Japanese TV report about Shanghai’s preparations for 2010 expo
November 17th, 2009 by James
A Japanese TV news report takes a look at how Shanghai is preparing for the big 2010 expo:
The report isn’t exactly positive. Here are some of the main points covered:
- Work is progressing on the
giant red copy of the Tokyo Big SightChina Pavilion. (The Japan Pavilion will look like an ugly pink dome.) - As work on massive infrastructure construction projects progresses, some older-looking buildings are being covered up with fake facades.
- Shanghai is trying to convince its residents that wearing pajamas in public is not polite.
- Some stores are selling ridiculously expensive gold medals to commemorate the expo. Street merchants are selling illegal knock-offs of official expo merchandise.

I sometimes see people shopping in pajamas at combinis around my place. It happens in Tokyo.
Of course, I live in Ikebukuro, so there’s a good chance they’re actually Chinese people doing as theywould do at home…

I sometimes see people shopping in pajamas at combinis around my place too. However, they seem to be often called “yankee”, so I suspect they’re actually Americans… I’m not confident though.
