Shanghai A to B

You know how annoying they are — illegal ads popping up in the wrong bits of the Metro (which, for those ads, is anywhere). That’s right. Illegal ads are making a comeback in the Shanghai Metro. It’s not clean stuff.

The Xinmin Evening News (page A10, August 13, 2009) has it that illegal ads are now all over the rage again on Line 2 trains. For a while, they were gone — and they’re now back again.

Your blogger has seen far more annoying things Beijing, where nary a Line 1 train just a few weeks ago were spared those annoying ads. We sure hope they’re gone ASAP.
