    Wonderful Time

    Located in the infamous “Bird Flu Alley” that has been undergoing extensive clean-up recently, Wonderful Time catches the eye especially due to its comfy-looking interior. The warm decorationg give one a lovely homely feel, and even an assortment of pot plants that lends a touch of fresh green to the place can be found here. Opened up end of 2013, the cafe/restaurant offers very inexpensive Italian fare, pasta in the 20 Kuai region is undeniably a pretty good deal these days. While probably less important in the happy summer months, one of the great things about Wonderful Time is that it offers home delivery for free within a range of up to 3km, and for a small fee for anything further afield. As of yet, there is no take-out menu available but the helpful staff promised it would be available soon. Admittedly,  the quality of the dishes has yet to be explored, however, if if the food is only half as good, as it cheap, this should make for a great pasta pit stop. Certainly looks promising!

  • Nanjing International Community Clubhouse

    Based in the British School of Nanjing in the city’s Jiangning district and operated by SinoConnexion Ltd., the Community Clubhouse aims to help with some of the challenges posed by living in, what is for some, a very foreign environment. It combines café, gift shop, library plus a service and activity centre under one convenient umbrella. Still in its soft-opening phrase, but already staffed by expats with considerable China experience and locals with “in-the-know” as it relates to the expat community, it is hoped that the Clubhouse will over time expand to be a focal point for the foreign community.
