media - Our most reliable news source

RSS-readers are a beauty, even when the editors of the Shanghai Daily do not publish regularly on their blog, when they do, I do not have to miss it.
Today they show they really do everything to get the latest relevant news to us. They describe their tiresome efforts to get a tourist passport, a new initiative by the tourist authorities to make this city more attractive. They gave up after only two attempts:

Quite a frustrating experience, isn’t it? But we think it’s just the price we have to pay as we aim to be foreigners’ most reliable news and information sources about Shanghai and China. Don’t get us wrong tourism authority, these passports are a great idea, but maybe more attention should be paid on coordinating the information about this event to avoid wasting eager travelers’ time.

How long are they in Shanghai, I would ask if a foreigner had written this. They have now ordered one by mail but it did not arrive yet. The questions of course is, are they tomorrow going to report about this chilling adventure. Guess not, since it is even in the most reliable news source the kind of news you do not bring. We wait for the more serious stuff on their weblog,
