Topic 1-Public parking spaces made private
 
Having your own apartment and driving to work is a sweet dream for many Chinese urban dwellers 1. However, in reality, many of us live in an apartment without our own parking space in the residential 2 community. What makes a headache is your neighbor installs private locks in public parking areas, or even worse, in public recreational spaces. What can we do to solve that problem?
 
Topic 2-Customer angry at being constantly asked about Starbucks coffee cup size
