Are we the the only ones who immediately think of Wee Britain from Arrested Development (more info here) when we watch this CNN piece on British-themed Shanghai housing development "Thames Town"? (Once on the CNN site, you need to click on the link that says "A bit of Britain outside of Shanghai" to watch the video.)

On our way to the gym on Sunday, Shanghaiist spotted two men riding what appeared to be Segway Human Transporters in front of the Xintiandi Starbucks. And we thought, Great, Shanghai needs more motorized vehicles on its already cluttered sidewalks. The men were meandering around, attracting stares from curious onlookers. A couple people approached the Segwayers and they handed out business cards. Could China be the next country Segway slowly rolls into (and fails to generate enough sales to survive)? According to Segway's official site, there are no Segway distributors in Mainland China -- Taiwan is the closest.
