I will be traveling to Taicang to work every day and wanted to know a good place to live where speaking Chinese is not a must. Also, could you provide how much rent would be in a nicer apartment of 2-3 bedrooms. I am also trying to figure out how money I will need monthly to live a modest lifestyle. I understand that there are western style restaurants that cost roughly the same as here in USA, but we would probably only eat there once a week. Also, I will need to look a flight from LAX to Shanghai and any suggestions on airlines, where to look, tips, etc. And, if you have any tips that are a must they would be gretly appreciated.
