Recent Threads on Moving

[Michael]

For the sake of people researching the move to Shanghai, here a bundle of links to recent forum posts on the subject. Lots of info and many questions you have are covered. If, after browsing these threads, you still don't have an answer, feel free to post a specific question.

There is lots of info on this forum about nearly every aspect of moving to Shantghai and a lot that applies to moving to China. Here are a handful of recent threads that talk about some of the questions asked on relocation.

And so the expat communities renews itself ever

I'm not here to let you guys down, but to rely on the online apartment renting info is definitely wrong doing. Most people who have already experienced this will know that. Either the price on the internet is false, much lower than reality, the purpose of doing this is to attract eyeballs and every real estate agency post this false info as industrial "hidden rule"; or the info you saw might have already been outdated but nobody remove it away.

I think the best way for you guys to launch apartment search before arriving here is to have your company lend a hand according to your standard, or to have some good friend help you out, however, this friend should be good enough to be willing to take much time and energy searching around the city for you which is a really tiring task.

Anyway, good luck
