In last months issue we covered this event, featur-ing two popular and original acts from continen-tal Europe, experienced French songwriter (and headliner) Arnaud-Fleurent Didier and Belgian act Clo du Trfle, both of whom will be playing at the REDSTAR early this month. Added to the bill for the evening is Canadian Alex Nevsky, a formidable hip-hop influenced pianist, guitarist and singer (not to be confused with the Greek house DJ of the same name). These three acts, brought on tour to China by Alliance Francaise, make for one entertaining evening.

Contact 135 8320-6332 for ticketing enquiries (50, 40 (RS Card), 30 (Students with ID). Tour organised with the support of Institut Franais, a new trademark for the cultural initiatives of France

overseas (www.institutfrancais.com), and Belgian and Canadian Embassies.

Long-time rock drummer and a key figure in the inception of rock music in China Zhao Mu Yang performs in Qingdao this month.

Zhaos career in music began in earnest in the late 80s, when he relocated to Beijing from Xibei, and formed Precious Brother , a group whose line up included Chinese heavy metal behemoths Tang Dynastys current bassist, Gu Zhong. Further into his career, he was a founding member of 90s heavy metal bands Overload and The Breath-ing , before moving to stringed instruments and folk music for solo performances. 50 on the door. 40 advance purchase/students. 136 6886-6600.

Swinging ex-punk rocker Kent plays at Ocean Univer-sity this month, in yet another compelling cultural event organised by Alliance Francaise. A former member of Starshooter, one of Frances pivotal 1970s punk bands, Kent (real name - Herve Despesse) is a musician whose bluesy roots and natural vocals lend his songwriting a fun and boisterous character. Star-shooter formed in 1975, released a self-titled first EP in 1977 and their final in 1981, and since that seminal but short-lived Lyon act split up in 1982, singer/gui-tarist Kent has been composing solo.

His expansive creative output hit a peak in the nineties, when he was releasing a full album nearly every two years. It was during this decade that his mainstream popularity peaked, with releases such as 1991s Tous les Hommes and partly due to pop singer Enzo Enzos hit recording of his song Juste Quelquun de Bien. In general, his music is continually optimis-tic and upbeat, from his time with Starshooter to present solo projects. Kent is also a novelist, science fiction writer, comic artist and advocate for ecologi-cal conservation, with much of his concentration on divulging issues such as the struggles with rising sea levels of Pacific island nations such as Tuvalu.

The event takes place at the somewhat difficult-to-find

auditorium near Ocean Universitys new sports stadium in Laoshan. Tickets (free) are available from REDSTAR (135 8320-6332) and Alliance Francaise (8590-6232).

Its 1997, and an informal gathering of mostly Cali-fornian punk rock royalty sit down for a jam session. The group, comprised of members of Lagwagon, NOFX, Foo Fighters and No Use For A Name jam souped-up versions of classics by the likes of Elton John, Neil Diamond, Boyz 2 Men and Billy Joel in a punchy fashion, distilling several minutes of lament-ing, soulful ballad into neer so much as a breath of wild drumming and yelled vocals. This group, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, are still tearing classic songs new holes across America. They will not be coming to Qingdao in March.

But the band that bill themselves as Chinas equiva-lent are! Dude, made of one American singer, one Polish guitarist, one French bassist and a Chinese drummer rehash all your least-loved KTV classics, including a growling, snarling version of Ye Chao favourite, Nobody (nobody but you), which we are sure you will all agree was in need of a drastic revision. Theyve released a naughtily-titled record, This is not his mothers KTV (literal translation) and proved such an entertaining band in Chinas un-derground scene that theyve already played Midi, Shijiazhuang and even Qingdaos own Golden Beach music festivals.

Packed with local rock fans as sHooters usually is on gig nights, most of whom consider KTV the devil, this is guaranteed to be a fun evening. 40 on the door, 30 advance/students. Contact 136 6886-6600.

One of the Grand Theatres major international productions this month, The Little Mermaid ballet features Australias Queensland Ballet Ensemble, one of only three fully professional ballet troupes in Australia. The ensemble, which recently celebrated their 50th anniversary, are led by French Director and Chief Choreographer, Franois Klaus, and focus largely on family-friendly productions.

Their Little Mermaid is one such full-length adaptation that has given this ensemble such a re-spected name worldwide. In 2010, they also did full versions of The Nutcracker, Romeo and Juliet and Swan Lake. The troupe contains one Chinese dancer, Yu Hui of Hangzhou, who joined in January 2007 after a two-year scholarship with the New Zealand School of Dance, and who has been de-scribed as An absolute standout, by audiences in Australia.

Tickets 50 - 380. Contact 8066-5555 for ticketing information. Tickets are also available from Tianho Piano Store at Fuzhou Lu and Minjiang Lu intersection in the downtown area.

Founder, NAX Logistics

What challenges did you encounter building a worldwide logistics company? Every logistics company dreams to become a global enterprise. The fact is there is still not a worldwide logistics company here in China so far. We focus on the services that we deliver, and consider expansion as secondary. We have to be proficient in the laws and regulations of Customs, Commodity Inspection, Immigration Management, Taxes, Finance, Interna-tional Trade and other respects, as well as be familiar with the management and culture of the foreign en-terprises we service. It has taken a long time to build our team, and it will always be a work in progress. It takes a lot of patience, and not a desire of quick suc-cess or instant benefits.

What kinds of dreams does your daughter have for the future?

She always changes her dream, from a policewoman to assistant in a ice cream parlor. I will support her to do whatever she wants if it makes her happy. I think what we parents hope is that our children will contribute to society.

Your daughters are also recognised for their creative work - do you think its genetic, or is it something youve encouraged at home?My daughters might have genetic influences, but I believe that their childhood environment has impacted them a lot. When I would focus on my artwork, they would bring sketchbooks and crayons and start to draw. Also, art museums were their amusement. The oldest, Yooin is studying Graphic Design in School of Visual Art New York and learning and doing internships with her dream companies, like Sesame Street, Sony, MoMA, Pentagram. Second, Josephine is going to New York to study Computer Art in a few months. And the youngest, Michelle - art is a huge part of her, but I hope shell consider including it as a minor with some other subject!

What do you to unwind?Unwind? Thats something I need to learn. Im one of those people who doesnt know how to relax. I will always find something to do and will still be moving about in the house till midnight. I look at it this way - when my daughter grows up and goes away to school, I will have all the time in the world to watch all our DVDs, read books, knit and crochet and maybe even reply to all my Facebook requests. For now, its my obligation to give her the chance to take full advantage of all the opportunities around her; to see, feel, taste, touch, hear, experience and hopefully to remember and most importantly to appreciate.

What inspires your music?It is about anguish in ado-lescence, about uncertainty when one first comes into society. Back then, I though of myself as ugly and poor, I wanted to fall in love with someone, and I wanted to be dif-ferent from others. But I cannot create these kind of songs now, due to having a more clear insight of living in society, having no confusion, and having grown older.

Are you still recording?I havent written songs for a long time, almost 3 years. I am concen-trating on making money, my biggest interest now. My store aims to girls all around the country, and I really like my job; although the business is unpredictable, girls are picky about details when it comes to fashion!

Qingdao Municipal Museum

The first gallery tells the history of the first occupants of the region, over 7000 years ago. Reproductions of typical scenes of that era and several millennia-old pottery transport you to another world, where crudely-styled villagers display their rudimentary weapons and a few other artifacts, and offer evi-dence that the regions early inhabitants shared our local passion for fish.

A reconstruction of a typical street in the early 1900s recalls the period of German occupation, and the exhibit sheds light on why the German government made Qingdao its main base in China. Visitors read about the concession of the area by the Allies to the Japanese, which directly led to the famous May Fourth Movement (The Wind of May, enshrined on the coast in front of Qingdaos current City Hall). Outraged at the injustice of the Treaty of Versailles, the people developed new a sense of nationalism, which helped lead to the establishment of the PRC.

Upper floors house an amazing collection of coins, antique porcelain and historical artifacts. A further exhibition hall

sheds light on the habits and customs of other inhabitants of Shandong, who,

despite their geographical proximity, are remarkably different from Qingdao-ren. In all,

its an enlightening experience.

Qingdao, Cheap and CheerfulRich History, Low Budget

While many of us spend our lives in the shadow of Qingdaos new landscape of glass and steel, it can be difficult to find any evidence of the citys rich heritage. But its here, its well worth discovering and, best of all, it can often be experienced at a very reasonable price.

As temperatures creep above freezing, and before the tour groups begin mobbing our idyllic parks with their banners and micro-phones, take an opportunity to visit a few of these beloved local destinations.

Boardwalk

A century ago, civic life was centred around the harbour on the western end of the peninsula; new developments reach ever closer to the beautiful, sacred tourist kingdom of Laoshan, to the east. Between them, Qingdaos coast stretches like a timeline measuring out the citys history of growth and prosperity. Long segments are accessible on foot - for example, you can walk from the 1930s to the present day by starting at the (recently repur-posed) site of Chinas first sailing club on Nanhai Lu; walking East among the German villas of the Badaguan neighbourhood, and the wedding parties having their photos taken there; past the postmod-ern skyscrapers and international-standard shop-ping malls on Donghai Lu; and finally to Qingdao International Sailing Center, site of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Regatta as well as a growing list of other local and international sailing events. Its a great way to spend a beautiful morning or afternoon get-ting in touch with Qingdaos rich history and bright future, and it doesnt cost a thing.

Xiao Yu Shan

Qingdaos hilltop parks always offer a re-freshing diversion. Xiao Yu Shan (Little Fish

Hill) Park is renowned for its quiet, winding pathways and terrific views; from the top

of the pagoda, the world appears evenly split between earth and water, separated

by a streak of sand (the famous No 1 Bathing Beach) which is often dotted with colourful

sunbathers.

Amid the canopy of green, the roofs and al-leyways of Old Town remind visitors that this eco-

nomic powerhouse has seen quieter, downright sleepy days.

But if youre going to do it, do it during the off season - when scenery-starved tourists start arriving in May, this idyllic public park will likely be overrun until September (and the price goes up starting in April).

Tianhou Palace

Dating back to the year 1467, this Daoist temple to Ma Zu, the Protector of Seafarers, is also home to Qingdaos Folk Customs Museum. Other temples to Ma Zu are dotted along Chinas coast.

The museum best described as a collection, with

a few very cool artifacts (one magnificent wooden peacock of extraordinary dimension and detail) and a number of historically or culturally interesting paintings and photos. One of these paintings shows old Qingdao as a bustling little town, with thirty shops and businesses and over 400 people rendered in almost photographic detail. The perspective is from the harbour looking back towards the town - how such a viewpoint was actually achieved hun-dreds of years ago is a puzzle.Immediately west of the temple complex is an alley with traditional handicrafts, well worth a visit if youre in the neighbourhood!

You dont get a runny nose and sore throat because of the viruses invading your body, but because your bodys balance between cold and warm is disrupt-ed for instance, when you went outside in Febru-ary with wet hair. You can pop all the decongestants you want, but you should really start drinking more hot water to keep these kinds of imbalances from occurring in the first place.

Such is the wisdom of traditional Chinese medical theory (TCM). It is certainly an ancient practice, with documentation from as early as 200 BCE, but its practitioners continue to thrive in great numbers. TCM looks at the human body as a complex universe where everything is connected and interdependent. Many people associate TCM with the more clinical aspects of smelly herbal concoctions and acupunc-ture, but in fact it is a complete realm of thought that parallels Western physiological science; every-thing that we put on or into our bodies (from what

we wear to the air we breathe to the food we eat), and everything that we do with them (from when we sleep to how we exercise), has some impact on the functioning of the whole system.

Viewed in this way, Traditional Chinese Medicine is a bit of a misnomer, as it leads us to think in terms of treating apparent, exceptional disorders, when in fact it describes a fundamental approach to life and an as-piration to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature. That said, there are certainly remedies for all kinds of issues theres nothing like having a stuffy nose give way to a high-pressure massage, or finding that mos-quitos stop biting you after a meal of fried scorpion. If you feel like your being may be out of balance for any reason, consultation with a TCM physician might help you put things back into perspective.

Zhong Yao The World of Traditional Chinese Medicine

13 culture

Chinese doctors usually talk about jin (essence), qi (vital force), shen (mind, spirit) as part of our lives from birth till death. These forces follow path-ways in the body in pursuit of restoring balance.

QiIn TCM qi is treated as the fundamental substance of the human body, and its movements explain various life processes. Qi in its physiological sense consti-tutes, replenishes and nourishes the human body. Qi is often called vital energy, because its believed to be the motivational energy derived form essential substance for various vital processes. In a healthy body, qi circulates along the meridians in a regular way. Health problems appear when the flow of qi is obstructed.

MeridiansMeridians, or channels, are invisible paths through which qi flows. Meridians form an energy network that connects all parts of the body to one another and also the body to the universe. Our body has 12 major meridians, each one is related to a specific or-gan system. The meridians connect the interior with exterior and the upper body with the lower body. This network of meridians through which qi flows makes the body into an organic whole.

The meridian network is like a system of highways and cities. The highways (meridians) and the cities (major organs) form an entire energy map of the body. As a traffic problem may lead to difficulties with some of the major cities it is the same for the human body, if qi is obstructed in its flow through the network of meridians it will affect some of the organs in the body.

Yin-YangAccording to Chinese philosophy yin (associated with nighttime, femininity, cool foods, etc) and yang (associated with heat, daylight, masculinity, hot foods, etc) are complimentary opposites within a greater whole. Everything has both yin and yang, which are constantly in motion, interact with one another, and indeed become one another over time.

The classic example is the effect of dropping a stone in a calm pool of water: the act will simultaneously raise waves (yang) and lower troughs (yin) between them, and this alternation of high and low points will radiate outward till the movement disappears and the surface is calm.

TCM regards human life as a physiological process in constant motion and change. In normal condi-tions the waxing and waning of yin and yang are kept within certain bounds, reflecting a dynamic equilib-rium of the physiological processes. When this balance is broken, for example by a person ingesting too much calorie-dense food in hot weather, disease occurs.

Fauna-copiaSnakesSnakes are used for boosting immunity and raising energy levels. Snakes are praised for their medical qualities, especially when they are preserved in liquor barrels. The gallbladder of a Chinese rat snake is said to be great for poor vision. A snakes penis is great for warming the kidney and enriching the qi, but the price is rather stiff at 20,000 a kilo.

AntsAnts are among the most most highly-prized insects in China. They are good for arthritis or as an aphrodisiac. Em-peror Qianlong is said to have had ants regularly in his diet and was known to be one of the happiest emperors. He claimed that his youthful look was due to his diet. At around 200 per kilo, ants seem to be a bargain for what they can do for you.

Deer Deer is very commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine. Every single part of the deer is considered valuable the guiding principle is that whatever you eat affects that same area. The dears antlers are ground up and mixed with hot water into a paste (), believed to tone the kidney, remove obstructions in meridians, help produce breast milk, and (like many

Chinese Herbal MedicineHerbal medicine is a major pillar of TCM. There are about 600 herbs commonly used today. Chinese medicines are made from plants, animals and minerals in the form of creams, balls, tinctures, soups, granules, and needles. These herbs are believed to cure diseases, relieve pain and restore health. According to legend, the first herbalist in Chinese tradition was Shen Nong Shi, who is said to have tasted hundreds of herbs and shared his knowledge with farmers. The 15th century physician Li Shizhen, compiled a 52-volume medical textbook, Compendium of Materia Medica (), describing the benefits of different herbs and other medical treatments.

LicoriceLicorice is used to adjust the effects of other treatments, and is very common in TCM phar-macies. On its own, it is considered to be effec-tive against hepatitis, sore throat and muscle spasms.


Other TCM TherapiesDepending on the different symptoms and with every individual patient in mind Chinese doctors use four types of diagnostic methods: observation ( wng), sound and smell ( wn), asking about the patients background ( wn) and taking the pulse ( qi). The pulse-reading component is so impor-tant that patients may refer to going to the doctor as Going to have my pulse felt.

TCM doctors use a range of traditional practices for curing, restoring health and keeping the body healthy. These practices include herbal medicine; acupuncture; massage; diets; cupping; and medical qigong exercises.

Dietary therapyA basic tenet of traditional medicine is that if you eat right, youll be healthy. In Chinese medicine the diet is regarded as the first line of treatment, and acupuncture and herbal treatments are used only af-ter changes in diet have failed to cure the problem. Foods are used to keep the body in harmony with both internal and external environments. Chinese physicians take into account, the seasons, the weather, and geographic regions specific imbalance in order to select foods that will counteract excesses or supply deficient elements.

QigongQigong is exercise to regulate the mind and breath-ing in order to control or promote the flow of qi. Tru-ly, this is a universe unto itself, as the term qigong covers everything from aerobic exercises and taiji-quan to massaging the ocular muscles (to nourish the liver, of course) and meditative breathing.

Acupuncture and Moxibustion The acupuncture practitioner first selects appropri-ate points along different meridians according to different symptoms. Then very fine stainless steel needles are inserted into these points, and left in place for about 15 to 30 minutes.

Acupuncture is often prescribed in combination with moxibustion, a process where sticks made of dry moxa leaves are ignited and held about an inch above the patients skin over specific acupuncture points in order to warm up the qi and blood in the channels. Another common practice involves attaching a moxa stub to an inserted needle. This method enhances the effect of needling, and is often used to treat chronic rheumatism and rheu-matoid arthritis.

Fire cupping Fire cupping involves placing suction cups on the skin, in places that open up channels where the flow of qi may have been reduced. The skin often turns red, indicating that the circulation has been brought to the surface, but this is because inflammation is being drawn out.The increased local blood supply to the muscles and skin brings nourishment and allows for toxins to be carried

away.Conditions of chronic or acute pain can be relieved with minimal discomfort, and tense muscles softened quickly and easily.

MassageTuina, which literally means pushing and pulling, refers to massage, stimulation and manipulation of muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and trig-ger points. Like other parts of TCM, the effects of a properly-executed massage are felt far beyond the point of physical contact; a masseur will know, for example, what point on the patients foot is con-nected to his chest.

From the moment we landed to the moment we left Japan, my eyes were opened wide to the wonder of it all. Over the course of the next ten days in the country, a million differ-ent things - magical and beautiful temples, circled by stark winter gar-dens; vast cities in perpetual motion; snow-capped mountains emerging from deep crystal lakes and swathed in the sulphurous steam that bubbles up from primal volcanic activity below - formed sentences in my head that spoke of another world: Tokyo is like the future in all its literary forms, or Japan is like a dream of history, made of dark wood and surrounded by gardens. Japan came as something of a surprise to me.

In ten days we travelled to Tokyo and Kyoto, spent a couple of days in Hakone and took a day trip to Nara, Japans first permanent capital. We would see the sky-scorching towers and a naturescape of high mountains, deep lakes and thick forests, and learn some of how they can co-exist. We were on a budget - the last thing we wanted to be in Japan - and yet experienced all that we had hoped to, and much more besides.

We landed at Narita airport, about an hour outside To-kyo proper. We got the train into town and to another world. If Chinas sprawling cities represent post-industrial development built on history, then Tokyo is whatever comes after that. It is all steel, glass and neon at its centre, with an exoskeleton of transportation - trains and subways and elevated roads and walkways - running in between. Advertising is everywhere as the leviathan corporations - Sony, Hitachi, and Panasonic - vie with each other to be the most visible (and visceral) retinal distraction. Especially at night, Tokyo looks like a dark story waiting to be told.

But it doesnt feel hostile. Of all the truly global cities I have spent time in - London, New York, Paris, Hong Kong - the millions of Tokyoites move the most serenely through its bustling highways and its labyrinthine transport network. They wait for traffic lights, allowing fear free pedestrian passage across its wide boulevards, and form queues through gates at subway stations: no need for pushing and shoving here. It is a centre of commerce, and yet many activities are available free of charge. We stayed in a cheap guesthouse ten minutes walk from Takadanobaba station, itself not more than 10 minutes from Shinjuku station, the worlds busiest with some 3.6 million people passing over its myriad platforms daily, and the very centre of Tokyo.

In Takadanobaba , buildings are low slung and ar-ranged on either side of narrow, winding and undulat-ing lanes. In all my dreaming of Tokyo, never had I imagined that Tokyo could ever feel village-y. But, in places like Takadanbaba and Asakusa, where we joined the denizens of this old pleasure district in the scald-ing hot water of communal sent baths, it does: tiny places to grab noodles - by far the cheapest way to eat in Japan - offer free tea to anyone that eats there, and even smaller shops sell locally produced pickles and fish fresh from Tsukiji fish market, the biggest I have ever seen: another face of Tokyo revealed.

Still in Asakusa, around another lost corner, the Senso-Ji Temple and the bustling market that has grown up around it appeared. Just another centuries old temple hidden in the metropolis. You get used to that kind of thing in Japan.

From Tokyo we took the train to Hakone, a mountain-ous region famed for its onsen (communal baths filled by the hot spring water that flows up from Japans vitriolic seismic foundations). We stayed in a tradi-tional ryokan, all low tables, futons on tatami mats and simple yukata robes to wear, and an amazing kaiseki meal consisting of multiple courses of meticulously prepared Japanese food.

Hakone is beautiful. Low hills are lined with thick pine forest parting only for small, pretty towns and the winding roads that connect them. There are lesser peaks, a glacial lake and myriad modes of transport to explore them in. We took trains and buses, but also a funicular, boat and 30 minute cable car that provide stunning views of the landscape beneath. There are galleries of local art, museums and Buddhist shrines and temples; manmade structures in harmonious counterbalance to the natural beauty all around. And drifting through it all, sulphurous steam, rising up from the earths core along fracture lines in earths crust. All of it serves as your entry into the Japanese Alps with Mount Fuji at its core. She, Mount Fuji, really is a stunner. It is hard to describe her, such is her maj-esty as she rises, snow peaked and perfectly round, from the brownish green of the foothills below.

Next to Kyoto and Nara, ancient cities both, and fine examples of how Japan must once have been. Be-tween them they host a staggering 25 UNESCO world heritage sites, each more jaw dropping than the last. Some, like the Nijo-Jo castle, are wonders of invention over mistrust; its nightengale floors squeak when walked over to warn of unwanted visitors, and there are numerous hidden chambers where bodyguards to the new dynasty could keep watch. Others, such as Sanjusangen, show off 800-year old artistry: its thousand Kannon (the Buddhist goddess of Mercy) stand guard over the 28 guardians of Buddhism, their expressions unreadable as if they are surveying you as you stare, in awe, at them. In Nara, the tame deer-filled park surrounding Kofuku-JI opens up to reveal a five storey pagoda in dark wood and surrounded by im-maculately kept gardens, typical of gardens through-out Japan: In Spring, the blossoms are world famous, whilst the summer brings firework blooms of colour; in autumn, the maple leaves fade into the winter abyss in death throes of red and orange. All of this is planned, and walking the paths of a Japanese garden is to see mans mastery over nature in all its splendour and vitality.

By the end of day one, we had already started out to do list for our next trip. It is a wonderland of the old and new, of nature and technology and unbelievable food. Can Japan be done on the cheap? No, not really. But it is more affordable than we first thought. If you make concessions, like taking the bus instead of the bullet train, or staying in Japanese style guest houses rather than western style hotels, savings can be made (like our two sleepless nights on the bus between Tokyo and Kyoto). Japan is another world, one I want to spend more time in.

How to Get There

We found all our accommodation in Japan through www.airbnb.com, a site designed to help travellers find cheap beds in the cities they visit. Airbnb has listings for all of Japans major cities, as well as cities in more than 150 countries worldwide including China.

Our ryokan was sourced through www.japaneseguest-houses.com, which lists properties throughout Japan.

In Tokyo and Kyoto, we travelled on their extensive train networks but intercity , we took busses booked through http://willerexpress.com. The fares were less than half the equivalent train fare, but the journey obviously took much more time.

Thoughts for Food

It is impossible to talk about Japan without mentioning its cuisine. Whilst during the day, we lived on noodles - Raman, Udon and Soba - in the evenings we ran wild, taking our taste buds in some incredible directions. In Kyoto we ate the best Sashimi I have ever had, more than 20 types of fish, shell fish, eel and roe served with ear clearing wasabi and sweet, citrusy Ponzu. In Nara, we ate Shabu Shabu (beef and vegetables, self cooked in vats of bubbling broth be-fore being dipped in sesame and other sauces), and cheap (but really very good) Tempura in Tokyo. All of which was washed down with warmed sake (a winter staple) or glasses of excellent Japanese beer. All of it was heavenly, and all of it blew the budget. In Japan, if you want to know where your money has gone, it is down your throat.

Selling Big in ChinaAvoid mooncakes, and score your sellers

Morgan([email protected]) came to Chinavowing to stay for atleast three months even if it killed him -10 years ago.His Shanghai-based companyClarkMorgan Corporate Trainingwonthe title of Training Firm of the Year in 2007 and 2008.His bookSelling Big In Chinadetails how hesucceeded.He spoke with Redstar correspondent Victor Fic.

Tell us some of your best techniques formarketing in China. One habit that I startedwas to avoid following the pack.ClarkMorgan does not send moon cakes during themid autumn festival. Its agreat tradition, butuseless formarketingbecause you do not stick out everyonesends moon cakes.

Instead, we sent rare and memorable Womans Day and National Day cards. And we invested in photos to avoid the stock photo fluffin manybrochures and websites.Clientssaythey have seen our peoplein our in-house marketing, industry magazine orthe media.

Why do you charge thatChinese sales teams are often weak? Theylack a formal sales education.There is no Bachelor of Applied Salesoffered anywhere here. Most likely you come fromdisciplines as varied as engineering, general administration or even economics. But not sales.

How can they improve?Thefive factors forsuccess areproduct knowledge, uncovering needs;charisma tobuild goodwill;persistence to makecalls andlegwork and honoringpromises. If you manage a sales team in China, conduct regular service and product knowledge tests.Dont assume that they know whatyou do.A simple pop quiz every Monday will prove me right or wrong.

How can one uncoverneeds?In my book, Selling Big to China, I highlight funnelling. First ask open, non-leading questions, thenopen leading ones,and finally closed leading.Inbetween,summarizethe clients words toclarify your understanding whilebuilding goodwill throughpositive language.

Charisma is rare, correct?Goodwill is vital in sales, up to37% of thesuccessful sales pie.Charisma is not easily learned, but can be.Many great salespeople started offshy butgrewinto their charisma, most likely by mirroring others.

The stereotypeis that sales means hitting the phone, knocking on doors... .Guanxiconnections will startyour career,butif you lackpersistence fornew business, then youdrythem up.At ClarkMorgan,sellersmust maintain a quality score of 1000 points or more per monthby e-mailing for 1 point, calling for5 points, attending networking events for 15 points andmeetings at 20 points. It meansonly50 daily pointsonthe months 21 working days.Youeasilysee who willexcel orbomb-out.

If you fail to deliver on a promise,cantyoudo it later?It costs5 to 20 times more to secure new business thanmaintaining a pool of delighted customers.

Tell our readers more about the various demographic groups in China.The true Reds are retiring.They arethe parents of the children of the revolution. True Redsare highly moralbut oftenclosed tooutside ideas. Their children, now in their 30s and 40s, have inherited thehigh values, but the internet andtravel makes themmoreopen asthe positive side of business in China.As forthe 80s children, theyareopen but often self-centred from beingonly children.

MoreWestern firms are expanding theirmarketing fromfirst tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai to second-tier cities like Qingdao. Does this require new marketing attitudes and tools?It involves farmore patience withconsumers who areless savvy than in first tier cities.Doesa Westernerneed a Chinese partner to craft formarketingbasedonthe cultureand social trends?You dont need a Chinese partner to understand local insights, but requiremuchinput from the media, books, friends and colleagues.

The Green HornetDirected by Michel Gondry

Pulp hero Green Hornet doesnt have many die-hard fans, so Seth Rogen - eager to graduate from the Apatow school to big-budget blockbusters - presumably felt comfortable appropriating the character for his first superhero turn. The publisher-turned-crimefighter is reimagined as a pampered manchild who inherits his fathers newspaper, then rebels against his destiny by donning a disguise and fighting drug dealers.

This new Hornet is basically Rogens usual jerkass persona with a mask and green suit, so purists need not apply. But

then the franchise is mostly remembered for sidekick Kato, thanks to Bruce Lees portrayal in the 60s TV series. The filmmakers indirectly acknowledge this by letting the new Kato (Jay Chou) carry the duo: Rogens Hornet wouldnt last three seconds without Katos martial-arts prowess or improbable engineering feats.

Jay is no Bruce, although Gondry provides some imaginative action scenes (with first-person Kato-Vision). But Chou holds his own against Rogens steamroller brand of comedy. Kato never sheds his nominal second-banana status, but hes not another inscrutable-Asian type, and the dynamic with his boss is barely distinguishable from a Superbad-esque bromance a surprisingly level playing field for an Asian actors Hollywood debut. The involved back-and-forth between the two leads (including a drag-out fight worthy of They Live) means it hardly matters that the villain (Christoph Waltz) and ersatz love interest (Cameron Diaz) barely register. If one isnt sick of superhero movies, male-bonding flicks, or either of the two stars, The Green Hornets mashup sensibility, from a director ideally suited for it, works better than the sum of its parts.

When Chef Giovanni arrived at Muranos in Crowne Plaza Qingdao (the citys first authentic Italian res-taurant) in 2010, it was like a creative genius taking up residence in a purpose-built workshop. The team in that kitchen has a long reputation for consistently delivering fantastic traditional Italian cuisine - they have quickly found themselves inspiring each other and delighting their guests.

Tell us about our dish this month.The fish is locally-caught red snapper, and on the side we have a salad sprinkled with olive oil. You cannot find a fresher, healthier, easier meal! Cooking this kind of simple, homestyle food is one of my favourite things. It reminds me of home.

Speaking of favourite things, what do you eat when youre not at Crowne Plaza Qingdao?I love Chinese food. Give me Sichuan-style frog with chillies, give me scorpions, I love it. Beijing Duck? Amazing! My professor in Milan, a three-star Michelin chef, asked our class to name the finest cui-sine in the world. Then he said, Chinese. Being here, eating here, cooking here, it opens my mind. There are many reasons why all of the top chefs around the world have spent time in Asia - theres so much variety. I am inspired every day. I was at a friends house, and her grandmother made jiaozi stuffed with eggplant and mushrooms. It was incredible, and it gave me a great idea for a new cannelloni.

What about a personal favourite dish at Muranos?

Murano means colourful, and our staff and I devel-oped a dish that is a beautiful and delicious example of colourful Italian cuisine - Ravioli Murano. It took working together, bringing all of our minds together, to develop the technique, but wow, its worth it.

Office demand was solid throughout the fourth quarter, which resulted in a lower vacancy rate by year-end. Compared with previous quarters, international tenants have started to show stronger demand. In the fourth quarter of 2010, international retail operators were aggressively signing agreements in new developments to secure future premises. Newly launched high-end residential projects from well-known developers in prime locations achieved high transaction volume due to pent-up demand playing a visible role in the market.

Office Sector There were two new completions in Qingdaos office market, which added 101,769 m2 to the Grade B office stock. The total Grade A office stock remained unchanged due to the absence of new supply in the quarter. More leasing transactions were witnessed in the quarter than any of the previous quarters of 2010, mostly from international occupiers. Manufacturing, as well as shipping and logistics, long key industries in Qingdao, continued to generate demand. Although domestic tenants leased more space, international especially Asian companies from Malaysia, Japan, and Korea, have been a key driver in the quarter. Supported by active absorption, the average vacancy rate of Grade A offices dropped to 24.2%, and decreased to 14.7% for Grade B offices.

For some time, landlords have been bracing for the completion of new office projects in 2011: Farglory International Plaza, The Agora, and Capland Center. The anticipated increase in Grade A supply will likely put added pressure on rents, which have risen in the last quarter of 2010.

- Overall office gross rental price: 3.30/m2/day (slightly up on previous quarter)

RetailQingdao saw no new retail completions in this quarter. With the relatively limited new supply, the overall retail market vacancy rate dropped from 15% to 14%.The consumption of high-end fashion, food, and cosmetics was the main propeller of retail growth, and well-known international brands continued to provide demand. Due to rising sales and bright economic prospects, retailers have been

actively expanding, leading to a healthy space take-up in prime malls. Leasing transactions included that Marina City, which attracted most of the fashion brands coming into Qingdao. These included newcomers such as Aobio, Porshe Design and Armani Exchange. Wanda CBD Plaza engaged more F&B retailers and numerous childrens brands. Both Uniqlo and Wal-Mart opened their second stores in Yangguang New City Plaza and Haidu International Building, respectively.

Due to tight supply and strong demand, the average rental rate for prime retail properties remained comparatively high, increasing 1.2% over the previous quarter to 503/m2/month. Prime malls in Shinan district continued to outperform the overall market.

High-end Residential Developers were cautious in launching new sales in 2009 and the first three quarters of 2010, which led to limited high-end residential supply. During that period, prices continued to grow steadily, giving developers more confidence in Qingdaos purchasing power. Pre-sale projects in the period included Lushang City Center Leader Mansion, Farglory International Plaza, Hisense-The Cullinanjoint, and Biocade City. These projects, offering over 1,226 units, come from reputable developers and are situated in prime locations. Although policies had helped restrain housing prices and limited available units for several quarters, pent-up housing demand started becoming visible over the past few months. As availability increased, the transaction volume of high-end residential properties rose accordingly. Despite the governments tightening measures, residential prices continued to climb.

- High-end residential average price: 22,958/m2 (up 10.4% on last quarter)
