@Baltimore

Is this true? Is this the standard way a Chinese city hosts an impotant huge international event? Long holidays, shutting down part of the public transit?

(excerpted from CNN reports)

.....
Shanghai is bedecked in the glory of its gleaming skyscrapers, APEC flags flutter blue, red, green and orange along every main road and security is everywhere.

But the city has ground to a standstill, with schools and businesses given a five-day holiday through Sunday. Subways are shut.

The business district of Pudong, the heart of Shanghai commerce and site of the APEC event, has a touch of the feel of a ghost town Wednesday.

A gusty wind dusts through Pudong's wide avenues, which are half-empty.

    • 这很正常啊,除了商店和银行证券,其他很多公司都放假了,其实好多人都盼着放假呢,一般来说,放假期间商店的营业额猛增,出租车生意也火爆,确实是拉动内需,刺激消费的好办法 :-)) -flying_snow(飞雪浮冰); 2001-10-17 (#227284@0)
      • How about the public transit (the subway?) If you have long holidays, do you usually use it? -baden(Booster); 2001-10-17 (#227299@0)
        • If I have long holidays, I would travel to other city or country, or just sleep at home, or go shopping by taxi, that's it :-)) -flying_snow(飞雪浮冰); 2001-10-17 (#227309@0)
