Adam Minter's had quite a week. First he ran into one of the most honestly named Shanghai restaurants we've ever seen pictures of: Hong Kong Gimmick. [Shanghai Scrap]
And then he had a run in with one of those cat snatcher people. Luckily, before the man could get in Adam's face about taking a picture, bystanders reminded him that Adam was a "laowai." [Shanghai Scrap]
Guess what's being imported over to Shanghai? GM's subscription-based everything service, Onstar, which will be featured in its Buicks, Cadillacs and Chevrolet vehicles. [Reuters]
The free bike program in Minhang was apparently so popular that they'll be increasing supply. Over 10,000 commuters have applied for the service, which lets you rent a bike between branches. [Shanghai Daily]
