The Rise of Asian Capitalism
Business central of China, Pudong (East) has buildings rising up fast! Spectacular views, beautiful buildings, and great food! Thanks to Chris & Joe for showing us around! of course the attitude of the locals can certainly be improved, but then again what do you expect from a city that is financially better off than most.
When we couldn't find our hotel on our first day, the taxi driver told us to get out in the rain, and just walk around the stadium ourselves to look for it! He didn't accept more $ to drive us around, instead he asked us to get out. Now I know what these people are talking about with their attidudes. Also for next time, Shanghai has a number where you can call to find out how much your taxi ride should cost. If you get charged too much, you then can file a claim, and the taxi company is to pay you triple of what you paid out. So don't worry about taxi driver ripping you off. Oh, BTW, all drivers in China are crazy and aggressive, but the ones in Shanghai are a lot more scary!
Oh, one more thing. When these taxi drivers goes the wrong way and you start arguing who is right or wrong. You will never hear the end of it.
