In the year 2008, Olympic volunteers, as ambassadors of Beijing, will meet new friends from throughout the world. The Chinese people are eager for our guests to learn about our city and the people who live here. I. Brief Information of Beijing Beijing, abbreviated“ JING”, is the capital of the People’s Republic of China and the center of the nation's political, cultural and international exchanges. It is a famous city with a long history and splendid culture. Some 500,000 years ago, Peking Man, one of our forefathers, lived in the Zhoukoudian area of Beijing. The earliest name of Beijing 174 Manual for Beijing Olympic Volunteers found in historical records is“JI”. In the eleventh century the state of JI was subordinate to the XI ZHOU Dynasty. In the period of“ CHUN QIU” (about 770 B.C. to 477 B.C.), the state of YAN conquered JI, moving its capital to the city of JI. In the year 938 B.C., Beijing was the capital of the LIAO Dynasty (ruling the northern part of China at the time), and for more than 800 years, the city became the capital of the Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The People’s Republic of China was established on October 1, 1949, and Beijing became the capital of this new nation. Beijing covers more than 16,000 square kilometers and has 16 subordinate districts (Dongcheng, Xicheng, Chongwen, Xuanwu, Chaoyang, Haidian, Fengtai, Shijingshan, Mentougou, Fangshan, Tongzhou, Shunyi, Daxing, Pinggu, Changping and Huairou) and 2 counties (Miyun and Yanqing).

The major types can be roughly defined as: East Asian with its origins in Imperial China and now encompassing modern Japan and the Korean peninsula; Southeast Asian which encompasses Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines; South Asian states that are made up of India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan as well as several other countries in this region of the Vietnamese meal, in Asian culture food often serves as the centerpiece of social continent; Central Asian and Middle gatherings Eastern. Terminology "Asian cuisine" most often refers to East Asian cuisine (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean), Southeast Asian cuisine and South Asian cuisine.

For example, in Hong Kong and mainland China, Asian cuisine is a general umbrella term for Japanese cuisine, Korean cuisine, Filipino cuisine, Thai cuisine, Vietnamese cuisine, Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine, and Indonesian cuisine; but Chinese cuisine and Indian cuisine are excluded. The term Asian cuisine might also be used to Indonesian cuisine address the eating establishments that offer a wide array of Asian dishes without rigid cuisine boundaries; such as selling satay, gyoza or lumpia for an appetizer, som tam, rojak or gado-gado for salad, offering chicken teriyaki, nasi goreng or beef rendang as the main course, tom yam and laksa as soup, and cendol or ogura ice for dessert.

Men come in little boats, paddling their way across the Esinking river in the dim, blue-grey light before sunrise. They are looking for lotus root, the starchy staple that is a highlight of much Chinese cooking, and gives a sweetish solidity to a winter soup. This is the one segment of my favorite documentary TV series A Bite of China, which introduced the history and stories behind food, eating and cooking, and aroused lots of people’s interests in it. Food is always a hot topic, and everyone has something to say about it. Just like United States celebrity cook Rachael Ray said: “Never be a food snob. Learn from everyone you meet — the fish guy at your market, the lady at the local diner, farmers and cheese makers. Ask questions, try everything and eat up!” In our November/December edition, we are talking food. We bring you a warm and interesting story, focusing on six food lovers and the gourmet dishes of their hometowns. They include pilots, flight attendants, an air traffic controller and a head chef. Even though they come from different places, with diversified cultures, they share the same feelings about food.

  • Tianjin Reviews, Events and Information TIANJIN FOOD and DRINK AWARDS the City's Best Bars and Restaurants Revealed See P2
    tj Tianjin reviews, events and information TIANJIN FOOD AND DRINK AWARDS The City's Best Bars and Restaurants Revealed See p2 THE BUZZ TRANSPORT BLAST FROM THE PAST Damaged vehicles from last August’s Port of Tianjin warehouse explosion are finding their way onto the black market – and into unsuspecting hands. In an incident reported last month, a buyer paid RMB625,000 for a ‘brand new’ Jeep Grand Cherokee only to discover that it was a refurbished vehicle that had been damaged in the explosion. According to a notice released by Jeep last December, its Jeep Grand Cherokees were in the open-air – although outside the blast radius – at the time of the event. As such, the company requires its dealers to inform customers of this before purchasing. Additionally, 1,300 severely damaged vehicles were given to an insurance company, which was directed to keep them. Since then, a black market of dealers and repair shops has been repairing the cars and selling them at reduced prices. A professor at the China University of Political Science and Law, Zhu Wei, told China Radio International that industry regulators need to “ensure the cars that are meant to be destroyed are indeed destroyed.” RANDOM NUMBER EDUCATION ROMANCE 101 Tianjin University is now offering classes in an unconventional – yet universally experienced – subject regarding matters of the heart. The course, titled ‘Basic Theory and Experience of Love' has proved popular, with around 200 students attending the first lecture. Topics covered range from dating tips and etiquette to counseling, and are taught by teachers from the university and external experts.
