The Shanghai Talk bonus trivia question was: what Sherpa’s restaurant partner’s name has the word for “love” in it?, the answer was: “That’s Amore”. The draw happened and.. Mazal tov Sonja! Your 2 night stay at Naked Retreats’ tree top villas in Moganshan has Amore written all over it. You can see how dissapointed Sherpa’s employees are that we can’t use these freebies ourselves by checking out: http://www.nakedretreats.cn/naked-stables-private-reserve/accommodation/tree-top-villas/ Have a great time Sonja! Be sure to check back here and on our Facebook page for more fun ways to win cool stuff!

Yesterday was the day we celebrated India’s constitution coming into force. They had one of the most stunning and colourful parades you’ll ever see, there are some really cool pictures at http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/gallery/2012/jan/26/republic-day-of-india-in-pictures#/?picture=385057734&index=0
It would just make sense to drink India’s own Kingfisher beer now, it’s our beer of the month for just a few more days. 86RMB for a six pack or save 20RMB when you get 12 bottles for 152RMB. It goes great with any spicy food, not just Indian food. Cheers!

One voucher worth 5,300 RMB for a 2 night stay in Moganshan’s stunning naked retreats is going to a person who really likes goats! We asked what the difference was between goats and sheep and you all came through with some really interesting, creative and sometimes disturbing answers! Good on you! Goats4Eva, you’ll be contacted by email soon and we’ll send you your voucher, enjoy yourself and feel free to let us know how it was.. I’m actually kind of jealous you can see why if you check out http://www.nakedretreats.cn/naked-stables-private-reserve/accommodation/tree-top-villas/ .
Here’s your winning entry:
A sheep is just part of a crowd of baa-ing, fluffy cowards: a docile follower, enslaved to man and herded by dogs
The goat, with his jaunty beard (or goatee, as it were) and devil-may-care attitude, is truly free: living under a bridge, chewing on some tin cans, giving his foes a swift kick with his mighty hind leg. Plus he makes the tastiest cheese. Viva la goat!
I don’t think we’ve seen the last of this goat/sheep rivalry.. There will be more contests involving useless questions and awesome prizes.. This much I promise you!

Just a reminder, our hours will be a little different during the Chinese New Year holiday, our couriers will also be slower as we’ll be short staffed. On Sunday, January 22nd, we’ll be closing up shop at 14:00. From January 23rd until the 28th, we’ll only be accepting orders within a 15 or 20RMB delivery fee and a lot of restaurants will be closed or close early. We wish you all a great, safe and happy holiday!

Everyone who orders on Monday will get a voucher for a free dental exam and x ray from DII Dental. We wrote in a previous blog post as well as in our newsletter that it’s worth 700RMB, sorry, that’s incorrect. It’s actually worth 440RMB. It’s still one of our biggest free gifts ever, enjoy!

We’re really sorry, there was a mistake in one of the coupons in the newsletter. It says that you can get a free calamari from Aniseed in Xintiandi, you can get it for free but you need to order any other item from the menu in order to get the freebie. Sorry about that one.
