Default Re: Ask Imitation about 2years in China
Hi guys,

I am a student in my young 20's and I am going to be working this summer in Shanghai. I don't speak any Chinese.

Do you recommend I try to cram some of the basics in or just memorize the most important phrases?

What would you say is the best area to live in the city? I don't want to be in tourist central but I also don't want to be too far from "downtown".

I read that one of the largest universities is in Shanghai (Fudan). Is that a good place to find girls, people my age and parties?

Although I will be based in Shanghai, I plan to take trips out of the city on weekends. What would you say are must do's (Great Wall, Beijing... etc)?

Any other tips would be great!
