    When I was earning 30,000 a month, I didn't think Shanghai was all that vibrant either. Once my income increased, Shanghai became truly awesome.

      Why are you dropping such inconvenient truths? Shanghai belongs to the rich!

        Shanghai is stratified; those without money simply don't experience the same world or see the same sights as the wealthy do.

          That's true for any city, really.

            Just a tad more prosperous than your Liaoning, perhaps.

              Hmm, not so sure about that.

                Well, if you insist on comparing it to an international metropolis like Liaoning, then obviously Shanghai can't compete!

                  No need for such blatant sarcasm.

                    If you're rich, it's 'Magic City' (Modu). If you're not, it's just Shanghai.

                      That's what everyone who hasn't been to Lujiazui says.

                        If you don't have money and aren't inclined to seek out fun and entertainment, then even if you live and work in a supposedly great place, its vibrancy will still feel irrelevant to you.

                          I didn't find Nanjing particularly fun when I lived there either, not until I quit my job and actually took the time to explore and enjoy it.

                            Perhaps you just haven't experienced the truly vibrant parts of it yet.
