I knew Xiangyang (Shanghai's main fake market for residents and visitors alike) had some hot deals... but I didn't know they were that hot. There's a lotta smoke coming from the Huaihai Lu/Xiangyang area... right smack dab where the market is. Hmmm. Pics taken at lunch today from my office... apologies for the crappy quality, as I took them with my phone.
Update: According to Shanghaiist, it looks like it was just a bad A/C unit somewhere. Looks like tourists can safely continue to get their knockoff stuff, get ripped off, and accosted by the "bag? watch? DVD?" crowd as usual... At least it gave us something else to do other than catch up on news/blogs/WoW during the lunch hour. =P
