Forty things that make Shanghai tick. By SH staff.

1. Lawson’s

http://www.atomicskate.com/wp-content/uploads/Image/shanghai/couldnt-live/01.lawson.pngIt’s 4.30am, and the streets lie dormant, trash blowing by like tumbleweed in the early morning breeze. You stumble into Lawson’s – open all the time – and a lifeline of packaged conveniences is spread before you in blinding fluorescence. There are treats on a stick that bob in murky water, cigarettes and Gatorade, peanuts, yogurt and beer… It starts to drizzle so you buy yourself an umbrella on the way out, and head on home with your precious late-night supplies.

I was pretty enthusiast learning such kind of news, moreover with the following lineup:

- 新裤子 (New Pants)
- 重塑雕像的权利 (Re-tros)
- Joyside
- 扩音器 (Loudspeaker)
- 水晶蝶 (Crystal Butterfly)
and 30 more Chinese rock bands!

I was eager to watch that!

But, the first day, reaching Dino Beach, we’ve experienced our first unpleasant surprise of the night…
