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'm loving ShanghaiExpat since I never thought I could meet with so many wonderful peolpe here!

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!!!!!

Wow, so many people here and they all love shanghaiexpat! Great! Unfortunately,the Wednesday action is too late and far from where I live <my university> and I'm always having jobs to do on Sunday. It's not a right time for me, is it? Bliss, how can I meet such great people of shanghaiexpat?

by **bellabella** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 6:51 pm

well the name fanny is very different from the name jones! which is just boring - fanny is kind of rude!
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!

by **conniechong** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 10:34 pm

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!

by **pixelpunter** » Thu Apr 20, 2006 11:21 pm

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 can share a lot of informations not just about shanghai and also about whole china...I just started to find basketball mates to play in xu jia hui...just can say "it aint boring"

Thanks all for your kind words. Sometimes it just helps us to know we are making a difference for some people. Your comments are really appreciated. Feel free to continue.

Good site. Some interesting characters online and in real life. Often get a lot of useful info from it.

by **Lotta** » Mon Jun 18, 2007 7:22 pm

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 !

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?)

by **Renovator** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 1:40 am

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.

by **Super_Inggo** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 1:45 am

Definitely an A-1 site... informative and one can meet a lot of people - from all around the world. Great Job and keep it up!

by **conniechong** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 7:07 pm

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

by **Reg_Reagan** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 3:38 pm

I like Shanghaiexpat. The chicks are all hot. And they do good BBQ's with cheap beer. Lets get loose.

by **Jboy** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 4:56 pm

Without Shanghai Expat I'd be a more productive and healthier individual. Thanks Shanghaiexpat for making me going out every other night and drinking too much.

by **travelinjack3** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 4:57 pm

Did you find your roommate, boyfriend/girlfriend, apartment or job on ShanghaiExpat? Nope.

Did it help you adjust to living in Shanghai and in China, find things (good beer and BBQ a major plus), and generally make life a lot easier? Abso-fcuking-lutely.

Can be pretty darned entertaining too.

Yo. I found an apartment or rather an agent----then I posted and found a better agent for this fall---the next China adventure. But when I need medical help---the site was invaluable. So if you think you are not making a difference with this site----wrong----you are!!! I have still struggled this trip to Shanghai---the cultural differences are huge to say the least. But at least on the forum----you know you are not alone. I have attended some events and plan on attending more. I am headed back to the States in few weeks but I will be returning in August. Now I have some friends from the events----to returning will be much easier---something to look forward to. Thanks Ed and the Sat. coffee crew---made my week much better.

Why did I forget the most important thing ? In April, an acquaintance had her mother go for hip surgery and badly needed A negative blood, we had ran out of volunteers.. then we appealed here.. and what a response we got ! Its thanks to the site that the lady is fine today... So many people, who went out of their way to donate blood, so many others who asked after her, and wished her well.. Definitely Sh Expat is the best.

SECURITY ALERT!! SECURITY ALERT!! SECURITY ALERT!! SECURITY ALERT!!
Don't tell anyone, but Shanghaiexpat has more information and is more usefull than any book or China website you can find!
In one place you can find out from where to buy bread to where to find a partner, or a dog, or a free cat!!
You can discuss health, love, friendship and even how is the life in this so different country!!
I think the government should put a notice in this website"
"Be Aware: ShanghaiExpat is an addictive website. Commom sense is needed or you will be stucked in the computer forever..."

Michael, you are a genius! thanks a lot for this wonderful work!!

by **1/4mile** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 10:49 pm

wonderful site!!! I give it a 10!! very informative and entertaining...
