I suddenly found myselft benefit a lot from ShanghaiExpat.com.
I met my girlfriend through ShanghaiExpat.com 18 months ago, we have serious and very good realationship. I got my job here. I got a round trip airticket to London here. It's really an amazing site for me.
Also meet quite a few nice people here. I can say ShanghaiExpat really changed my life and the way I see people with different background and cultures.

Fukuman: "I got to ride 1into many here"

On a more serious note: "This website is very informative, provided me a lot of insight in Shanghai itself and the job market because of the people who are willing to provide this information. I guess Shexpat facilitates in this."

I find two roomates via Shanghaiexpat but going to look for the third coz I am moving to another appartment.
I find my current job via Shanghaiexpat but going to quit it for another better offer.
I find some nice male friends via Shanghaiexpat but going to meet more...
ShanghaiExpat means something to me in the past one year and will mean more.

I was morbidly obese, covered in pimples, wore coke bottle glasses and only saw naked girls in Japanese cartoons..........
After only a few weeks on ShExpat...I'm fit as a fiddle with glowing healthy skin, my eyes are great and naked women are everywhere I look.... Thanks, ShExpat!!!!!

the name fanny4ever sounds to me like you like the ladies a lot!!!! i think you should register with a new account!!! But you do what you want, you do only have 5 posts though so you haven't built up too much identity with this name!

During the most difficult times in August last year, I almost made a stupid decision to quit the job and fly back for good, but friends from Shanghaiexpat.com gave me supports in kind words and PMs... Thanks again, folks, you made me a stronger person!

I think it's a great site. A lot of helpful people and lots of interesting information. I've met quite a few people from the site and having shexpat in common, made you feel less like strangers and also gave conversation a healthy boost until the initial unfamiliarity wore off. Shexpat is definately an essential site for finding your feet in Shanghai. One of the most telling testaments to this is a friend of mine saying that when he first arrived here in Shanghai he often googled things of interest and was referred to Shexpat, until finally he realised it was just easier to search for info about Shanghai here. It's also a great way to become exposed to people from varied walks of life who you may never meet under normal circumstances.

I started my cooking classes from a thread on this site.. now its a regular thing to have classes. Then 8 days magazine did a small bit on me. I never thought I would see my name in print. Its not just the classes.. I found a lot of information, good advise, I met a number of new people, made good friends, and discovered so many things, its really great.
Thank you !

Shanghaiexpat is better than any yellow pages or guide book. I went on a month long search for something very specific - Top Hats, and failed miserably. Then I decided to post on Shanghaiexpat, got a few replies, and found my hat in a day! I was absolutely ecstatic! And any time I have any other questions, whether it's big or small, someone is always there to answer and help. It is for me the single best source for information for any subject matter and has been indispensable for me in Shanghai! Thanks Shanghaiexpat!

Shanghai Expat's been instrumental in my staying in China. I was ready to go home or an other country. But after meeting Michael, H and made some other new friends I decided to stay. I found a job through Shanghai Expat!!! Unfortunately, it affects my Mixer attendance. I met my traveling partner here, Thanks guys
ps. Now I need help finding boyfriends for my friends. ( 5 singles women: when is the next Speeddate?)

Post subject: Add your testimonial for Shanghai Expat

Over the past few weeks I have not only met many fine people through Shanghai Expat, but have been able to hire several employees. I was so tired over the past 3 years of always having to hire friends of a friend or through a friend of a friend that now I can really find the individuals with the qualifications needed for my jobs in Shanghai. Thank you Shanghai Expat, you provide an invaluable service to the international community.

Currently, I am working in Bangkok and I must admit there is no better Expat forum other than Shanghaiexpat.
