There are not enough coffee shops and decent restaurants

There are not enough coffee shops and decent restaurants because all of Shanghai's resources are going towards opening new 美容美发 (hair salons), and real estate agencies. Like Hemlock said a few days ago[1] in his weblog,

"[Shanghai]’s only authentic feature is the lack of original thinking."
