Hello everybody, let's get back to the 10 love & hate things:

I have arrived this Wednesday and here's my top 10

I LOVE SHANGHAI for
- Enormous opportunity for my new business
- Absolutely fabulous & nice people
- Most interesting history
- Delicious hairy crabs, chili chicken, spinach & garlic & dumplings etc etc etc
- Beautiful park next to famous small dumpling restaurant
- Beautiful surrounding ( I want to go to Suzhou to admire the flowers)
- Modern Art (I haven't seen any yet, but I am keen)
- Fun city (rules for taxi driving, toilet maps, receipt with scratchies etc etc)
- Allowing my family to live an interesting period of our lives and learn Putonghua
- So many more things to discover that I will love

I DON'T HATE SHANGHAI but I dislike
- Begging mothers/fathers/kids
- Too much Louis Vuitton & friends
- Expensive residential housing
- 24 hours unmotivated tooting of horns
- Small taxi cabs
- Expensive intl. calls
- That I lost my mobile phone yesterday xdaII in the New World area
- Arrogant people
- Traffic jams
- Too many People on low income / low education jobs


I hope I did not offend anybody and if please accept my apologies and forgive my ignorance.

Thanks a lot for reading and let's focus on good things and how to make things better.
