Shanghai Disneyland to kick off construction in November
Wave farewell to the Shanghai World Expo without much sorrow, because our very own Shanghai Disneyland is expected to start construction in November 2010. Overseen by the Shanghai Shendi Shendi Group corporation, the park will be developed alongside many other facilities such as film studios, arts and media areas, a book-publishing hub and other attractions. The Disney madness has only just begun, with Youku, China's largest video hosting site, joining forces with Disney to stream some of the studio's TV shows. So put on your headphones, because a dose of Desperate Housewives isn't the worst way to drown out the construction clang out over Pudong.

How would you like your rat done, sir?
Whenever there is a crisis or a natural calamity, there are the people who lose money and then there are the entrepreneurs.

Rou bing-loving blokes and sheilas seek same
Editor's note: Sorry for getting this up so late in the day. But if you still happen to be stuck behind a computer, there is plenty of time left to show your love for Australia!
Alternative rap? Time to give Guandii a rest
There comes a point in every man’s life when he has to face the facts — that not every (alpha) dog has his day; that haters gon hate; that open bar doesn’t always mean what you think it means. And that all ABCs just looove Guandii. Well, not this ABC. Sure, one could chalk it up to difference in opinion, or taste in hip-hop, or a simple case of sour grapes (not picking up enough ladies, for instance). But let’s not consider all that. Let’s just nip it right in the bud: In order for the hip-hop “scene” in Shanghai to truly thrive, and blossom into the NBT (Next Big Thing) it so richly deserves to be, ABCs — and everyone else, for that matter — need to stop jocking Guandii so hard.

It seems the Australian Broadcasting Corporation follows the tried-and-true inverted pyramid format for writing news stories ... only sometimes they leave out the "inverted" part. Take this story about Xue-Jun Wang, a Sydney Dance Company dancer, for example. He was in Shanghai to perform Mulan, a collaborative project with the Shanghai Song and Dance Ensemble (the show will go on Oct. 18-19 at the Shanghai Oriental Arts Center, by the way). And yesterday, Wang got kicked out of China -- "without explanation," as the ABC puts it.
