Rent price

I lived in a rented(出租的) flat in Gubei(古北)before， a wonderful place for living, with two bedrooms for RMB 1500 per month. Now I move into a new flat with two bedrooms. It is rented at the price of RMB 2500.

Food price

Fast food: There are two KFC’s, one McDonald’s and two Pizza Huts within a 500-metre area around the building I am working in. RMB 20-30 is enough to get a meal on weekdays.

Local food: There are lots of restaurants in the city. Normal cheap dishes cost about RMB 20, while some expensive ones cost RMB 50-60. So I usually spend about RMB 50-80 for Saturday dinners.

Transportation

Bus: RMB 2 for air-conditioned bus.

Taxi: RMB 14 starting price (起步价)within 3 km and RMB 2.4 for each kilometer more.

Metro: RMB 3 to 9 enough to every comer of the city with no traffic jams.

With the help of many Chinese people, my life in Shanghai is exciting. And it is so interesting that I would never think about leaving it.
