3rd November Walk
8th Twinings Tea Factory Tour
I have just returned from three lovely weeks in Scotland. Autumn was in full swing and the sun was shining. It's my favourite time of year and,although we were having to wrap up warmly as we were waking up to low single-figure temperatures, it was not a problem. Walking my grandchildren to school on chilly mornings was a treat. We even spent one afternoon in the woods collecting conkers. It's years since I've done this and it was as much fun as I remembered it. Of course, autumnal sunshine and blue skies made it all the more pleasurable and the clean fresh air was wonderful. I know the rain and damp will return but, for this trip, at least, it was perfect weather. I had to laugh as one BA member posted on FB that she had woken up to a chilly 18c, I had woken up to a chilly 3c. All relative, I suppose. Sadly, as I returned to Shanghai, the skies were grey and I couldn't see far even though it was a balmy 25c. I'll take the cold weather and clear skies anytime. It's something we live with here and after a while you don't really notice it. After a few days back, I feel as if I've never been away as there is so much to do. Lots of events coming up and, as always, it's great to be involved. Brits Abroad is an important part of my life here, as I'm sure it is for so many of you. Without it, Shanghai would be a very different experience. So to everyone who helps out keeping it going, however much or little you are able to offer a big thank you to all of you, as every little helps and, without your input, it would be very difficult to have the group running as well as it does. If anyone out there is thinking they might want to help, in whatever way, or if you're not sure what you can do, just contact any of the committee members and we will soon find something that will suit you. Brits Abroad needs volunteers, so please come forward, we'd love to have you.

Brits Abroad Committee ElectionsThe annual Brits Abroad Committee elections will be upon us before we know
it. All Committee positions are up for election at the AGM which will take place in March 2017.
As we are aware, the expat community has a revolving door and members come and go which brings sadness when people leave but helps provide us with a fabulous eclectic mix of people stepping through our door.

If you enjoy the many activities and events put on by Brits Abroad, please consider joining the Committee to ensure they are able to continue.

Nanjing Road, once the most famous shopping street in Asia and described by one writer in 1920 as “certainly one of the most interesting streets in the world", will be the start of our September Walk. Then on to People's Square, once the site of a huge horse racetrack which was in the very centre of the former International Settlement and at the very heart of high society. The track is long gone but the clubhouse remains, along with other impressive buildings of the era, one of which houses the Zero Centre Point of Shanghai. Join us as we explore the heart of Shanghai, past and present.
This is a members-only event (20 rmb), out--of-town visitors may attend (50 rmb) if places are available. All proceeds go to charity. Sign-up only, no drop-ins, as this event is sometimes full with a waiting list. More details and sign-up on the website.
(*Please note this is a repeat of the September walk when we had a rainy day.)

Brits Abroad Book Club
Tuesday, November 13th
10-2pm
See website to sign up.
This is a club open to all members of Brits Abroad and can be joined at any time during the year.We hold monthly meetings, on the third Tuesday of each month. Members of the group volunteer to host the meetings in their homes and usually provide tea, coffee etc. The host researches questions for discussion. (This is not really arduous since there are many websites to help and we hold a batch of back-up questions if necessary!). The discussions are informal and all contributions are warmly received. It is always interesting to hear a range of opinions and to listen to various interpretations and responses to the same book! All that is required of you is that you enjoy reading a variety of books and you are happy to come along to the meetings.
This month we shall also be watching the film version of the work during the meeting.
November’s Book is “Mao’s Last Dancer” by Li Cunxin The extraordinary memoir of a peasant boy raised in rural Maoist China who was plucked from his village to study ballet and went on to become one of the greatest dancers of his generation. From a desperately poor village in northeast China, at age eleven, Li Cunxin was chosen by Madame Mao's cultural delegates to be taken from his rural home and brought to Beijing, where he would study ballet. In 1979, the young dancer arrived in Texas as part of a cultural exchange, only to fall in love with America-and with an American woman. Two years later, through a series of events worthy of the most exciting cloak-and-dagger fiction, he defected to the United States, where he quickly became known as one of the greatest ballet dancers in the world. This is his story, told in his own inimitable voice.

Previous Events
The food on offer was delicious. A selection of sandwiches and savoury pastries, - the curried chicken ones proving very popular - scones with jam and cream, a delightful array of desserts and, of course, plenty of freshly-made tea - although glasses of bubbles seemed to be more popular on the day! A station serving duck pancakes was set up in the courtyard, with a chef making them up as required. This was a surprise and a very welcome one. Everyone enjoyed the afternoon and we all left having eaten one dessert or one sandwich too many - if that's possible ! It was another great event, in a great location, with members getting together over food and drink to chat, something we are all very good at ! All in all, a wonderful afternoon.
Welcome Back Afternoon Tea
It's always nice to catch up with people after they have been away over the summer and our Welcome Back Afternoon Tea is the perfect place to do this. The Liquor Factory at The Intercontinental Hotel proved a great venue to hold this event and, with sunny skies, the outdoor courtyard was an ideal location. Food was set up inside in one of the villas and the whole area was ours for the afternoon.

September Walk: Gems at the Heart of the City
The rainy weather did not dampen the enthusiasm of the 13 ladies who joined the "Gems at the Heart of the City" walk, as it was a chance for us to explore some locations of historic importance to Shanghai. Our walk along East Nanjing Road revealed that some grand buildings were formerly famous department stores for the fashionable Shanghai residents in the 1920's and 1930's. We also discovered the impressive interiors of The Pacific Hotel, Park Hotel and Grand Theatre Cinema, the last two built in Art Deco style by Laszio Hudec (whose architecture has featured on several of our previous walks). My highlight was standing in the gorgeous Park Hotel to find the designated Zero Centre Point of Shanghai. The second half of the walk explored the area of People's Square which was previously a horse racecourse in the city centre. The former Shanghai Racecourse Clubhouse now stands at the edge of People's Park and you cannot miss this tall building with its huge clock. Continuing our walk, we admired the modern architecture of The Shanghai Grand Theatre, Shanghai Museum and Urban Planning Exhibition Center which are quite a contrast to the " Old Shanghai" buildings. Strolling through People's Park brought us to our final destination for a delicious lunch at Barbarossa which is attractively positioned in the centre of a lily pond. A perfect place for some tapas and wine !
Please note, if you missed this walk in September, it will be repeated in November.

As October for the Brits Abroad organisation is traditionally our breast cancer charity month, a special pink-themed fund-raising lunch was held at The Langham Hotel on Tuesday, 20th October. Pink was certainly the colour for the day as every guest wore their best pink outfit for this worthy occasion. The guests who joined Brits Abroad Shanghai enjoyed a glass of Prosecco on arrival, courtesy of the De Vere Group, and were then treated to a delicious three-course lunch which had been specially selected by the chefs at The Langham. In keeping with the pink theme, they enjoyed dishes such as shellfish bisque, grilled salmon and strawberry-flavoured white chocolate cylinders filled with pink mousse.

The Wire November 2016
More important, however, was the focus and purpose of this event, to raise funds to support breast cancer awareness in China. We were delighted to be joined by Ying Liu Ko from Shanghai United Family Hospital, who gave a very informative presentation about how previous money raised by the Brits Abroad Shanghai members had been used to fund an ultra-scan breast cancer screening programme for teachers living in Anhui Province. The intention is that these teachers will now roll out this screening programme to other women living in Anhui Province. The Brits Abroad Shanghai pink-themed charity lunch and raffle raised a total of 13,149RMB. We are delighted that all the proceeds raised from this event will go to support this cancer charity as it continues its work to raise breast cancer awareness in China.

September Drop in Drinks
Friday, 23rd September saw our last attendance at a Brits Abroad event in Shanghai. Drop in Drinks at Beef & Liberty drew a small but select group to enjoy a few beers on the terrace and enabled us to say goodbye to some good friends. Brits Abroad has been a big part of our lives in Shanghai - long may it continue.

October Walk: Rise of the West BundOn a lovely, sunny Monday morning, the sun gods in our favour, 20 ladies, guided by our group leader, Kelly, set out to enjoy the beauty of the West Bund area of Shanghai. Our first destination was the Longhua Martyrs’ Memorial Cemetery Park. Amazing, large Soviet-type sculptures are dotted around the Park which is lush and green, with large bamboo plants screening some areas, even in early autumn. An amazing sculpture sits behind the eternal flame dedicated to the Unknown Soldier. Like most parks in Shanghai, this park was being utilised by many locals enjoying the space - dancing, playing music, catching up with friends and, of course, performing tai chi.
Just around the corner is Shanghai’s largest and most important temple and pagoda. Originally built in 242 AD, it is still used as a place of worship by locals. We continued on to the Civil Aviation College, then walked on to discover the art museums in the area. They include the Shanghai Centre of Photography, the West Bund Artistic Centre, the Yuz Museum and the Long Museum West Bund. This area was once a glum industrial area, now it is being transformed into a green corridor and continues to be developed as the art hub of Shanghai. Apparently this area is “Shanghai’s answer to the South Bank in London or Museum Mile in New York”. A lovely way to end our walk was a stroll for some, while others picked up the pace, on the new walkway along the Huangpu River. There are walking and jogging tracks and, best of all, at this stage, it is all very serene as many people have not yet taken advantage of this new area. Martha Koufos

Starting in one of the famous food streets of Shanghai, Shou Ning Lu, our guide, Sophia, took us all on a culinary tour. At our first stop, we were introduced to water snake, twice fried, as well as crayfish and many other delights, including some Taiwanese desserts; and the braver amongst us partook of a glass or two of Chinese rice wine. After a short walk, we were treated to some lamb kebabs and then off to a small Sichuan restaurant for some spicy dishes, finishing off with sweet and savoury salt and pepper pastries. Everyone enjoyed tasting something that perhaps they have never had before and trying restaurants that most would not normally consider venturing into. It was a fantastic evening and we all left with a greater appreciation of what flavours and experiences are available in Shanghai.
