It also has 2 large balconies. The decoration is light and airy, and the furniture is a combination of IKEA-type modern pieces and Chinese antique replicas. For amenities, we have a large TV, VCD player, and stereo.
Domestic help comes every day and can do laundry, ironing, and light cooking.
Our complex has a new but minimal gym facility, but swappers could use our other gym, which is large and very nice. Has TVs on every machine, lots of freeweights, and classes in kickboxing and Tai Chi. Shanghai is an amazing city, right on the cusp between the modern West and the traditional East. Once a vibrant, decadent colonial outpost, Shanghai is now trying to hold onto what cultural relics were not destroyed in the Cultural Revolution and move ahead into the 21st century. A fascinating city, and one that is changing so rapidly that in 5 years, it will be completely different.
