Disappearing Shanghai Hospitals

February 8, 2006 @ 10:13 am

Into the Hospital section. There are a number of Westernized hospitals/clinics in the big cities. Some offer relatively basic services, other have inpatient facilities.

They all share one thing and that is that they are pretty expensive. They love charging.

Another thing I just ran into is that they some of them, or at least their website have disappeared overnight.

A white page is all you get if you are in search of the Chiropractic & Osteopathic Clinic.

The Hong Kong Clinic has failed to register their website, at least that is how understand the friendly little policeman.

Registration of websites China

In case you run into these hospitals in the live world, make sure they are for real.

Descriptions of Kindergarten Websites

February 8, 2006 @ 5:16 am

I try to give short descriptions of website. For the Kindergartens I give info like whether it is Montessori oriented or not etc.

The hard thing of making a description is to cut through all the clutter websites use to market/promote themselves. Especially Chinese websites with an English section have the tendency to overdo it.

One Kindergarten describes itself as:

Develop in children a deep respect for cultural diversity, a sense of environmental stewardship and social responsibility.

and

The Campus of 3e International Kindergarten will delight the senses and inspire the imagination of your child.

Looking for a simple description on what they really offer is very hard to find. So my description becomes, boring as it may sound, “3e International Kindergarten, English as the language of learning in the morning and Chinese instruction in the afternoon.”

And, by the way, don’t bother going to this website using Firefox as it won’t display the page.

Kindergartens in China

February 8, 2006 @ 4:54 am

I am adding/editing kindergarten websites to their respective cities.
The number of English language oriented Kindergartens in China is increasing rapidly and they slowly get on the web.

Most are based in Beijing and Shanghai but I am pretty sure more cities will follow. Not only to cater to expats but also because Chinese parents seem to think that an English Kindergarten is better for the future of their children.
