You will find pictures and statues of this guy everywhere. He was the mascot from the 2010th Shanghai expo.
The expo was a a very big deal. They built a lot of buildings and subways. They introduced a new type of cab. Created a tollfree English helping (962288).
FYI, anyone visiting shanghai would do well to put that number on speeddial. They specialize in giving directions, just tell them where you want to go and hand your phone to the taxi driver.
Yes, and older Chinese gentlemen who want to practice their spoken English will often strike up a 'conversation' about the expo, reciting all of its merits. I just smile and nod.
