Today, the air was more crisp and "clean" than it has been here in Shanghai during my visit. Since I was here in 2005 and 2002 I can therefore say that I have some clear impressions of the life here in Shanghai, and how it has changed in my eyes.
- More stuff to buy; before.. there were a lot of 'crappy' stores, but now its better
- Inflation; the price tags on the stuff you would like to buy is more or less the same to Scandinavia (example, a nice pair of Nike sneakers, easily 700-800 RMB)
- More cars; constant traffic jams
On the other hand, I have found a great tailor who is recommended by the Norwegian consulate. Some other tailors that I have been to here before have charged very high prices - but the quality have been extremely good. Well, Shirley masters English and has predominantly western clients. Here are the details of here whereabouts in Shanghai. (
Price examples: Western suit, 2 pcs, approximately 700 RMB greatly depending on the fabric, shirt - 100 RMB depending on the fabric, the bow ties - together with a big handkerchief for suit pocket 80 RMB). She operates a stand, and most often, these stands have an extremely bad sense of quality, service, finish and understanding of western fashion and fit. Shirley is good.. a better report on that later.
