Ikea Shenzhen opened in April 2008 and has already generated quite a buzz in the city prior to opening. Ikea misses the crazy housing market from 2007, but I'm sure many Shenzhen people will be interested to see what this Swedish brand has to offer. Sunday the 20th of April we visited Ikea in Nanshan for the first time. Together with several thousands of Chinese, see the photos!
When we went home around 16:00, there was a queue at the entrance to Ikea. I think they (wisely) decided that the store was too busy and only let people in slowly. See below for more photos!

After living 2 years in Shenzhen I have collected lots of useful information about this city in south China. My website was purely in Dutch before, but I have decided to translate everything (except my blog) to English and I will publish lots more current information about Shenzhen on my website in the coming weeks. I hope that my website will become a good source of information for foreigners looking that are going to visit Shenzhen for pleasure or business. Already added tips for shopping, tourism and eating in Shenzhen!

I added lots of good information about Tencent QQ to my website. I hope this will help non-Chinese to learn more about Tencent and QQ. I also wrote a help page about registration and downloading QQ2005 or Tencent Messenger 2008 in English. I will add more information about QQ services and products later!

We visited the former Portugese colony Macau this weekend, which is about 80 minutes by boat from Shenzhen. Although famous for gambling, there is more to see in Macau. You can read all about it in our Macau travelreport.

De artikelen over China en Shenzhen zijn grotendeels herschreven. De pagina's zijn nog niet af, maar geven nu wel veel meer informatie. Leuke toevoegingen zijn de gekleurde kaart van China waardoor duidelijk zichtbaar is welke provincies, zelfstandige regio's en stadsgebieden er zijn. Het klimaat van Shenzhen geeft een goed overzicht van de temperatuur en de neerslag (vergeleken met Nederland). De pagina's zullen vanzelfsprekend nog verder moeten worden uitgebreid, maar het is een goed startpunt voor een ieder die informatie zoekt over Shenzhen.
