Topic 1: The World Cup & the Chinese FootballDespite the Chinese national team failing to qualify, again, the country is crazy about the World Cup. Fans stay up late to watch games, some restless fans even died watching the World Cup. World Cup widows complain that they will be ignored by their husbands during the month-long event. Hardline fans buy sick leave notes online in order to watch the tournament, and some even have resigned simply to follow the matches.
While in Brazil, Chinese soccer reporters were asked by the locals, "what are you doing here if the Chinese national team is not here?"Why the craze?
Topic 2: Shanghai Metro admits special access inadequateThe Shanghai Metro authority has recently admitted that access facilities for people with special requirements are inadequate at older stations.
Accessibility for commuters with special requirements has been in the spotlight this week after 10 commuters were injured on an escalator at People's Square station last Wednesday, after a baby stroller became jammed at the top.
Is there a serious inadequacy?
