Around Shanghai: Pollution art, Turkey Day, and Bar Rouge blows out candles
- A few weeks ago the metro stop at People's Square was turned from a bastion of commercialism into a moving display of environmental art. Check out the large installation, which featured work designed for the China Environmental Protection Foundation, and wish it was there instead of Haibao looming at you. [China Environmental Blog]
- Famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma and longtime pianist partner Kathryn Stott come to Shanghai this week. They will be performing at end of the Shanghai International Arts Festival. Get your tickets now! [City Weekend]
- For Americans, one of the most gluttonous days of the year is coming up next week, a.k.a. it's time to find a turkey! Save yourself the trouble of trying to deep-fry that bird on the street and enjoy the array of options available in Shanghai - from catering companies, to restaurants that offer takeaway dinners, to family dine-in options.

- We're always pushing and shoving on the train... but maybe we should be more careful. Apparently, an appeals court recently ordered a metro passenger to pay 80,000 RMB to a 75 year-old woman he bumped into. [Shanghai Daily]
- Bar Rouge is turning five (gosh, how time flies!) and is celebrating with an entire week of events. The fun begins on Friday, with a disco party, and doesn't stop til next weekend, with BR Genuine and Benny Benassi coming to town. [Smart Shanghai]
