I now live in Shanghai and have my hands full exploring new restaurants around town - all 30,000 of them!

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:The City never sleeps, cost of living, diversity of food
  • Cons:No dryer - hang dry clothes, no NFL Sunday Ticket or March Madness, Crazy drivers
  • In a nutshell:One of the world's greatest cities.

    That's informative. At least in Bangkok there are "rules". They get a "Lady Drink" and you get a cold beer.I'll be in Shanghai in November so will be cautious.

    So cool, from your comment in 2004 in which you say there were only 3 lines, now that I'm here in 2009 there are 8 (and the other three have been expanded), next year will be another 5. Nice

    Went with my wife, just to try it out... Never AGAIN. LOUSY SERVICE, LOUSY FOOD. As an ex -chef and reasonably well informed on International cuisine. SPEND your money in MAC's nearby. (better value and food) This is not a place I would reccomend.

    Good info., but how come it has Japanese man's name on the board, or does it mean something else?
