[quote=STLGIRL                 ,11111]Hi there!  Born in shanghai, raised in the US.  I go back every 2-3 years.   You are right, definately be careful, especially of little kids pick-pocketing.  Last time I caught 2 little kids trying to stick their hands into my purse.  One of them came so close I slapped his hand, and he ran away.  Go buy a "money belt" from Wal-Mart, they have a zipper pocket on the inside.  Keep the bigger bills there.  Get a travel belt from any travel store for your passport/visa, credit cards...And watch out for purse/bag snatchers on bikes (i've seen that happen 2 visits ago).  Sounds awful, but if you are careful, you'll be fine.Good places to visit are: bund, jade garden, chenghuang temple, oriental pearl TV tower, xitiandi, People's square, science and technology museum, nanjing road.  If you are not shy, go to a bath house.  Or get a "foot wash/message".Don't worry about language, street signs now contain English.  People are mostly friendly.  If you must ask for directions, try someone from a nice store or restaurant or a nearby hotel.  And remember, the TV Tower resides on the EAST side of the city.Hope you have fun.  Maybe I will see you there - LOL(i'm going in November)![/quote]
