I've recently discovered a fun series on Youtube: Sexy Beijing. It's a collection of light social commentaries hosted by a spunky Jewish-American, Sophie aka Su Fei, in a well-done SATC parody (narration and all). Hilarious stuff! She goes out onto the streets interviewing the locals on various subjects from feminism to weddings to Christmas, giving interesting insights into lifetyles and culture in Beijing and beyond.
She speaks crazy good Chinese. (For a 'lao wai', anyway.)
Here's an episode:
Wildly entertaining. Check it out!
About Me
- Meow
- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
- Born and raised on the sunny island of Singapore, she was an ordinary girl with an ordinary life - she was a band geek, classical music nut, and drank only on New Years. She rode the subway to malls on weekends, subsisted on spicy local fare, and enjoyed soaking up the tropical sun.
One day, she woke up and found herself on the other side of the world in Steel City - sorority chick, jazz fiend, and needing a bigger wine rack. She treks through sleet and snow for new adventures, carries her camera wherever she can, and is a menace behind the wheel. She lives in an apartment in the city with two cats named after condiments and a Yank who builds robots.
She still plays the piano and likes her sambal hot.
This is a collection of her stories and pictures.
