29 Group Drive to Yang Cheng Lake

Jianshuo,

You seem to be the english authority on shanghai info which can't be found elsewhere on the internet... so I ask you this simple question, what is the fastest way to drive from Shanghai (Hongqiao Area) to Suzhou!!?? I have searched everywhere on the web for the answer, but in English, nothing comes up!! I suspect it is either the A9 or A11???? Grateful for your advice!

22 Listen = Discover?

It's a great experience;-) We spend always a lot of time to gather the knowlege, but take few time to think about it and pratice what one preaches. Such things are just like studying philosophy, you get many "gut" ideas in your head, but they are nothing to do with you.

20 Salary in Shanghai

Good job indeed,

I understand well your different points of vue. And i agree with your figures (but only if you are chinese).

After a charming 6 months period of adventure, discovery, and excitement, Any foreigner in Shanghai will aspire to different things as local people. Being abroad has to be advantageous in a way or an another. We (foreigner) like different foods, sports, occupations, hobbies, and have different needs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10,000 Rmb is just what need a 25+ years old foreigner in Shanghai to live correctly, without saving any money and without travelling through China-Asia.

When you just get out of student life, it should be easier... but Rmb 7,000 is a real minimum for any foreigner in Shanghai.

If you are able to get 15K then life is becoming much more comfortable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3years in Shanghai have made me well aware of what's acceptable or no in a long time.

4600 rmb is the correct monthly deduction amount for tax calculation for foreigners in Shanghai...

19 Shanghai Metro Line #4

I take the Metro Line4 to my office almost every working day. It is very convinent.But as you mentioned above the project is not finished yet, the waiting time between two trains is about 12minutes, it is too long. Hope it can finished as soon as possible.
PS: I comed from hubei province and has worked at shanghai for 9years. I think every city and its citizen have its advantage and shortage.So please treat the other city peacefully and fairly.The world is various, and the difference make the world colorful.

14 Does Hotmail Work in China?

Hey Phil, lick my sweaty nutsack! If you are so serious about life, which you dont seem to know much about with the assumptions you make, then killing yourself might be a good option. You either get no joy out of life, or you just fiddle around the internet all day with nothing better to do with your precious existence. Either way, why are you replying to someone who is so childish if you have more important things to do? I live in Shanghai, if you want to deal with me tell me and we can meet face to face.

Again, thanks - in whatever way necessary - to Wang Jian Shuo for this website.

11 From Shanghai to US - A Handbook

How about changing Chinese money into US dollars? Particularly if you don't work full time (and therefor don't have a tax receipt to show the bank).

Customs is a good topic. In addition to tipping and not yelling at staff I suggest "don't spit", "don't litter", and "how to stand in line".

9 Satellite Dishes Still Forbidden in China

I have been living in China for over 3 years now (I am American) and have lived in Jinan, Qingdao and now Wuxi. When I arrived in Wuxi over a year and a half ago I bought a satellite tv system (DREAM TV) and had it installed at my apartment. It is great. But now I'm moving to a new apartment building, a beautiful and modern facility but they are giving me some hassle about installing the dish. OMG... so frustrating.

5 Hand-Made Map of Pudong Area

Thank you for all the helpful information and wonderful map. I was just there for an advance trip as my family will be moving there March 1. We are considering Shimao Lakeside Garden for a resident and the Fortune Kindergarten local school for our kids which I think is on Dong Huang Long Road. Are you able to tell me how far apart Shimao Lakeside and Fortune Kindergarten are in Kilometers and maybe indicating where they are on your map using the street names for reference points?

4 PVG: Transition to Hong Qiao (SHA)

It's sounds like a kamikaze planning!

Have you ever experience this transfer? 40min might be enough if you don't have to wait for your luggage. I don't agree with the 1 hour bus ride. Last weekend I took the line to Hong Qiao airport and first it stops in Ji'an district before it's going to the HQ airport and there are so MANY traffic lights before you reach Ji'an or HQ airport. No traffic jam? You should know it better, you have a car now!

From Pudong Airport to Hong Qiao airport sucks!

Thanks, I cannot believe that it is legal for these criminals to brake into our homes and defile us with their lies. I wish that it was illegal for these criminals to do this. I also wish that the government would put the spam eamilers out of business.
