| Safe? seemed very safe to my wife and me riding bikes for about 10 months, 25 miles a day (Giant bikes and several good locks). Even when my wife dropped her purse off the back of her bike and a fellow rode like heck to catch her and return it (this was at night). We had zero problems from people but sure do recognize the environmental issues we were consuming (we ate no fish). Any western food we needed we could find at a "City Mart" or Carrefour and for other western things we hit up one of the several Decathlon stores over Pudong side. We loved our stay in SH and miss the local markets, and enjoyable rides all over the city. It was safe and fun with something new and cool to see everyday. Rudeness? Oh well... chalk it up to culture and go with the flow. We highly recommend and miss mushroom soup at the Jade Buddhist temple... yum-goody on a cold day. |
Shanghai not as Safe as Before
