Amore's hasn't redecorated since the last time they made this list. Still the best choice for Italian in Ningbo, though. Picanha's Brazilian BBQ relocated more than a year ago. It's now on the 2nd floor of the Ningbo World Hotel (宁波大酒店）on Zhongshan rd across from Tianyi Square. IMO, you missed the best new ... Full Comment>>

"city-to-city by bus is never cheaper than by train.". The bus from my city to Shanghai: 90 rmb. Second class train ticket? 105 rmb. Full Comment>>

Wouldn't it be awesome to setup an owl or two in the movie theaters here? "*Ringtone*....Wei?! Shrrreeeiiikkk!!!" Full Comment>>

And then after a month, you'll never hear about it again, and we'll regress right back to where we started.....assuming any improvement was made at all (highly doubtful!). Full Comment>>

Interesting input mike. I've no idea about cantonese, other than I can't understand a lick of it! But I think the admin made a good change....sorta leaves it up to the reader's own interpretation. Maybe some more optimistic people will just subliminally insert a comma so it becomes "Love, your mother". Full Comment>>

Are you sure about the translation of that last line? 爱你的妈妈 reads a lot more like a suggestion or command to "Love your mother" versus "Love you, mum". Cultural differences, I'm sure. Full Comment>>

Yeah, you do :P Donnie Yen? Ip Man? Awesome movie, and I think his kung fu is a lot better than the top 3 listed. On the girls side, the top 3 have been in movies released in the US, so they're at least somewhat known. You haven't seen Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Zhang Ziyi), Miami Vice (Gong Li), or Transporter ... Full Comment>>

"As well, the cost of using taxis in China is much less expensive than using cabs in China." Wait what? Full Comment>>

This is why, unless it's just 100% impossible, you take the train. Full Comment>>

Math > you. 5000 - 1000 = 4000 yuan. Also, reading comprehension > you. "ANOTHER reason for the divorce..." Full Comment>>

Just below the solitary pic is a link "More photos>>" Enjoy :P Full Comment>>

"To overcome your fear of eating Chinese food, you simply just have to dive in chopsticks first and give it a stab. The absolute worst that can happen is that you won’t like it." No, the worst is....well, see your section 5. (Hint, involves projectile vomiting and explosive diarrhea, often concurrently.) Full Comment>>

The picture is not necessarily of the crime mentioned in the article. eChinacities (and many other sites) will many times just use some appropriate looking stock photo from the internet. Full Comment>>

I'm sure the bar patrons will respect these new signs and bar owners will enforce these new rules as much as the current "No Smoking" signs/rules. LOL. Full Comment>>

Or you can take the subway for less than 10 rmb...albeit in a potentially crammed sardine can for 1.5 hours. Full Comment>>

I deem this blog the winnAr! But, given the fact that this blog will definitely hurt a lot of "feelings"....you may just have to settle for honorable mention ;( Full Comment>>

BYD F0! Top of the line! Full Comment>>

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em! I love my little car in China. Sure beats the sardine experience that is the public transportation system. Also beats getting gypped by the local cabbies. This honk's for you! *beep*! Full Comment>>

How do these Harley owners get plates? My understanding of Chinese rules and regulations is that any motorcycle in excess of 250cc is not allowed to register for a license plate. Last I checked, the smallest motor on offer from H-D is 883cc.... Full Comment>>

Is that your real name, or did you just mispell "Caulfield" from "The Catcher in the Rye"? If it's the former, then your parents have an interesting sense of humor. Full Comment>>

"The general population is becoming more conscious of queues, while there’s less spitting, smoking indoors and excessive horn honking." Please tell me in which part of China this is occurring, because all of the above habits are still the cultural norm here! Perhaps the author of the article would like to ... Full Comment>>

Perhaps a tinge of sarcasm...I hope anyways. Full Comment>>

"China still has a long way to go towards sending probes to the edges of the Milky Way Galaxy, as the US has already done. " Uhh, we have a couple probes at the edge of the Solar System, but the galaxy? LOL? Maybe the writer has been watching too many USA TV Programs (Star Trek)....Probably hates Sulu too, ...

You might want to check on that proverb :愚公移山. A quick check with google says "Foolish Old Man"....nothing about "where there's a will, there's a way". Full Comment>>
