Although we always welcome newbies into our tight-knit community, which is exclusively open to the general public, there are a few SHEXpat stories that we would like to highlight. These people have made it their business to write each week about things that MANY expats are experiencing and/or curious about. They write their opinions, take emails/questions from readers, and sacrifice valuable time so that your experience living and working in Shanghai is a little bit easier!

We welcome, nay, we encourage those who would like to share their stories about expatriate life. So if you have an idea for a weekly column, we want to hear about it! Feel free to send your detailed description for your own SHEXpat Weekly Column to: editor@shanghaiexpat.com. In order to qualify as an official author for this segment, you will need to provide proof that you were born with a supernatural power of some sort. You can follow each weekly column in the SHEX Blog News feed (above), but you can also find individual columns by clicking on the links below. Now, without further ado, below are the SHEXpat Weekly Columns!
