Personal comments
We often go go Nanjingxi street, a lof of cafe, bar, resturants. To have lunch, the favourit must be Element Fresh. If you want to see all of Shanghai, you can go to the 87 floor of Jin Mao, great resturant there as well. We usually to to western resturants, but there are a few good chinese as well.

Don't choose too many courses and travel to Beijing, Yunan, Tibet, Sichuan and Hong Kong. That's something everybody should have seen.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

If I come back to Shanghai I want to work, that is why I want to have an apartment closer to downtown Shanghai.
