icons of the bund The historical edifices of Old Shanghai

BY Ryan Kilpatrick

There may be some truth to the old trope that domestic tourists all point their cameras east to pose in front of the Oriental Pearl Tower, while Westerners turn the other way to photograph the old European-style architecture along the riverside. If you really want to understand this city, you have to look at both sides of the Huangpu Casting your gaze to Lujiazui will show you where modern Shanghai is going, but to understand how it got here, you can read the Shanghai story written in the buildings of the Bund.

HSBC Building t No.12, The Bund, the neoclassical monolith now home to the Shanghai Pudong Development Bank was originally built A as the headquarters of HSBC, the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation.

Completed in 1923 by British architecture firm Palmer & Turner, the building was called “the most luxurious building from the Suez Canal to the Bering Strait.” It was hands-down the biggest bank in the FarCoins East, from and all the around second-largest the world inwere the buried world afterinto the the foundations Bank of forScotland good luck,in Edinburgh. and specially minted ones were placed in dark recesses to ward off evil spirits.

Employees affectionately nicknamed the pair During Japanese occupation, the building was taken over by Yokohama Specie Bank, and Stephen and Stitt were removed to be melted down for their valuable bronze – a fate they narrowly escaped. HSBC moved back in after the war, and the pair were returned home. But after 1949, the building became the headquarters of the municipal government. In 1966, Red Guards set their crosshairs on the imperialist lions as well as the building’s eight mo- saic murals depicting the cities in which HSBC operated: Hong Kong, Shanghai, Tokyo, Bangkok, Calcutta, London, New York and Paris.

The pair have been separated, however, with Stephen kept in the museum’s display room under the Oriental Pearl Tower and Stitt in the Shanghai Banking Museum. Those currently sitting outside the building on the Bund are replicas produced in 1997. HSBC tried to buy back the building in 1990, but negotiations broke down and it was handed to the state-owned SPDB instead.

Twenty years ago, Chinese women had a handful of underwear choices: most bought monochrome briefs or high-waisted knickers in bulk, or picked up cheap bras at their local department store.

Through their Chemikal Underground label, they've given acts like Mogwai, Bis and Arab Strap their first chance by releasing their debuts . Now, their fans are paying them back, as a few Shanghai-based Scots have organized a seven-city Mainland tour where they will back up the group’s singer Emma Pollock.

Best known for capturing his hometown’s chaotic urban scenes in striking works that allude to classical Chinese art, Yang Yongliang is one of Shanghai’s most acclaimed contemporary artists. He takes the next step in his artistic evolution with his new solo exhibition, Yan, which runs until April 7 at Shanghai Gallery of Art.

He’s able to create replicas of Song landscape masterpieces and that classical background runs throughout his works regardless of medium. Yang’s unprecedented work mixing modern photography with traditional black-and-white paintings turned heads internationally. What appears as a serene mountain landscape is actually composed of Shanghai’s skyscrapers and construction cranes. The jarring juxtapositions have been exhibited at the world’s most prestigious galleries such as the British Museum and New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Ma Huang; Ephedra Sinica

Origin: Northern China Dosage: 1-4 grams per day of the stems of the ephedra plant, in tea form.

Purported effects: The oldest and most celebrated of Chinese medicinal herbs, records show that ma huang was prescribed by ancient Chinese physicians as a remedy for a variety of common ailments, including asthma, headaches and hay fever. Its most celebrated appearance occurs during the Ming Dynasty, when guards stationed along the Great Wall were known to chew on the stems of the ma huang plant to help fend off fatigue and increase alertness.

Today it is used largely as a stimulant, due to its high concentration of alkaloids ephedrine and pseudophedrine. These two compounds are believed to stimulate the neural pathways, increase the heart rate, constrict blood vessels (increasing blood pressure), and expand the bronchial tubes (making breathing easier). Other alleged effects include alleged thermogenic properties that, if used in concentrated form, can result in increased metabolism.

Trial: “Every country has its drug, and every drug has its country. Some more notorious than others. The Columbians have cocaine, the Afghanis have opium, the Dutch have marijuana and the Chinese… well, the Chinese have ma huang. A country’s choice of weekend high is as much a part of its cultural identity as its national dish – a fact that makes ma huang also known by its Latin name Ephedra sinica if not interesting, then certainly worth investigating. After all, few narcotics can claim such a rich and compelling history. The story of Chinese civilization is laced with the heady scent of the Ephedra plant; the two share a primeval and complex bond that stretches back over 5,000 years. If you want to understand China, there are worse places to start than with a cup of what is mistakenly referred to among Americans as “Indian Tea.”

It’s worth touching for a moment on America – ma huang has come in for criticism in recent years, after the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) moved to outlaw the herb’s commercial sale in 2004. Whether this was a case of sensible leg- islation or cultural misappropriation remains unclear, though the US’ use of the herb does seem entirely at odds with its role in Chinese society. Whereas Americans had taken to using it in concentrated form as a weight loss supplement, the Chinese prefer to use it sparingly as a means of concentrating the mind.

To the untrained eye, ma huang looks indistinguishable to household green tea.

www.thatsmags.com / March 2015 57 COVER STORY

However in actual fact, what I have in front of me are the plant’s stems, rather than its leaves, as it is the stems that contain the plant’s potent alkaloids – ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. This soon becomes apparent during the brewing process, when the tough, wiry stems maintain much of their shape, unlike the more familiar leafy teas. The real difference, though, is in the taste. I begin my experiment by brewing a small teapot – enough for about three large cups. The smell is strong but not overwhelming, and offers no indication as to the bitterness that awaits. There is no escaping the fact – ma huang is unpleasant. It tastes like medicine. To refer to it as ‘tart’ would be a compliment.

The effects are surprisingly swift, and are comparable to caffeine, although it does require at least one more teapot (four to five cups) to achieve the type of ‘buzz’ that comes from a double espresso. A more interesting facet is its apparent calming effects. Unlike coffee, the more ma huang I drink, the less anxious I become. There are no twitches, no noticeable raise in heartbeat. It is a strange, almost meditative feeling – a combination of heightened attention and relaxed physical state.

The effects last for much of the morning – a little longer than coffee, and without the sudden slump.”

Verdict: I have continued to use ma huang, though the bitter taste remains a problem – even when mixed with honey. Not only does is it improve concentration at work, it helps increase endurance during physical exercise. The real question is: why aren’t more people taking this stuff? 8/10

Golden Worm; Yartsa 冬 Gunbu; Cordyceps Sinensis 虫 Origin: Tibetan Plateau Dosage: 1 to 6 grams, gently crushed and boiled in tea, taken up to three times daily.

Purported effects: A highly-complex and invasive fungal bacteria, Cordyceps Sinensis germinates inside the still-living larvae of the mountainous Tibetan ghost moth, before proceeding to kill its host and mummify it, causing a chemical reaction that results in a 夏 stalk-like protrusion that emerges from the ghost moth’s corpse. Cordyceps Sinensis is one of China’s most mysterious and highly-prized medicinal ingredients. It is believed to increase activity related to the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain. Effects are alleged to include extreme resistance to fatigue (making it a popular supplement among China’s Olympic athletes), elevation of mood, heightened libido, euphoria and loss of appetite. However, repeated high-dose exposure is thought to lead to delusions, 草 psychosis and paranoia.

58 March 2015 / www.thatsmags.com COVER STORY

Trial: “For every mountain there are several thousand worms, and for every worm there are at least ten men – their faces wrapped in darkly-patterned scarves, their long hair matted and damp. Some kneel, others crawl. Everyone moves slowly, methodically, scouring the ground; everyone, that is, apart from us.

We had ingested our first dosage at dawn, some two hours previous: four generous fist- fuls of crisp yellow-tipped worms, lightly crushed and brewed in fresh spring water – and now the effects were beginning to take hold.

The feeling is not immediate – there is no sudden jolt or rush, no wave of euphoria. Instead there is just a strange sense of momentum, a never-ending reserve of energy compelling us forward. We navigate the uneven rock face, our movements quick and precise. Patches of green give way to snow. The gradient grows steeper and the path less clear. Around us men pick with their fingers at the frigid ground. Some are alone, while others search in packs. Few look up or acknowledge our presence. Every so often a celebratory cheer echoes through the air. We pass many stones and sky burial spots. Ragged lines of prayer flags flutter in the breeze.

There is an effortlessness now about our steps. We leap between crags, grab onto nooks and hoist ourselves upward. The snow is thick – almost to our knees in parts, the air heavy with moisture. We bound ahead, our pace never once letting up, until the flicker- ing of the foragers’ campsites are reduced to the merest of dots far below.

Finally we pause – would it be better to save the remaining dosage for the descent, or should we drink it now – before its powers begin to wane? We settle on half now and half later – a final boost before the push to the summit and a reward for making it to the top.

My traveling companion – a middle-aged Czech professor, had acquired the worms from a friendly young motorcycle nomad named Lobsang in exchange for two bottles of single molt Scotch whiskey the previous afternoon. It was a good deal: in recent years yartsa gunbu – or, as it’s known locally, ‘the golden worm’ has become one of the most profitable sources of income for young Tibetans. Once harvested, a single kilogram can be sold for as much as USD18,000. A fateful season such as this can be a veritable ‘gold rush’ attracting men and women from throughout the region. Fortunes are made or lost during the two-month harvesting period. Competition is fierce. Turf wars are common.

It is mid-afternoon by the time we approach the peak, unsea- sonal mist obscuring what should be a panoramic view of the surrounding valleys – a great shame apparently – not that either of us really seem to care. The experiment has been a success: the gunbu works. We congratulate ourselves with a final dosage of hot worm tea. We have reached the top of the mountain in under eight hours. “I feel like a young man!” exclaims the professor, his white hair blowing across his face. “We should buy more – do you have any whisky we could trade?”

Verdict: This zombie worm is unique – it’s one of the few TCM remedies that actually lives up to the myth. Better still, it has no discernable comedown (aside from aching limbs). In short, a clean amphetamine-like high, with a bitter but not unpleasant taste. If only it were more readily available and less expensive. 9/10

Yin Yang Huo; Horny Goat Weed; Epimedium Grandiflorum

Origin: South China, plus parts of Europe and central Asia. Dosage: Although available in pill form, it’s recommended (for the sake of purity) to be boiled and taken as tea.

Purported effects: Unlike most drugs listed here, there is little avoiding what horny goat weed does, thanks to its name (other names for it include rowdy lamb herb and randy beef grass). While present in several cultures, the plant’s benefits were first noted by an observant Chinese goatherd, who noticed that his flock became particularly busy after chewing the stuff. Sadly, the weed’s population within China has been badly affected by excessive cultivation of wild species for use in TCM.

Still, studies have shown this time-tested herb works in several ways to improve sexual wellness. It functions as an adaptogen by increasing levels of epinephrine, norepine- phrine, serotonin, and dopamine when they are low, and reducing cortisol levels when 淫 they are elevated. Secondly, the weed acts to restore both low testosterone levels and the thyroxine (the thyroid hormone), improving sex drive.

Horny goat weed contains a variety of flavonoids, specifically icariin, which is a cGMP- specific PDE5 inhibitor – not dissimilar from synthetic drugs such as Viagra, Cialis and Levitra. Many men who think they need more testosterone actually don’t; they simply 羊 need to increase their nitric oxide production. Trial: “There is nothing remotely sexy or alluring about horny goat weed. No attempt is made to dress up the fact that this is a product first discovered by a goat. It arrives in a large green agricultural sack – an industrial bulk buy courtesy of Taobao, with some 500 ready-to-use teabags. No packaging. No instructions. Nothing. What’s the appropri- 藿 ate dosage – two, three, four bags? What’s the requisite level of horn? Or, to put it another way, ‘How horny is a goat?’ It’s the age-old question. I settle on two tea bags, and begin what I hope will be my journey into a bestial world of raging sexual urges.

Two hours later – nothing. Not so much as a dirty thought. Perhaps I’m in the wrong environment? I leave the office and head into the great wide open. ‘What would a horny goat do in this situation?’ I ask myself unhelpfully. With a lack of immediate grazing spots available in central Shanghai, I head to the next best place – Yongkang Lu. By this time I’ve drunk the equivalent of six tea bags’ worth of the stuff. The only urge I have is to use the bathroom.

60 March 2015 / www.thatsmags.com COVER STORY

I wonder if I’m doing it all wrong – maybe I should have eaten it – like a goat? I consider retreating to the toilet for a quick line, but a glim- mer of self-regard eventually stops me. After some 30 minutes of aimless wandering, I return home in the hope that my girlfriend might enjoy sampling a cup or two. I put the kettle on, lower the lights and set the radio dial to ‘smooth soul’. For the purposes of accuracy, I’m now ten bags in. And,still, nothing. I’m wondering if I’ve unwittingly ordered the wrong stuff? Maybe this was ‘tranquil goat weed’? I knew I should have paid more attention to the Chinese characters. What is the character for ‘horny’ anyway?

Finally, my girlfriend returns, takes one sip of the tea, and politely informs me there is no way she is going to drink something that tastes and looks like “pond water.”

Things are getting desperate. My colleague calls me to ask how the trial is progressing, and helpfully/unhelpfully suggests I try Porntube.com. Has it really come to this?

It’s nearing midnight, and still no noticeable effects. Viagra this isn’t. I do feel reasonably good though – is that quantifiable? A definite mild sense of vim. But then I’m pretty sure I always feel like that.”

Verdict: Extremely disappointing. Of all the drugs I’ve sampled, this was supposed to be the most powerful – a surefire thing. Would be unlikely to give it another go. On the positive side, it does taste okay. 1/10

Yan Hu Suo; Corydalis ambigua

Origin: Northern Hemisphere and Africa Dosage: Up to four cups measuring 1/2 to 12 grams daily, usually boiled for 30 minutes 延 in water to make a tea. Anything above three grams may have opiate effects; corydalis should not be taken during pregnancy.

Purported effects: A green-leafed, yellow-flowered plant known colloquially as “dark barbarian rope” and related to the opium poppy, corydalis is known as an effective 胡 pain-reliever among alternative medicine practitioners. It has been used in TCM as a ‘blood mover’ and all-round qi stimulator since the eighth century A.D., where it was discussed in Li Shizhen’s magisterial Bencao Gangmu or, as it’s known in Latin, Materia Medica. The active ingredient, Tetra Hydropalmatine (THT), can alleviate menstrual cramps, 索 stomach pains and headaches and, in mild doses, act as a sleeping aid. Some believe regular doses can provide effective prevention against heart attacks, arrhythmia and stroke by increasing blood circulation. For large doses, expect an effect similar to that of codeine, a common analgesic opiate.

www.thatsmags.com / March 2015 61 COVER STORY

Trial: “If anyone is in need of analgesia, it’s journalism teacher and sometime actor Carlos Ottery. I approached him, currently residing in Shenzhen, to test-run the ancient herb.

‘Try this and tell me what you think.’

‘What is it?’ ‘TCM. With the potential for abuse, maybe.’ ‘Sure, sure - but what is it supposed to be for? You know, when you are not abusing it?’ ‘Dunno. Headaches or something.’

And that was that.

The next night, not knowing what to expect but full of journalistic endeavor, I poured all three sachets into a mug and brewed up a tea. At least, I hope that’s what you were supposed to do with it. In the absence of needles, pipes, rolling paper or tobacco, a tea seemed prudent.

It had a bitter, almost acrid taste, which I took as a good sign; efficacious medicines always taste the foulest. Twenty minutes later, I began to feel a distinct warm glow all over my body, centered on my stomach. Very soothing indeed – I felt pleasant, relaxed, almost sleepy; it reminded me of Valium.

Potential for abuse, I don’t know. You would have to be very keen indeed, but I guess some people are, aren’t they?”

Verdict: Not a bad one. Probably wouldn’t buy it again though. 6/10

Lu Bian; Deer penis Origin: China Dosage: Extracted from the deer whilst still alive, then roasted, dried and preserved while the deer looks on. Served with hot chilli sauce.

Purported effects: “Nature provides symbolic clues to treatments,” wrote Beijing- based scribe James Palmer in a TCM-focused article in Aeon magazine. “Animals, too, carry cures within them: the roaring power of a tiger can be extracted from its bones; the strength of an ox from its gall stones.” It’s a concept similar to the Western one of ‘You are what you eat’ (the corresponding Chinese is chi shenme, bu shenme (吃什么补鹿什么).

Thus, eating the penis of a tiger will make you a big cat in bed – as well as a scofflaw (trade in endangered animal parts is now illegal in China). The doe-eyed deer might have a reputation as a gentle, skittish creature but its genitals are large – and thus im- 鞭 bued with mythic properties, especially prized by the elderly.

62 March 2015 / www.thatsmags.com COVER STORY

It is believed that deer-penis wine is an effective remedy for athlet- ic injuries (it was even banned for use by Chinese athletes during the 2008 Olympics) while it is also, of course, “good for men.”

Trial: “I’ve had my fair share of animal genitalia over the years – but then I believe if you are going to eat penis, eat some damn penis. My first experience was in Lahore, where a group of baying men roared their approval as I consumed a spicy bowl of testicle taka tak. It was delicious, though Pakistan is far from the ideal place for a single foreign man to be walking around with ‘increased virility.’

Since then, I’d brushed off the sniggers of various foreign hosts in a variety of locales and chowed down on sheep balls, fish semen and, in Yunnan, barbecued pig penis (the latter, bizarrely, is corkscrew shaped and like chewing on a gristly rubber hose).

But my most significant ingestion of mammal member was at the Beijing restaurant Guolizhuang in Dongsishitiao, a dining outpost where the concept is ‘penis.’ Sure, you can get hold of some other wild stuff here – stewed deer’s head and sheep foetus in garlic gravy, supposedly – but Guolizhuang’s fame, or infamy, rests on its wide range of edible lingam. I was accompanying Ruth, a German journalist writing an article about the place (for the FT, oddly enough) and so was determined not to act like a fool and just eat the stuff, rather than make endless dick jokes.

First impressions weren’t great. Arriving on a bitter winter’s evening, the restaurant was cold and empty. I remember regarding a huge stain on the fraying carpet in the entrance, and wondering if it was vomit. We passed several private rooms, sadly bereft of the toasting businessmen I’d imagined enjoying their meals, and arrived at our poky little dining space.

Eschewing the waitress’ rather fanciful recommendations – she was particularly concerned that my female companion was eating penis, which was touching – we went for the all-star platter, a smor- gasbord of penis in hot pot with a typical coy yet florid appellation that escapes me now. It was also absurdly extravagant – a couple of thousand yuan – but the paper was paying, so we ordered some expensive beers as well.

The soup was served with a ton of accoutrements, but the main draw came on a large platter with a well-weathered carrot, carved in the shape of a detailed phallus – the chef must have been a talented schoolboy in his time – that was clearly rolled out every time someone ordered it. Eating it would have been a heartless act.

The genitals were all pretty different. Dog penis comes on a bone, which seemed particularly unpleasant, while the horse looked like slices of hexagonal jellyfish, with the

www.thatsmags.com / March 2015 63 COVER STORY

consistency of sea cucumber. We both had a large slice, and watched each other chew. Then, Ruth turned white and began gagging, prompting me to throw up in my mouth; it felt like a scene from Pasolini’s Salò.

Several beers later, and with still no stomach contents actually spilled, it was time for the deer dick. This stuff was very different: sliced thinly and served with parsley, it re- sembled porcine carpaccio, and would have been almost appetizing, had it not been for the consistent mantra of “It’s a penis” that couldn’t be mentally shaken.

We actually got through this pretty well: it comes with a dipping sauce, which is good for masking the taste – so you can pretend you’re eating bacon – but the sauce is also f*cking hot, which is just plain cruel on the part of Guolizhuang.

I managed to get through quite a lot, but then remembered I was going home to a cold, empty bed, so reined myself in midway, and started chugging the beer – oh, sweet brewer’s droop, embrace me.

By the time we finished the meal the table was a mess of spattered hot pot and uneaten, inedible penis. I asked for a dabao box, and took the remaining manhoods home, for decency’s sake: it’s just poor husbandry to waste the best bit. My dogs, Guo and Molly, were glad to see me, and even gladder of my gift to them. They wolfed it down, and I went to bed; the next day, I returned home to the unspeakable sounds of Guo vigorously romancing Molly, making the whole experience seem even more thoroughly regretta- ble.”

Verdict: Deer penis is probably best enjoyed as it is usually consumed: soaked in a vat of baijiu for several months, and then downed in tiny thimbles. Drink a couple of shot glasses a day for several weeks and watch that male function improve.7/10

He Huan Hua; Albizia Julibrissin

Origin: China, Iran, Korea and Japan Dosage: In TCM, dosages range from 9 to 15 grams a day, taken in water, or as a poul- tice applied to the skin; first-timers can probably benefit from as little as three grams a day.

Purported effects: Sometimes known as ‘Chinese Prozac,’ the flowers of the 30-foot mimosa tree were first mentioned in theShennong Ben Cao (Divine Farmer's Materia Medica), a pharmacopeia written between 300BC and 200AD, as a calming tonic or ‘spirit (shen) herb,’ especially for grieving widows and orphans, for insomnia, amnesia, 合 as well as depression, melancholy and anxiety. The bark is said to anchor the spirit, which the flower lightens, together making it an excellent shen stabilizer – similar to kava or St John’s Wort. For those who prefer to avoid pharmaceuticals, Albizia is a credible, natural, safe (and far less expensive) alternative to anti-depressant/anxiety treatment with no reported side effects, apart from possible drowsiness. 欢 Trial: “While I’m by no means a believer in New Age stuff or even modern TCM, the idea of using chemicals to adjust serotonin levels in my brain – or whatever these 花 Prozac-like drugs do exactly – has always freaked me out. Yes, I know, it’s probably no

more extreme than drinking alcohol and smoking the odd joint, but I have certainly known friends who’ve suffered from forms of mental illnesses – depression, anxiety, at least one person who is bipolar – who have had their per- sonalities altered (deadened, in some cases) through using these drugs. They can be addictive, and have unpleasant side- effects – impotence, insomnia, sleepiness – which arguably could help trigger the very symptoms they are supposed to cure.

Chinese herbs, by contrast, are cheap, widely available and things like he huan hua are said to be almost completely safe [always check with a doctor, though – Ed]. I’d been feeling pretty depressed. A Chinese friend recommended I see her local doctor; I did but declined to follow the exact advice I was given – which involved avoiding certain foods and preparing a vile herb drink twice daily to sip throughout the day – instead simply deciding to look further into the Chinese history of dealing with mental ailments.

I began taking he huan hua as an experiment, figuring I didn’t have much to lose, and took five grams, three times daily for a week. I noticed that on the third or fourth day, I woke up feeling unusually chipper and it wasn’t until a friend re- marked over lunch that I seemed to be doing better that I realized it may be connected to the Chinese herb. I stayed on for a week or so before I began reducing the dose, as my supply ran low. When I ran out, I didn’t buy any more. Since then – about a month or so ago – I haven’t suffered any noticeable withdrawal symptoms, except that I do feel slightly less tranquil: I feel normal, in fact.”

Verdict: Herbs like he huan hua have been providing effective relief for mild depressives for centuries without causing any reported harm. Don’t expect to get high but do expect to maybe get better. 4/10

That's Shanghai would like to remind readers to always check with a doctor before taking any of the above TCM remedies.

www.thatsmags.com / March 2015 67 feature The Lawson Challenge Notorious convenience store BY Ryan Kilpatrick

You see them on every street – Shanghai’s plethora of convenience stores: Family Mart, Kedi, 7 Eleven and Lawson’s. They are the real kings of convenience, supplying to the city’s most carnal needs: hot food, drinks, cheap alcohol, and uh, sex toys/condoms. Pride of place at front of store are steel tubs filled with murky looking soup and miscellaneous items on skewers, guan dong zhu (关东煮, derived from Japanese oden). Immensely popular with locals, they are often unfathomable to outsiders. But maybe we’re missing out on something totally delicious? We sampled the lot of them, and here’s the lowdown on the best of the bunch.

If all life transitions were without challenges, however, we might never learn how resourceful and resilient we can be. A transition can be positive or negative, planned or unexpected. It can be an emotional/psychological transition, caused by experiences like a death in the family or divorce, or a physi- ological transition, like going through puberty. There are also intellectual transitions, such as from high school to university, and physical transitions, like moving to a new country. More and more people are experiencing that last type of transi-

It is also reported that expat assignments sometimes fail because of adjustment issues, family troubles or a lack of organizational support. When you transition to a new country, you may experience certain frustrations, such as loss of freedom, cultural issues, relationship adjustment or family members’ becoming more dependent on each other. Commonly reported negative consequences are disorientation, feelings of anxiety, loss of identity, isolation and criticism of other cultures. Tips for coping

•Identify your own methods of stress relief •Plan a daily routine and stay focused •Develop a good support network •Setpeace future goals •Try the five P’s: Pay attention/Get perspective/Pause/Play/Make

•Maintain a balanced lifestyle •Learn to say “yes” and “no” and to take a time-out •Get adequate sleep •Travel for pleasure •Explore what the new country has to offer - •Volunteerzines, for information •Use external resources, such as published websites and maga Common mental health issues due to transitions are relationship issues, family and marital problems, behavioral issues in children and communication issues. If these are not resolved and coping skills have not been developed, symptoms of maladjustment, anxiety and depression can become more severe and may result in a more complex mental health diagnosis. Consult a mental health professional for assistance and support.
