With a mere forty-eight hours before the National Day celebration, we figured we'd throw a little surprise party of our own. Come down to Cotton's tonight and celebrate Shanghaiist's "we-hope-we-also-make-it-to-sixty" happy hour party! We're going to party like it's 1949, kick some traditional Chinese jams, and dance the night away with National Day drinking fervor. And like always, two for one drinks until ten!
From Chinasmack comes this pretty cool absolutely-a-viral video which shows truck drivers from Deppon, a Chinese shipping company, coordinating their horn honks to wish Happy Birthday to China. Yes, most DEFINITELY a viral video.
One of the cutest things we've found in our search for funny National Day things is this homemade music video. Set to the tune of Jackie Chan's "Country (国家)," it features a class of (it seems) 60 year olds and their families singing along, posing around Chinese flags and generally being absolutely psyched about their patriotism.
