A Bidding Lesson In the season of giving, the Eton House International School held a charity auction on December 14. Produced by ten different classes, bidding for ten works of art preceded student performances. RMB 46,000 was raised for COCOA, a charity benefiting orphans in China. The highest bid went to Mrs. Lu from Houjie Town. “I like it. It has so many items here. It gives you the feeling of future,” Lu said. Afterward, a silent bid on 11 teachers decided which child would be treated to a Saturday morning accompanied by their favorite teacher at the Zoo in Liaobu Town.
Add Two for Tango Two more clubs have joined an ever expanding scene. The latest is Mass Club just behind One for the Road in Dynatown. It opened on December 22 with the standard red carpet fanfare. The stage shows were well rehearsed and the crowd was thick. Down Dongcheng Road in Moonbay Plaza, another modernly decorated club opened to a well accepted and well spoken word-of-mouth reception. Since their soft opening on October 24 they have remained open, but are yet to announce a grand opening.
Local Movie Force Dongguan is aspiring to throw off the accusation that it is a cultural desert with a schedule of original cultural activities. Over a dozen short films from eight local and foreign independent filmmakers were displayed from Christmas Eve to January 2 in Batou Village’s Tai Ji Tang. “We hope to provide a stage for more talented and creative youngsters who don’t have large budgets,” said Taiwanese store manager Matthew Shih. Five-year Dongguan resident Adofey Buckman of Ghana presented two films. “It was not easy. I had to persuade [locals] to get them to do what I want,” he said.
Talk about It Every Sunday for the last two months a discussion group has met at Stir it Up in Nancheng. The group, meeting on the tent-protected restaurant patio, is bringing together different people from different communities and cultures under the name Three Bridges Culture Club. Discussions and demonstrations have covered wine, charity, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and various holidays. Future plans will include other social events for club members, which can be accessed at three different levels of enrollment. Club founder and HERE! contributor John Lombard said, “Everyone is welcome, although some English language ability is encouraged as some events will only use English.”

Similarly to the act of consuming alcohol, drinking games harken backwards into the antiquity of nearly every culture that has ever existed. From beer pong to quarters, all drinking games serve one purpose: to get your opponents obliterated. Liar’s dice is a centuries old custom that purportedly originated in South America. It later moved to mainland China via Hong Kong where it has become a staple of drinking culture in bars and clubs. The game, gaining notoriety in Western countries, was featured in “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” and has an iPhone app. Often used as social lubrication by locals, Andy, a businessman from Guangzhou said, “Playing Liar’s dice is a way to create common ground between strangers at late night business drinking sessions. Everyone can understand ‘there are six threes.’”
Basics
The rules of the game are relatively simple; matches the bid. For a though regional variances exist. Five dice, bid of five-threes with Rule Variations shuffled beneath a cup, are concealed from three players, there Instead of consecutive rounds calling other players. Generally, ones are wild.

I watch the other players and try to see if I can tell if they are lying. Try to avoid repeating your bids or certain mannerisms when you play the game.” Being unpredictable is also a good strategy. Occasionally calling an outrageous bid or completely bluffing can keep other players from picking up on any unnoticeable queues. Chinese clubs are known to be boisterous and lively. Hand signals are often used to address this complication. Regardless, losing sometimes can increase the As with nearly everything in the country, there are regional differences in these gestures, notably with five, seven fun and only results in a few shots. and ten.

HERE! DONGGUAN » January 2013 13 raditional Chinese wedding Tceremonies have been mysteriously lively and complicated for thousands of years. Like their depictions in Chinese movies, the bride is covered in a red silk veil and carried by the “good luck woman” to the bridal sedan, a superstition designed to avoid being noticed by evil spirits from heaven or the underworld, and to prevent the bride from seeing anything unlucky. In modern Cantonese weddings, the climax of the old ceremonies have been reserved and revised into somewhat amusing and enjoyable customs to accommodate the younger crowd. Specifically in Dongguan’s Guancheng district, the swashbuckling groom takes to the late night streets in an armada of vehicles hiding their license tags from authorities. The bride can’t be seen and must avoid funeral processions and pregnant women, considered to be bad luck. The mischievous pirate and his followers must win over the princess from a fleet of greedy escorts who will endeavor to tease the groom and his representatives until they satisfy with red pockets of money, before the designated lucky moment. The battle between the two sides applies as a booster for the couple and their friends to stand the endless repetition of worshipping and praying until sunrise.
PIRATE Playful Conflict on a Serious Occasion or a long time, Chinese marriages were about succession, Fexpansion of families and the coupling of two clans, rather than personal romance. The teenage groom and bride had GROOM never met before and their marriage was arranged by their parents, and prognosticated by fortune tellers. Nowadays, the AND THE TALE OF THE situation has changed, but parents still request a traditional wedding involving various rites and excessive praying and DONGGUAN WEDDING worshipping to insure the future success of the marriage. The young generation, if not in downright protest against traditional ways, will follow the rituals even if they have doubts. “Chinese get married in the Chinese way. If I have children I will have them do the same,” said Sam Zhai, a 32-year-old local who got married in November.
As with other Chinese folk culture, the celebration is facing a crisis of extinction. Only a few elders, crucial in performing the customs, have inherited the knowledge.

The firecrackers were used to scare away evils and also served as a tribute to mission success. The tradition of fetching the bride with a bit of secrecy and violence is derived from primitive times, when men would plunder a bride from another tribe, and has evolved into a battle between groomsmen and bridesmaids. Sam’s friends and brothers needed to break into the bride’s bedroom with minimum amount of leixi (Cantonese Although when Sam handed the flowers for red envelope), preferably hammering to the bride they were worn and covered the door without giving any money; while with yellow, blue and purple paper debris, Jenifer’s friends and sisters needed to get as Jenifer was still ecstatic to see her man many red pockets as they could, relying on finally and formed a joyful expression on unbreakable doors and a bit of wisdom. her face outshining the bouquet.

For the same reason, a red parasol must shield the bride all the time to avoid attention of spirits from the heaven. Nowadays, the carrying custom has been discarded but the parasol remains. It was customary that daughters were not allowed to inherit any asset from her parents, so the bride’s dowry covered everything she needed such as clothes, furniture, and daily accessories and was carried by a queue of servants prolonged quite a few hundreds of meters to the groom’s house. Due to lack of sex education, the teenage bride’s mother would put ceramic sexual intercourse idols at the bottom of her suitcases to show her the secret at the last moment. They also believed this was a way to exorcise evil spirits. Nowadays, the bride’s dowry remains The Tang Palace in Global mainly symbolic with a few empty baskets Plaza of Dongcheng invited carried by bridesmaids or family.

The Cantonese food, the round table arrangement, the celebratory music and the red color are typically Chinese, but they try to bring a touch of Westernization with romantic pictures, the ring exchanging, and the champagne. Different restau- rants have their own surprises for guests. The Tang Palace in Global Plaza of Dongcheng invited Mickey Mouse and his girl friend to dance about during the initiation of the first dish of every wedding banquet. “The East and West can never be combined together in the design of a wedding,” said Debbie Ye, the graphic designer and founder of Creative Wed- ding Ideas. “Many of our clients have to do the Chinese way because their families want them to, but they often gave us Westernized pictures of them and decorations, which gave people the feeling of a Hong Kong tea house, with Chinese environment but selling adjusted Western food.” For the youthful who have studied abroad, they prefer to go to wedding planners to get rid of the cliché. Shirley Qi, the Chief Operating Officer of Dongguan Partner Wedding Planning Co., Ltd, told HERE! that they just organized a wedding taken place in the Yangjiang City of Southwestern Guangdong, where the groom was born. The bride was local. In the wedding, college classmates of the couple were invited to introduce the couple’s love story on stage. The groom entered by riding a bicycle with his bride sitting on the back seat in students’ clothing to remind guests that they met and fell in love in college. “Dongguan locals value food the most. As long as the food is good and the MC jokes a little bit on the stage, everything is OK. But we know that clients who come to us want something different. They hope we can bring a memorable wedding to every guest,” Shirley said. “After our carefully designed banquet, guests will be able to know how the couple met, how Sam raises his right hand to swear eternal they fell in love and what they went through, because some guests are their love in front of their guests. Sam and Jenifer enter the banquet room. fathers’ friends and they don’t know anything about the couple.”

One of the prevailing issues concerning Unfortunately, over the years we have seen no recourse, and remains at the mercy of the corporate establishment in China is still that of many disputes arise from foreigners working in Chinese directors and shareholders. Many small consultants suggesting setting up a local and having “set up” what then turn out to be have simply been dumped, and seen their Chinese company as a vehicle for a foreigner Chinese-owned businesses.

It began when I was 13 and eating at my best friend’s house. He corner as it momentarily rises to the surface before being consumed happened to be Indian, and the dishes served were full of small red again by the bubbling broth. and green vegetables I had never seen before. It wasn’t long before my mouth was on fire. Mum’s chicken soup never did this to me. What I’ve discovered that while the strange texture of tofu will always put was this stuff? More importantly, how do I make it stop? me off, fried tofu skin absorbs flavor and releases it generously with every bite. Also great at absorbing flavor is broccoli, which I declared But when it did stop, I found I just wanted more. It wasn’t long as my new favorite vegetable one day to a very surprised mother who before I began sneaking a bottle of Tabasco Sauce onto the dinner used to watch me push it defiantly around my plate as a young child. table. Mum’s chicken soup had small black When the meal is over, peppercorns that everyone Like sitting in front of a warm fire, there is splatters of sauce and would carefully avoid, my pieces of meat lie strewn mother watched in disgust something innately seductive about sitting across the table like debris as I began seeking them from an explosion; the out and crunching away, around a pot of steaming liquid. more messy the table, anything to feed my new the better the meal. addiction to chili. Finishing a meal can seem like ending a long journey when the table is united by the heat, the When I first sat down to have hot pot in China it was clear I had steam, a full stomach and burning mouths. Regardless of the steadily discovered my new favorite meal. At first I thought I had fallen for deteriorating relationship I have with my toilet, it is an experience I the volcanic lava of soup and never ending supply of freshly cut keep going back for. chilies offered for use in your sauce, but I’ve since discovered there is a lot more to Hot Pot than just burning holes in your tongue.
Hot Pot is traditionally one large pot of boiling soup in the center of the table which is surrounded by a circle of friends or family dipping vegetables and meat into the broth, fish it back out and dip into their own personal bowl of sauce before eating. The making of the sauce is an art form in itself, with customers going to a special station displaying an array of spices with which to brew your own concoction. From previous experiments I’ve made some alarming discoveries, such as that peanut butter was seemingly invented for the sole purpose of being combined with soy sauce, such is the perfection when the two are mixed together.
A good attraction in China is largely judged by how bustling with noise and excitement it is. ‘Rè nào,’ the Chinese phrase which describes this, is the key to attracting even more passer-bys to whatever it is you are doing. This explains the loud noises and pumping music which are ever present whenever a new shop opens or is doing a promotion. Hot pot is the epitome of ‘rè nào,’ with an endless stream of waitresses responding to shouts of “more soup,” “where’s my pork?” or “Mǎidān,” then add the raised conversation of diners whose strained voices fight an array of pots bubbling in unison and the already raised conversations at other tables.
Like sitting in front of a warm fire, there is something innately seductive about sitting around a pot of steaming liquid. As the rising steam engulfs the table in a wave of chili and garlic, I only need look up to see whatever hardships I am undertaking in pursuit of Chili Heaven are not being sought alone. My compatriots sit aside me, sweat forming on their brow and wielding their chopsticks like spears ready to pounce on that solitary piece of meat slowly cooking in the
