62 year old Guangzhou man is New York City's Sad Panda
China: Nine nations in one?
Electrolist: Berlin 8-bit retroblaster tonight

Thanksgiving turkey conundrum? The solution: Taobao
This is probably as random as it can get, a music video featuring Empire of the Sun (not to be confused with Shanghai-entwined novel of the same name), a new electro pop duo, made up of Luke Steele from The Sleepy Jackson and Nick Littlemore of Pnau, from down under.
Lest you get too distracted by the catchy 80s pop embalmed in shiny over-the-top sci-fi getup, look out for familiar Shanghai landmarks. Also, not to be missed, the minority headdress, Monkey King cudgel, Zhuge Liang fan, foldable bike, turquoise Tibetan beaded necklace and taxi driver gloves. Who knows, white leather shoes may make a comeback next year.
We're sure fans will also be more than pleased to know Dongtai Lu Antique Market should be the place to head to for all of the above articles, other than the foldable bike and taxi driver gloves, which should be well-stocked at your nearest Carrefour.

Adam and the Ants anyone?
This song has been a big hit in Australia this year.
Aaaahh...why didn't they plaaay, though.
Same chord progression as Tom Petty's "Learning to Fly."
Wow! This screams LOW-BUDGET!!! I particularly like the old woman with the bicycle who walks by with the "WTF is that loawai doing" turn of the head.
The opening scene is in Zhenru Temple to the north of Lanxi Road shopping area in Putuo district. It's well nice.
Oh, and big points for using Ballardian.com as a reference ... that's a great site. Also, my friend's are loving my official Wee Ling photo at the blog too :)
