Guangdong Province is mulling a new law that will categorise all jobs into "encouraged", "restricted" and "forbidden" for foreigners in a bid to restrict the employment of foreigners and to ban them from certain jobs.

Attracting celebrities, dignitaries, and mass media coverage, the Opening Ceremonies are a highlight of the Games, showcasing the spirit of Special Olympics and the athlete's achievements through the theme I know I can.

The Shanghai Traffic Bureau has announced that another 100 public bus routes began offering passengers transfer discounts today, on top of the existing 140 discount routes. Public transport card holders will receive a 0.5 yuan discount on their two-yuan fare for air-conditioned buses if they take a second trip on any of the routes involved in the discount scheme within 90 minutes of boarding the first bus. This follows moves in Beijing earlier this year to axe bus rates to encourage the use of public transportation as an environmentally-friendly choice. Public bus tickets now cost between 20 and 80 cents in the capital.

Shanghai Flickr photographer Shanghai Sky[1] just posted an interesting a photo set from the ongoing 2007 Shanghai Auto Show. What makes it interesting? There are almost no cars. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who has ever attended the auto show (there are showgirls everywhere) or to anyone who has viewed Shanghai Sky's photos (the man likes photographing women ... candid street shots mostly, nothing smutty).

Thanks to everyone who came to the Shanghaiist Happy Hour on Saturday! Thanks to ENO (so, the more beer I drink, the more free clothing I get, you say?). Thanks to iiiit! (please put the tacos and hot dogs on your permanent menu). Thanks to MANifesto for making us feel sexy again. And a special thanks to The Shotgun SheRas (the country band's lead singer is from ... Newcastle? And no, not Delaware).

We know you all have been eagerly awaiting the 2006 Shanghai Tourism Festival (site appears to be only in Chinese -- helpful for tourists). Well, it kicks off with a parade tomorrow ... and it seems like traffic downtown will be all sorts of messed up. Here's the rundown:

"The Japanese have the kimono and the Koreans also have their traditional.clothing. But not the Han people, although they represent the largest of China's 56 ethnic groups," said Liu, who actively promotes cuture.

OK, we think we've finally recovered from Friday night. The Shanghaiist launch party at British Bulldog Pub was hot, in almost every definition of the word. We packed the place, forcing the bar to open its rarely used third level. Opening band Xingfu 13 rocked the house in a shortened set (they were delayed by a lack of a stool for their drummer, and couldn't stay longer because they were using a cable needed by the other bands back at Tang Hui -- how indie rock is that?). And the Shanghai Cowboys killed, and confused the handful of regular pub patrons in attendance. Based on some very unscientific drunken polling, everyone had a good time at the party (except for maybe the uncharacteristically frazzled event organizer -- but you'd be frazzled too if you had to deal with ... ah, we're not going to name names). The raffle -- though somewhat unorganized because bar management forced the Shanghaiist crew upstairs at the last minute -- made several prize winners very happy, some eerily so.
