What shall I miss about Shanghai?

1. The speed at which it has grown/developed, is growing and continues to grow.
2. The variety
3. The buzz
4. The foreigness of it all
5. The tai chi outside on the pavement at 7pm in the dark.  Neighbours gather to exercise.
6. The smiling welcoming faces of the locals
7. The many dear friends I have made.

Oh for F@ck’s sake!

1. Electric Scooters cutting you up on the pavement
2. Spitting
3. Coughing over meat by a stallholder in the wet market – several times
4. Being sick on the metro
5. Picking their noses on the metro
6. Taking no notice of green lights at pedestrian crossings
7. Cycling the wrong way down streets
8. Getting on the metro whilst you are trying to get off
9. Walking into you because they have headphones on and are staring at a screen whilst walking
10. Emptying their nostrils into public bins
11. The way live fish are treated, and turtles and frogs, and birds
12. People with expensive cars trying to run you over
13. No volume control
14. Standing still at the top of an escalator

Am I going to come back?  But not with a swear box.  It would be too expensive.
