3 Went to Children's Hospital - Refugee Camp

I think the problem that you are facing is partially the inefficiency of the system. But I think the primary reason is simply there are just too many people in Shanghai. There are lines like these everywhere, the banks, post office and any other services that serves the general public.

To me as an expatriate, that this the one of two aspects of China that I am already tired of and eventually drive me back to the west where I am from. The first is the struggle to get day to day things done because of the amount of people that reside here and the other is the chronic pollution problem.

2 Salary in Shanghai - Part II

Surender

Seems like you are an educated and intelligent person or you would not be able to command such a salary. However, when you are told that the average starting salary for a college grad is 2000-3000 and your monthly salary is over 20 times higher you cannot surmise what that might mean?

1 Shanghai Looks Similar to US, But...

Jian Shuo, I am surprised that you are so honest in your assessment of the Shanghai government. I am sure that not too long ago that this sort of opinion would be censored and quashed. I believe that in itself is progress.

Care to comment how far relative "freedom of speech" has come in China in the past 10 years or so?
