		<description><![CDATA[Went to a rifle range. I fired a 357 revolver and a 22 rifle with a telescopic sight. Shooting is addictive – the bang, the kick, the smell of cordite, the wisp of smoke, and the satisfactory clunk, familiar from so many films, of slamming home the bolt. But I noted with disquiet that a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wander into a dense crowd of middle aged folk, hundreds of them, mostly women, and most are displaying a piece of paper with a set of vital statistics on it &#8211; height, date of birth, education, salary. Is it some kind of job market? No, the print outs remind me of classified ads. It [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everything for Du is niubi, ‘cow’s privates’ &#8211; a boss, a venue, a magazine &#8211; but the term is so fluid it is hard to say what, exactly, it means. Sometimes it is employed exactly like the English ‘dog’s bollocks’, to refer to something that is excellent, the best. But sometimes it is used in [...]]]></description>

Not wishing, though, to actually lie to people who I might end up hanging out with, I have to construct a tower of evasions, which breaks under the mildest of inquisitions: ‘You’re a writer? What do you write?’ ‘Travel stuff. Novels. Screenplays.’ ‘You mean films? [...]]]></description>

It’s on the Bund, which is the strip of fusty colonial architecture, the old headquarters of the great merchant houses and opium traders along the west bank of the Huangpu. And I’m looking across the river at the skyline of Pudong. A decade ago the area was [...]]]></description>

In China October 1st is a national holiday – it’s the date the Commies officially took charge – but recently the holiday has been extended to a week, to ‘stimulate consumer spending’.
