Weekly China News Roundup
Booooo
This year’s winter arrived overnight in China straight after the Halloween. While Shanghai might be freezing, Beijing is literally snowing man-made flakes.
While someone is suggesting to build specialised local museums to preserve China’s historic relics, the Shanghai government is hushing their citizens out of their pyjamas off the streets to welcome the big day of 2010 World Expo. I suddenly had a weird moment of imaging 20 years from now, tour guides leading groups of tourists through special museum featuring wax figures of people wondering in 2009 Shanghai street in their pyjamas.
Further more to this week’s news, Disneyland finally signed off the Shanghai project, the phase one is scheduled to open in 2014 and will be 4 times bigger than the Hong Kong Disneyland covering a land of 150 hectares. Will this be the next big reason for you to visit Shanghai then? You tell me.
