Chongming is a part of Shanghai, it used to a county, now it is a district of Shanghai. Thanks Shirls for bringing us such a warm story. Shanghaiese look down on the people from countryside? it was maybe true many years ago, just like when i was first time in Singapore about few years ago,some people asked me: are you happy in Singapore? you are so lucky to be here, have you ever seen such a modern place before? .... i can understand why they said so, coz they never got a chance to know China, what they had been told by the media was not 100% true. anyway, Happy Valentine's day!

Anyway, I feel nice also listening to your stories, as many honest people are earning very hard to make a living. Next time, try the Magnetic Rail train, which cost only RMB40 per person. Only 7 minutes from Airport to Long Yang Road Subway/Train Station. From this station can take subway, just cost RMB4 per person to Nanjing Road.

Pick pocket, con job, stealing. Lesser of those sex crime like rape and molest. I heard from the local people, men can fulfill their sexual gratification by just paying a small sum, compared to the punishment of the crime. Hence not much of those crime happening. Most murder crime are usually passion crime, involving relationships. Well, hence Shanghai is safe, but watch out for pick pocket !! Well, I heard that most crime are money crime.

I did not know that you can opt not to pay if receipt is not given, and police will arrive within 5 minutes. Knowing all these, make me wonder what's wrong with Malaysia.... Or probably most of the 变态 news in China are censused by the government? Wow ! I did not know that you can opt not to pay if receipt is not given, and police will arrive within 5 minutes.

In Shanghai, all the Meter Taxis must on the meter. And if the Taxi Driver don't give you the receipt or on the meter, you can opt not to pay. Further more, Malaysia's 变态 crimes are a lot more than Shanghai, by the ratio of population. In Shanghai, very seldom heard of rape cases. In Shanghai, at least a Policeman will arrive at the scene of emergency within 5 minutes after phone call. Well, there are many honest people earning honest living in Shanghai, but sometimes those people who lucky to get rich fast and early tends to be very "sombong".

Please don't give me such a big 'hat' lah :) Hee hee.... Thanks for the compliments and your encouragments. I am only writing what I felt at that time. I am glad you like it. Hmmm.....I always dream to writing a book but I don't think I am good enough (yet). I added the 'yet' because I hope I will be ready one day. When that day come, I will send you a copy :) Yinyoon,

Like reading Liu Yong's article. The best part is, no conclusion, no judgement, leave that to the reader. Consider writing a book? :D Interesting and warm story. Like reading Liu Yong’s article.
