Tips for Traveling in Shanghai

1. There is no voicemail capability. Period. Not on cell phones. Not on land lines. Not even at work. Texting is used alot.

2. Cotton balls do not exist here. Period. They have cotton squares that are a little thicker than tissues (Ladies, it looks like the pre-soaped wash squares that you add water and lather, but a fourth of the size)

3. Never, ever live in an apartment where you can hear your neighbors' every move. Period.
