Shanghai has good things to offer, some of chinese habits tend to upset me, the way they drive, the wey they're picking their nose, the way they don't respect anyone while waiting in line, the way chinese government put a black screen on my tv when US or French news tell about tiananmen or ouighours. I enjoy being here overall.We have managed to travel around east Asia...Bali Japan, Honk kong...but I am ready to discover a new country for another 2 year period

I really likes it there. Lots of great food, and if you look carefully, there are some really nice things to see there as well, instead of the western chanel/ prada bullshit. Also i made a habit of walking through backalleys a lot, which is like stepping into a completely different world. Same goes for small markets. And a lot of other interesting stuff is only a trainride away, if the buildings/ construction gets too much....

take the bullet train from Shanghai to Suzhou will take only 37 minutes and the ticket is just CNY22 (less than 2quids), you can see the old style of china, also the musuem of suzhou is worth visit too, it's done by mr. i.m.pei
