Its Thursday and its been about 3 days going, and i have to say doesn't seem to hard. utilizing public transport which is about 1.5 to 2.5 one way depending on your destination it has been manageable, as far as food goes well leng mian and fangbien mian always do the trick but have opted to do some veggie shopping in some underground veggie markets and cook soups that can last me a couple of days, so far i'm left with 40 .5 and enough food to last me till Sunday, the biggest test is going to be the weekend. getting my alcohol fix is going to be a bit of an experience with all the cheap rice wine who knows what i will choose. look out for the next post on Saturday.

This week i shall answer that question, as a foreigner in the city i tend to find myself spending quite a bit of money on a daily basis, in fact i would easily say i average about 50 RMB a day! when in comparison there are quite a few locals who manage to live off about 10-15 a day. So what can i change about my lifestyle in order to save some cash and at the same time eat healthy? follow the week long chronicle as i will be posting updates daily.

Last Thursday @ Chongqing Tiandi, marked the opening of The British Council's Transforming Public Spaces, "a major eight-month project bringing together communities, artists, architects and urban planners."   The project opened with a photography exhibit that was the result of a competition challenging its participants to capture Chongqing's public spaces, and marks the begining of an art synthesis between British and Chinese artists and citizens that aims to get people to view public spaces in a different light, "a key element of this is the consideration of the role that art can play in shaping cities by transforming public spaces and thereby improving the quality of urban life."
This was the first of a number of events including FLOCK, a mixed media instillation by UK artist collaborative KMA      in November.
