what do you love about the shanghai?

i'm learning what i can before i go. my last question provoked some negative comments (though in fairness that is what i asked for) so now i'd like to hear the positives...

Leaving Shanghai

This is what you love about Shanghai?

ok . . . I suppose

food (yum),
Some really interesting things and some really nice things. When you go home you can tell your friends all the strange things you have eaten and gross them out. The shops here stay open really late so you can get food at all hours. KFC and McDonalds delivers.

I love that I'm not the smartest guy in the world and people here make me feel like I am, here's to you Ayi (lets wash white and colored clothing together)

Whores?

man, other than "hater" i don't know how to describe uncle ohshit, really

believe me, it really does not bother me a bit, if you are trashing shanghai or china in general. i just think you spend too much time being negative.

i mean every chance you get, you spit out negativity. anyone who's been here for awhile already knew your opinion and where you stand on china issue. it's ok to take a rest, once a while, really!

i still believe that, you are a very nice person in life. this is all just your online personality. you can not help it. i don't know how much pleasure you get out of it, but IMHO, if you just use this dedication on something else, it would have done you good already.

What I love about living in Shanghai.

The booze has taken it's toll... I'm no longer smart enough to follow Zicca's train of thought...

My train of thought went into a tunnel and keeps getting diverted.

The people speak their own language, and they think they are special.

I love rain season in Sh.

^oh come on baby, I will speak english to non-Chinese of course and i don't feel myself special.

and shanghai: crowded, big, uncomfortable air, convenient.

what do you speak to Shanghai people

Mandrin of course. now I can understand 90% shanghai hua, and speak 20% of shanghai hua(I think I can). but still find it weird speaking it so I never do that.

3 years ago when i came to shanghai, shanghai hua sounds japanese to me.

Better?

I like the freedom I have here; cheap taxis, great metro system. Eating out is cheap too so I never have to cook. Shops are open late and every day of the week (where I am from everything is closed on Sunday, Saturday everything closes at 17:00 and during the week at 18:00).

I also like all the extra money I get for working here.

Definitely not 'in love' with Shanghai - do you ever get that way?

I like the conveniences it has to offer.

DVDs are good and of course my friends.

That's about it for me.

but you're not even here anymore or is this what you loveD about Shanghai?

Shanghai is like that exgirlfriend you had. She beat you up, spit on you, ruined your health, took all your money, but god damn it, you loved her...

What he said

hehe, the hustle, and the dynamic,

have you ever, really walked out on a sunday morning, say 9, 10am and see all the people in the cars, and bikes hurrying from one place to another?

Everybody is out there hustling 24/7, if I say they have purpose, some might hate on me now.
But I think so, back home, you see the same people, sitting on the same bench, at the same bar, mon-sun, since 2002....

I love how everything is always in motion here, it's motivational, and inspiring.

It's the busiest place I've ever lived and I love it.

David Byrne from Talking Heads used to stare out his window in New York for inspiration for writing music. I stare out the window looking over XJH and it's like watching Metropolis in ultra-vision at double speed.
