Slow Off the Press: News You Might Have Missed

Hold off on that work week and check out some news and other stories that you might missed the past week. From kids with condoms to renting transportation by the hour, there's something that you haven't heard here.

Condoms have become the newest, popular cellphone accessory, especially among students. Head to Taobao for a fun assortment guaranteed to fit any age with designs from Hello Kitty to Playboy.

Public bicycle rental is coming back. After numerous failed attempts will this time around be any different?

If renting a bike doesn’t work, try borrowing a car. A new carsharing service – for short, hourly rentals – has begun in Beijing. Rent on a whim using the rental app and then drive and go.

China has recently been opening a string of spy schools, and with the current lack of “an exact screen process” now’s your chance.

Looks like other spy schools are doing well. A Chinese minister recently resigned after his mistress turned out to be a spy. Apparently she missed the class on not being discovered.

Beijing’s newest old site is set to reopen. Reconstruction work on the main part of 640-year-old Jinshansi in Haidian District is finished, and it will be open to the public around October.
