上海田子坊弄堂街道 上海是一個有趣的城市. 經過了好幾年之後, 重新回到上海待了兩天. 感覺上, 這個城市又蛻變了很多, 從遠本的五條地鐵, 現再增加到十一條, 還有兩條仍在建. 聽說上海的地鐵總里程, 已經要居全世界數一數二的位置. 想當然, 這都是拜世博會之賜. 有了空閒, 去了一趟田子坊. 喜歡的不是在那裏所賣的所謂的藝術家設計產品. 我喜歡的是弄堂裏, 隨處可見的露天咖啡座. 非常的悠閒, 如果你曾到過上海新天地那樣的石庫門建築而喜歡那樣的感覺, 那麼我強力推薦這個地方是一定要去的....個人評鑑, 遠勝於新天地!!! www.tianzifang.cn/

Shanghai introduced a price insurance scheme for green leafy vegetables last year to help growers, but cabbages were not put on the list.

In old residential areas - known as "dilapidated neighborhoods" - awaiting demolition and where relocation negotiations have reached, stalemate residents can take advantage of a policy loophole. In some relocation projects, the city power and water suppliers stop charging bills against the households but instead seek to recover the costs from relocation managers. Accordingly, free electricity is available in the dilapidated blocks, which often have aged and messy wiring systems. Feng Fang, a 39-year-old domestic helper from Anhui Province, said she lived with her husband in such a rented room in Putuo District for three years. She only moved out last month after her landlord finally agreed on a compensation offer. Feng said the family paid only 500 yuan (US$76) a month for rent, with no charge for power and water. "It...
