You know, you don’t have to commit to a whole awful hour a week. No, you can take Happy Jellyfish People’s Democratic Language Bureau’s three hour crash course! Perhaps even a crash course sounds too →
Working hard on our new film Simply The Worst, a frightening sci-fi look at what happens when the government forces simplified characters on us. So I suddenly remembered the above film about speech-making communist language →
This year is the first summer for ages I’m not going north and I don’t like it! I want to go to Xinjiang in August. Meanwhile if you’re going anywhere in China this year and →
So it’s the private companies that will be driving the communist hieroglyph takeover? Last week it was Hang Seng bank, now it’s HSBC itself. HSBC – isn’t that a British bank? A few years ago →
Who is supposed to be the mainlander, who the HK guy in this photo, advertising a big fiscal cooperation between the two entities? Who knows. But they will make shitloads of money, with the help →
Thanks to Eleanor Levett, the mad professor is back on the screen is all his mouth-frothing glory! Hong Kong people are thieves and dogs! We should all speak mandarin and shut up! Yes, this interview →

I’ve got a couple of beginners ready to take a three hour crash course in the noble art of “Ordering Stuff in a Restaurant or Bar in Excellent Cantonese.”
I know that most people visiting this site are already quite proficient in Cantonese, but perhaps you have friends who like to give it a go?
This Saturday, 3.30 to 6.30. When you sign up I will send you the course material. And as usual, we meet in the venerable Honolulu traditional Hong Kong greasy spoon, in 33 Stanley street, Central. It looks like this:
The food there is also very good.
Wei hey all you groovy Canto-learners out there. Check out “Return Of The Cantonese Fundamentalists.”
We put the fun back in mental!
