The Diaoyu islands have a long history as part of China's territory(领土), belonging to the country since ancient times. They are located(位于) to the northeast of China's Taiwan Island, The total landmass of these islands (总面积) is about 5.69 square kilometers.
Since the Japanese government “bought” the Diaoyu Islands, the tension (紧张)between China and Japan about the islands has gone up. Several major Shanghai travel agencies have decided to stop organizing tours to Japan and advised Japan-bound (前往日本的) tourists to make other plans, becauese of the Diaoyu Islands issue(争端).
The Shanghai China CYTS Outbound Travel Service Co. Ltd. (上海中青旅出境旅游服务有限公司)stopped the tour to Japan and will gradually stop receiving tourist bookings(预订) to Japan after the National Day holiday, according to Liu Xin, the company’s manager.

Last year, more than 100,000 tourists from Shanghai went to Japan on organized tours. That made Japan the second most popular tour place for travelers from the city, only after Thailand.

Anyone can buy the advertising space , from businesses to individuals or groups, on a day-to-day basis, through the pair’s website, buymyface .co. uk. The logo (标识) is then seen by people as they go about their daily business. The pair sold their first face ads to friends and family for just £ 1 a day, but as need has increased, so has the daily price , which has reached an amazing £400 by now, the end of May. So far , the main customers have been Paddy Power , the online betting agency ( 网络博彩企业), and accountancy firm ( 会计事务所)Earnest & Young , which is now the website ‘s official sponsor ( 赞助商).
Moyse and Harper said , “ It’s our special way of paying off our student debts. We’ve seen so many students unsuccessfully applying for jobs , only to find one that they never really wanted. It’s just something a bit different and has taken off quite nicely.” ( 236 words)
