    Most of the time booming, overcrowded, and noisy, old and new mixed together, but when you slip to a side alley, and have a dish of dessert with a cup of coffee in hand, you are on top of the world, and this is Shanghai. If there is a flower pot beside you, you'll be in heaven.
    Enjoy your days.

    Left Shanghai in summer 2017 and back the U.S., still missing the happy and young days. Really a magic city, and I am sure the feeling will be different after so many years😊

    The familiar vibe is back! It just so happened that I lived in Xiangyang Rd in 2005. Back then this narrow road was best known for its fake market, called Xiangyang Rd Market, that opened till pretty late. I was more interested in its food stalls offering a variety of local snacks and drinks. Later this little market was torn down to give way to new developments, but all the fond memories stay forever.

    We love your content, coffee, snacks, shops, if you go back to Huangpu, Nanjing Road (E), maybe you can show the foody places on the side streets like Shanxi Road S near the Metropolo Hotel Classic, Nanjing Road (E) to give your opinions? Are they authentic or touristy good or bad , value for money etc, thanks, keep up the GREAT EPISODES.

    I heard that many fake luxury goods come from the same assembly line as the official goods - just lacking proper labelling and certification, which is why luxury goods brands are so interested in block chain certification now as another level of showing off that you bought the genuine article

    • @ExpatNatt
      @ExpatNatt  11 місяців тому

      Wow that’s so interesting, I didn’t know that. Many of these items are really bad knock offs at this market, think Colven Klean instead of Calvin Klein 😅😅

    Interesting video and nice pacing.:) Can't help to notice that the "Shanghairen" covers look identical to The New Yorker magazine to me in terms of its typeface, layout, and the style of the artworks.

    • @ExpatNatt
      @ExpatNatt  10 місяців тому +1

      Yes, that’s the concept! Many cities have a “The New Yorker” style publication, although I’m not sure Shanghai ever had the actual magazine.
