Terra Incognita : Shanghai Serenades



3rd Nov - 11 Nov 2006

Reading :
Lonely Planet > Shanghai (Is there a better guide? C'mon)

China Nightlife


My Shanghai Is Better Than Yours

----------------------------------------
I've been to Shanghai before...But it was a whizzy shorter-than-2-days stopover on the tail end of a month plus school trip. This time round, I will be living with Guan, my cousin. He works for an American MNC and lives with his family in the Pudong expat community, so I guess I will have a more interesting perspective of this place many plug as the "New York of Asia."

If you scrutinize the cover of "Lonely Planet - Shanghai," you will see the word "HUO" which means "commodity, product, goods" in Chinese. The same pronunciation of Huo however, also means "disaster" in Mandarin...

Well, I bought life insurance recently.
