Win Free VIP tickets to see Björk!
Just like you, we can't freaking wait to see Björk live in concert on March 2nd in Shanghai. To celebrate, we're giving two lucky winners in Shanghai two FREE VIP or floor-seat tickets. We'll select a winner in BJ and SH. So there are two shots at winning, if you catch our drift. That is, try exploiting the "Change City" function in the upper left hand corner of your screen. One CW user in Beijing and Shanghai will each receive a pair of sweet tickets to this amazing show.
Whoa! Congratulations to mansizerooster83! Emma was impressed by his answer and he's getting a pair of free VIP tickets to see Bjork live in concert this Sunday, March 2 here in Shanghai.
City Weekend is always excited to offer exclusive tickets to Emma's concerts. And we've got many more on the way. For those of you still hungry for free stuff, we're giving away a pair to see Harry Connick Jr. and Major League Baseball's Padres vs. Dodgers Exhibition Game in the near future. We hold this competitions to reward our biggest fans, you. Yeah, that's cheesy, but hey it's true. Hope you'll help CW fight the good fight. Spread the word! "It's your site, use it often".

Bijork, passinate, cold, mysterious, weak, strong, creative, beautiful, insane, clean, clear, dark, warm, pale, bloody, unique, ...i can find so much in her music....i have to meet her for real!

.. to get more and more wacko idea by using her 'one of a kind' intelligent and create astonishing 'PliCo' (dumPLIng COstume)
-
-
to investigate how Iceland came become a harmonious society like China.
-

to act as Reykjavik's secret emissary for high-level meetings with Shanghai government officials in order to secure a central, prime location for Iceland's pavilion (preferably with its own Maglev station) during the 2010 Expo.
-

to check out new locations to open yet another "art deco Philippe Starck" inspired restaurant cum bar. You will see different costumes that she wore in glass cases, especially the famous swan dress (Ellen wore it, and u can have it tailormade at the Fabric market). The place will have the food with recipes stolen from the now closed Aurora Dining Bar. Maybe then food from this region will establish itself in Shanghai.

Add your two cents and join (in) the discussionAs the son of a Viking family, I am drawn by a primal urge to see this magnificent Icelandic women. Her voice makes me quiver and I begin to loose my ability to discern right from wrong, left from right. Since moving to Shanghai, I've not had this sort of pleasure. I know that maybe I should resist, but can I? Hell no. If I can't get a tkt from you folks... I'm not sure what I'll do, but Vikings have been known to pillage in the past. Are you sure that you want to test me?

probably is.. to have a FREE tour holiday in SHANGHAI without paying from her own pocket, but from the pocket of her fans XD
-
-
... to find out which of Icelandic or Chinese people can have the whitest skin. Check this site out
-
-
...to see what it is like being amongst people with crazier English names than her.
-
-
for lady´s night at Zapatas.
-
-
that she is in love with one of city weekend's writer eh eh... lucky us!
-
-
....to see what this snowstorm nonsense is all about.
-
-
... to learn Shaolin Kung Fu, so the next time the paparazzi get too close, they won't even know what hit them.
-

..to return back home!!!, cause once she said: "When I was growing up, I always had the feeling I was dropped from somewhere else. That's how I was treated at school in Iceland where the kids used to call me "china girl" and everybody thought I was unusual because I looked Chinese. And most people in Iceland didn't like what me and my mates were doing. It took the English to discover it” source : The Guardian, 13 February 2006 http://arts.guardian.co.uk/features/story/0,,1708479,00.html And I believe its so, cause I have been in Iceland Reykjavik, and nobody else looks like her, check this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RJoOtHSlK8 SO welcome home Bjork!

because she can get more publicity in a day than Paris Hilton did a week. Between the music, comments and wardrobe, we are sure to be entertained!

Bjork...the icelandic Hypernymph taking a bath...the VIDEO:

to give this city a spectacle exceeding the aesthetically absurd yet awkwardly eniticing sight that is the Pearl Tower.
-
-
...to scope out the pageantry of Jingju (Beijing Opera) because no where else can teach her more regarding the art of raiment and cosmetics.
-
-
to show Jay Chou that mainland China really does know more about music than he suggests. And to show that that knowledge reaches beyond the sad, shameless pop music that seems to permeate every part of the media and fashion industry here.
-
-
to slake her fancy for the little man in this pocket, no?
-
-
to find herself thinking exactly the same: why did i come to china?
-
-
When you go to Iceland... shes on the money.... like the Queen....
-
-
to drink a litre of bai jiu on Friday (as oppose to her normal litre of vodka)
-
-
the real reason she is coming to china is...
Yao Ming challenged Bjork to a game of Yi - on - Yi in Xuhui park where he is consistently beaten by gangs of 17yr old AZN homies. Hopefully Yao can score a few points before Bjork get's on stilts and mops the court with the lanky player. Although Bjork is an avid sports fan and takes pleasure in ripping apart media whores, her real passion lies in chicken feet, dried pigs face, cat sticks, rat meat, dog head and various parts of disembodied animals. It's a no brainer that she is here to tear shit up. Tear, shit up and turn this place inside out.

Sure, Bjork's fans are excited to see her upcoming Shanghai concert, but we all know the real reason she's coming to China is to press forward in her bid to be adopted as mascot of the summer games at Reykjavik, 2020. Having caught a strain of of "Olympic Fever" during her time in the world spotlight at Athens, 2004 (as the key performer during the opening ceremonies -- your dad may have told you about it if you missed it yourself), the singer seems intent on pushing her personal boundaries -- as well as, it might be said, those of the Olympic Committee, who have never before adopted a pre-existing celebrity as the mascot for The Games. Her 2005 trip to Italy (then in preparations to host The Winter Olympics a few months later) having failed to light a fire under her campaign, Bjork identified the problem as stemming from her not having told anyone she would be in Italy, nor anything of her motives in going there. This concert (aka Shanghai, 2008) reflects radical new changes in the approach Bjork is taking as she gets serious about making her own personal "Olympic dream" come true. It also heralds the beginning of a campaign that will take her, at regular two-year intervals, to various Olympic-host countries around the world, each to be a site of a concert or other media event "shadowing" the Olympics.
Icelandic tabloids -- which have had a field day riffing on Bjork's conspicuous inability to come to terms with the imminent Armageddon of 2012 -- have been awash with speculation as to the nature of her relationship with current Olympic mascots 晶晶 ("Jingjing") and “欢欢” ("Huanhuan"), members of "福娃", aka "Fuwa", aka "the mascots formerly known as 'The Friendlies.' Significant cash rewards have been offered for anyone able to provide photographic proof of the artist engaged in improper activity with any of the Fuwa, but so far this has resulted only in a wave of patently- photoshopped submissions (and a few fan fiction websites, but that is neither here nor there), with no payouts to date.
It is known that the Fuwa and Bjork do maintain a professional relationship, with Bjork also in China this week to voice what might become a recurring part in the Fuwa cartoon series, as "herself" -- though Bjork has spoken in interviews of her intent to treat the role as a sort of homage to the "self" that Don Knotts created for the Scooby Doo cartoons (which found worldwide syndication as early as 1975). In a quid-pro-quo move generally thought to have paved the way for Bjork's taking part in the Fuwa series, it has been announced that visual artist Matthew Barney -- known better to some as the father of Bjork's child -- will add another installment to his previously-announced-as-concluded film series "The Cremaster Cycle", and that star billing would be given to all of the Fuwa except the notoriously difficult-to-work-with "Beibei" (under the pretext that she'd had a prior commitment).
Still, no matter what the motives involved, the upshot for the aesthetically-refined consumer in China is that there is a heck of a good concert going down this weekend, and here's hoping to see you all there!

...to tell Chinese people not to let Taiwan declare independence to them, obviously!
Otherwise she just wants to find me and kick my butt for not updating my Bjork's fan page since 1999... Which btw was one of the first ones on the net, all the way back in 1995 ;)

because she hopes that in China her heart might find what it's looking for.
Isn't that why we all do what we do?
I think baiba, you deserve the tickets. Batcatcher I think you love (a little too much maybe?) to know what people say about other people (this is for you).
-
-
Well, Mark David Elliot, I am amused by your conceit that you even understood what I was on about. As for baiba, yes, as deserving as anyone, but that Bjork has been to China before -- she played The Worker's Stadium in Beijing, at which point she was given a confused reception by locals, who actually thought she was a heavily made-up Chinese gal.
Fun (and true) fact there.
Note: Bjork was not a member of the band "Wham!" who played "Gongti" in 1984.
PS This is a test. Happy 8:08

If there is still time for a reformat (same words as before):

I like user scsassy's, if I might say so. Short and sweet -- ouch... if puns could kill, eh?
Still, I prefer 冰糖 (aka "rock sugar") with my Juhuacha -- mostly 'coz I don't go out of my way to get stared at by gratuitously bucking tradition. Oh, and rock sugar is yummy! Still: your answer is cute, for sure. ;-)
So what's up? Did casperxx win? =)
