Hello from Melbourne Australia,

Hello from Melbourne Australia,

Thank-you for your blog, it is very helpful!

I am coming to Shanghai in a week and will be doing an inturnship with a shipping company. I will be paid 1500RMB per month. It seems very little when I compare it to Australian dollars.
I do not need to buy expensive things, just the cost of living, but I am still a little worried.


I will also need to buy some warm clothes in December when it starts to get cold as I cannot take winter clothes with me. Could you please give me an indication of how much clothes cost in Shanghai. Will I be able to buy a winter jacket? I am quite small like Chinese women so I can buy the same clothes that the locals buy. Is it better to go somewhere else in China to buy clothes?


Thank-you again for your help!

Luv Leonie
