cantankerous chefs will usually agree that no animal reigns more edible than the pig. There may be pieces of other animals that hit levels of delicious that no other creature could but there is no other animal that can be used head to toe to make some of the best food. From China to France the pigs foot is just the beginning of using pork to its fullest. And seeing as pork is a sort of national meat in China, every month we'll bring you a new way to get the most out of the tasty pig. m w o H to P a k e igears Recipe COOKING EQUIPMENT stockpot ovenproof frying pan or deep-fryer roasting tray (method 2 only) candy or deep fry thermometer MEAT 2 - 4 pig ears Wash pigs ears under cold water and remove any hair. A disposable razor works great. SIMMER mirepoix (onions, carrots, celery) water to cover Add pigs ears and mirepoix to stockpot and cover with water. Simmer, do not boil, for at least 3 hours or overnight. Skim off scum. Reserve pork stock for something delicious like braised pork loin and ramen noodles. There used to be a small BBQ window next to a low scale slaughter house where I grew up in Kansas City. The window would serve the normal KC fare but they also took every other part of the pig and served it up. Pig Ear Sandwiches were popular. You could walk up to the window and say, "Two Pig Ear Sandwiches please." The guy behind the counter would hollar back to the kitchen, "TWO LISTENERS." You were only moments away from cracklin' heaven. As we go over every month, nothing on the pig is wasted. Moreover, when you start getting into what you can do with every ones favorite piggy, the nasty bits start to be the most fun. Don’t let the off cuts scare you away. These are some of the most fun parts of the pig to cook with. There’s a sense of achievement and novelty at taking something as obscure and ugly as a pig ear and turning it into the best bar snack you’ve ever eaten. There are two main approaches to preparing pigs ears. The first is a pan-fried or roasted direction that leaves you with a delicious crunchy, somewhat meaty, cartilage chewy 60 | M AY 2 0 1 5 DRY AND CUT Remove ears from liquid and dry completely. Remove cartilage if desired. Cut into strips or long flaps. METHOD 1 // FRY OR ROAST Deep fry (375F/190C) or Pan fry with extreme caution, the oil will spit. 5-10 minutes should be sufficient. Or roast in the oven 20 minutes turning to avoid burning. piece of delicious pork that has just the right amount of gummy. There’s something about the offcuts of the pork, or even everyone’s favorite pork belly that isn’t quite flesh and isn’t quite fat. This is the texture that comes with pigs ears. And pan-frying or roasting will really bring that out. The second method is more time consuming but will leave you with a puffy piece of pork cracklin’ that can’t be beat. Cracklin’ usually has a deep greasy undertone that can turn people off from eating an entire bag full of the snack (or can keep them looking for a second one), but the cracklin’ made from the ear will give you a deep pork flavor, a considerable crunch, and leave you with a cleaner and lighter snack than the store bought version. For both versions you need to be prepared to break down the ears for a long time. This is a pretty easy process as we’re talking about simmering them for hours. It requires minimal attention and skipping this step will make your ears taste like rubber. Also, some people advocate using stock in the simmering process. I do not. It can make the next step even more difficult and slightly dangerous than it needs to be due to the amount of water it can retain inside the ear. And that next step is frying. Any part of METHOD 2 // DEHYDRATE AND FRY This is a second step that isn't absolutely necessary but creates some of the best cracklin'. After drying the pigs ears and removing the cartilage if desired, place the ears on a backing sheet lined with a silicon mat or a ton of cooking spray. Ears are gelatinous and they can easily stick to the sheet. Bake the ears on an extremely low setting (150F/65C) for 12-24 hours. At this point you might be like wow this is taking too long. Just drink more beer and leave them in the oven. You don't have to do anything with them. They are done when they are absolutely brittle and not pliable. At this stage you can store them for a very long time. When you have guests over, heat your oil high (375F/190C) and drop them in. The ears will puff up much larger than their dehydrated size. the pig (the nose, tail, ears etc.) that are a mixture of sort of flesh, fat, and cartilage can send your deep fryer into overdrive. It can splatter and that is some hot business. Get yourself a screen to put over the fryer or the pot and turn up the heat. Getting the oil to a substantially high heat is important. The instantaneous heat causes any residual water left in the ear to convert to steam on impact. This is puffiness, and puffiness is good because it’s also crispy. To make true cracklin’ from an ear you are going to want to remove the middle piece of cartilage from the center of the ear and then dehydrate the ears for up to 24 hours in a low temp oven. This will remove most of the water and make frying excellent. The good news is that after the dehydration step and before the frying, these ears will virtually never go bad because you have removed most of the water from them. Whether you’re in for the first or the second method, there are a few finishing touches you can do depending on what part of the world you’re interested in eating. Jerk seasoning is perfect with a few minutes over smoke. A little sea salt and pepper is perfect for a simple snack. You can cover them in KC BBQ sauce and put them between two pieces of the cheapest white bread you can find. You can dress them with a little English mustard and malt vinegar and pare them with a spicy mustard green salad. Basically anything you do to them at this point is golden because they are like crunchy fried pork awesome. And that is the pork we like on our fork. Season with almost anything in your pantry. I love sea salt, black pepper, and freshly ground Sichuan pepper. Immediately enter snack heaven. MAY 2 0 1 5 | 61 NIGHT LIFE Live in China Ningbo Guide caught up with John Carroll about the release of his new album, running a musci label in China, his upcoming gig in Ningbo, and generally what it's like to be a musician and live in China. John carroll & william gray Live in Ningbo. CockTail time Lounge brings you another classic cocktail recipe. 62 | M AY 2 0 1 5 by William Shipton On Saturday 30th John Carroll will be playing at The Prince Bar in Ningbo with William Gray supporting. Both artists are on the Medic Records label based in Hangzhou but both are very familiar with the city of Ningbo (if you read last month's feature you'll know William Gray used to live here). John takes a lead in running the label but is also an established artist in his own right, originally from Limerick in Ireland, but with ample experience of performing his music across China. His most recent release is Cenotaph Tapes which can be heard at carrolljohn.bandcamp.com. It's well worth a listen, along with his other output. John's first experience of living in Asia was in South Korea but he finally opted to live in China, ending up in Hangzhou where he met his Hangzhounese wife Kim and started a family. John is no stranger to Ningbo, often visiting the city purely for recreational reasons but also of course as a performer. Ningbo Guide is very much looking forward to welcoming him back in his professional capacity at the end of the month. To find out more about John's label, his music and why people in Ningbo should come and see him perform we tracked him down, cornered him and poked him with a sharp stick until he agreed to answer our questions. John Carroll's most recent release, Cenotaph Tapes (available at carrolljohn.bandcamp.com), is both highly accomplished in terms of the songwriting on display, and, at the same time, beautifully recorded. Any Westerner who has made a home in China will surely instantly relate to the second track, the wistful If I'd Known, evoking as it does that feeling of alienation most of us must experience, at least sometimes, no matter how much boozing and partying we do with our fellow laowais in splendid isolation, immersed as we still nevertheless are, in a radically different culture to that which we grew up in. Another standout moment comes in the form of the fourth track on the LP, the astutely crafted You Used To Be My Brush, which revels in its melancholy feel and features a unique and melodically pleasing guitar part before a simple and nicely panned string section enters the musical fray to lift the arrangement, the outro closing out with a curious acoustic guitar refrain which may, for some listeners, conjure up the lucid feel of the Incredible String Band. For those who like their instrumentation impressively rendered, with the track Desperation Looms the acoustic guitar playing, if it's technical proficiency you're wishing to wallow in, is splendidly silky. This then is an album that warrants repeated listening and, as far as we at the Ningbo Guide are concerned, certainly worthy of wider recognition in the modern folk sphere.

NG: We heard a little bit about William Gray's somewhat strange EP title Tish last month - what does Cenotaph Tapes refer to? I had the title for a long time because I used to record all my home demos on a crappy old cassette player - hence the 'tapes'. Most of the songs are about personal difficulties I've experienced over the past number of years which I'd been carrying as a deadweight on my shoulders for too long. I felt the need to unload it somehow, so I thought of the idea of a memorial/cenotaph that marked that time in my life, to help me to move on - hence that's how the Cenotaph Tapes idea came about.

NG: You mentioned you recently played Midi Festival. How did your set go and what was the experience like as a whole? This was actually the third time for me at Midi Festival. It's such a great experience to play a festival, not only to showcase your own work, but you get to meet and talk to some of the best contemporary artists in the country.

Since then, the recipe has given way to many variations. However it's made, the Singapore Sling is the quintessential summer drink— fruity, long and served ice cold—perfect for making it through the heat and humidity we're about to be dealing with. Traditionally all “sling’s” were American drinks made with spirit and water that were then sweetened and flavored.

It can be found to be little more than gin, sweet and sour, and grenadine, which sort of tastes as good going down as it does coming up. How It's Done: This recipe from Lounge is exceptionally more delicious. The use of fresh juices is a must and will make the entire drink tart and delicious while taking some of the bite off the gin. The Cherry liqueur lends a great tartness to the drink. Any way you shake it, the drink is great for our warm and humid Ningbo summers. Shake well. Fill a Collins glass 1/3 of the way with ice. Put all the liquid ingredients into the shaker, followed by the same amount of ice as is in the glass.

The spectacle was large and the crowd was loud as they cheered on for their favorite fighters. The competitors came from all over China, Europe and the United States. The event was televised and the commentary was provided by two local Chinese hosts and our very own Josh who covered the fights in English. All of the fights were popular, quick, and action packed. Most fights were scheduled for no more than three rounds and though all of them were anticipated, no more so than the Women’s MMA match.

WOMEN'S mARATHON Coverage of Ningbo's first Women's Half Marathon. 68 | M AY 2 0 1 5 Someone asked me recently: “What are the differences between Taichi, Qigong and Yoga?” A very good question, and since we’re in China, I thought I’d draw the parallels between ancient practices from China (namely Taichi and Qigong) with those of India (yoga of course). Philosophical & Esoteric Roots of Both Yoga & Qi Practices First of all, I should clarify the basics: Yoga is part of Ayurveda (a type of Hindu traditional medicine) and first came into taught knowledge in The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and Qigong and Taichi are elements of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). Typically, they all involve a range of movements and breathing, using breath to invoke a meditative state and move energy within, around and through the physical and energetic body. All are also practiced as a means of raising awareness and consciousness. In addition to Qigong and Taichi, other TCM practices involving the harnessing and unblocking of qi include acupuncture, tui na (a type of massage), moxibustion, cupping and a range of Taoist (mostly sexual) practices. through movements. All Qi practices and Yoga practices apply different and wide-ranging techniques, and are active meditations that enable our physical bodies to fully align with our energetic bodies. Qi (氣), often translated as ‘natural energy’, ‘life force’ or ‘energy flow’, is the underlying principle of TCM, first introduced by philosopher Mo Di, and Qi practices first introduced much later by classical Toaist masters. Similar to Western notions of the Humours, and ancient yogic notions of Prana (in Sanskrit) or ‘vital energy’, Qi is the metaphorical notion for the flow of energy around and through our bodies. This flow of energy generates within us a youthfulness and vitality when nourished. Through Qi practices, like Taichi and Qigong, our Qi can balance, strengthen and flow. By understanding our Qi’s rhythm and flow, these practices can enable us to feel more vibrant and balanced long-term. The same applies in yoga practice, through it our Prana can strengthen and flow. In a sense, yoga itself, quite like Qi practices, is about harnessing, unblocking and nourishing the flow of Qi. Only it’s called something else in Sanskrit, that’s really the only difference. The Meridians vs. The Nadis We’ve all seen those body maps of the Meridians, and some of us (myself included) have had acupuncture either in or outside of China for the rebalancing of energy and curing of minor ailments or illnesses. The difference between the two is again through their terms because conceptually they are virtually the same. Qi circulates in highly charged channels known as Meridians, and Prana circulates in highly charged channels known as Nadis. The intense Meridian points are known as Acupoints and the intense Nadi points are known as the Chakras. Symptoms of various ailments or illnesses are believed to be the product of imbalanced, deficient or blocked Qi. The Meridians and Nadis are like energetic maps in our bodies, and believed to define us as much as, if not more than, our physical bodies can. The Balancing, Unblocking & Harnessing Of Qi In Qigong, this harnessing of Qi is practiced through a combination of movements, selfmassage, breathing and meditation, in Taichi, Through the breath, mental focus and physical movements or poses (Asanas in Sanskrit), all three practices harness, unblock and elevate our vital energy or Qi upwards to our crown (crown chakra or Sahasrara in Sanskrit). This starts from our contact with the ground, or the ‘primordial force’ as modern Taoist master Mantak Chia calls it. The aim, if we can call it that, is to maximize our health and wellbeing by experience a life of full of vitality, youthfulness and energy, which in turn bring about a sense of happiness, stability and balance. If you, through one of these practices, have grown to feel more vibrant, energized or rejuvenated, it is because your Meridians, or Nadis are unblocked, and your vital energy or Qi has become unblocked, elevated, strong and free flowing. I know it sounds like a fairy tale, but all I can say is that through practice I know Qigong, Taichi and Yoga are very effective in energising and balancing our bodies. Personally speaking, I prefer the depth that Yoga provides us with on both a structural-muscular level as well as on an energetic level. Although Qi is conceptualized as a metaphorical concept and not a scientific one, what does that matter if working with it through a regular practice like Yoga (or Taichi or Qigong) makes us feel vibrant? Gabriella Buttarazzi Gabriella Buttarazzi first encountered the established Teacher Training School Yoga Integral Dharma Ananda whilst living in Valencia, Spain from 2010. Before that, quite like many, she had only dabbled with yoga as a recreational activity. Noticing the profound effects it had on her body and mind, she decided to train in and subsequently teach Integral Yoga. It has been an on-going process of learning from and adapting to her inspiring students. She has built a resources and information site in both Chinese and English in order to further support her students here in Ningbo. what is integral yoga?

A group of 35-40 cyclists of all shapes and sizes with all shapes and sizes of bikes too, gathered at Nottingham University on Saturday morning. First we had our bikes (and brakes!) checked by Simon and Matt who organised the trip. Safety helmets were definitely required! 74 | M AY 2 0 1 5 The group was made up of mostly teachers, staff and students of the university. We set off at 10am and cycled south out of the city on the main roads and then onto country roads heading towards Xiang Xi village. The traffic was fast and busy but after a while it got quieter. On the first morning, in bright sunshine, we went about 10kms, to a small town, where we had a quick stop to eat energy snacks and drink water. I had an ice cream! Then we began the ascent of the mountain, which is roughly 350 meters above sea level. Thankfully there was a support vehicle to help people who found the climb too difficult. It was hot but I did manage about half of the climb until I had no energy left in my legs and my dad had to push my bike up the rest of the hill. Eventually the support van came past after having collected some students from behind us who were unprepared for the effort involved, and took me to the top with my bike. Once we made it to the top we met up with the rest of the group and had big banana and fruit bread sandwiches and energy drink. After a short rest, we then got to freewheel down the other side of the hill, which was really good fun, going quite fast but not having to do any hard work pedalling the bike. Some people swam in a mountain pool but I couldn’t because my swimsuit was in the support van. We rode on to a small village called Tong Cun near Xiang Xi village and set up our tents by the reservoir. Unfortunately the water level in the reservoir had dropped by 2-3 meters since last year and so instead of being able to swim easily from the edge of the campsite we had to walk across a soggy, flat piece of land to reach the water. My brother and me then had a ride in inflatable kayaks to row out to a bridge in the middle of the reservoir and we jumped off it and swam around it. It was very cold but very refreshing. MAY 2 0 1 5 | 75 My brother and me were the only two children on the trip and were given the job of building and looking after a big campfire. We had to keep searching for wood, which was even more difficult after it rained, as all the wood around the campsite was wet. My dad and brother cycled into the village and found some wood which was given to them for free as it was from off-cuts sitting outside houses. We cooked chicken wraps and soup and then slept “really well” in sleeping bags. Breakfast was hot bacon pancakes, which tasted really good in the countryside. The second day we had to do another hill climb, which was difficult but we did get to go down a really steep, fast hill before heading back to the city. Overall, we cycled 75-80 kilometers this weekend. I managed to do all of it except for about half of each of the two hill climbs. I saw a bit of life in the countryside different to the city. I had a great time, saw some great views from the top of the mountain, swam in a cold lake, met some new people sitting around a campfire and above all got some really good exercise. I hope you enjoyed my article as much as I did! See you next month!! Elodie Sadoux-Gray 76 | M AY 2 0 1 5 kids NBIS Defeats AIAN in Boys' Soccer Match The Ningbo International School (NBIS) boys senior soccer team won its fourth consecutive match on the afternoon of April 8th. This time it was against Access International Academy Ningbo (AIAN) in a strong, physical contest on the main field at Zhejiang Wanli University. AIAN drew first blood with a quick goal but the boys from NBIS kept their cool and replied quickly levelling the scores. The speed of the AIAN players saw them get another goal before NBIS were able to react but teamwork and tenacity led to a second goal for NBIS with the first half finishing at an even 2-2. calm and the goals came with the final result 5-2 in favor of NBIS. It was a great team effort and the boys should be very proud of their efforts. “The squad has put the hard work into training all season and have been supportive of each other, allowing everyone to enjoy the game,” said coach Tony Fuller. “All players have improved their skills and attitudes and some have made huge gains. Our focus was on communication at the beginning of the season and they not only picked that up but discovered that all players were assets and learned to appreciate them. It has The second half became a bit more been a pleasure to coach them this year physical and NBIS weathered some strong and I hope they continue to enjoy football challenges. Sticking to the plan NBIS kept and consider playing again next season.” MAY 2 0 1 5 | 77 DIRECTORY eat & drink nightlife fashion & home arts & leisure body & mind travel kids business american & western food Bar di Vino Bar & Restaurant No.117, Caihong (N) Road, Jiangdong District (0574 8733 5777) 迪维诺西餐&酒吧 江东区彩虹北路117号 Julian 47 Shengyuan Lane, Moon Lake Garden, Haishu District (0574 8818 7900) 朱莉安西餐厅 海曙区月湖盛园盛园巷47号 Lounge 潮 Classy food and decor set in 1920's deco Shanghai style.
