3月16日 From Liz - take me out to the qiu game!I can't do a better job than this NYT article (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/16/sports/baseball/16china.html) at describing this Saturday's baseball game between the LA Dodgers and San Diego Padres here in beautiful Beijing. It was apparently the first time in history that Major League Baseball has played in China, a country that apparently only has 100 baseball diamonds, total.
Yesterday was beautiful: cherry blossoms in bloom, the crystal blue sky dotted with rare poofy white clouds: the perfect day to sit in a Division III college sized baseball stadium and watch two professional teams up close and personal, with a handful of non-comprehending Chinese fans and a sizable chunk of Americans who were mostly there to see each other and enjoy the sunshine. At Wukesong Stadium, you could forget about the other breaking news going on in China right now (that I don't feel comfortable writing about on a blog or even email), and instead focus on the animated hot dogs racing each other across the Jumbotron, the inflatable Padres' friar mascot dancing with minimalistically-clad Chinese cheerleaders, the programs that didn't even list the team's lineup, and every once in a while, the game itself. My favorite part of the afternoon, which the article left out, was when the bleacher creatures started the Wave. I didn't expect that, especially since none of the other attempts to rally up the fans seemed to work. But there it went, looping around the entire stadium two or three times, and even getting the normally too-cool VIP section to join in.
It was so odd being there, as baseball is an American sport, like apple pie is an American pie. No one at the game I talked to thinks that baseball will take off in this country, with reasons given ranging from poverty (requires too much equipment), land constraints (requires a specialized field), image (too clean cut -- Chinese students prefer the counter-culture of tough guy basketball), or even tensions with Japan (where the baseball is well loved).
But we'll see. Baseball is a game of patience, and we're only in the bottom of the first.
Cheers, Liz 3月15日 Saturday, March 15Did 2 Funny things on March 15:
1. Went to Padres vs. Dodgers game at the new Baseball Stadium at Wukesong in Beijing. It was a tie - and no extra innings... what's up w/ that.
2. Went to see a friend sing Brahms Requium at the Forbidden City Concert Hall.
3月4日 Orangutan in Microsoft Cafeteriahttp://online.wsj.com/article_email/SB120243065514952215-lMyQjAxMDI4MDAyNzQwMzcwWj.html Banned in Beijing: Disposable Utensils By JANE SPENCER BEIJING -- A dozen environmental activists stormed the cafeteria of Microsoft Corp.'s Chinese headquarters on a lunchtime mission to change the way 1.3 billion people pick up their noodles. As startled diners looked up from their pork fried rice, Cao Yu, a 26-year-old activist dressed as an endangered orangutan spoke passionately about the ecological perils of China's most common eating utensil. "Disposable chopsticks are destroying China's forests," said Mr. Cao, whose voice was muffled by the 2-foot-high ape head he was wearing. "We must protest this pointless waste!" Disposable chopsticks are under attack all across China. http://online.wsj.com/article_email/SB120243065514952215-lMyQjAxMDI4MDAyNzQwMzcwWj.html

Please do email me with any other questions you may have. We hope to see you there!

This year expats will be allocated 22 delegates in a Global Primary (that's almost the same number as Nevada, which just held its caucuses!). Below are some questions you may have, together with answers (see http://www.democratsabroad.org/article/2008/01/11/delegate-selection-plan-summary-pdf-document for more information about Democrats Abroad and the Global Primary)
What is the Democrats Abroad Global Primary? The Democrats Abroad Global Presidential Primary will take place from February 5-12, 2008 with voting by Internet, mail, fax, and in person at Voting Centers in more than 30 countries around the world. If you're registered to vote back in your home state, can you vote in the Democrats Abroad Global Primary?
This primary takes place alongside state primaries being held throughout the United States. As an American citizen living abroad you have the option of voting in the Democrats Abroad Global Presidential Primary or in a state presidential primary. Why not vote back home?
Overseas voters are encouraged to participate in the Democrats Abroad Global Presidential Primary because: What is the impact on my state registration? *If you participate in the Democrats Abroad Global Presidential Primary, you may not vote for President in your voting-state primary or caucus. (Your "voting state" is the last place you resided before departing the US. If you never resided in the US, most states will accept the last place your parent(s) resided. Contact Democrats Abroad or your local voting registrar for details if required.) How do I register to vote in the general election? You should register to vote in the general elections, you can do that now by completing your online ballot request at www.VoteFromAbroad.org .
1月26日 Saturday's Activities1) Hong Kong may have the world's freest economy, but its oppressed citizens cannot spit in restaurants, cut in line or buy a beer for a quarter. That's why a few brave residents of the Fragrant Harbor are venturing to Beijing this weekend, to celebrate the liberties that we in the capital enjoy--and celebrate Sarabeth's birthday. 1月24日 My ARTCan I please share my latest source of excitement? I was talking yesterday about this piece that I bid on at the Dartmouth Event on Monday. I love it, do you want to take a look? http://www.flickr.com/photos/numbers/378158495/
It’s from a series called “Numbers” by Oak Taylor Smith where he photographs walls around Beijing where the special government office of wall painting has painted over numbers for illegal services. He writes about it and shows the other items in the collection in a full document posted online.

Our very best mobile wishes for the New Year! With the Olympics just a few months away, we expect many changes to happen in 2008.

11月28日 CSI ExperienceSaw CSI Experience at the Museum of Science. Troubleshot a murder where one twin killed another. Crazy. 10月22日 Mobile MondayWhat I did yesterday:
Operating a mobile business in China is not for the faint hearted, as repeatedly illustrated the profiles of NASDAQ-listed value-added service providers during the past two years.
Though a heated debate is going on between the Ministry of Information Industry (MII) and telecom operators, WVAS SPs often feel they have to face them both as primary and ’secondary’ regulators, and are left adrift in an increasingly tough sea of changes. This #15 session on 22 October will look into how mobile CEOs cope with the situation in their day-to-day navigation, and define what is the essence of the CEO’s role: * how to manage growth or scale back when new policies cut the wind, * how to generate revenues, * how to motivate and keep people on board, * how to handle investors and partners. :: Register :: Participation fee: 100 rmb (payment is at the door and includes light buffet) :: Access map :: :: Tell a friend :: :: Who came last time :: Attendance is limited to 150 participants so we recommend to register early. As usual, doors open at 7pm and we start sharp at 7.30pm. We invited early stage and more mature companies to share their insights, offering a local and international perspective on China’s mobile market. Xin Yan | Casee.cn Nick Yang | CEO, KongZhong (tbc) Nick Yang co-founded KongZhong, one of the leading WVAS SPs in China, which listed on NASDAQ since 2004. Nick has been involved with mobile and Internet in China since 1999, first with the company Chinaren, then at Sohu after Chinaren’s acquisition. Marcus Xiang | CEO, PDX.cn PDX.cn operates an independent mobile community service with several million registered users. Marcus is also an activist for WVAS rights and has been working effortlessly to get the idea of a healthy WVAS market growth hand-in-hand with operators via numerous interviews, columns and events. His most recent contribution is available on the SP Forum website (report, pictures). Richard Robinson | CEO, Dada Asia Dada is the #1 player in the dynamic Italian wireless market and a top player in Europe, the U.S. and globally in Direct to Consumer wireless entertainment. A seasoned mobile & Internet entrepreneur and executive with over a decade experience in Greater China, Richard joined Dada Asia in 2006 to kickstart operations in Asia Pacific with a footprint from China to New Zealand to India. Alex Kummerman | CEO, ClicMobile | Founder, MobileMonday Geneva Clicmobile is a Geneva based start-up company with an operational subsidiary in Paris and is now growing a development team in Beijing to start local operations. Clicmobile provides the open media world with tools to run and build online communities. Alex has over 15 years of mobile telecommunication expertise and Clicmobile is his third start-up.
