"Sharrie in Shanghai" a Shanghai Travel Page by SharrieShaw

Written: Dec. 21, 2007.

Fact 1: I love it here in Shanghai.
Fact 2: I spent Christmas 2006 here & will be spending Christmas this year here as well.
Fact 3: Shanghai is my most favorite city in China, & 2nd favorite city in Asia after Tokyo.

After having been here as a tourists for many times in the past 7 years, I began living as a "resident" in China beginning Mar. 1 this year. 4.5 months in Beijing was quite a major feat for me. Nope, that's not my kind of city nor weather to live in. So, I "settled down" here in Shanghai on July 15.

I've written thousands on tips on VT under the a/c "Sharrie". If you'd like to read about what a tourist would do or see, you are cordially invited to mouse your way there.

On this a/c, I shall try to do something different. Possibly not valuable to most people on this site or elsewhere. But, it'll get me back on the track (hopefully).

Now, back to Shanghai.
Where you can find me (some of the spots I frequent):
1) Restaurants (one gotta eat, right?)
2) Shopping Centers (I'm a 100% woman, so I shop naturally)
3) Banks (well, bills gotta be paid, don't they?)
4) Airports (I still fly)
5) Fudan University (for reasons of my own ;-))

Sites I frequented & found extremely useful:
1) For news about Shanghai >>> Shanghaiist
2) For domestic airfares >>> Qunar
3) For hotel reservations >>> CTrip
