This is a community affair, though started by a foreigner who wanted a reason to practice writing and offer a few ideas that can help others through the culture shock of being in Shanghai. It has become larger than that. That means we encourage contributions from you or anyone who has something to say (within the scope of this site). Feel free to leave comments or, if you have a flair for words, a story or an article. Any questions, please email or post in the BBS.

We encourage you to get a login and password to post. Your personal info will not be sold, or given away to others. People who post comments, stories, or pictures to this site retain their copyrights. Occasionally, we might send out a newsletter or announcement, but will not fill your mailbox with Shanghai trivia. Of course, you are welcome to just browse and find the information you need to make your time in Shanghai fun and productive.
