Chinese Buy Mall in Wisconsin

Well, here is a twist! The Chinese have bought a dormant mall in Milwaukee, WI and plan to reopen it as a Chinese megamall:

Coming to Milwaukee: A Chinese mega-mall?

I hope it does better than the world's largest megamall in Dongguan, where it has become a ghost town!!

Subways of Shanghai

A friend from China, and former co-worker with Pennsylvania House Furniture, Steve, sent me a most interesting article about the subways of Shanghai. Seems they are experiencing such high volumes, that they have had to hire "shovers" to push passengers on board.

Check the photo and article here:

All things are crowded in China, but this must even put all things to an extreme. Glad I don't have that commute!
