This Is Shanghai: What It’s Like to Live in the World’s Most Populous City

This is Shanghai is a first hand account of expat life in a huge Chinese metropolis. It’s a guidebook, but instead of showing you where to eat and what museums to go to, Alexander Barrett takes you on a wild ride through the incredibly old, futuristic, and just plain strange sights, sounds, and experiences he’s come across in the first year in the city. With its light, humorous style, this book is perfect for anyone who is planning a travel or move to Shanghai, or just a window into another fascinating world.
