Beware
By UXB69 | 6/27/2006 10:21:12 PM
Re; ROCKYR dated 15 April 2006.
Same thing happened to me. 2 Chinese girls saying could they walk with me, to practice their English, for their export company. Asked me for coffee, next thing whisky arrived. I left after 1 drink. The bill arrived for 1,500 yuan. Luckily I only had 300 on me. Beware who you have coffee with in Nanjing Road. I took a photo of the respectable looking shop..

Shanghai Bund @ nite
By BIRDIEJK | 6/13/2006 11:45:07 PM
While strolling at Shanghai Bund and enjoying the nite scene, do watch your bags and valuables. Place is crowded and beware of snatch thieves. A guy shouted that he had been pickpocketed and gave chase but the thief 'disappeared' into thin air!

The taxi price in Shanghai has been rised!
By PEA28COCK | 5/11/2006 8:13:10 PM
According to the news, taxi price in Shanghai has been rised. The new price is 11 Yuan for the first three kilometers and 2.1 Yuan for each extra kilometer afterwards.
It will take a pretty long time to install new mileometers to all the taxis in Shanghai, therefore if you go to Shanghai within half a month, you will find both the old and new price systems. :)

Be aware Shanghai womens at Nanjing road
By ROCKYR | 4/15/2006 9:45:39 PM
If they talk to you "Neehao" , don,t talk or do any thing that will show you interest in them. Because they will make your trouble by invite you to have a cup of coffee at the shop as same as one coffee shop at the 7th above of the jewery shop that they have any relatetion, then they will order whisky which very expensive price and you will pay allmost not lease than 4000 RMB. for your first time on Nanjing road. and they will leave you at the end.I don,t know why the chinese police don,t arrest that shit.

Airport Taxi From Shanghai Airport
By ABNORMALEMALE | 4/9/2006 7:45:17 AM
some Taxi drivers may come to you when you exit the airport, pretending that they speak english and that they know exactly how to take you to your destination, try to ask them something in English, you will be surprized, and ask them for a receipt, each cab has a printer attached to the meter, it should start printing and making noises as the driver pushes the meter`s scren to reset it, if he didnt reset the meter, nor activate the printer, prepare yourself to pay a very huge fare, I paid the first time I came 500Yuans, from the airport to my hotel near the city center.

Be aware of people trying to get known to you..
By ZDES | 3/13/2006 11:51:46 PM
I have to confirm the "Go for a cup of coffee to get to know new friends" by GROOX. I've had similar experience, walking the Nanjing Rd., a young man started talking to me, saying he's from Japan, living 1 year in Shanghai... Ok we talked together and then he offered to go to a bar where young people, mostly student go. I resisted for a while but then decided to go.. Well, I should be warned.. we went into a bar off from the main Nanjing Rd., nobody was there except few girls. We sit down and the girls immediately come to us. I tried to stop it but we had 3 beers and some refreshments for the girl... I said stop and asked the bill (the man that got me there got away saying he's paid his beer). The bill was 374 Yuans within those 5 minutes we were in. I argued with the staff, however they started to surrond me - really not feeling well, especially with my phone left in the hotel, so no chance to call a police or whoever. I argued it down to 100 for the 3 beers (of course the cheater didn't payed for it) and got away. I've been also offered by several girls to go for a drink, however I was warned by GROOX's tip. After that, when another girl come to me again on Nanjing Rd., I told her I've just had bad experience of very expensive bar and she only said "ooops" and turned away - so you can imagni yuorself what it's all about.
