Shanghai: Still Can't Get Over Its Charm. Not Even a Little.

[Ethel Morissette]

Please, all you 'hustle kings,' just don't stay here, I'm begging you!

[Glenn Ryan PhD]

But people in Shanghai can be quite aloof, and the older women ('aunties') there can be really blunt and hurtful. I never felt any genuine human warmth in that city.

[Joseph Thompson]

I don't think it's necessarily aloofness; perhaps it's just politeness, maintaining a comfortable distance. Some people aren't used to being greeted with overt enthusiasm right off the bat.

[Mr. Otis Schaefer]

OMG, do I want to go to China? Goodness, am I actually thinking about going to China?

[Mr. Carlton Johnston]

Welcome to China! I'm sure you're going to have a wonderful trip here.

[Leslie Kunde]

@playcat Not sure if this MANNER coffee place has gotten popular yet.

[Danielle Purdy-Weimann]

Hahahaha, you go check it out for us!

[Mr. Jody Bednar]

And outside my window.

[Abel Schulist MD]

Shanghai isn't actually that 'dog-eat-dog' anymore, though the cost of living is certainly high.

[Lucia Feest]

Locals probably aren't caught up in the intense competition, right?

[Emma Kihn]

@Dududada I genuinely love this.

[Theodore Wiza]

What a beautiful view from this angle! So golden.
