Even though a lot of people complain that China (and Shanghai in particular) is becoming the 52nd State, it’s refreshing to see that some products are still definitely not being marketed to foreigners… 即使有很多人在抱怨中国（特别是上海）正在变成第52个州，可是从有些商品还是可以看出，那一定并不是针对老外市场的… The title may have been translated, but I wonder whether the experience will translate well for a Western audience… 标题可能已经被翻译了，但是我不知道这种经历对于一个西方的读者是不是翻译地够好…
So on our way to eat at a Japanese teppanyaki restaurant, we came across this advertisement for a male escort service in Shanghai.

Ever since websites became a ‘must-have’ for companies, all of the easy to remember website addresses have disappeared, just to be replaced with weird letter combinations and buzz-words. 我真得很讨厌记不住网址的时候。现在网站已经变成公司必须有的一个部分了，所有好记的网址都没了，被代替的是一些奇怪的词和流行的行话。 Take the other day for example…I was walking down the street when I saw a [...]
