Beijing, China (July 31, 2009) /ChinaNewswire.com/ — Intelligent People Solutions (IPS) launched Web Based Computer Programming Instruction pilot programs with 15 universities in China. The pilot programs began in February of 2009 and included universities in Shanxi, Guangdong, Hunan, Liaoning and Special Administrative Regions, Beijing and Shanghai.

The pilot programs introduced Codelab to Chinese Introductory Programming Students; Codelab is a web-based interactive programming exercise system for introductory programming classes in Python, Java, C++, C and other languages. IPS assisted universities participating in the pilot program by customizing Codelab content to match each school’s syllabus and textbook requirements.

“The customization work was actually quite easy as many of the schools used text books written in the West. It was gratifying however to see how quickly Chinese students grasped the programming concepts and moved on to more advanced exercises,” ed David Arnow, lead developer for Codelab.

The Ministry of Education in China reports over 2.3 million students enroll in introductory programming courses each year. University enrollments are on the rise and vocational and independent universities, which are joint ventures between State Schools and Private organizations, have benefitted the most by accommodating students who are not eligible to enter into a State university.

“By establishing the reputation of learning tools, like Codelab, with State run Universities, we are positioning our self for the much more lucrative private education market”, remarked Alistair McArthur, Sales and Marketing Director for IPS. “Less than two thirds of university graduates are employable, but their families are more than willing to invest in educational and vocational resources that will provide their children an advantage, and that is the market IPS is targeting”.

I live, work, play in Shanghai, China’s largest city, largest
port; a city of 16 million people, (many millions more during
holidays and festivals), a city wanting to be the biggest, best
and most important in the world.

If you had been able to Travel Shanghai 10 years ago, and
returned today, you would see a very, very different city.
Shanghai today is a modern, 21st Century city, with tall, new
shiny buildings, amazing nightlights, a wonderland.

Shanghai is a Chinese city of surprises: – a bizarre, and
sometimes brutal, colonial history (British, French, American,
Italian, Japanese) and dark days exploited as an Opium trade
hub. Mix that with ancient Chinese culture and today we have a
city urgently trying to leave its colourful past behind and
which will soon be compared, in class and elegance, with any
major city in the world.

Shanghai is usually a business destination. However if you are
coming for a China vacation, or traveling through on the way to
somewhere else, Travel Shanghai China has some must-see
experiences and is a good way to introduce yourself to the
wonders and difficulties of Travel in China.

There is still a lot for the visitor to see and do in Shanghai.
Bars, Clubs, Business, the incredible skyline of beautiful tall
buildings as far as you can see. The 21st century architecture.
However, the truth be told, when you Travel Shanghai China, the
city itself does not have a lot of cultural feel about it.
Shanghai is the financial center of China.

‘ The beautiful colonial-style buildings along the river; an
area called the ‘Bund’ where these remarkable buildings from old
European days are marvelously lit up at night, and have been
beautifully restored; the contrast between the Old and the New
is quite a sight.

‘ At the southern end of another famous shopping street, Huai
Hai Rd, is an area known as the ‘French Concession’, where
peaceful tree-lined streets with wonderful colonial-style villas
would make you think you were actually in Europe.

‘ A must thing to see and do, is to visit the viewing platform
at the top of the Jin Mao Tower, the third highest building on
earth, the tallest with an hotel inside (the Hyatt). This
stunning building is 89 stories high and the view of the city
from the top is spectacular. A very special treat is to have a
buffet dinner at the Hyatt on the 53rd level, then go up to the
bar on the 89th floor and enjoy a drink and the view, which at
night will amaze you.

‘ Shop !!! There are Antique markets, Bird and Bug markets,
Commodity markets, Clothes and Fabric markets, local markets and
a very famous market where you can buy all the world’s best
brand names, at amazingly low prices. Shanghai is a shopper’s
heaven, come with a small suitcase and leave with a big one.

If you come to Travel Shanghai China and have time, just outside
the city, one or two hours on a bus are some real treats. Would
you like to see tranquil lakes?… beautiful Chinese gardens?…
ancient villages?

The first company that I worked for did not work out very well. We had some major communication issues. They thought I spoke Chinese very well and then I thought they would have spoken better English. There just wasn’t anything for me to do at their office from the hours of 8:30-5pm. So now I am currently working for an events and promotion company. They have me help out with events and also with updating English websites so that their events are promoted. The job is good and the people I work with are really great. The hours are just really awkward. I work late at night, but I guess that comes with working in Shanghai nightlife. It’s definitely something that is outside of ordinary for me, but it’s been fun.

Since my hours are weird, I have a lot of free time during the day. It’s been cool because I get to relax and take care of things that I need to get done like laundry and cleaning up my place. I have also done a little sight seeing on my own.

I went to the Aquarium here in Shanghai. It’s in Pudong right by the Oriental Pearl Tower. It was a pretty nice aquarium. The had a special exhibit on the Yangtze River critters. The aquarium also had exhibits of different regions around the world. Each area was decorated in ways that resembled the region. For South America, the entire area was like a jungle and also looked like it had ancient ruins from the Aztecs. For Africa, the area was painted like the Sahara and they had these two giraffe statues. It was really nice and enjoyable. At the end of the aquarium there was a really long under water tunnel that you could walk through. It was the longest one I have seen. It’s not just sharks and rays. There are different sections so I saw tons of cool fish, sharks, rays, and turtles.

On another day, I did a little exploring around the French Concession. There is a Propaganda Poster Museum. It’s kind of sketchy. You have to go to this apartment complex and at the entrance the guard will give you a business card to direct you to the building that the museum is located. It’s in the basement of one of the buildings. They have tons of posters and old books from the People’s Republic of China’s earlier days when Chairman Mao was in power. It was really neat to see all the propaganda posters. There were some directed against the US and others that promoted education and industry or, of course, the Communist Party.

In the French Concession, there is another area called Xintiandi which means something like New Heaven. It was an older area of the French Concession. Its an area filled with alley ways that used to house Shikumen homes or alley way homes. The place has completely been renovated and now houses restaurants and stores. There is one museum that is a Shikumen Open House. It is a replica of what a home might have looked like when they were built back in th3 1920’s or 30’s. I wasn’t allowed to take any pictures so sadly, I don’t have any expamples of the home. They are tall homes with two to three floors. The first floor houses the courtyard, kitchen, and living areas like the study/library. There is also a little room between the floors called the tingzijian. This room was often the hottest one in the house in the summer and the coldest one in the winter, so families often rented them out for a little extra income. Writers that came to Shanghai would often rent these rooms because they were affordable housing in the city and because of this the Tingzijian Literary Movement was born.

Shanghai has a lot of interesting places that are so different from each other. I have about five weeks left here, so I’ll be doing a lot more exploring before I leave. There is still so much that I want to see and do.

India has always struck me as a unique melting pot of class, religion, language, scenery and culture, within a single country, which makes it incomparable to any other destination one may visit and continues to enchant me.

I was delighted to revisit Rajasthan to see for myself what changes had occurred since I was last there. The main highlights on this route for the first time traveller are the sites of Delhi, the breathtaking and mesmerising view of the Taj Mahal, and the fortressed cities of Jaipur and Jodphur.

This time around, the real highlight for me was the painstakingly renovated fortressed palaces, fabulous scenery and fascinating historical anecdotes of the bygone era found deep in the heart of Rural Rajasthan.

My journey started in New Delhi, the international gateway to Rajasthan. A five hour journey south by car brought me to the “pink city” of Jaipur. Renowned for its gems, artworks and textiles it is an artisan’s city. With the assistance from the government and the King, artisans are invited from all over to keep their art and teaching alive, passing on their fine brush painting to younger generations. You can witness them in the grounds of the city palace.

It is said that the buyers of Bulgari are hid away in this city buying up the best diamonds. Unfortunately my budget only stretched to some high quality saffron that day.

The Rambagh Palace in Jaipur, dating back to 1835 and the first palace in India to be converted to a hotel in 1957, allows you to truly experience the nostalgia of the British Raj and the lifestyle associated with this bygone era. An extensive renovation programme has seen the addition of a sumptuous tented spa facility, complete with love swings and sitar players – set in the beautifully private gardens. I hope to return when I have more time on my hands for this pampering!

On leaving the city of 3 million inhabitants, I travelled to Shapura Bagh, located midway between Jaipur and Udaipur, escaping the city into the countryside. My driver informed me that the drive from Jaipur was four hours, but I hadn’t been asleep that long when we turned off the National Highway, at Gulabpura. From here it is a further 40 km of single track asphalt, slowing the journey down in order to allow passing herds of cattle, local buses bulging with colourful people and precariously loaded trucks carrying twice the height and width of itself again in hay!

Eyes wide open now, I had arrived in rural Rajasthan – raw life – and it was flooding my senses.

Shapura is a small bustling market town with a fabulous old bazaar, famed for its local Rajasthani slipper, the Mojaris. Although brimming with life, nobody appeared to be rushing. My driver continued to use his horn in the fashion of a city dweller, but nobody took the blindest notice! I knew instantly I would love it here.

Shapura bagh is a slice of heaven, offering a comfortable haven, allowing me to take a deep breath of fresh air and to hear the sounds of nature, instead of the sound of the persistent beeping of horns. Once the summer palace of the rulers of Shapura, it is now run as a boutique homestay and my hosts, Maya and Sat Singh gave me the warmest of welcomes and embraced me into their home as if I was a long lost relative. Active conservationists, they provide an eco friendly environment – solar heating, organic vegetable gardens, and fresh milk from their herd of cows. All meals are taken at the house and Maya proved to be the most excellent cook – ask for the home made Mango ice-cream!

I was lucky to spend two nights here, and it proved to be the ideal spot to recharge the batteries – no mini bar, no TV, barefooted servants with a quiet gracefulness and no airs and graces required on your behalf!

A highlight of the stay at Shapura is visiting the partly ruined and utterly romantic Dhikola Fort, which is still owned by the Singh family. Travelling by 1952 Willys jeep, up close and personal to the sights and smells of India, Sat and I drove out to the Fort for sunset. From the top of the turret the fort commands a view of the numerous lakes that extends as far as the eye can see – an unforgettable view.
