The article you link to says that one of the approved Walmarts is under construction in Laoximen (I think their "Laoxinmen" is a typo), which is interesting because I always thought of Luwan District as sort of a black hole. But then, the existing Walmart isn't convenient to public transportation either.

None intended. Wal-mart will open its 4th Shanghai outlet in the Wanda development at 5 corners sometime late 2006 or early 2007. I hope it will provide an alternative to Carrefour.

Was that comment about Walmart ironic?

No more so than to get worked up over benign web postings. Oh, and about the incorrect 'advertorial' assertion - umm, I bought something in the store, so I guess it was I who paid them. In fact, I will support any retailer that opens shops in Shanghai that sell quality products in a pleasant environment staffed by helpful employees. Walmart's coming soon to Wujiaochang (Yangpu District), see you there!

It just seems a little bit vacuous to get so worked up about a clothes shop.

If we like something, we say so. If we don't, we're honest about that as well. I see nothing wrong with that. But I have a feeling Robb likes Zara more for its clientele than its clothing.

I hope Zara paid you well for that advertorial...

Zara in Spain sometimes is looked as "the unoriginal staff", but we have to recognize that is becoming the most famous trademark os Spain... In Milan the outlet is just aside the big and famous brands...

Did the woman who died of bird flu (see comment #1) happen to be wearing any Zara fashions? Just looking for a connection there.... P.S. If I click the author's name at the bottom of the post ("A. Robb Spitzer"), I'm taken to the non-existent page http://www.shanghaiist.com/about/staff.php#shang_robb. Tsk Tsk! ;-)
