| This little alley next to ICBC has a wealth of character. Xin Jiang Lamb BBQ (1RMB) is a tasty first stopover, ?followed by Ngow Zap (Cantonese innards stew - 5RMB a bowl), then steamed rice (from 6RMB), Gui Lin Noodles (from 5RMB), and Bo Zai Fan (clay pot rice - from 9RMB). A foodstand resembling Pad Thai in Thailand even serves decent fried noodles for only 3.5RMB. Cool down with a glass bottle of coke (1RMB) and then watch various walks of life pass you by. Indeed, this is a great little find for authentic foodies.

| Shi Pai is a bustling street lined with trinket stores, boutiques and cheap bites (succulent crawfish can be found at 20RMB/500g), but the side street is the real deal. It's all about spicy food. Ma La Tang (vegetables cooked in spicy broth) ranges from 1RMB per stick. Sichuan noodles (from 3RMB) and smoked goodies stands (duck necks, dried tofu, etc) are scattered all the way down. The street comes to full life after nightfall and carries the dynamics well into the wee hours. Super for spice lovers!

Plastic bags get the sack
China outlaws free supermarket bags (at last)
From June 1, China will ban free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets across the PRD region, and begin charging customers for the privilege. This new ruling aims to tackle the country's significant litter pollution in the hope of creating greater public consciousness about environmental protection.
The plastic bag, which was originally invented by Austrian scientist Max Schuschny in 1902, is currently the intense focus of debate around the world. This debate falls into two camps: Are they the villain which environmental groups (and politicians) claim them to be? Or have they become a scapegoat in order to disguise far worse pollution, such as electrical emissions, wasted food, and paper landfill?
According to some cities like London and San Francisco, a "Bag for Life" project (that is, a recycled shopping bag) has seen overwhelming s ... ... |

| Chances are that you, dear reader, are currently reading this issue of that's PRD in a coffee shop. This is because coffee marketers are working on transforming China – the birthplace of tea for 5,000 years - into a coffee drinking nation. Roasters, brewers and baristas are waking up and smelling the, um, coffee right under their noses. Its no wonder multinationals are queuing up to cash in on the trend. From coffee art and java appreciation classes to barista competitions, locals are flocking to embrace the world of coffee...
Facts and figures
Industry experts are carefully sniffing out the 300-plus million Chinese urbanites, especially the young and affluent consumers, in order to increase their current 50,000 tons turnover, according to the Coffee Association of Guangzhou (CAGZ), which set up shop in December 2005 to develop the city's coffee market. Statistics show that coffee consumption in China has increased by almost 20 percent year on year f ... ... |

Age: Early '50s
Where I live: Panyu, Guangzhou
Where I come from: Port Sudan, The Sudan
What I do: Executive Director
Why have you chosen to live in South China?
I came to Guangzhou in 1976 when I was just 19-years old. I studied medicine at Sun Yet-sen University, graduated in 1982 and completed my Masters degree in 1991. I've always enjoyed living here so I decided to call it home. Over the years, I'vew witnessed ?progressive changes and positive trends, both in industry and the economy. I saw it as a chance for self development and therefore started a business here.
Do you have a social network from your own community here?
Initially, I did not. I was the first Sudanese student in Guangzhou, then the first Sudanese family, and then the first Sudanese to have a child born here! I did not have a great number of friends at first. However, there are now more and more Sudanese people these days, and this has allowed me to have a close-knit group ... ... |

| With an integrated history of 3,000 years, the Pearl River Delta boasts China's richest mixture of foreign inhabitants. So, never mind the Canton Trade Fair, it's time to meet the folks next door . . .
Niamh Browne
Where I come from: Dublin, Ireland
Where I live: Guangzhou
What I do: Manager at The Paddy Field pub
Why do you live and work in China?
I live here because China is a land of opportunity and I can do things here I would never be able to do back home. I had a good job in Ireland but life was so expensive; it could become a vicious circle of debt and you could so easily end up feeling like a corporate slave, or a robot. Here, in Guangzhou, there is far more freedom. You meet great people and can hang out with them whenever you want.
Do you have any friends from Ireland here?
The Irish, as everybody knows, are great travelers so there are always plenty of us about. Working at an Irish bar helps too. But it is the opportunity to meet ... ... |

| To celebrate International Wome n's Day, we examine the pivotal role which Cantonese women have made in Chinese society, both past and present.
Revolution in the head
The role of women in 20th century China has been radical, yet more work still needs to be done . . .
From the early days, when Western ideals such as humanism, liberalism and equality came to China in the late 19th century, the struggle of Chinese women striving for freedom and independence has never ceased to rest.
In a feudal society that lasted over two thousand years, the women of China experienced a bitter history of prolonged oppression and degradation, both mentally and physically.
However, in the first half of the 20th century, with revolutions, civil wars and invasions interweaving one another at a rate that leaves one breathless, Chinese women were freed to some degree by education and the opportunity to g ... ... |
