Around Shanghai: The Expo site, seeing the air, and centenarians!
- Prolific Chinese (but English language) blogger Wangjianshuo gives us a second take of the Shanghai Expo site after visiting it with the Australian Pavilion Group. [Wangjianshuo]
- As part of its whole bid to become a "global financial and shipping center," Shanghai's got plans to attract 1000 talented staff from abroad with housing benefits, residency rights, education for children and other perks. [SCMP]
- Curious about what the air looks like in Shanghai? It's not for the light hearted or hypochondriacs amongst us. Scootergrrl shows us what her filters look like after six months on the job. [Scootergrrl]
- GE has now signed on to the USA Pavilion Group's effort to have something more than just a piece of empty land come May 2010. They didn't say how much they were offering, but we doubt it's anywhere close to the 60 million the group still has to raise. [AFP]
- Shanghai now has 836 residents over the age of 100, which means it has roughly six centenarians per 100,000 residents. Neat, but a little worrisome when you think about it in the context of the ever-aging population. [Xinhua]
- Shanghaiist contributor Rebekah Pothaar gives Smart Shanghai the lowdown on her weekends: lots of traveling, fancy brunches and drinking. Sounds good to us. [Smart Shanghai]
