I have lived in Shanghai consecutively since August 2004. I lived in the Pudong district until 2006, then moved to a more downtown locale near Nanjing Road and the Jing'an Temple. Drop me a line if you have any questions about Shanghai.
Pudong. I used to live and work in PUDONG, SHANGHAI. I thought it would be easier to break out the parts about Pudong on their own page, even if it reduces the number of information and size of my Shanghai page. I have created a page about Pudong with lots of pictures and tips.
