2 Foreign Job Seekers Move to Shanghai

Hi, I found this website VERY helpful. I am from Minnesota, USA moving to Shanghai the first week of January. My office is located in the Hong Qiao district. I want to live within walking distance to the office because I will be without a car. I am 33 years old and very social. I want to live in an area that has: a great nightlife, a good expat presence, in my age group, good restaurants/shopping, and easy to get to other parts of the city. Is Hong Qiao a good place to live? I have seen some very nice apartments in that area. I am allowed $15,000RMB per month for living allowance. It looks like it will get me a very nice, furnished apartment for that amount of money. If anyone has advice, please post back. Thank you!

1 Shanghainese Girl Marrying Foreigners

For those Western women who have lost husbands to this phenomenon--older western guys with young Chinese women--it does not make it easy at home. We are left to clean up the messes with the left-behind children and "before" life.

My X made his first trip to China in April of 2004. He became involved with a 23 year old (he was 50) by December of that year (we had been married 24 years at that time). We separated by the next November. He moved to China by the next June. Our divorce just became final. And now a new 29 year old is currently getting her passport to come west. The amount of money spent on these young Chinese women (the number of "friends" continues to climb) has been staggering.

I have met numerous X-wives with this same story. I know that there are "true" loves out there, but from where I sit, it is hard not to generalize. Oh, and BTW, all of these girls are from Shanghai.
