I'm fr Singapore planing on the June school holiday bringing to kids to shanghai any good package tour offer?

Hi there, I'm fr Singapore plan to bring to kids (16 & 12 yr old) to Shanghai on this coming June holiday, I've check with 1 agent that offer 8days shanghai + 2days hongkong adult $964 child wif bed $882 include airport tax, itinerary : Hangzhou, xitang water town, yiwu, suzhou, nanjing, wuxi, shanghai and hongkong. how's the itinerary? this is our 1st time visiting china, where are the best deal and cheap place to do our fever shopping cuz the elder kid were so happy when we plan to visit shanghai she want to buy alot of cheap stuff from there and i'm so scare that we'll be very disappointed in the end cuz due to the timming and we can't go by free and easy cuz I'm alone to look after two kids. don't mind give us some suggest for the shanghai trip with million of thanks. or you may oso email me at pearl_1o1@yahoo.com

Seems a little too tight. The price seems reasonable, have you tried www.chanbrothers.com. They are a local Singaporean travel agent.

You don't really need to go to Suzhou, Xitang and Yiwu. They are all small water towns close to Shanghai. Xitang & Yiwu is a day event while Suzhou is 2 days max (other than the Lingering Garden & musuem, that's about it). You will be spending too much time on buses and travelling.

Hangzhou is a must see, they have a lot of stuff around West Lake and Lingyin temple. The Dragonwell tea plantation is worth checking out too.

If given a choice I would prefer to spend more time in Hangzhou and Shanghai. Skip the other small towns if you don't have time.

Every product you buy these days, or at least some variant of it, seems to have been made in China. With a population that dwarfs that of any other nation in the world and rather relaxed labor standards, China has become the global center of manufacturing for mass production. And just when you thought that Acai berries, which are indigenous to the Amazon rainforests, could not involve the chinese mega-machine, Acai berry extract products are now somehow being produced there.

But mass production does not often translate into superior quality, and this is certainly the case with Chinese Acai berry products.

Because of the popularity of Acai products in today's health and supplement-rich market, many bargain-minded manufacturers have outsourced their Acai berry farming to China. This translates into Acai palm trees, that normally thrive only along the banks of the Amazon river, being grown in Chinese harvesting greenhouses to accelerate the amount of Acai berries that one can yield versus relying solely on Brazil's limited supply.

What these manufacturers do not understand, however, is that the Acai palm alone cannot account for the amazing properties of its fruit. The nutrients that eventually make their way into Acai berries are drawn from the water of the Amazon river, whose unique properties are what make the Acai berry so incredible. The result? Chinese-grown Acai berries are far less nutritious and effective.

Even more alarming is that Chinese farmers rely on insecticides and various types of fertilizers to grow the Acai palms, which could lead to chemical poisoning and other ailments associated with the use of these artificial methods.

Too many dishonest manufacturers are even now taking advantage of hapless consumers by putting these inferior products on the market, hoping that people will snap up anything that contains the word "Acai" in its list of ingredients.

Be careful where you buy your Acai berry extract products. Prioritize quality over quantity, and make sure you only order the genuine article, instead of a cheap Chinese knockoff.

Here is a list of reliable sites that sell quality - Acai berry products

Your wedding reception is going to be a festive and joyous part of your wedding day. Since it's a much less formal atmosphere than the wedding itself, it will give you a chance to spend some personal time with your guests in a lovely environment that you create yourself. Whether you hire a professional decorator or not, your personal taste will shine through at your reception and make it a warm, delightful part of the day for everyone involved.

The first thing you need to decide is what kind of a reception you want. Do you want something elaborate and elegant or more homey and casual? Your choice of venue can help you decide what would be most appropriate. If the reception is being held in a rustic old local meeting hall, you probably won't want to plan a wedding reception complete with white tablecloths and fine china, for example. So take your cue from the reception facility that is available, and use your best judgment to determine the kind of décor that would best fulfill your idea of a dream reception.

If you are trying to have a nice reception on a modest budget, there are a lot of corners you can cut without losing any of the fairy tale look you're trying to create. Online searches will help you find numerous sites that will give you ideas for decorating for your wedding reception. Paper streamers are always appropriate and inexpensive, and you can use paper table runners instead of cloth tablecloths, and they will look nice, too. If you'd first considered decorating your reception area with fresh flowers or a floral arch, you might want to consider using balloon decorations instead. They can be just as festive and won't cost you nearly as much.

Check out local rental centers. You may be surprised at how many items you can rent instead of having to buy them. Things like crystal punch bowls or potted trees can be rented for a nominal fee and then returned when you're finished with them. You can also create your own centerpieces by arranging bouquets of discount store silk flowers in pitchers, vases, or teapots you find at flea markets. Decorating on a budget can still be fun, and your guests will be impressed by the atmosphere you have achieved.

Rice pilaf is a wonderful dish and has been around for a very long time (although rice itself has been around for we don't know how long). All anyone knows is that it's full of filling carbohydrates, and it's warming to the soul. Make it a rice pilaf and you get the delicious warmth of chicken broth cooked into it. It's versatile and there are many recipes. It's great with chicken....it's great by itself to. Rice has come a very long way. In fact, no one really knows how long, because it was cultivated so long ago.

You may say, how long of a time ago. Well, put it this way, it has been talked about in myths on many continents. Images of rice have been found on pottery during archeological digs. The high belief is that the domestication of rice began in Thailand, Korat, or China. The reason they believe this is because they were all areas with a full range of plants and animals that were located near rivers.

About two million years ago the migration of the fauna happened and with the animals came the rice. They traveled to North China and that is where it ended up. Up there in Northern China were ideal conditions for growing rice. The heartland of rice cultivation was said to be in Southeast Asia though. The reason they believe this is from correspondence between certain groups.

Before rice was grown like it is now, rice was grown in forests under shifting cultivation. It was sort of like how wild rice is cultivated. There was also a different chinese method of puddling soil and transplanting seeds. The puddling of the soil makes the soil less subject to water loss.

At this point rice began to cover all the continents. In fact, the only continent that does not perform rice cultivation is Antarctica (as you can imagine it is pretty cold there). In the 16th and 17th century rice was actually discouraged by physicians in Southern Europe because of outbreaks of Malaria. They believed that it was spread by bad air of the swampy areas (In Europe Mal=bad, and aria=of air).

When the European settlers came to America in the 1600s they brought rice and planted it in the South, which is modern day North and South Carolina. East Africans brought even more rice with them when they were brought to America as slaves. After the Civil War it was being grown in Louisiana and Mississippi although most Americans preferred bread and noodles.

Rice pilaf itself was first discovered in the history of Alexander the Great from correspondence that described his visits with the Persians. It was also served to him during his capture of Marakanda. He brought it back from Macedonia and then spread it through Eastern Europe. From there it took over the world. The rest is history.
