An ex New Yorker in Shanghai needs your help. For as little as a cup of coffee, you can Save the Ex-New Yorkers: "The devil doesn't wear Prada, it speaks Chinese, wears badly tailored suits in cheap materials and spits at random although with satanic precision. You're getting this first hand from an ex New Yorker barely surviving on the paltry socio-cultural fare available in much hyped Shanghai. Case in point for what Shanghaiese hipsters consider the highlight of their weekly social and possibly intellectual life: soirees spent doing mystery night quizzes in bars, answering questions in the vein of 'what burns more calories, a real orgasm or a fake one?'... To rescue the many ex New Yorkers languishing away in cultural catatonia, far from the centre of the universe, I suggest introducing a column for usex New Yorkers comment central or some such thing. Also post this link. we can either relieve our NY nostalgia by commenting on whatever is happening in NY or by commenting whatever is not happening wherever we are. Come to think of it, if I organize a ex New Yorkers meeting in shanghai, will I get arrested for holding subversive capitalist roadrunner gatherings or for transgressing SARS prevention rules?"
