My first (unwanted) experience with Chinese medicine
From Angela Corrias, 1 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Chinese medicine
I know, I always say I want to fully experience the country I’m visiting, and this is why I usually stay longer than a normal holiday. Of course this applies to China too, being the Giant Dragon a fascinating society and boasting one of the richest cultures in human history.
But let’s face it, I would have gladly avoided experiencing Chinese medicine so early. Or at least in these conditions.
I believe this time the ever-present air conditioning is to blame. ...

Pasta Fresca, the best Italian food in Shanghai

Frutti di mare
I’m not the typical Italian because when I’m abroad I carefully avoid any Italian restaurant.
This for two main reasons: they are usually very far from reproducing the quality of the food you will eat in Italy, and I always prefer to try the local cuisine, wherever I am.
In Shanghai I made an exception, and this is because the Italian restaurants I found were worth breaking my personal rules.
Pasta al Pesto
They are part of a chain, Pasta Fresca, and the...

Visiting Palestine through Shanghai
From Angela Corrias, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Believe it or not, yesterday I went to Palestine, and the stamp on my passport is the evidence for what I’m saying.
I had been looking for a kefiah for some time, and the best place to buy it was naturally Palestine, so I went straight to the cosy shop at the end of the pavilion and I was lucky enough to meet the lovely lady from Nablus and her daughter Leen only two days before their departure back to Palestine.
The pavilion reflected the class and the elegance of the Palestinians...

Khaled and his sons
?Wave at the lady!? said dishdasha-clad Khaled to his two giggling kids when he saw me inch forward stealthily, my camera in my hands.
? Are you from Spain'? he asked me with ease.
? Italy. Sardinia to be more precise' I pointed out, avoiding to explain why Sardinia's natives look more Spanish than Italian, although, I admit the thought crossed my mind.
? Oh, I wondered why you looked familiar.?
Khaled is the epitome of the Arab hospitality: authentic and down-to-earth. I...

Sunset on Sant'Antioco Lagoon, Sardinia
This month has been quite busy for me here in Shanghai, because in addition to my normal workload, learning a difficult language such as Mandarin is proving rather challenging.
Nevertheless, I’ve been updating my travel blog Travel Calling with news about my life in Shanghai, and researching articles on China. From my latest trip to the UAE in February, I have recently had a new article published, In Al Ain, in the footsteps of Sheikh Zayed.
As...

New collaborations, new articles, new travels
From Angela Corrias, 1 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
This month has been very exciting both work- and travel-wise. First of all, I’m slowly unearthing Shanghai, that will be my new hometown for the next six months or a year. Other than being based in the city of the International Expo 2010, in August I travelled to Beijing to see the unmissable Great Wall, Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, and Qingdao, small town of 8 million people on the Yellow Sea coast.
Settling in Shanghai, between finding a place, setting it up and sorting my visa...

Algeria pavilion at the Shanghai Expo
I’ve finally made it, I’m in Shanghai, thoroughly enjoying the jewel of Eastern China.
Apart from some shopping and a visit to the fantastic Expo village, so far I’ve been mainly settling in my new hometown of about 25 million people. I will be staying from six months to a year, so I will have the time to discover the city little by little in every aspect.
I haven’t had too much time to update my travel blog, although a couple of...

Happily among camels
It’s now official, I’ll be heading to China in July, to enjoy and write about Shanghai, this year’s venue for international expo. I will be staying anywhere between two months and one year. I’m applying for Chinese classes in university, so I will be able to stay for as long as the course will last. I’m thrilled at the idea of going to China, as I’ve never been there. Although based in Shanghai, I’ll be travelling throughout the...

The sanctuary of Santu Antinu in Sedilo
I’m still in Sardinia and getting ready to go back to London at the beginning of February. My initial plan, when I arrived in June, was to go back to the UK in November, but since I had not finished researching a couple of articles, I’ve postponed my departure.
My future projects involve some of the topics I’ve been researching for a while, which are turning to be more demanding than expected, but since I like challenges, I’m not...
