Hello everyone,
I just arived in Shanghai yesterday and I will be working here as an English teacher for atleast a year.
It's my day off and it's such a beautifull day and I am stuck in my room because I don't know where to go, how to get there or how to get back to my appartment and I have no friends to enjoy my time with.
I would like to meet English speakers, and If you also speak Chinese that's great, I could definitely do with some help!
Would be nice to meet someone close to my age, I'm 23.
Like to go sightseeing, go for drinks, shop.. anything really
** I live near Tangzhen station, line 2 **

Hi Faylee and everyone!
I just arrived in Shanghai on Saturday and will be interning here for 2 months. I feel the exact same as you Faylee in your post!! I've already managed to get lost in the my first two days and would love to meet up with some English speaking people or if you can speak both, even better! I'm orginally Chinese but I was born and raised in the UK, so my Mandarin speaking skills are very poor! I'm 21 and would love to meet up to do some sightseeing or something!

hi faylee,
Greetings from Nantong, Jiangsu. I moved here just last Thursday and like you know nobody. So know exactly how you feel. Good news though, i used to life in Shanghai (briefly). get yourself over to this site.
smartshanghai.com
There you will find all need to survive in Shanghai. it even has lists of events, bars and restaurants there, and the best thing is you can request the site to send you a text message to yor phone with the Chinese addresses so you can show a taxi driver.

Roger...there are lots and lots of Paisanos en Shanghai, lo unico que tienes que hacer es darte una vuelta por las malls y lugares turisticos, siempre encontraras un paisano perdido por China. Yo soy de Veracruz vivo en Baoding, en ocasiones visitamos Shanghai, la ultima vez conoci una pareja de maestros en un restaurante, la pasamos bien, no tendras problema alguno en hacer amistades, ademas si hablas ingles, tienes toda una muchedumbre por conocer, extranjeros y chinos por igual.
Un saludo.
Hi X-Trekker,
As this is the anglophone forum could you please post in English only?
Thanks

Hello! I am a 23 years old italian girl, I arrived in SH last month, and I am really enjoying the city life. Since I am attending a university course here, I feel like I have little time to go out to party or sightseeing during the week, and I really would love to meet new people to hang out with in order to make this experience even more beautiful. If you are up for partying together, meet up for a beer or sightseeing, let me know, this is my wechat: Ire_Ne91
