Welcome!!!

Dear Friends of Dulwich, The Welcome Committee is pleased to present this 2014-2015 edition of Shanghai Secrets: your guide to finding what you need in Shanghai. It isn’t an exhaustive list, but it is a great start if you’ve just moved to Shanghai (and even if you’ve lived here for a few years you may find something new!). We hope you’ll be able to feel settled in Shanghai a little bit faster by using this knowledge. It has been assembled from many different sources over a number of years. And we look forward to hearing about any updates you might have for next year’s edition. Welcome to Shanghai! Ready, set, enjoy!

Yours truly, Friends of Dulwich Welcome Committee

Good Apps & Websites Apps

• Baby 120 – Uses your location to direct you to the nearest hospitals

• CamCard – Stores, sorts and catalogues all those cards you collect!!

• Taxi Guide • Hi Shanghai Taxi • Smart Shanghai • Pleco – Chinese Translation (into both Pinyin and

characters) • Shanghai Taxi Guide – Costs $4.99, but quite extensive • Sohu and Youku - Do you have shows from home you miss

and the VPN streaming is just too slow? Download these apps and you will can find many shows (often the day after they air in your home country, Mad Men, Downton Abbey, Greys Anatomy, to name a few). No need for a VPN, in fact this will not work outside of China. Now you don’t even need to buy the DVD or buy it on iTunes. Might be helpful to have a Chinese speaker help you initially, but even if you just play around and you will be amazed what your find. You do need to know a few simple Chinese characters, but once you do you will be hooked!
