“This is WBC Muaythai’s first major establishment in China”, said Dennis Warner, a WBC U.S. representative who attended the opening. “We’ll be assigning two master trainers from Thailand and all the other trainers are official members of National Thai Boxing Team. Our goal is to develop champions from China throughout the world. We see a lot of potential fighters in China especially in Dongguan.”

According to the Honorary Chairman of the Ming Pu kickboxing club, who referred to himself only as Mr. Zhang, there are few reasons why they chose Dongguan as the training venue. “A variety of professional boxing gymnasiums have been already established in Hong Kong and Macau”, he said. “Aside from being near to Hong Kong and Macau, Dongguan has a rapid economic development. Also, we observe that Dongguan people are starting to like kickboxing as a sport and a form of exercise.”

Los Texmaniacs is four guys playing in a style known as “Tejano” or more simply Tex- Mex, for which Los Texmaniacs won the 2010 Grammy Award for “Best Tejano Album.” They performed as part of the “Culture Week- end” series of weekly performances in Guancheng.

When we were making this issue we felt like going back in time and making a “scrapbook” of the Dongguan international community. We started with a team of eight people nominating their favorite past stories as they were featured in HERE!. We asked them to choose only articles that had a local angle – Dongguan related, as you will see.

Throughout this issue you will be able to recognize some of the changes the city has faced since 2005, as well as the progress we’ve made in bringing you relevant and interesting contents. Also inside, you will find four pages of old MEGA.PIXEL photos of events we’ve featured in the first few years in HERE!. In the directory of this issue, check out the “graveyard” of restaurants and bars that were part of the scenery for some time in the past. To finish it, this month’s last page tribute the past “mythological” columns, Crumbs and Yes Mum.

Don’t miss next month’s issue - we will announce the details of our “5 Years HERE!” anniversary party!

It’s been a while. We’ve been publishing month in month out for 61 consecutive months since August 2005. Only five years, but doesn’t it seem longer?

I arrived in Dongguan in September of 2003 after a decision to follow my (then) girlfriend all the way to China. At that time, I had not even heard about this place called Dongguan. So i came to China, and from the very first night I was already settled in a cozy apartment in New World Garden - the “temple” of Dongguan expats. After a difficult year and a half, the idea to start this magazine came up with a friend of mine, so I began researching and learning.

Things didn’t work out well with my friend so I almost gave up on the whole thing and was considering going back home and leaving this place behind. But as it fortunately turned out, I stayed.

Then, HERE! was born. The first few issues we produced, even though they were not nearly as good as they are nowadays, were received with utmost enthusiasm by the expat community as well as local English speakers. Then, I started getting feedback from people who wanted to contribute by writing for the magazine and from then on, the snowball has been rolling fast as we have been trying to be here in various ways for the community.

HERE! DONGGUAN » August 2010 51 Yes Mum potty.

by Fazlin Mance Dear Yes Mum, family Can you explain this phenomenon which I have noticed in the local parks of late? I have seen an inordinate amount of children stealthily squatting in Spring’s bloom of Frangipani or leaning against manicured hedges pissing or pooping. Not only is this disturbing but the peeing or pooping is normally accompanied by a granny or carer standing nearby whistling. What’s with the whistling and is there an epidemic of children with bladder and bowel control problems? HERE! - J.K.

For those of us who cannot whistle whereby the minute the infant is born they start holding the child ‘out’ could we substitute another sign? Maybe the old ‘chicken’ dance could be over a sink, garden hedge, a lap; anything but a toilet, whilst whistling used as an associate/conditioning pee and poop sign.
