What are good and bad s about living as a western (Expat) in Shanghai?
Shanghai is a wonderful dynamic city full of life, and is the commercial center of China. Virtually all western multinationals have a presence there, and it is a shopper’s paradise. The advantage of being a western expat is that you will have a considerable amount of money, and be able to buy many things which local Chinese cannot afford. One of the first things many western expats do is buy their own home, because compared with other large cities, such as Tokyo, Hong Kong and New York, housing in Shanghai is much cheaper and is bound to go up in value.
