Sad: a Bryde's (pronounced Brooda) whale was found beached this week on Hengsha island. Rescue workers tried for a good two days to rescue the poor thing and return it to the sea, but bad weather conditions made saving the whale impossible. All things considered, the whale was in pretty good health, leading experts to think that it got sick and lost its sense of direction, wandering into the Yangtze delta. Which makes sense: what would a whale want to do in shanghai, anyway? Visit the aquarium? That was an overwhalemingly bad joke.

Today looks like it'd be a perfect day to skip out of work - and not just because it's (somewhat) sunny either. The Shanghai government has expanded its half-price Tuesday campaign to even more locations around the city, making it a great excuse to finally get yourself over to attractions like the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium, Zhujiajiao Ancient Town, the Pearl Tower or the top of the SWFC. The discount was supposed to stop on April 28, but has been extended until July 28 thanks to their extreme popularity. Source: Shanghai Daily
