Here are my bar suggestions<br /><br />- LPG: French-owned sports bar with great happy hour from 9-11pm. Pretty relaxed atmosphere with decent food and the QD regular expat scene.<br />- Le Bang: Happy hour from 10-12am and a DJ every night on the weekend. Tends to pick up only after 11pm or so, but rest assured that there will be people dancing on the bar counter by the end of the night.<br />- Corner Jazz: The final stop for every good expat's night, a rather dingy bar where most hang out on the curb outside rather than in the bar itself. Drinks are rather expensive, so watch out.<br />- Q Bar (Shangri-la hotel): Wednesday night ladies drink free and there is a rather entracing pole dancer, who is really nice outside of work too. Also has a filipino band and some fun dancing.<br />- Club New York: Overpriced, but has a really fun Filipino band that plays requests and is very talented. <br />- Trend Bar (Ye Chao district): huge Chinese dance club that has alright music, average prices on alcohol and can sometimes be fun just because of how bizarre it is. <br /><br />I met most of my QD expat friends at these bars, through work or taking Chinese classes at Gede language school on Fuzhou Nanlu (if you're interested in learning some or more putonghua). <br /><br />Hope this helps~~<br /><br />AlisonAlisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12762173470304164834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097153468451890855.post-11117846169468768452010-09-24T19:58:41.883+08:002010-09-24T19:58:41.883+08:00Hey,

At work, I had a client ask which one I was (i.e., Japanese or Chinese). When I told her she was Korean, she kept asking if that was Japan or China. I guess she thought Asian = one or the other, and had never heard of Korea... scary.<br /><br />I also get asked a lot if I'll cook the clients Chinese food, when I tell them I'm adopted from Korea, they keep asking if I can speak Chinese... fail.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12541777397562593621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097153468451890855.post-54483451759355244372010-04-21T02:51:42.053+08:002010-04-21T02:51:42.053+08:00bring the dog home! did the woman find it odd how ...bring the dog home! did the woman find it odd how tied the dog is to you?Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12541777397562593621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097153468451890855.post-12435332664453229992010-04-20T10:54:48.748+08:002010-04-20T10:54:48.748+08:00interesting post. i have experienced that here wi...interesting post. i have experienced that here with chinese and even chinese-americans, our family history is just too complicated then you throw in straits chinese and the odd mixing over the generations...<br /><br />cant wait to visit the motherland with my blond, blue eyed wife!mark y. gohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11222788278729028575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097153468451890855.post-69513481377702753062010-04-20T07:26:19.790+08:002010-04-20T07:26:19.790+08:00Kate, no they wouldn't be disappointed with yo...Kate, no they wouldn't be disappointed with you.

I wonder if they would be disappointed with someone like me, who isn't Asian-American but also not "blond eyed and blue haired". Who knows. <br /><br />Anyway, sorry that your students want to assign you to a very narrow box and can't understand any sort of wonderful hybrid identity! Seems like you have good perspective though, so just remember that before too long you'll be back here with all sorts of hyphenated and other identities!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221846496316618871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097153468451890855.post-10928999866693030162010-04-14T07:35:52.256+08:002010-04-14T07:35:52.256+08:00^agreed^agreedSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12541777397562593621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097153468451890855.post-79698270726163062402010-04-13T02:01:43.446+08:002010-04-13T02:01:43.446+08:00Bring her back.
