Left: Sabra, a Japanese FHM-style magazine that typically features sexy busty ladies (no nudity) recently conducted a photo shoot in Shanghai featuring Nonama Takizawa (滝沢乃南). Needless to say, it caused quite a stir — and we're not talking about the kind that happens between someone's crotch. Well some Chinese guy got hold of the video, and uploaded it with the most hateful and incendiary speech (too rude to translate here) — and Youku in their wisdom decided to make it the main feature of the day. Great hope yet for Sino-Japanese relations, ladies and gentlemen.
Middle: This is probably the most kickass busker-with-Chinese-characteristics that we've ever seen here. Watch Luotuo Xiangzi (骆驼祥子) attract a huge crowd of curious onlookers on Beijing's main shopping street Wangfujing before being led away by some security guy, and still holding up with his act!
Right: A girl is robbed on the streets of Shenzhen, and passers-by are all running away.

This week in Shanghaiist


Word to the wise and to would-be shining knights in white armor: I remember the good samaritan Millionaire guy who went to the aid of someone getting robbed and he was killed by the robber with a knife. This happened sometime in the last year or so. Makes you think twice about going to someone's aid in this country if they're in trouble. But, at least you could stand and shout and scream or something.
