    Shanghai may be busy, but this board isn't!
    Where is everyone?

    i've been in Shanghai 2 weeks, and i'm not sure how i feel about it yet. It seems dirty, crowded and smelly. But maybe that's just my neighborhood.
    The only freakish thing i've done so far is eat a duckbill, and try to find houseplants for my balcony (unheard of around here it seems!.

    Hope you're having more fun than i am!

    In the small city of Fuzhou where I live, there ain't many foreigners, and thats partly why people treat them like gods, especially the so-called ESL training centers. But Shanghai is another story. Actually, there are so many foreigners there that Chinese people just don't give a damn at all.

    Actually, the Shanghainese are kinda "infamous" for their arrogant attitude towards people from other parts of China and foreign countries.
