sooo its almost a week since I've landed here, so far what I find interesting about the city are:
1. It is very modern. I might be biased since I currently reside in a good district (the xujiahui district)
2. There are lots and lots of people. God I made the mistake of taking the subway during rush hour (5:30 pm). People were literally trying to squeeze inside the subway. You think its already full? Noooo, the subway guards actually PUSH people from the outside to make more room!
3. Things here are generally cheaper compared to in the states. A nice 2 bedroom apartment (in an upscale neighborhood) can be had for $600-$700 US per month.
4. People here are generally rude. They don't queue up, and they have no manners. I was eating at kfc today, and even before I leave my table some old lady sat down in front of me to reserve the table!! WTF?!?!?
5. Chinese girls here are hawttt (I am Chinese so I might be biased).. I will take pictures when I bring my camera out :D:D
6. The nightlife here is amazing... so many bars and places to go to..

That is it for now.. I will update this thread again in the future

Sounds neat. I'd love to learn Mandarin. Unfortunately the language terrifies and confuses me. ;)

prepare to be mobbed. chinese people love to see non-chinese people because they are fed up of seeing so many of themselves.

Chinese girls in China are NOT hot. Not when you compare to the good America grown one....

If that happened to me, they'd get a big "you'd better step off ..." from me.

Shanghai is the New York of China, everything is very westernized.

To truly appreciate Chinese culture, you need to get your ass to Beijing or Xian.
