Spring is finally here and with it comes the urge to watch greenery grow. What better time than now to check out some of Shanghai's best Bird & Flower markets? We've checked out several around Shanghai that are relatively easy to get to from city center - greenify your life today!
Shanghai Bird and Flower Markets: Changhua
Creative art space The Nut shutting down, area being demolished
What a shame! The Nut, the art warehouse loft that so generously helped us host our Halloween party this year, will soon be no more. But it's not the only thing on its block to go - apparently the entire 1147 Kangding Lu converted factory space, of which it was a part of, is set to be demolished and turned into... well, something that's not quite as artsy.
Pencil This In: Job Fair, Punchline Comedy, and Anniversary Celebrations
It's gonna be a good week, Shanghai. Whether you're an unemployed soul, an MBA student or a corporate drone, there's something for you to check out. And everyone can get in on the anniversary celebrations, whether your interests are professional (BEAN) or favored more towards debauchery (Antidote).

Since we mentioned the area back in September, the alleyway of bars around 528 Kangding Lu have found their feet, and the distinct Belgian / Spanish and Serbian flavour of each place in the neighbourhood is like a Whistle Stop tour of Europe. With booze.
