Extra! Extra! Shanghai's space park, the World Expo and D-cups

• In Shenzhen, 2,000 people commit suicide each year. Anyone know Shanghai's number?
• Hey, look! Beijing has a "SoHo", too.
• Remember when organizers of the 2010 World Expo said they expected the event to earn a profit? No? Good, because now they don't even think it will break even. Wonder what the thousands of people being relocated for the project think about that.
• "China's answer to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida" is slated to be built in Minhang District's Pujiang Town. It is expected to cover 100 hectares and cost 2.2 billion yuan (US$272 million). Planners say it will be more "exciting and interesting" than the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum. No word on how many Pujiangese will be displaced by this project or whether they will be made honorary astronauts.
• China to choose Frenchman to head its Olympic soccer team. The story fails to mention that no one cares about Olympic soccer. (Or at least that is what one Scottish guy just told us.)
• This story wonders why China, "despite drawing on a population five times larger than the United States'," fails to attract much of a movie-going audience. Hmmmm. Could it be because most Chinese are really poor?
• The answer to China's growing taste for cheese? Buffalo milk.
• People like blogs.
• If your toilet was made in Shanghai, there is a 13 percent chance that it is a piece of shit.
• If you were an 80-something-year-old grandparent, would you want to be told that your teenage grandson was murdered and found floating in a suitcase in New Zealand?
• A former student of ours recently bragged to us about shagging a slim Chinese girl who happened to have natural D-cup breasts. We were skeptical. But after reading this story maybe we should believe him.
• Unrelated to anything, but we just called Element Fresh and they told us it would take 1.5 hours for them to deliver a salad to our apartment. Ridiculous. We hung up and ordered from iiiit! UPDATE: Our stuff arrived in less than 20 minutes.
• Some thin-skinned Chinese are turning their backs on blogging.
• Don't want to join the People's Liberation Army? Get a "fashionable tattoo" or start snoring.
• If you allow your elderly mother to wait in line for you every morning just so you can sleep in and get a seat on the air-conditioned bus that takes you to the office, you should be ashamed.
• People are still talking about the Hu-Bush meeting: ESWN has a good rundown, Danwei handles the heckler, Imagethief covers the arm yank, and AsiaPundit deals with Cheney's nap.
• This just in from a Shanghaiist reader: "taxi drivers everywhere are saying that may will be the month of the 1 kuai taxi fare hike." Thanks, Anthony!
