2 Living Cost in Shanghai (2007 Edition)

Hi,

thank you very much for the information, it's very useful...

I just have one more question: can you please tell me (us) what the typical price range is for a 1-2 bed room apartment is in the area of Jing'an-si, Nanjing-Xi-Lu? (along the metro line 2)

Thank you very much!

1 New Xiangyang Market Location?

Last time I went to Yuyuan, I bought a beautiful souvenir for my mom. I still think that it was too expensive, but the lady said 600RMB as initial price. I bargained it down to 200RMB, arguing that I'm a poor student, looking at other, cheaper stuff she had in her shop, too. If you don't show that you want something at all costs, then you might get a better price. And I got a student bonus, too ;)
Anyway, even though I "only" paid 200RMB, I still think it was too expensive. But my mom loved it, so it was worth it :)
