In Touch Shanghai

I’ll be in Shanghai on business and will have 1 day (a Sunday) to see some sights in February. What is a must? Also, any recommendations on restaurants that are western friendly but still chinese would be good (eg NOT mcdonalds!). Thanks!

Hi there,
For just a day I would suggest you to visit The Bund, there are about 50 buildings of different architectural styles and on the opposite side separated by the Shanghai Huangpu River is the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. Take a ride up the tower (not cheap though but worth it) this will allows you to see the spectacular view of Shanghai. This is one place that you must visit ,it represent Shanghai .If you have time, you can adjourn to the Yuyuan Garden known as the only old city and the only historical place left in Shanghai.
For dinner you can visit Xintiandi an urban area with historical and cultural legacies.Take subway 10 and get off at Xintiandi Station. Here, Crystal Jade Restaurant serve the best Shanghai Dumbling. Enjoy.

Short peep of Shanghai business district. You’ll also see some old buildings are being preserved despite massive development.

Motivation Letter

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Dear Sir or Madam
I appreciate this opportunity to provide further background information in support of my application for entrance to the Educational Administration program at the University of Jyvaskyla for the Autumn ,2012.
My intentions are to develop myself as an internationally oriented professional and expert for the field of education and educational leadership. The most impressive and effective way of learning is given by this department .I want to have masters and PhD in educational leadership. I found practical way of learning in this department that the Learning is built on the scientific expertise and practical experiences of the participants operating in a collaborative network of universities and practitioners which impressed me a lot to get admission. And even the program is also carried out in collaboration with international partner universities, that one is the best way to be in touch with the outer world’s knowledge in educational management and leadership.
Masters and PhD in educational Leadership would surely enable me to seek job as expert and researcher in national and international programs in education, development programs, and in educational administration in my country. Although, I believe that Knowledge is Power.
Concerning the quality assurance and university Ranking among world universities is remarkable of this university .I found that this university is ranked 303 by QS World University Rankings (2010), ranked 402-503 by Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) – Shanghai Jiao Tong University (2008), ranked 374 by Times Higher Education Supplement (THES) Ranking of World Universities (2007) , ranked 401-500 by Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) – Shanghai Jiao Tong University (2006) . And the Jyvaskyla as a city itself is the site of many education-related firsts in Finland, Jyvaskyla is known as a city of schools, the Athens of Finland.
During my studies and Job experiences, I always have proved myself the best leader and manager in all types of tasks and activities. I developed, practiced, and performed leadership qualities .And I am performing my duties with all abilities at my jobs as:
From 29 Jan2011 – until now .As a Lecturer and Head of the English Department, Center for English Language and computer sciences by Chamber Of commerce and Industry ,Medina Munwarah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
From Feb-2009-to-6 dec 2010. As a Lecturer and Head of English Department in Institute “Mahad Bait Quba" Medina Munwarah
From 15-08-2005 to 30-10-2006 . As Lecturer and Hostel In charge in Army Public School & College Dadu,Ministry of Education ,Pakistan.

Although I have tried to prove myself the best at my jobs but I believe that "Top is always vacant" so I want to improve my capabilities in Organizational behaviorism, academic skills, Orientation, leadership in educational organizations etc. The ambitions which I have just exposed to you would not be realized without a solid theoretical background and a strong real world experience specialized in masters and PhD in Educational leadership while living in Finland. I am deeply convinced that research master degree course that the University of Jyvaskyla offers is the best way of concretizing this future because of its international orientation. A completion of this Master’s and PhD Degree at University of Jyvaskyla will be an excellent springboard for my future career and will provide me the knowledge and confidence to realize my dreams. Furthermore, the courses this program combines match perfectly my professional goals and academic expectations.

In conclusion, I would like to say that I like to take responsibility and to work as part of a team. I am eager to gain new experiences. In my opinion, this program is the best way to achieve that. I keep an optimistic view that the University of Jyvaskyla would be an excellent start for an ambitious Educational Leadership career.

Thank you for considering my application.

Sincerely yours,
Ghulam abbas khushik

Shanghai is one of the world’s great cities. Its night skyline boasts thousands of colorful high rises, revealing the modern face of China—one of sophistication, big business, vibrant art and culture, and fine cuisine. At night, it becomes a spectacular cacophony of 60-story neon canvases where high-tech graphic artists try to outdo each other with dazzling displays. Armani, Sony-Erickson, Starbucks, Canon, Ikea, Dell, IBM, Hitachi, and Toshiba are just some of the businesses competing with gargantuan high definition plasma screens. They serve as a constant reminder and visual testimony of Shanghai’s startling transformation from heavy industry to services, logistics, and high technology. Since market restrictions were lifted, Shanghai has embraced the forces of business and design, shaping a fresh, new city that is sophisticated and innovative, defying the stereotypical notions of China.

I’m trying to answer a couple questions, but it seems vague.
Anyone have a simple and generalized answer to:
What was the role of Art in Chinese society before 1279?

"China’s highly developed material culture stretches back as early as the 7th millennium BC, when Neolithic (c. 6500–1600 BC) potters created forms and decorative schemes that would recur throughout the long continuity of Chinese art. The succeeding Bronze Age art of the Shang (c. 1600–c. 1050 BC) and Zhou (c. 1050–256 BC) periods, mostly in the form of cast bronze vessels and carved jades, developed those early decorative schemes into ritual items and potent motifs and carried the craft of bronze-casting, in particular, to the highest levels of technical sophistication. Even in these early periods, calligraphy, in the form of inscriptions on bronze ritual vessels and on oracle bones, played an integral part in Chinese ritual and art. Calligraphers and painters came into their own with the introduction of brush and ink, using composition, line and brushwork to express the emotions of the human spirit, as well as to record narratives of history and religion. Along with the art of poetry, painting and calligraphy were to become the most highly valued of the arts of China."

"China produced an impressive corpus of writings on the theory of literature, music, calligraphy and painting, and antiquarian studies. There are two major strands in the skein of these writings: a moralizing Confucian one, according to which art serves to communicate a message beneficial to human society; and a Daoist one, according to which the Dao of nature is expressed through the medium of the artist who has prepared himself to transmit it without conscious effort. "
