I think living in Shanghai offers foreigners huge opportunities for learning and fun. I have been in Shanghai with my family since August 2008. I am married and we have a 10 year old son, Nathan and a 7 year old daughter, Emily. Each day is an opportunity for a new adventure. Plus, I love the food, the cheap dvds and the fabulous massages.
