YEAR 2006 - HELLONINGBO news, reviews, tips, info...FUN !
2006/December/30: Have you seen the new underground pathway near Gulou ? It allows pedestrians to safely cross Zhong Shan Xi Lu (Zhong Shan West Road) via a tunnel rather than getting their way on the surface through the busy traffic. It is not the first pedestrian walkway that has been built on this street as there is another one up at Tianyi Square level (built about 2 years ago). You can again find another one in Cheng Huang Miao (Cheng Huang Temple) just at Tianyi Square rear side. We personally find these underpasses very convenient, much safer for the pedestrians and for the car drivers too. They no longer have to worry about people crossing the lanes even when traffic lights tell them not to. This is especially true at peak time when lots of people get off work and rush back home. These pathways obviously benefit everyone as they also help to keep the traffic moving...Well done !
2006/December/27: Hey you ! Stop resetting your computer and switching on/off your ADSL modem ! You have a problem trying to access websites outside China ? Well you're not alone. Just click on the image to understand why. So when will communication be back again ? No estimation for the moment but we can guess that it will take at least a few days (weeks ?) as it seems that the damage is serious...Anyway don't blame your computer, he (she?) is innocent !
2006/December/28: Do you like tasty bread ? It is interesting to see how the bakery foods industry has been developing during the last 3 years. Although eating bread has never been part of the Chinese culture, it seems that people in Ningbo enjoy a sweetie break during the day. If bread made in China is usually quite different from the western made bread like the French baguette, we still can start to find now some acceptable croissants and that was not the case until recently. Have you seen the newly opened "Bread Talk" located behind Tianyi Square ? The place is clean and nicely decorated. We bought there some croissants and found
them a bit "lighter", easier to digest compared to the croissants of New Maxim's although price is a little bit higher in Bread Talk. (RMB 4 in Bread Talk and RMB 2,50 in New Maxim's). But this is only our opinion. So why don't you drop in Bread Talk and have a try by yourself ?
2006/December/25: HelloNingbo wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS !!! Chocolate is probably the more popular gift item throughout the world and Christmas is surely the time to eat chocolates. Did you see how many brands are displayed in Ningbo shops and supermarkets ? If prestigious brands like Leonidas start to enter the local market (Ground floor of GuGo shopping center in Tianyi Square), we can also find some industrial brands making great products. One of them is the well known LU company from France. Lu is not making pure chocolate bars but biscuits and amongst them is the famous "Le Petit Ecolier" which means "The Little Schoolboy". "Le Petit Ecolier" is a butter biscuit topped with different chocolate flavors. We can find "Le Petit Ecolier" in Ningbo Metro but this time we found in Auchan Jiangdong what seems to be a limited offer. A beautiful red metal box including 4 different flavors type of biscuits : Milk, Hazelnut, Dark, Extra Dark. Very nice idea ! Afraid of gaining weight ? If eaten in moderation, chocolate won't change your shape ! A standard box of "Le Petit Ecolier" in Auchan will cost you RMB18.95 and the red metal box offer with 4 flavors, RMB88. Have a try and enjoy a "moment of sensual pleasure" !
2006/December/26: How many Starbucks Coffee now in Ningbo ? Ok we had the first one opening in Tianyi Square about 5 years ago, then was the one in Laowai Tan, then the one next to Portman (Sheraton) and now a new Ningbo Starbucks Coffee opening soon in Gugo Shopping mall in Tianyi Square. This makes a total of 4 right now. Congratulations Starbucks ! It's going so fast that even their official website is out of date !!!
2006/December/20: HelloNingbo has now a new logo that will be progressively updated on all the website's pages. New weather forecast that now displays a quick 2 days weather forecast on the index page and 2 new pages for the 5 days weather forecast (one in degrees celsius, the other one in degrees fahrenheit). Some of our international readers also requested the local Ningbo time to be displayed somewhere. It's now done with the new analog clock on the right. Thank you all for your support & more soon !

2006/December/05: If you live in Ningbo City Center and want Chinese Classes, there is now an answer. Ningbo CFLI (Chinese Foreign Language Institute) recently opened to satisfy the increasing need of foreigners wanting to learn Chinese. CFLI is conveniently located on the 34th floor of the tallest building (Zhong Nong Xin) facing the main entrance of Tianyi Square. CFLI offer all levels of Chinese (beginner to advanced) either in private or group classes. Ben Jenkin (from UK) is the Chief Executive Officer and he perfectly knows the daily problems foreigners are facing when they cannot speak Chinese. If at the time he came to Ningbo, he had no choice but to manage to learn on his own bits by bits, he agrees that he would've saved a lot of time by attending classes...like CFLI offers...More HERE !
2006/December/10: We did receive quite a few mails congratulating us for our report about the Kung Fu show. Thank you all ! Some of you also suggested us to film these kinds of events. Well, in fact we had the same idea as we've filmed the Kung Fu show for our private use but we finally decided to post the 3 video clips below for helloNingbo readers to enjoy ! See HERE !
2006/December/13: Yesterday was a special day in AIAN international school located in Beilun. All the classes were preparing a Christmas cake. From Kindergarten to High school students, everyone enjoyed this special "cooking lesson" and parents too....
2006/December/16: Why not start your own business ? We have a 55m2 ground floor space for rent as low as $250/month (RMB1900/month) for the 1st year. The place is located next to the main entrance of the foreign residence Liren Garden in Beilun.

If you have a serious project but need financial support to start, we can help you to find investors.Contact (email) on top of page.
2006/December/23: Yesterday was the Grand Opening of Ningbo Wanda Plaza ! It is a new commercial area located in Yinzhou District on the way to Ningbo Metro supermarket and next to Ningbo Huamao Foreign Language School. We went to Wanda Plaza by taxi and paid RMB15 from Carrefour and RMB14 to come back to Tianyi Square. This gives you an idea of the distance. "Wanda Plaza" is called "Wanda Guangchang" in Chinese. Wanda comes from the name of the investment group which is one of the biggest in Dalian. "Wan" meaning "10 thousand" and "Da" meaning "lead to" can be interpreted as "Leading to success". Wanda Plaza hosts a hundred shops, a dozen of restaurants including fast food like Dicos, Mc Donald's, KFC and Pizza Hut, superstores like Wal-Mart and B&Q (DIY supplies and goods for the home and garden) and other department stores like Suning (electronic appliances). If you're
driving, there are several very convenient car parks. Ningbo Wanda Plaza is more than a shopping center. It's a wide and long term project for Yinzhou district to build there a center of life including residences and much more activities...By the way a few shops and the Wal-Mart were not opened yet but it should be a question of 1 or 2 weeks. Anyway quite a few of you are back home right now for the Christmas festivities but when you come back to Ningbo, drop there and maybe find some goods you were always looking for..
2006/November/30: A meeting was held in Beilun NETD Hospital (kāifāqū yīyuàn) to introduce the new Foreign Medical Clinic. Dr. Dennis Middleton from New Zealand who is in charge of the project, introduced the new facilities. Around 50 foreigners went there and were all concerned by the improvement of the medical care in Ningbo. The Foreign Medical Clinic is located on the 5th floor and has 2 English-speaking nurses. For small matters you can directly go there but for serious operation Dr Middleton still advise you to go to Shanghai. If you need serious help concerning medical care in Beilun, you can contact Dr Middleton by email : globalDr@gmail.com or directly by phone : 86 83 72 97

Of course the Chinese community in Chinatown has been there for years but I saw quite a few newcomers now holding shops and cafes around the place.

2006/November/27: FILMKA STUNT SHOW finally performed in Ningbo Stadium located about 100 meters from Carrefour supermarket in Jiangdong. Their show was to be held in September but had been postponed several times and tonight was not the best weather for the team to perform. The soft stadium track was filled with water and the cars were like running on a skating rink. Still the Team Filmka did their best to entertain the audience with quite a few funny action scenes. We had a police car chasing robbers firing on them, a robber that was going to be hanged on a gallows before a car kicked down the huge stool he was standing on...Motorbikes also performed a few stunts but were obviously very concerned by the state of the track that should have been...dry. Nevertheless, we had a great moment. More about the Filmka Stunt Show held in Shanghai last March, HERE !
If you're interested in such a show, the Team Filmka that comes from Czech Republic might probably be back in Ningbo. Check regularly our Monthly Events Calendar HERE. Now if you live or pass through Europe, drop in Disneyland Paris where is held a fantastic stunt show running the whole year. I've been there several times and Guys it's just AMAZING !

2006/August/29: The legendary ship Gotheborg made three voyages from Gothenburg to Guangzhou between 1743 and 1745, pioneering trade between Sweden and China. On its last return trip to Sweden in 1745, tragedy struck when it smashed into rocks about 900 meters from its destination after a 30-month voyage to China. It sunk with its entire cargo outside the port of Gothenburg. The wreckage of the ship was recovered in 1984 and excavation was conducted from 1986 to 1992. The discovery led to the idea of rebuilding a replica of the ship using the same traditional techniques and materials and sailing it to China again.
The replica, Gotheborg III, is 58.8 meters long and 11 meters wide. It cost 30 million U.S. dollars and 10 years of work by more than 4,000 shipbuilders. The ship left Swedish city of Gothenburg for China in October last year, carrying 80 crew members and some of the silk, porcelain, tea leaves and spices that went down with the original ship. Guangzhou is the first stop of the ship's China tour. On August 29th of 2006, it arrived in Shanghai.
It is scheduled to sail back to Sweden after a two-month stay in Shanghai and a two-week stay in a shipyard in Zhejiang Province.
And the ship will open to public from the beginning of September; tourists can visit the ship by paying a ticket around 50RMB. More HERE

2006/July/13: Zidane went on French TV today and while he apologized to the world for the headbutt on the Inter Milan player, he refused to back down, saying Materazzi repeatedly had insulted his mother and sister.
"I want to ask for forgiveness from all the children who watched that, there was no excuse for it. I want to be open and honest about it because it was seen by two or three billion people watching on television and millions and millions of children were watching."
But Zidane also accused Marco Materazzi who seems to be familiar with provocation :
"Words can sometimes be harder than actions. It all went very quickly and they were words that hurt me deep down. I would rather have taken a punch in the jaw than have heard that and the real culprit should be sanctioned and the real culprit is him. He provoked it all. Do you imagine that in a World Cup final like that, with just 10 minutes to go to the end of my career, I am going to do something like that because it gives me pleasure?"
