Today's Shanghai weather

Today's weather in Shanghai is a little bit hot, but it's OK as it is not hot we feel uncomfortable.

After plum season ended in last weekend, Shanghai has several clear days. And today is the hottest day in this week. However, in the late afternoon, I could feel some breeze to make me cooler.

I really hope all summer days like the days we had in the past week, and last year we only got a few hot days. That was a great Summer.

Shanghai will plan to increase the number of ticket outlets in the city.

Currently there are 189 ticket booking office around the city. But as 2010 World Expo is coming, Shanghai is expected to service more than triple traffic by train. So the rail authority in shanghai decided to open more outlets to the public to buy tickets conveniently.

However the number of tickets sold at Shanghai Railway Station and Shanghai South Railway Station will be reduced by half. But railway ticket booking offices have a service charge of 5 yuan (US$0.73) on every sold ticket.
