    With about 12 hours to go, I'm wondering where I might be able to hang out tonight and watch the Spanish Grand Prix (Formula 1) since my hotel (Westin Bund Center) doesn't have a television channel which will be broadcasting it. Help?

    An old result on the internet said "Big Bamboo" bar (not sure about that as it was posted quite a while ago); anywhere else closer to where I am?


    TIA.

    Not that I know of but Big Bamboo behind the Portman Centre & Plaza 66 (near Jing An Temple metro) will definitely be showing it with sound.

    Your hotel may have it on Channel 5 (in Mandarin) and Star Sports (in English) but be careful on the Star Sports one, as it depends whether you have the Chinese or Singapore channel I think.

    Good luck!

    The ESPN and Star Sports channels aren't showing it in the listings. :( Perhaps TV5, will check if need to; but right now, the plan is to get to the Bamboo (although Im running late already waiting for my buddy who's flying in from PEK today). Thanks for the help!
