Preface: Tips

*** While I myself prefer to go adventuring with a friend, I encourage you to not let a lack of available travel buddies keep you from going anywhere. Go solo! Make use of your connections, however loose. I stayed with an acquaintance living in Shanghai, and I’m really glad I did.

*** Before going ANYWHERE make sure you’ve got a good map, and one that can be used offline, too. Try Ulmon, a free offline map of Shanghai.
