OT: Shanghai Bound

Hi Folks,

I'm going to be visiting Shanghai next week and I'm looking for the low down on what to see and do (or rather to prioritize).

I've read two guide books and now have information overload. Any ideas?

I'm going to be staying in the French Concession.

I hope it will be your priority!

Hi, so you're not bored in Shanghai :)

Hi zlyx,

I'm always fascinated by the results of Google Translation in our conversations. I don't think it would work "1 to 1" though, unless we had a translator :)

I'll be visiting my brother, who does speak a bit of Mandarin so If you are based in Shanghai we could meet for a beer.

你好 Danny Boyes

我在杭州，

如果能提前约5小时看到啤酒的位置，

我就朝它奔去。

很荣幸地围观。

在40度的上海，我带一点台风和冰雹过去、、、

还是拜托你带吧，说不定你要路过海洋。
