When the House Prices Goes Down I think location is still the key factor here. When I checked out La Doll and Edifice on Beijing Rd (very central and convenient location) the prices were still rediculous. I did hear that in other areas (near Hongqiao and other areas) the prices are falling down. In Xintindi, RichGate is still selling at their usual price (I would love that place if I had a few million USD sitting around). Lane houses continue to rise (at a slower pace) but location doesn't matter as much b/c of the uniqueness of the property. My observations... |

Pudong Starbucks is Nice It's over, US is taking over China...Starbucks, KFC, McD, what's next? Sonics drive thru? Already Chinese women want to be white and marry foreigners, as many of the Asian Americans do in the US...I'm being sarcastic here, Starbucks is a trend, it's popular in Japan as well, a huge tea drinking society..what people need is change, especially young people, hence Starbucks provided the branding, the atmosphere, etc. Personally, Coffee Bean tastes a lot better, and the best coffee is gotaa be Dunkin Donuts. |

Is the Real Estate Cooling Down? - Part II Curious if anyone has further opinion on buying villas vs. apartments vs. lane house? I just looked at some lane houses and think that if there is a correction in Shanghai real estate, lane house will be able to withstand the correction more than apartments and villas based on supply. Any thoughts? Also, wonder if anyone has thought about buying lane house, what are the pitfalls to watch for (like gov't plan to tear it down, etc.?) Thanks. |

About Jian Shuo Wang Hello Mr. Wang, love reading your blog. Would like to ask you a couple of questions: 1) I'm considering an offer that will relocate my wife and I to Shanghai. She's a little skeptical because we've heard of numerous stories of failed marriage in Shanghai because of the KTV, prostitutions, massages, etc. that exist in China. Can you comment on this for expats? 2) I see that you have MSFT experience. The offer I have is from SAP, do you know their salary structure for manager level? How is SAP viewed in China, etc.? Thanks and I look forward reading your response. |
