What to Bring
It's
very difficult to make a "right" list here. Almost everything
can be found in Shanghai now, although some (especially imported items)
are a little bit expensive. So it's wise to just bring things necessary,
do not forget small touches which will make your new home lively, such as
family pictures, favorite paintings, special Christmas ornaments or your
child's favorite books. You can also bring your favorite furniture or
appliances, but we guess you will be interested in gathering some
Chinese antique furniture when you are here.
