We’ve been hearing for years about all the improvements that are coming to the city “for Expo.” And now that we’re only months away from its opening this spring, we are witnessing clean-up and other preparations at breakneck speed.
But still. On Christmas Eve, the Shanghai Daily reported that “communication wires on the city’s utility poles will be cleaned up or removed to improve Shanghai’s looks for the coming World Expo 2010.”
There is, quite simply, a lot of wire coiled in wait out there.
But maybe the same folks who built an extensive subway system here in a decade will be able to unravel this mess. I’ll keep you posted.
