Next Week, New World Notes Goes (Back) to China!

By the time you read this, I'm happy to say, I'll be on my way to China, where I'm working on a project with Yodo1, a successful Beijing-based publisher of Western mobile games. While I'm there, I'm also planning to blog about the growth and evolution of virtual culture in China, where online worlds are a truly massive market in the hundreds of millions, so stay tuned for insights from that front. (If I'm lucky, I'll get to catch up with my friend Cao Fei, above, acclaimed Chinese artist and creator of the SL-based installation RMB City.) In any case, regular New World Notes programming will continue, both from me and the brilliant Janine "Iris Ophelia" Hawkins, who'll keep you apprised on all that is stylish in Second Life and worlds beyond.

Next post from Shanghai (hopefully)!

Have a good trip, and have some of those Shanghai fried-egg-with-tomato things for me.

Couldn't stand the stuff while I was there, but often was the only palatable thing on the menu. Now I miss it!

Also -- the under-cooked fried potatoes.

And remember -- you don't have to eat the eyeballs. No matter how much someone tries to tell you, "That's the best part of the fish!" They're just pulling your leg. Same goes for drinking the baijiu.

Have fun!

I just had one, it rocked! I also appreciated the waitress coming out to show us the still-live grouper fish and blue-tip crabs wriggling in a pot before they went back and killed them, to assure us they were fresh as fuck.

Thanks, Ezra!
