Around Shanghai: No more airplane temperature checks, but we're getting a Wall St. Bull and Linkin Park!

  • Shanghai has decided to stop on-board aircraft passenger temperature checks, to the dismay of budding photographers hoping to document the bizarre hazard suit teams. [Shanghai Daily]
  • Mudwrestling at Martini Bar? Those are two things we thought never would really mix, but it somehow happened. [SmartShanghai]
  • What a load of bull. Shanghai's planning on building a bigger version of Wall St.'s charging bull statue to be placed on the waterfront. It'll mark the tail end of China's Year of the Ox and... we guess, be auspicious somehow. [The Age]
  • Sweeeeet. Skateboarding's totes catching on in our city or something and that's rad, man. [Global Post]
  • You know what's the best way to commemorate the 300 day countdown to the Shanghai World Expo? By opening up an Expo dedicated to Expos, like they did in Beijing. [CRI]
  • We were JUST snarking on Linkin Park last night, and guess what we read this morning? They're set to perform at Shanghai Stadium on August 15. They're totally gonna kick our asses. [Shanghai Daily]

There's a decent bull statue outside the future exchange at pudian and century ave, brutal location though.

The best bull statue by far is in Xujiahui on Nandandong Lu - a bull playing golf with a soccer ball.

when does this copying thing is going to end!? Just because the American's got a bull at lower Manhattan, it doesn't mean we need one as well. And where to put it? By the water-front!? Sooo lame. What could be worse than this... oh, yes, playing Don Fang Hong tune on the clock tower by the Bund.
