2011 Shanghai Book Fair

without comments

Last year, I went to the Shanghai Book Fair. This year’s book fair has opened today in the same place, and will last for a week to Aug. 23.

In my own opinion, the exhibition isn’t worth a visit. It is chaotic at the site and very crowded.

What attracted me most while browsing today’s schedule is that there is a book signing by Mark Obama, brother of President Barack Obama. The book name is <Nairobi to Shenzhen>. We Chinese people knew Mark Obama after Barack Obama was elected as the President in 2008, and know more when Barack visited China in 2009, because that Mark Obama is living in Shenzhen, China.

As it is more and more convenient and cheap to buy books online, is such book fair still necessary? Or is it just a way to promote book sale?

Showgirl in ChinaJoy may Wear More

with one comment

Shanghai 2011 ChinaJoy opened today as usual. Showgirl in ChinaJoy is always a hot topic during the game show. Not like ChinaJoy before, information from the ChinaJoy committee shows that the clothing styles for showgirls will be strictly limited this year. Showgirl in the ChinaJoy may wear more clothes afterward. Will such regulation decrease its attraction?

Update after the close of 2011 ChinaJoy on August 1: 2011 ChinaJoy became the second hottest topic in Sina Weibo during the past several days.  Beautiful showgirls  catch most eyes and still wear little and keep sexy. The rule is just a rule and does not effect in the show.
