i agree to you heidi... i've been in and out of shanghai for almost 2 years now, since my husband works as a project designer, so we (including my kids) got some privilege of visiting/touring the city as well, had i known this WJS blog before, i may not be that so darn dumb discovering shanghai on my own, relying to magazines,namely (UFO) as to the ins and outs of the place...eventhen, still our visits to shanghai was definitely a memorable and full of learning experience, not just for myself but also to my kids...can't wait to be there once again..maybe by F1 season again...

2 10 Things You Love/Hate About Shanghai

i've been to shanghai several times already since early 2004(sometimes with my children as well) for a 30day vacation/visit and up to this date, bcoz of the opportunity that my hubby works their as a senior project designer, we can also be called expats, though we're asians, still in the realm of asian countries,fyi.

likes:
1. helpful & very detailed/updated tourists maps!!! w/codes for BUS NO. & TRAIN STATIONS. (this is helpful to me,specially my husband is at work), i can pretty much decipher the places of shanghai all by myself!!!..specially when my kids gets bored inside the flat

2. unwavering FOOD delights!!!..different tastes, a lot of good choices.something different in our taste buds (of course, when my kids are gone w/all the American fastfood outlets e.g. mcdonald's, kfc, pizza hut, etc.)

3. shopping malls!!! in every corner of the streets.

4. simple living, even when you're an expats/tourists..you can do so (that is, by choice)

5. courteous & friendly local people (FYI: i'm referring to the place to where we're staying/living) that is at Zhang-yang Lu cor. Ju-Ye Lu, Pudong New Area.. even from the apartment's staircase, the adjacent flat housemates, from the common park area, or even in the market place!!! not to mention also the security personnel and the mini-store vendors!!.oh they are all so friendly and cheerful people!!!

6. can't wait to be in shanghai again soon, maybe!!!

DISLIKES:

1. spitting! yeah i know its part of the locales culture, but spitting immediately infront of us, even in my kids.. whew.. was a shock! I think, there could be a more subtle way of doing that, having lots of spit trash bins???in every corner of the streets or even along the streets in which they can spit all the time they want....well, just a thought(",)

2. the rush hour fever!,, being caught in that time specially when it's
chinese holidays, whew.. almost all the places we've been there's a lot of people, malls.. the train station specially at the people's square (where you can transfer from line 1 to line 2)

that could be all for now..till next visit, maybe
