One night we were wandering around Xintiandi and found ourselves on NonChang road, where we almost walked past the Petit Cat Cafe. A sign on the road points the way into a small alleyway.
China
A country I lived in for over ten years.
Ordos
Ordos is know as one of China’s “ghost cities”. It was built with the intention of housing millions of people, instead it only houses thousands.
If you’ve lived in China for a while, Ordos is strange.
在内蒙古吃羊肉
While in Inner Mongolia we had the opportunity to try Mongolian food. It was pretty expensive for Chinese food but we were in the middle of nowhere and pretty damn hungry so the only place we could find was this tourist trap.
Mausoleum of Genghis Kahn
Near the city of Ordos in Inner Mongolia can be found the Mausoleum of Genghis Kahn. This is not the resting place of Genghis Kahn, since it is unknown where his remains actually lie. Rather, it is a collection of his treasures and a holy place.
Dive Bar Graffiti Artist
There’s a dive bar near my place of work in Shanghai known as C’s (not sure what the C stands for…). In my first month in Shanghai I went there with my girlfriend where she taught me the infamous DICE GAME that rattles across many pubs in Chi.
