Wanted: A train ticket home

The Spring Festival is fast approaching, and people are lining up to buy train tickets to go home to visit their families during this most important festival in the Chinese calendar. That will mean more pushing, shoving and grumbling at crowded train stations. If only they would play happy music, which had this effect at one train station in Europe.

Ads that go viral

Internet websites such as ChinaSmack.com this month are looking back on the popular advertisements of 2010.

A yoga club in Shanghai became famous when this low-budget ad for Guangyin Yoga Club featured a man inside a box handing out business cards.

Another ad that went viral was this action-packed ad by IBM in China that featured kungfu and even a few Star Wars moves.
