:: I recently came across some wet paint in Shanghai on Huating Rd. If you know whose work this is, please let me know in the comments section below. I wouldn’t be surprised to see more pieces going up in that area – it’s home to a fair amount of low-profile wall space. For more graffiti in China on NeochaEDGE, link here. // AjS

:: I noticed these protest banners on my way into work this morning. I wonder how long they will stay there. The photos below were taken in Shanghai at the intersection of Middle Huaihai Rd. and Huating Rd. The first one says: 上交响迁建严重扰民破坏和谐, meaning “The relocation of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra to a new building seriously disturbs the people and is destroying (social) harmony.” The second one says: 上交响不要论为破坏历史建筑的罪人, meaning “The Shanghai Symphony Orchestra should not turn into criminals against historical architecture.” Does anyone know why the authors used the word “论为” instead of “沦为,” or is it just an honest typo? I like how protest banners in China are black on white. // AjS

:: I found a great place in Shanghai to get wanton and zongzi. On Huating Rd., very close to the Middle Huaihai Rd. intersection (north side, basically at the entrance way to the old Tang Hui), a new place opened up last week. It’s not really a restaurant, but rather just someone’s home. There are only two proper tables, one of which is in the family’s living room and doubles as a wanton-wrapping station – it’s also where I sat and had my breakfast this morning (see first photo below). The other table is a fold-out that can be setup for outside seating. Great food and Longjing tea (free, of course). Pardon the reddish effect with the photos, I was testing out a new iPhone app called Vint Red. Pretty neat result. // AjS

:: taken in Shanghai at a small shop called Old School on Huating Rd. (#4), very close the Changle Rd. intersection. Original retro toy robots. The smaller ones on the left are RMB 60, the larger ones on the right are RMB 120. If you’ve spotted the View-Master in the bottom photo, link here for more information. // AjS

:: I took this photo in Shanghai at a small shop called Old School on Huating Rd. (#4), very close the Changle Rd. intersection. A retro View-Master – bascially the centerpiece of my childhood. I just read that Fisher Price recently all but eliminated the production of View-Master title discs. Why? 3D is coming back in a big way these days. What a tragedy. The viewer is available at Old School for RMB 60; the shop also has a small collection of title discs available for sale. Bravo, well done. // AjS
