FAQs (From the traveler's perspective)
Q: What's the accommodation like in Shanghai?
A: It's expensive! Hotels are kind of old, but I found a pretty good deal, a cozy duplex with an amazing view for $75 a night, but the bathroom stinks a bit.
Q: What did you think of the Chinese hot pot?
A: It was pretty good, nothing crazy, but okay. We made it half spicy, half not spicy because I don't really like spicy food.
Q: What was the most surprising thing you found in Shanghai?
A: Probably the European feel of the French Concession! It really feels like you're in Europe, not China at all!
