Dear Bro oozeman,
Thanks for taking the trouble to organize a gathering. However, I am not available on 17 Nov, Sorry. The last gathering that I remembered was around March/April at a restuarant near to Jing An Temple (near to your hotel). By the way, I think there isn't a need for you to belanja the meal lah, a good practise should be go on dutch, local call it, A-A style. Sekali, you find whole village of ppl waiting at the restaurant for you.........

Cheers!

Dear Bro SGPshanghai69,

We do not need to 'tuah' you, you are already well known in helping newbies, me included. I benefit alot from your vast experience and freindship, and have learnt a great deal from you.

Keep up the good work!

With best regards from Singapore

Hi Bros,
Pls kindly advise where's the main shopping areas in Shanghai as I wish to get a hotel within walking distance to the shopping streets/Shopping centres. Is it in Puxi or Pudong? Tks!

Preferably if bros could advise of the hotels around these areas. Ta!

Pudong = East of Huang Pu River
Puxi = West of Huang Pu River
Shanghai has 18 districts and 1 county, Putuo is one of the district.

I think the rate is
Room : RMB700~few K
MM : min RMB300, special RMB1K~2.5K
Prob those KTV old birds can clarify, cos my preference is HC.

Your hotel is around the Northeast of Shanghai, near to the bund. Generally not so expensive to take taxi around, should be less than RMB40. Not sure abt that area for discos.

Cheers!

We just got back from 3 day Shanghai, stayed at: -

Magnificent International Hotel
381 Xi Zhang South Road
Shanghai 200085
China

We booked through [email protected] the good thing about this web is that the hotel confirmation is immediate upon payment via credit card. good for last minutes hotel booking. The room for twin share worked out to be around S $ 95, included breakfast.

We found this hotel location to be very handy / central - being around 5 min walk to Hua Hai Road, 15 Min walk to Nanjing Road, approximately the same to the Bund and also Yuey An garden & shopping complex. Also around 10 minutes to walk to metro. Directly below the hotel there are some local shop, eater, foot massage and also sort of night market / food street.

We actually missed out fly back / got the timing wrong , the hotel staff was very helpful in contacting the airline and reschedule another fly on the on the same day for us.

After checking all the pricing for other hotel in Shanghai, our thought was that this is well price for it location. - 2 1/5 stars Room is pretty clean, not much facilities.

Cheers

Suggest you check on this website to find a hotel that suit your needs.
http://www.ctrip.com/
Cos, most districts of shanghai got shopping centres
1) Lu Jia Zui Commercial Centre
2) Nanjing Road (few km)
3) Huai Hai Road (few km)
4) XuJiaHui
5) Hong Qiao
6) Cheng Huang Miao
7) ZhongShan Park
8) Wu Jiao Chang
9) Sichuan North Road
10) Jin Qiao
11) etc..
Prob top 6 would be the more popular sites, still very difficult for us to recommend.

Hi,
What do you mean by Happening? Please elaborate after being here for sometimes, I think got problem to understand English clearly liao.....

FYI, there should be plenty of BBS around your area.

Otherwise, you can take a taxi to 新天地, 茂名路 or 衡山路 Bar/Pub if that is what you mean by happening. Taxi fare abt RMB20+, I think.

Cheers!

P/S: Bros, what is "happening"?
