Calling out to all you London readers of Shanghaiist! If the Trans-Siberian seems a little too Express, your carbon footprint keeps you awake at night, or you're just ready for a new adventure, then a new company is offering the unique chance to go from London to China by bus.

What have we, what have we, what have we done to deserve this?

Batman Begins has already begun for most of the world -- including Hong Kong and Taiwan -- and, actually, it's already arrived in Shanghai, too (thanks to some guy with a camcorder). But you may want to hold off on watching your pirated DVD just yet, because the movie of the summer is actually going to open in Mainland China this summer. In just six days to be exact. Batman Begins opens in Shanghai on June 29. Yes, it's a full two weeks later than most of our friends beyond our borders -- but it is two weeks earlier than much of Scandanavia and Eastern Europe. Ha! Take that Romania, Czech Republic, Hungary, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. And poor Ukraine has to wait until August 4.
