Simply Shanghai: Life around the streets
A lot of time when you think about Shanghai, you expect things to all be modern and new. My last post on Pudong goes to show how far China has come in the last twenty-five years.

You probably woke up this morning to realize the Internet is totally screwy.
Is it the online apocalypse? Not so much. Google, Wikipedia, Boing Boing and others have gone dark, along with thousands of others, who are protesting two anti-piracy bills that are up for debate in the U.S. Congress.

Author’s note: In my last post on Pudong, I mentioned that the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel needed an entire post in itself. As promised, here it is! Hope you enjoy a trip through Chinese Disneyland!
There are several ways to reach Pudong from the Bund. You can take a long taxi ride, swerving in and out through intense Shanghai traffic. If you want the more scenic route you can take a ferry across the Huangpu river.

Body parts found in Hollywood hills identified
The Los Angeles County coroner’s office has identified the man whose severed head, hands and feet were found in the Hollywood hills this week, but his name isn’t being released, Deputy Chief Coroner Ed Winter said.
The body parts were found Tuesday, when two people noticed their dogs dragging a plastic grocery bag with the head inside from a bush near a dirt trail, police said.
