I almost missed this, wow! I've had a quick look at Live in Shanghai and it's an amazing start. The information needs to be a bit more personal, for instance on the housing section it reads "If you find your preferred houses and the agency which you can trust and rely on..." BUT It doesn't recommend WHO you can trust...for a newcomer in shanghai that would be the most essential information. But I'm glad I've seen this site, I was thinking to make a website about the bus time table...now I won't bother - I will stick to cheap food. www.likealocal.cn

Yes.. its nice piece of work. Good info. Its all shiny and new and current right now. Hopefully it will be maintained and change as Shanghai is changing.

It's happy to see Live in Shanghai finally get online. You can find some very cute stuff like a flash shows how to get a bus ride or a number plate with pronunciation in both mandarin and Shanghainese. Actually I participated in the building of it during this summer as an intern at shanghaidaily.com I gotta say it's not an easy job to make such a site informative,accurate,good-looking and easy-following.

I found this on the Shanghai Daily website yesterday and think it is fantastic. On the subway section you can even print out easy to read charts of the fares instead of trying to read it on the ticket machines. Even has verbal pronunciation of helpful chinese words. Well done to Live in Shanghai
