Shanghai Maglev Timetable Can you help me? I would like to make sure that the last MagLev train still leaves Pudong Airport at 9pm. My husband and I will arrive in Pudong Airport at 6:30pm on Friday, May 9. A friend of mine told me that traffic in Shanghai on Friday nights are horrible, it will take more than 2 hours in a taxi to get to our hotel - JW Marriott in People's Square. So I am considering taking the Maglev, then transfer to a subway in LongYang Road to our hotel. According to the Marriot website, the People's Square train station is only 1km from the hotel. I am from Taiwan, so reading and speaking Chinese is not a problem. Thanks, Pat |

Where to Buy Tea in Shanghai If you cut and pasted that rant about you being a 'Shanghai hater', I doubt that it was written by a native English speaker. The errors are more typical of someone who is using English as a second language. |

How China Mobile Fee are Charged I wonder if you can help me with this question? I am in the UK and I'd like to ring a mobile in Chengdu, (from a landline) but don't want to risk the receiver paying charges. And I can't check with the cellphone owner as the email is bounced back! I can use a telediscount number to make the call cheap for me using a landline. any thoughts? |

Shanghai Public Transportation Card Actually, there is a discount when you use the card at the metro. After you have used it for more than 70 RMB in a month (metro only, not bus or taxi), subsequent trips are discounted by 10%. |

Getting U.S. Visa in China The problem with the visa application process is that the conusular officials processing the applications are required to regard any potential applicant as someone who will stay in the US and not return. The burden of proof is on the applicant to show beyond a reasonable doubt that they have existing ties in China that will guarantee their return. Unfortuneately, there is a high proportion of Chinese individuals who do not return, even when passing the requirements. I tried to get a tourist visa for my wife (who is Chinese) and got rejected. This is why snakeheads can get 30-50K dollars to smuggle in a Chinese national into the US. |

In China, His Pay is Hers to Spend? Well, as an American who is married to a Chinese, the situation is not so simple. Of course, when it comes to major purchases, my wife and I consult and come to a decision. There is no way I would buy something extremely expensive without her input. But, in regard to "have a big say over how the pay cheque is spent " there are differences, depending on where we are living. When we lived in the US, I took care of all of the bills. A certain amount was set aside for saving, but we had equal access to the checking account. Here in China, I give her the greatest portion of my pay, as she is responsible for taking care of this. I get my own allowance for personal spending. But, in both cases, I am the one who determines where our money is invested in the financial markets. As long as we have the same sort of financial goals and tolerance for risk, I am the one who has the education and knowledge to make these decisions. I tell her, and show her everything (through Microsoft Money) about where almost all of our money is at any time. |

Top Two Differences in China Here in Shanghai, I only tip at bars that have a mix of expats and Chinese. And only if I am planning on returning or if it is crowded. This ensures that I get excellent service that evening or whenever I return. The staff don't expect it from many, but truly do appreciate it when they receive it. And it is generally only 10%, as opposed to a minimum of 15% or $1.00 per drink at a bar in the US. |

Cheat-Sheet of Shanghai Road Names One of the most confusing things are that the east/middle/west (or north/south)designations seem rather arbitrary. It is not fixed at a specific meridian or longitude, like it is where I am from (US). So you can have a east section of a road that is directly parellel to a section that is called west. Another confusining aspect is the road naming convention. For example, there is one road that goes begins at an intersection, runs south, then diverts west, then turns south again and ends at another intersection. This is Huashan road. Ok if it is in the countryside, but not in the city. What I would (in the US) consider one street that roughly runs North/South has five different names. Wanhangdu. then Huashan, then Changshu, then Baoqing, then Hengshan. Makes life interesting....... |

United Airlines in Shanghai Actually, the United Airlines office is now located in Shui On Plaza on Huai Hai. I needed to go to the office back in September to get a ticket for my baby. I went to the Portman, but they told me it had moved. I sent an email to the UAL web site asking them to update their info, but I guess they haven't. |
