This week, escape the Shanghai rainstorms by exploring Norwegian electro funk, learning about traditional Chinese medicine, or trying to score some free booze by playing pool and beer pong. Just don't forget to stop by the Shanghaiist Happy Hour on Tuesday, when we pay our tribute to the late John Hughes.

Alright, alright...we know "Ultimate" isn't the best name for a sport. Especially one that was invented by hippie stoners. So yeah, we do get a lot of flak for what it's called--one of our friends even insists on calling it "just OK frisbee". But Ultimate is actually one of the fastest growing sports in the world, and China is no exception to that rule. Hong Kong and Shanghai have held annual tournaments for years now, but since the first National tournament was held in Beijing two years ago, local-run tournaments have been popping up in Kunming, Tianjin, and Ningbo.
