  • 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]
