As someone may know, the first thing that international brands do to enter China's market is to name themselves Chinese version names. It turned out that some of them really did a great job on naming and let's have a look at some famous brands and their names in China. 1.coca cola(可口可乐） The translation is actually very good. The Chinese version sounds like the original one and it even conveys the idea that one drink can make people happy.  2.pepsi（百事可乐） Since Pepsi is a kind of coke, in the four-letter translation, the last two letters are the same meaning happy. But Pepsi did a even better job by saying that one drink can make everything going well. 3. Mcdonalds（麦当劳）                               Mcdonalds did worst than KFC in localisation, so it has less stores than KFC in China. The translation has no special meaning. As a matter of fact, it just sounds like a foreigner name. 4.KFC（肯德基） To be honest, I have no idea how this Chinese name derives, but

The white shoes have been popular for over two years since repopularised "Stan Smith". However, it's often that we pump into people wearing same white shoes when it's extremely awkward..... Let's have a look at white shoes that stands out but seen rarely seen. 1. Shanghai Warrior Shoes One interesting story is that Warrior Shoes is just the by-product if its parental company, a rubber manufacturer in China. More interesting is that it's actually far more popular overseas than it is in China. The red logo one is my favourite.  Shanghai Warrior Shoes: cheap and rarely seen. 2.

My best friend is from Chongqing and she is so sick of hearing others talking about Sichuan hot pot. When talking about spicy and hot,  it seems that Sichuan is the first word to come up with. However, "Chongqinger" is the real lover of spicy hot pot. I went to main district of Chongqing for five to six times and the number of hot pot restaurants impressed me. Basically, in some areas, you can come across a hot pot restaurant every 20 meters and I guarantee you that every restaurant  is spicy and good.  In China, different regions, in fact, develop different styles of hot pots in terms of stew base and the staff put in hotpot. Other hot pots will be talked later, and nowadays, in China, Chongqing hot pot maybe the most popular one.  The first question would be "what is Chongqing hotpot". The question should be what is Chongqing traditional hotpot(重庆老火锅).  The soup base contains a variety of spices, herbs and several kinds of peppers, sichuan pepper in parti

Let's have a look at several most well-known ones. 1. WEIBO(微博）－TWITTER Weibo is one of the most popular social media in China. Like twitter, it is a place to share personal opinion but restricted within 140 characteristics.  Weibo actually witnessed a lot of famous “events" like "see you in Monday" of Chinese entertainment industry. Now twitter is suffering from decline users and revenue, but Weibo seems doing well in China. 2. Youku (优酷）-- YOUTUBE Like youtube, Youku is a platform to share videos. However, Youku is more like a warehouse to store videos. By now, it produces self-made TV shows and series like Netflix, but hasn't found a way to foster its own "youkuer". It actually faces fierce comp

Today I went to dumpling house for lunch with my friend. I ordered a beef noodle soup and she had a Chinese hot and sour dumpling soup. However,  we were totally surprised by the dumpling soup when it came. It was basically adding dumplings to American version hot spicy and sour soup. Speaking of hot spicy and sour soup, it was barely mentioned in articles on  "Chinese Dishes That Real Chinese People Don't Eat", but I have to say the overseas version is really different with the authentic Chinese version. Nevertheless, this is not today's topic. Before talking about  authentic Chinese hot and sour dumpling soup(suantang shuijiao), let's have a look at comparison of two dishes. Authentic Chinese hot and sour soup dumpling (suantang shuijiao) The version in dumpling house As a matter of fact,  Chinese hot and sour soup dumpling is popular in Xi'an, capital city of Shanxi Province, China.
