What is there to do in Cardiff?

A friend of mine is planning a visit to Cardiff, and asked me what there was to do there. And despite living there for five years, I couldn’t think of anything in Cardiff beyond the Castle, the Wales Millennium Centre, and Cardiff Bay (which is just a glorified upper-class entertainment mall) that was great and unique to Cardiff. So all I could suggest was the BBC Doctor Who Locations Guide (I made that!).

Have you got any suggestions?

While we’re on the subject, see what happens when a Chinese chef and a Welsh chef decide to make beautiful food together. Although I’m wondering what they CAN come up with…

My ideal job – eight years ago

Why does something tell me that nothing like this would happen over here?

MTV are looking for Chinese-Americans aged 18-24 with a “golden” personality. Somehow, I doubt that’d ever happen over here!

Why don’t Asians date Asians?

Just caught a trail for Big Brother US, which is showing on E4. The theme of the house is basically people and their ex’s – and they featured one Korean-American contestant, Jun who said that she wouldn’t date Asians any more because they had too many pre-conceived ideas of what Asian women should say and/or do.

Which is a tad strange because, erm…
a) I’m a British-Chinese male, and I certainly wouldn’t want a woman who cooked, cleaned etc. – apart from anything else, I like cooking!

b) Of the white guys I know and lived with who lusted after Asian women like my sisters, I’d imagine a fair proportion of the “fantasy” was the whole love-slave thing. Which most men probably have about women generally, of course.

Personally, I’ll date anyone I like – regardless of race. If I’m lucky ever to date anyone again!
