The best part about Shanghai are the people that you meet. As Eric says, everyone has one thing in common: they are in Shanghai. While cheesy at first, you really get the point when you are here. There is a a certain energy and openness of meeting new people here. 80%+ of the folks here are out of towners and are there for new experiences and meeting new people. Its quite amazing. Having one business meeting leads to a "you gotta meet this guy" who happens to be 20 minutes away who after you meet, calls two other people to set up meetings who then introduce you to three more people. "Quan shi" in Shanghai as they call it apparently follows the Fibonacci series and soon enough I'm back to back and learning all sorts of new things and making contacts that would facilitate all sorts of future business, let alone future friendships.
