german centre welcomed world expo by building a satellite site at office campus. the lawn was wiped out with a couple of weird shaped pavilions. after a couple of months' construction, the opening ceremony was held on early may. unfortunately, german centre is located far away from world expo site. it is just a vain effort without visitors.

In Pudong District, the cable TV is upgrading to digital, and even further, to HD and interactive TV. The upgrade is mandatory, or otherwise you can watch only 6 channels. The subscribe fee is the same, and each household can get 2 digital set-top boxes for free now. To watch HD TV, you need pay extra CNY50 to get another HD set-top box, and the subscribe fee is CNY35 a month. It is worth every penny. The HD video quality is just as good as the HDMI DVD.

i suggested in one of my linkedin updates that, for all the troubles we've gone through, each every shanghai resident should get a free pass to expo 2010. the wish comes true, sort of. shanghai city government is sending out free expo gift pack to each shanghai household. we receive it this weekend. it includes one expo pass (cny160), one public transport ic card (with cny200 value), and a haibao pin. it's smart move, qualified household is family based on hukou card or shanghai residence permit, and single is not included.
