Shanghai China Snippets Observations about living in Shanghai and China in general

In the Pudong Starbucks on the bank of the river you have a great view on the ships sailing by and amazingly it’s quiet and peaceful. For 12 Yuan you have a coffee of the day and if you have to go to the loo just tell the waitress. She will give you a small piece of paper, cut out of a magazine it seems. Without a blink the WC-guy will accept it. You can of course also bring your own scissors and magazine.
