Shanghai is awesome even without the flying, plenty to see and do. Can't wait for my next trip there.
I know. I'm in Shanghai now, have been here for most of this year, but every 6 weeks or so I get to go home for a week. To continue the project I work on, would mean moving here.
If I move to Shanghai saving the time is a much bigger issue than saving the $$. Back home it will be the other way around
