Living Cost in Shanghai (2007 Edition) Thanks for precise data. :-) For those who are going to negotiate their contracts before their stay in Shanghai, even if you are vegetarian happy with munching chinese fried cabbage from a street vendor, you rather take into account that drinks in bars and cafes around town tend to drain your wallet at speed of Maglev train: 40-80RMB per 0.5l glass of local beer (my favourite exceptions being 23,- during happy hour at Big Bamboo, 15,- at Old Dane's Farmhouse (Dank und Skoll on Friday! ;-) and 25,- at Plan B, just to praise a few places) or 55,- per 0.15l (voila, what a measure! served in Citizen Cafe with magnifying glass so you can actually see the beverage at the bottom of the glass...) of VERY average red wine. The light at the end of tunnel is that - probably due to poor service of most (though not all) chinese waiters/tresses, who can be sometimes so indifferent and/or clumsy - no tips are given. |
