Shanghai is China's most populous city with 35 million inhabitants. The Huang-Po River runs through the city and it's muddy banks, now canalised, form the east and west Bund. The East bund was the centre for international commerce since the 19th Century and hosts many important Art Deco and Neo-Classical buildings, such as The Shanghai Club and the Peace Hotel, which were largely constructed by the nations with trading concerns in Shanghai - Great Britain, New Zealand, Japan, Australia, USA, Holland, Malaysia, India etc... Today most of these are luxury hotels. Facing them across the river are the impossibly high towers of the new Shanghai, the China World Financial Centre complex and the International Convention Centre on a bend in the river.

Built in 1905, "this architectural explosion, one of the most opulent mansions surviving in New York, was designed by C. P. H. Gilbert." (NY Times)

At the Mexican Consulate in South Miami today members of the Broward Anti-war Coalition and the Bolivarian Youth picketed in support of the Striking workers in Oaxaca, Mexico. A letter and petition was also delivered to the Mexican Consulate denouncing the killings of the striking workers.

 

In response to a state-wide work stoppage in Oaxaca, Mexico, paramilitaries and police linked to state governor Ulises Ruiz have unleashed a bloody massacre. On October 27th, at least four people were killed, with scores wounded in the shooting. Among the dead was Emilio Alonso, a striking teacher, and NYC Indymedia video-journalist Brad Will. Section 22, the teachers’ union in Oaxaca, has suffered fourteen dead during their six-month long strike that launched the state-wide uprising.

 

President Vicente Fox, through his Secretary of Internal Affairs Carlos Abascal, has authorized the entry of the Federal Preventive Police (PFP in its Spanish initials) into Oaxaca. More massacres are feared. The Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca (APPO), the mass alliance of organizations leading the work stoppage, has called for emergency pickets outside Mexican consulates and embassies to denounce the massacres and to prevent new ones. The people of Oaxaca are in desperate need of international solidarity.

 

The consulate was built in 1865 with more than a hundred years of history. It is now the most antique western building preserved in Taiwan, which is listed as the second-class historic spot. It was the western building designed by a British engineer and built by Chinese craftsmen, and it is the most meaningful ancient building of Chinese modern history with graceful and elegant proportion. Semicircle arches are rhythmically arranged in order with considerably rhyming. At the corner, the circle arch is smaller and the wall pillar is bigger, which has reinforced function in dynamics. It is the Baroque typed building of the Renaissance era. It emphasizes on the stylish regular pattern and its hollow pattern railings were built with excellent bricks. Harmonious sense of beauty is shown at every turn. Among the existing western style buildings in Taiwan, it provides an excellent example of technique and style and that possesses the value of historical architecture study and conservation value. The building brick and mortar used all continue using the traditional method of Fukien and Taiwan. Some parts are even filled with clay and soil, while wooden truss is built with complete western style. It is the building that has double function, administrative and residencial function, and its style also lies in between them. It is the portrayal illustration of modern Chinese and Western cultural communication, and also the first formal consulate built by foreigners in Taiwan. The occurrence of consulate opened up the development of western architecture for Taiwan in the future.

That's an observation, not an objection. The Consulate campus is surrounded by CCTV cameras, normal in this universally paranoid age.

 

And if you are interested in Buddhist discussion, thought or meditation, the library is at www.buddhistlibrary.org.au/. You can enter via Parramatta Road and Church Street if you want to avoid Chinese surveillance.

Memorial to the late President of Poland, Lech Kaczynski at the Consulate-General of Poland.

 

“WARSAW — A plane carrying the Polish president and dozens of the country’s top political and military leaders to the site of the Soviet massacre of Polish officers in World War II crashed in western Russia on Saturday, killing everyone on board.

 

President Lech Kaczynski’s plane tried to land in a thick fog, missing the runway and snagging treetops about half a mile from the airport in Smolensk, scattering chunks of flaming fuselage across a bare forest.

 

The crash came as a stunning blow to Poland, wiping out a large portion of the country’s leadership in one fiery explosion. And in a bizarre twist, it happened at the moment that Russia and Poland were beginning to come to terms with the killing of more than 20,000 members of Poland’s elite officer corps in the same place 70 years ago.

 

“It is a damned place,” former President Aleksander Kwasniewski told TVN24. “It sends shivers down my spine.”

 

“This is a wound which will be very difficult to heal,” he said.”

 

Location: Polish Consulate in Woollahra, Sydney, Australia.

The British Ambassador to the United States, Sir Peter Westmacott, made his first official visit to Denver from 2-4 October. The visit helped to strengthen the already extensive connections between the UK and Colorado, where British investment supports almost 14,000 jobs.

 

As well as calling on Governor Hickenlooper and Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, the Ambassador helped promote commercial links with visits to local firms and a gala reception at the Consulate. He also met with local political commentators, spoke to editors at the Denver Post, and took in the first 2012 presidential debate at the University of Denver.
