5 PVG: From Pudong Airport to Nanjing

Hi

My name is Roberto. I'm traveling to Shangai by the 28th of this month I arrive at the Pudong airport at around 5:45 Pm. After that I should get to Yiwu.

1) Do you think is best to stay one night in Shanghai and go to Yiwu the next day?
2) How do I get from Pudong airport to the railway station to take the train to Yiwu?
3) How hard is it to comunicate to the taxi drivers in English

Thank you very much

4 Chivas' Mermaid by Sarah Khider

Dear Wangjianshuo,
here in Brazil we have the same commercial as you do in China, but it´s only shown on payed TV. And I also love the Chivas life, though I don´t drink any kind of alcoholic beverage. Down on Chivas´ site you can find a whole bunch of items related to the lifestyle the company advertises. There are wallpapers, info, news, etc. It´s the occidental post-modern man approach to life. It´s cool, like George Clooney, the Mermaid Song, Porsches, Frank Sinatra, Polo, Paris, Black... It´s the place where us all, citizens of the world can share experiences.
We could be, together...
Tata

3 Fake Market in Shanghai?

hi wangjianshuo,

i've lurked on your blog for a while and i was wondering if you had offered up any advice to some commenters earlier asking about the prospects for work visas/settlement for skilled Filipino workers interested in China. i'm currently in USA but most of my family in the philippines who have training as engineers, computer entrepreneurs, doctors and nurses want to work in China instead-- it's much closer, more cultural ties and much more affordable.

they've been learning Chinese at the Mandarin language schools in manila and quezon city mostly and two of them are almost fluent. one of my nephews is interested in studying in China, others just want to work there for a while.

it makes sense for China to sharply restrict unskilled immigrants from the Philippines who can't contribute to the economy. but the skilled immigrants from Philippines and other Asian countries can contribute a lot and help to rapidly build the Chinese economy in areas like high-tech, pharmaceuticals and medicine. does China have a special visa program to facilitate work permits for skilled Asian workers like this? i thought you indeed had such a program but i don't know how to advise my family members on it. thanks for any help.

Roberto
