Photo by John Biesnecker From John Biesnecker of Mukokuseki:On pretty much every flat surface in Shanghai (and, likely, the rest of China) you can find ads for various (often illegal) services. Some are little stickers, and others are spraypainted. They have a short description of what they offer (fake IDs, prostitutes, movers, etc.) and a cell phone number (easily obtained and disposed of, despite China Mobile’s efforts to the contrary). On the bridge outside......

A 1993 nude photo of Carla Bruni, French President Sarkozy's wife, has been sold at Christie's in NYC for $91,000 to an unnnamed Chinese art collector. A Telegraph article describes the pic:The portrait shows a younger Miss Bruni gazing thoughtfully into the camera with nothing but her crossed hands to cover her modesty.Apparently, the call for a the boycott of French products in China hasn't reached the French First Lady's body.........

Yes, we know there are a lot of websites out there for students of the Chinese language, but have you ever seen one as cute as this? Hanzillion is Ana Campos' mission to: "Learn all the zillion hanzi (chinese characters) by collecting them one by one". Organised by (amongst other things) number of strokes, each character is backed up with an example taken from the screens, streets and signs of Shanghai. We predict a spin-off......

All this month (that would be March), the photography of Hong Kong artist Norm Yip will be on display not on the walls of a fancy-schmancy gallery on Moganshan Road, but on the meandering walls of Shanghai Studio. The photography, in mostly black and white, features fit, mostly East Asian men in various stages of undress, in front of simple backgrounds or stark black backdrops. The pictures do not feature any naughty bits, so Mr.......

... but it's been found to be a photoshopped fake. From Southern Metropolis Daily [Translation by ESWN]: In November 2007, the 12th annual China International Photographic Arts Exposition was held. Ye Weitang's won a golden award in the Social Lives and Customs section.

If anyone happens to be hankering for some nostalgia, m97 Gallery might be a good place to head to this weekend. The gallery will be presenting a double-shot dose of street photography today with the opening of Dutch photographer Robert van der Hilst’s “Shanghai 1990-1993” and American photographer/journalist Howard W. French’s “Disappearing Shanghai”. The observations by two veteran photographers of a rapidly changing Shanghai over ten-plus years should be reason enough to traipse over to......

As Shanghai welcomes Chinese New Year for the first time in decades with a dash of snow, we trawl Flickr for pictures that best capture the essence of this week-long (or to be precise, 15 days' worth of) festive cheer filled with red firecracker sprinklings and endless fireworks. The unexpected snowfall brings along its share of inconveniences - slippery roads, beware! by ?lifemage? Homebound crowds at Shanghai Railway Station trying to get hold of the......

Long story short, the place is a zoo, but what'd you expect. Of course, things are made worse by the weather. Here are some pics from the last few days. From what we've been hearing both in the news and in our apartment elevator, the dastardly weather gods have caused big time cancellations and problems. Despite the crowds of cold people and the massive B.O. from the people waiting inside the subway station, things......

Adam Minter of Shanghai Scrap describes his uneasiness at finding a medicine vending machine on the edge of "the city’s best (if not largest) fake market". Honestly, since Xiangyang was torn down, we're not too sure which other fake market has taken over as "the city's best fake market". This is a really kickass machine, and Adam's got some great close-ups too. Hop on over to his blog for some ‘Cold and flu medication,’ ‘Fever......

This place looks kinda fun!......
