pls watch out for the awful drivers there. be on the high alert all the time on the road.


also keep a close watch on your kids.

i find it stressful crossing the road too. cars dont stop at traffic lights. :mad:

also a mad rush for taxi and i dont even know if these people rushing for the taxi is genuine rider :stompfeet:

to the main tourist attractions, it is easier to take the train. i was lucky to have a friend's driver to drive me whenever he is free too. but even riding in his car can be an adventure.

i have learnt to cross their roads like the local, just walk ......(ssssshhh, don't tell my wife)

[hquek]

huh? you still walk…I either brisk walk or run. Cannot believe that even when the green man is on, the motorists/cyclists will not give a damn.


When in cars, I usually think that if I were the one driving, I’ll probably be stuck in the jam hours later…CN drivers are amazing. They can overtake in the tightest of corners - jam or no jam.

The room rates are so pricey.
Guess it is because of its prime location?
Am looking for prices < RMB 600. Unlikely?

Am thinking of spending a couple of days in Shanghai to cover Huangpu cruise, Nanjing Road, The Bund, Chenghuangmiao and Taobaocheng Market.
