Visiting Gao's house. Photo ID: Shanghai806A 访问高小姐家。图片号：Shanghai806A. 6 Aug 2006 Among 9 shanghai residents i visited Ms Gao Qian was the nicest to me. 2pm, being baked under the fierce shanghai summer sun, i rung her up asking for the exact location of her house. Gao smelt my confusion: OK Yang, go and find KFC near DongFang building, you just stay there i'll come down and pick you up in 10 minutes. After 13 years of service in the real estate industry, Gao now drives a big HONDA and lives alone in a beautifully decorated 3 room apartment. She belongs to the luckiest group of shanghainese who do not really have to worry too much about living and money. She had them all. Gao was born and grown up in shanghai. As for the general comment on this city, she laughed: no choice, this is my home city, I have used to nearly every dimension of shanghai, though in recent years it has grown explosively beyond my recognition. Anyway, i have to bear with it, good or bad.
