17 Lujiazui is a Construction Site

Hope more metro lines can be built, coz the house price is too high, the country side and central downtowns can be connected by the motro lines..., let's guess after 10 years, how Shanghai will be like?

16 Thoughts about Being a Leader

I think the great leader will not force their thoughts to be accepted by his staff, saying that is easy, but hard to do. Anyway, I will try, :-)

15 Stock Market Big Drop

I think the blog is charming beause it always describes the facts and topics which may cause comments from readers, some blog writers may also be good at English but they might not be able to attract so many people to comment, is it the successful secret of your blog?

13 Is Olympic Really Coming?

There are two many disasters happened in China in 2008, the snow disaster, earthquakes, etc, which make all of Chinese people are united as on to help the country. To us, Olympics is just a sports event, and we want Chinese can be understood more by the outside world especially the western countries. If the others are not trying to destroy the Olympic games in China, I think there is no need for Chinese government to enforce the security checking, and I think Chinese government doesn't want to affect the normal life of the local citizens and also the life of foreigners.

For us, we also want to normal life to be resumed after Olympics, also looking forward to October

7 One Child Policy in China

Actually, many of my foreign friends are keeping on asking me the same questions: Why China has the policy that one couple can only has one kid? It's really hard for a foreigner to completely understand what's going on in China.
The problem is China has a huge population base already, can you imagine the situation that if the government don't do anything to stop the rising birth rate and just let it be? I believe we can't affort that much of population. I think there are a lot of reasons that we can't abolish the policy right now.
Not all people get well-educated, especially those in the rural places. They even don't what will be brough to the country if they give birth 3 or 4 times, or ever more.Who to blame? The government or the people? I think either of them. The government is doing their best to make a well-being situation, and the people are tring their best to perform the policy even they don't understand.
I knew this policy when I was a little girl who could recognize Chinese characters and read.I accept it because we were taught so since we were little kid, it is a natural thing for our generation and we don't think it is strange even I know that the kid will be lonely and no one can play with him for his childhood, or even that they will get spoiled by their grandparents.I believe these problems will be resolved by sociologists. And as we can see, Chinese government is doing something right now.
Let's go back to your investment in China, I don't think one child policy should affect your investment. If you want to invest on something, I believe you have been doing your own survey for quite a long time, which country will have a prosperous future, investment on which country can bring you benefit.

6 Do You Believe in Living Cost Index?

I am always arguing with my friends from other countries on this issue. In some ways, living costs in Shanghai is cheap, because goods here is cheaper. But it will be very expensive when it comes to buying a house, drinking coffee in the downtown, especially in the area of attractions. So prices in different areas are not comparable, not to mention in different of countries.I can get a cup of coffee at the price of 1 RMB from vendor machine, and I can also spend 100 RMB to have a drink in the downtown.

3 Zhuo Zheng Yuan of Suzhou

To Elfe
Thanks for your comments. Well we are nearly on our way to Shanghai as we arrive Friday of next week. We are staying in the Ji Jinn Hotel at Pudong and then the Agricultural Hotel on Saturday 26 - we think that is in the south of Shanghai and then after that Qingpu. We will increase the mileage then as we become a bit more familiar!
We would welcome anyone to cycle with us or meet us. we will be getting mobile phone cards as we feel I may lose my husband whilst cycling. We did lose each other in Oxford a few weekends ago and that's in our home city.

1 Zhuo Zheng Yuan of Suzhou

We are an English couple planning a three-week cycling holiday around Shanghai at the end of March, bringing our own bicycles to Pudong International Airport and cycling to the lakes and Suzhou and Hangzhou, returning by ferry to Shanghai.
We don't speak any Chinese, but we have been given a road atlas by a Chinese friend.
Has anyone cycled in this area? Is it easy to find your way if you don't understand Chinese symbols?
