Sin and Vice

Sinica: Sin and Vice

This week on Sinica, Jeremy Goldkorn and David Moser turn their attention to vice, in conversation with Robert Foyle Hunwick, a media consultant and editor for BeijingCream.com. We talk about everything naughty that happens here, with special attention to the nightlife scene. Jumping around Southeast Asia, Robert gives a bit of dirt on the many vices of the night elsewhere in Asia.

Suggestions for and feedback on the show are always welcome in our comments section, or by email at sinica@popupchinese.com.

MDMA is actually related to amphetamine, not LSD. This makes more sense if you expand its name, Methyldioxymethamphetamine. The other amphetamines just bind more to Dopamine, which produces a stimulant effect, while MDMA binds more to serotonin and produces a serotonin overload, producing the classic effects associated with the drug.
