| Hi Jian Shuo...I wrote a while back asking about good areas of Shanghai to live in (affordable yet not old and rundown apartments). My friends have just moved over to Shanghai now (we are coming in April), and have been having a hard time finding a place to rent. Their budget is around RMB3500 a month, and they would like a newer place, near the subway line, not too far out... furnished simply and not old or rundown. They cant find anything good for under 5000RMB. It doesnt have to be fancy, just clean and newer. Can you help? Any suggestions how to find a place that is good?? Oh, on another note...they were just in a restaurant having dinner and someone stole their wallet, with all their money, passports and credit cards...this is awful for them....what an introduction to Shanghai. I have to admit, it makes me a bit nervous of moving over from Taipei, where things like this never happen! Sorry, but im so sad for them right now..please help if you can :) xyzah |
