Obama in China: 6 things the president should do Obama in China: 6 things the president should do

U.S. President Barack Obama is making a swing through China. We've got his itinerary planned

By Abby Lavin 16 November, 2009

Barack Obama has landed in China. Before you get in that stretch limo Mr. President, take a look at what we've got planned for your swing through China.

We know, Mr. Obama, you're officially visiting China for a tete-a-tete with Hu Jintao on topics ranging from combating global warming to regional security. But, Mr. Obama, in China we also know you've got to have time for recreation built into your itinerary.

SoPhoto ops at the Great Wall and Summer Palace are for the tourist masses. Barry, if you're reading this, give us a call, we'll gladly escort you to some activities your conventional schedule planner has conveniently missed, and maybe even pick you up your own ObaMao T-shirt along the way.

Your crabs are so ... hairy.

1. Chow down on hairy crabs

Commander in Chief, we've got good news: your visit coincides with Shanghai's hairy crab season. Best to go straight to the source for these succulent suckers -- Yangcheng Lake, just outside of Suzhou in Jiangsu province. By November, the crowds at Yangcheng will have thinned out and you can gorge on this local delicacy in peace, with a waterfront view. (Xingchen Xiezhuang Restaurant 星辰蟹庄 Yingbin Rd. West, At the Crab Waterfront Pavilion, Yangcheng Lake 阳澄湖, 迎宾西路，上蟹航苑新区 Tel. +13706264210)

2. Visit Shenzhen, city of brotherly love

A longtime resident of Shenzhen, Guangdong province, entrepreneur Mark Ndesandjo is the founder of Cabin BBQ, a chain that now has seven branches around China. Oh, yeah, Ndesandjo is also your half-brother! Isn't the opportunity to break bread -- or pulled pork -- with family reason enough to venture down to Shenzhen?

Shanghai’s Xujiahui park.

3. Shoot hoops in Yao Ming’s backyard

We know you've been an avid basketball player since your days on your high school varsity team. That's why we're sure you'll enjoy a pickup game with the neighborhood ballers who can be found perfecting their lay-ups in Shanghai’s Xujiahui park seven days a week.

Blockberry and 'pitchman' Obama.

4. Pay a visit to the Blockberry Factory

You've admitted that you suffer from a BlackBerry addiction, but we bet you never imagined you'd become the unwitting spokesman for the “Blockberry,” a Blackberry knockoff from Chinese brand HAFF-COMM. Last summer, ads began cropping up showing a dignified-looking you standing alongside the “Blockberry Hurricane 9500.” (Slogan: "Obama has BlackBerry, I have Blockberry.”) Naturally, you'll want to visit the HAFF-COMM headquarters to get a firsthand look at the product you're endorsing. This might require some sleuthing: HAFF-COMM appears to be a ficticious brand, and the actual Blockberry factory is rumored to be located in Shenzhen, Shanghai or Nantong. Or somewhere. Just text us Mr. Obama -- we'll help you look!

Barack and Michelle Obama.

5. Bring home gifts for the wife

What do you get for the woman who has it all? Well, when that woman is style icon Michelle Obama, a k a, your one and only, the chic boutiques of Beijing and Shanghai are great places to find unique additions to her wardrobe. Since no man knows how to shop for his wife, here are a few hints: Michelle favors sophisticated, bold designs from the likes of Jason Wu, Thakoon and Narciso Rodriguez. She'd look glam in Hong Kong designer Joyce Ma’s cutting-edge pieces. We can also see her rocking the clean, mature designs found in Beijing-based Jen Qin’s Kyoozi collection.
