So let me re-ask: have any roffians been to SHANGHAI lately, what's it
like,
are there any fishing opportunities there, and what else can you tell me
about it.

I was in Shanghai briefly in the mid 90's. It's a neat place to visit if
you
have money, but the expats I've known who've lived there didn't much like
it.


Hmmm, the school that has openings there is one of the top-paying
international schools, and has openings in all of the areas in which I am
certified, as well as 2 of the 3 areas that SWMBO is certified. My primary
concern is that it will be exclusively an Urban existance, which I have
enjoyed well enough each time I have lived it, but I still will want to see
if I can plan a long weekend to wet a line, dip a paddle or pitch a tent.
Don't know much about life in China. What did your expat associates not like
about it?
