Jing-An
(Note for the new: I live in an area of Shanghai called Jing-An)
Whilst I had a wonderful Christmas season in England, it was good to get back to Shanghai- after all, as the old saying goes Jing-An make us much warmer and fragranter.
Some people say that Jing-An isn’t central in Shanghai, that it’s a little too far north to be amongst the good bar and restaurant action. What these people forget is that the melody of civilization is singing from here.
And they’d do well to remember that.
Fools.

I live adjecent to Jing’An. Like literally across the street. HUANGPU TIL I DIE!!!
(er, well, not quite true as I first lived in Luwan. Anyways, Jing’An has Munchies and Gourmet Cafe so those French Concessionaires can stuff it)

I live In Jing An as well, and I allways thought that it make us much warmer and fraganter, and I also had some, I don´t know, call It instinct, or sixt sense or whatever that the melody of civilisation was singed from there. Sure.

JING-AN POSSE IN FULL EFFECT!
T- literally across the street from there = you live in the park? Email plaza? In the subway station?
Freddy- it’s the centre of the fragrant world.

E-Mail Fashion plaza, only for that name Jing An deserves to be the Best Shanghai Hood EVER!
Jing An Hood bro!
James I pillaged the pics for my blog. Suite me. (and I´m not saying you to take me to the Taylor market.)
;)

Jing An is the armpit of Shanghai. Huangpu is where it’s at. Fragranter is just a euphemism for stinky.

That´s war.

WoAi is just jealous because his hood ain’t no good.
Freddy- whatever the spanish is for “no problem”!
January 7th, 2009 at pm
Yo, you Jingan and Huangpu mo’fo’s blow man, Luwan is where it’s at, props to the Luwan massive!!
Err, or something…
January 7th, 2009 at pm
James the Spanish for “no problem” is “no problemo”.
Dingle - Luwan is full of snivelling half men!

Never trust Spanish lessons from Arnold The Governator. Well, never trust nothing from him but a punch in your face.
JAmes-The correct way is : “Comeme las pelotas.”
but it´s true that “No hay problema” also works.
Dingle-Lu Wan has a place called Manhattan Heights. Where are you going with that name?
Let´s have a fight like The Warriors or something like that. :D
January 7th, 2009 at pm
No I mean I live in Huangpu, but if I cross the road going west, I’m in Jing’An.

righto, bagsie we’re the baseball furies!
January 8th, 2009 at am
Manhattan Heights is just down the road from me on Wuding Lu, in Jing-An I think?
Lu Wan can stack an arty Taikang Lu full of Japanese photographers, against Kangding Lu with its Serbian bars and row of pink light haircut parlours, any day of the week.
January 8th, 2009 at am
James- True, it´s in Jing An. Then, Manhattan Heights Rock. What a hell of a name isn´t it?
Lu Wan people would love to have it!
:D

I laugh at you plebs arguing about where’s better, Jing An or Luwan, its like saying Hull is better than Burnley.
I would rather live in a cave in Shaanxi than in either of those slums.
Xuhui is where the cool cats live.

Freddie, what’s going on over at your blog, it’s all in foreign or something??
January 8th, 2009 at pm
Yeah, I know that spanish is a dead language like Latin or Apalachee, but there is a few people in the world that can still understood it, so I decided to write in Spanish for them, as a gift from me u know?
January 8th, 2009 at pm
I’ve been to Benidorm, everyone there speak English. This “Spanish” thing is just a trick.
XuHui? I wouldn’t even drive through it to get to a pile of money.
January 8th, 2009 at pm
I’ve seen that tv series called Benidorm, there was only one guy in it speaking spanish and he was the evil waiter who scuttled everyone’s wife. Well, he never ACTUALLY spoke Spanish but he had a funny accent, he was definitely foreign!
I went to xuhui once, it was the worst experience of my whole life
January 8th, 2009 at pm
Benidorm, LLoret de Mar etc. are concentration camps for tourist that are, in fact, situated somewhere in France. So you spend your money there without anoying the rest of Spain.
We put there fat spanish girls, cheap alcohol and some Bulls and Flamenco shit so you think that you are really in our country.
January 8th, 2009 at pm
So is all that flamenco nonsense just for show? I knew there was something very odd about the whole business.
Where do you hide the real Spain? Is it somewhere in Hungary? I demand to know!
January 8th, 2009 at pm
Nobody knows, even ourselves don´t.
The Franco Dictatorship (because General Franco is still alive for your information) hides Spain to the world, creating an illusion of a modern (well…modern…u understand what I mean..) and democratic country. But the reallity is that we are a really closed, depresed and poor country like north Korea, Iran or France. And we are all black.
January 8th, 2009 at pm
Never mind Freddy, you’ll find the real Spain eventually.
I usually find things in the pocket of a jacket that I haven’t worn for a long time- have you tried looking there?
This Franco sounds like a nice guy.
January 8th, 2009 at pm
Yes, he is one of my prefered celebrityes together with Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, Victoria Beckham and M……..A……. O (you have to be carefull here).

Guys guys guys, you’re all forgetting that Pudong is THE only place to live in Shanghai… Full of Culture and Dreams if i remember correctly.
January 8th, 2009 at pm
Pudong? PUDONG?!
January 9th, 2009 at am

January 9th, 2009 at pm

January 9th, 2009 at pm
