Question about Shanghai..
-
Hey hey fellow Sgporeans overseas, I'll be going over to Shanghai for the period of July to December ( around 6 months) and would like to ask u guys for enlightment as i have not been away from home for such a long period of time.
1) For a period of 6 mths, what do i have to bring? Clothes/ wrking clothes around how many pieces or u guys render i just bring minimal and then go over to buy more pieces?? I don't quite know the standard of living in Shanghai so if it's lower den Sg perhaps i'll go over to buy i guess.
2) House rental. I'll be most probably be renting a whole house ( hopefully) and staying together with my group of friends. My attachment place is in the business district ( MaoMing street). So Qn is will rental be more expensive in the business district? If yes how much more?
3) How's the price of food and entertainment over there?
4) Lastly, for a period of 6 mths what will be a optimistic amount of $$ in SGD i'll spend?
Sorry for the barrage of questions, I hope i do find enlightment over here. And hey udon if u're reading this thread, yes my sch rejected my appeal for Switzerland and Sweden.
Oh wells, i hope Shanghai will be a blast too!! -
U will need winter clothing as it will be damn cold by then. It can be bad as most house in shanghai dun have heater. But cheaper to get it in Shanghai. As for cost of living, depend what type of life u are looking at, my guess u are just a student as shld not be too bad. X place can cost u like 300sgd for a meal for 2. Whereas u can also get a meal for abt 3 sgd . Plus I miss the special steamboat there, abt 20-25sgd for 5 .
What type of entertainment u are looking at, for me I like foot massage, cost abt 10-15sgd for 90 min.
