Hey Shanghai,
How U Doin'? How about this beautiful London weather oi?! Okay, is it just me or is there a new epidemic infecting Shanghai taxi driver's ???? It's not tunnel vision or ADD.... but something far more serious: BREATH CANCER!!!
Please do the world some good and Give a mint a day to save us from this terrible, terrible disease!
Okay, enough with the public service announcement... Let's get on with the show! The post NYE lull in nightlife seems to be behind us and once again Shanghai bars and clubs are pulling out all the stops to get you in the door and your ass on the floor! As you probably know, this past week saw the closure of one of Shanghai's best live music venues, 4Live, but what you might not know is that this weekend sees the opening of another live music venue, The Red Beat, on everyone's favourite strip, Tongren Lu! The Red Beat is calling itself a more "upscale" music venue, though, so punk rockers don't get your hopes up! Want more details? Scroll down!

| Joke of the
week |
I dreamt last night that I went to Heaven, and I met St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. I asked him that since I just arrived in Heaven, could I take a look around the place. St. Peter agreed, and even came along with me to show me around. We went a ways, until we met President Clinton, tied to one of the most ugliest beast you could ever, ever imagine. It was nearly human, probably about 95 years old, 5 inch thick glasses, grease just dripping off its body, muttering every now and then like a sick crow. We asked Old Bill why he was chained to this awful creature.
Clinton replied: "Well, when I used to live on Earth, I committed a number of sins, and now I'm chained to this really ugly old thing as penance."
We wished President Clinton the best of luck, and moved on. A while later we met with none other than Elvis Presley, the King of Rock, and he was tied to another of the most ugliest creatures you could imagine, even worse than the first one. We asked Mr. Presley why he was chained to such an ugly thing.
The King replied, "Well, when I used to live on Earth, I committed a number of sins, and now I have to live with this ugly old monster for a while as penance."
We wished the King the best of luck, and moved on. After a while we met up with Billy Gates, president of Microsoft. Billy Gates just so happened to be chained to one of the most gorgeous, luscious, and sexiest woman you could ever imagine, long blonde hair, blue eyes, long limbs, and a beautiful figure. So, we asked him why they were chained to each other like that.
The woman answered first: "When I used to live on Earth, I committed a number of sins..."
