Q: Looking to check out some live bands while I'm in Xiamen, any suggestions?

Cheers in advance

Bit of a late reply but check out "The White Rabbits" if you can find them playing in Xiamen. Great Psychobilly/Rockabilly band made up of expats that are based there. Saw them in Guangzhou last year and they were a great live band.

Yep...That's about it...And Filipino cover bands. And shitty nightclubs with horrible music.

The bars are ok though!

A:Going to HK would be the best bet I reckon, especially if you were looking for a church wedding. Chinese weddings are pretty grim IMO - you go to a barren govt dept with souless officials and navigate red tape so some guy can give you a red stamp and a marriage book. You get expensive pictures taken of you both posing in places you'd never go to in everyday life that is somehow supposed to represent your wedding, then a while later it's off to a restaurant where a game show host kind of guy makes sure it's as tacky as possible while the guests eat as fast as they can so they can leave as soon as they finish eating and gave you money. Hell, I'd go to Thailand or the Philippines and get married in Paradise. -- Stiggs
