21 Photos of Carrefour after Boycott

I feel sad to heard that someone still go purchase in Carrefour on 1 May...

It 's completely bull shit to mention that "90% of their product are made in China".....As we all know the campaign is showing how Chinese hold tightly together. They should respect us before earn profit from us...

20 Living Cost in Shanghai

Hi Shuo Wang

I am a Singaporean and recently got interested in a recruitment by a Dubai base shanghai branch company. They paid for tax, have annual ticket and also housing allowance

1) My kid is 16 months and scannong many schools but the range is like hundresK RMB, are there any international school that gives priviledge because say i am a singaporean (shanghai-singapore int'l school?)

2) I read thru the living expenses, so if i have a job offer of 25000 RMB/month excluding housing allowance as this is given by company, i will be living very comfortably?

3) Comparing owning a car and taking taxi to work, which is more convinent and affordable?

4) International connection, cable and mobile phones - how much do they costs?

5) To draw up a bank account with a branch of my current singapore bank in shanghai - is it possible?

6) Can you check out for me how easy is foreigner to gain sales in a forwarding company as compared to a local?

7) Shanghainese - Is it an absolute necessity to know?

THanks

19 The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel

I've always thought what an utterly pointless waste of resources that tunnel is. It COULD be quite useful from a transport point of view - they could even make money from it - a lot of people want to cross the river by foot in that area, and there are no obviously easy ways to do it.

Just take the rails out and let people walk through. You could even charge them something nominal. Much easier to operate than a ferry.

16 Dream-like Tibet

More and more webistes about tibet tour, but most of them are non-professional and informal.Because I myself travel a lot,I keep looking for information on the website until I find this one-www.tibettravel.cn. It provides me lots of useful information and customized tours.By the way,it is the online service platform of CCT(China Connection Tours)-one of the top travel agencies in china.I think I can trust it.What about you?

Hi Wang Jianshuo

Have you managed to get your replacement passport?

About the rules and regulations you looked up to learn about the procedure, did you find them online? If so, would you be so kind as to post the URL here for everyone's benefit?

Thanks!

Hi Wang Jian Shuo

Knowing that you're a perfectionist :-), I'd like to draw your attention to the fact that the link "Shanghaisoup" in your Shanghai section should have the URL http://www.shanghaisoup.com, not http://shanghaisoup.com, which doesn't work.

Hi Wang Jian Shuo

The link "ShanghaiEd" in your Shanghai section should have the URL http://www.shanghai-ed.com, not shanghaied.com (which has been taken by a cybersquatter).

Have a good weekend!

Hi Wang Jian Shuo

Thanks for sharing your experience, and all the best with your driving test. Your humor is a little bit wicked, but a delight to read!

A Shanghai car licence looks rather expensive indeed, but I hope you'll soon achieve your car-owning goal. Do you need to buy car parking space at Vanke Waltz Garden too? :)

Your new home looks wonderful. Excellent choice! Not to mention timing ...

Hi Wang Jian Shuo

I stumbled across your blog by chance. What a wonderful discovery! I'll certainly make visting it a daily habit from now on. :)

Noting that you're from Henan, I wonder if I might ask the following: do you find that not speaking Shanghainese a minor inconvenience, both at work and in everyday life?

Last but not least, thanks for taking the time to provide so much useful info about SH!

1 Really Living in Shanghai

don't worry mate, it's not your fault. everyone's got an 'ignorant american' story, so here's mine. was in america, met a woman, she asked where i was from. i said 'uk'. she had never heard of it. so i said 'britain'. never heard of that either. so i said england. never heard of that. christ! then she asked me where i had learned to speak english.

on another note: what is the status of the world financial centre next to the jiang mao building? when i was in shanghai i saw the site but no work going on. is anything happening.
