Spring temperatures vary between 4°C/40°F and 13°C/55°F. The summer months tend to be extremely hot and humid. Autumn is usually sunny and dry. Winter months are often cold and rainy, with January being the coldest month of the year. What to Wear Known as the “Paris of the Orient,” Shanghai has long been known for fashion. The reality is that dress in Shanghai is casual. July – August are extremely hot so wear light comfortable clothing. Winters are mild so leave your heavy wool clothing at home. Security The crime rate in China is low in relation to the US and Europe. Although crimes against foreigners are uncommon, bag snatching and burglaries are on the increase. You should make sure that your house or apartment has good security. It is time consuming to replace passports, identity papers, driver’s licenses and other important documents, so keep them well protected. Identification should be carried at all times. We encourage you to register at your consulate soon after you move to Shanghai so the consulate will have a copy of your passport on file and can replace it if necessary. The consulate will also assist registered citizens, in case of emergency evacuation. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

A 15% surcharge is normally added to the bill in expensive and hotel restaurants. It is not usual to tip in purely Chinese settings. Electricity The standard electrical current is 220 volts and 50 cycles. The configuration of the plugs differs from one location to the next and often even within the apartment or villa. Local stores sell adapters. Drinking Water Tap water is not drinkable in Shanghai so Landlords generally provide a water dispenser. 19L bottles of purified or mineral water can be delivered to your home. Local Time China has one time zone. Shanghai is eight hours ahead of GMT (London) and thirteen hours of EST (New York) during wintertime and respectively seven and twelve hours during summertime. Weights and Measures China has converted to the metric system but a domestic system is also in use. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The set rules and formalities for every occasion are probably the most confusing to Westerners. By ensuring that no-one “loses face” in any given situation, the methods of interaction at meals, meetings and during business discussions, are preset, allowing for few surprises. Similarly when receiving guests they should be accorded deferential preference according to their status in the hierarchy. Departing guests should always be accompanied to the door of the office. Chinese Language Shanghainese generally speak Mandarin (Putonghua) Chinese (the official language of the government) and Shanghai dialect. While there are many different spoken dialects in China, there is only one written language. A beginners course in Mandarin, whilst not essential, will certainly be useful. Chinese Currency The Chinese currency is called Renminbi (meaning People’s Currency) and it is abbreviated as RMB. It is denominated in yuan, referred to as “kuai” in everyday speech. The yuan is divided into ten jiao (colloquially called mao). Each jiao is in turn divided into 10 fen. There are both paper notes and coins for 1 and 2 yuan.

A tourist visa is only valid for 3-months and you will need to leave the country (most people go to Hong Kong) in order to obtain another tourist visa if your residence permit has not been processed during the 3-month period. After the residence permit is obtained, you may apply for dependant permits/visas for your spouse and children. Residence Permit & Multi-Entry Visa Each expatriate residing in Shanghai for more than 3 months is required to obtain a residence permit (also valid as multiple entry visa). You are legally required to carry your passport containing the residence permit with you at all times. The residence permit must be renewed annually.

There is a chance that the Customs officials will allow the animal into the country before residency formalities are completed but this is taking a risk. AIRLINE REQUIREMENTS American carriers require advance notice that you are traveling with a pet. The pet needs to be transported in a pet carrier approved by the FAA. Small dogs and cats are usually permitted to travel in the passenger cabin if the pet carrier can fit under the seat. Only one pet can travel in the passenger cabin at any one time so reserve a place for your pet early. Check with your airline to determine health certificate requirements. During the winter and summer months, it is advisable to check with your air carrier if there are temperature travel restrictions for your pets. Below or above certain temperatures some American carriers restrict travel for larger pets traveling in the cargo hold of the aircraft. We understand that it may not be safe for pets to travel in the lug-gage hold of Chinese airlines because in some cases they are not pressurized. Check with your airline prior to departure. CERTIFICATES If you are planning to bring a pet to China you need to obtain the following certificates: Vaccination Certificate This certifies that all shots are up to date. This certification can be included in the health certificate. 3-Year rabies vaccinations are not recognized in China. Vaccinations should be within 30 days of departure. Health Certificate A veterinarian in your home country should issue this certificate. There is no standard form for China so your veterinarian should use the international certificate. This certificate should be issued no more than 30 days prior to your departure. Obtain multiple copies as you will also need copies for your airline. ● ● FEES The current fee is 600 RMB (approximately USD70) for cats and small dogs. Fees for larger dogs are higher. Check with your moving company for the fees applicable to your pet. You may wish to arrange for a representative from your moving company to meet you at the airport as the fees must be paid in RMB upon arrival in China. Pet Supplies Cat litter, flea collars and some pet food is available in Shanghai. If your pet requires a special diet, you should arrange for a sufficient supply to be sent with your air and/or sea shipments. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This office is located between luggage collection and the exit. Ask your moving company to notify this office in advance that you will be arriving with your pet to ensure that there is someone in the office. There is a 30 day quarantine period. In most cases it is requested that your pet will stay for this period at a Chinese Government approved kennel, Jialiang k-9 Kennel in Pudong (address details are mentioned in previous paragraph) is probably most suitable for this. They can also assist in arranging all the appropriate paperwork for your pet prior to arrival in Shanghai. Bring a First Aid Kit with you to China including antibiotics, worm medicine, rabies and distemper vaccine. Your veterinarian at home can advise you on what to bring. See our services section for the name of a veterinarian who can treat your pet and provide annual vaccinations. Exit from China Within fifteen (15) days before leaving China, the pet-owner must go back to the “Dong Zhi Wu Jian Yan Suo” and should bring the following along: The dog or cat Vaccination Certificate (see entry requirements) During the visit the pet will undergo examination. Once the dog or cat passes the physical exam, the office issues a Certificate of Health. Please take the Certificate of Health to the airport, veterinarians at the airport will inspect your papers and upon acceptance, release your pet for departure. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

It is polite for the host to order the food. Guests should not make any requests and should eat whatever the host orders. It is usual for several meat, fish and vegetable courses to be served. Soup and rice will be served toward the end of the meal. Guests wait for the host to begin and if signaled to do so will help themselves. The piece of food closest is chosen. It is not polite to reach across the table or stand up to reach other dishes even if the table is very large. When your chopsticks touch a piece of food that piece must be taken. A serving spoon may be provided, if not chopsticks are used to place food into the bowl before eating. Often a sauce will accompany a dish. Use chopsticks to dip the food into the sauce. If food has been sampled do not dip again. Take one piece of food at a time and allow guests an equal share. It takes time to be skilled with chopsticks to eat meat with bones. Bones may be removed from the mouth with the help of chopsticks and placed on the plate or neatly on the table. Do not take the last piece of food from the serving dish. It is a signal to the host that not enough food has been ordered and that guests are still hungry. Even when the host insists, it should not be taken. It is considered bad luck to turn whole fish (head and tail in tact) over, when serving. Sometimes a chicken dish or a fish dish will arrive with the head on the serving plate. The head may point to the guest of honor. Chinese people do not usually use their hands for eating. There are a few exceptions to this rule including shrimps that need peeling. Shrimp skins are placed on the plate. Waiters will change the shrimp course plates often and a communal finger bowl will be placed on the table. Sometimes wet napkins will be passed around for cleaning hands. Chinese guests may leave the table promptly after eating a meal; usually at 8:30. Follow the hosts lead. An indication for the guests that the meal is close to its end is when a fruit platter is served. Depending on the season this can be watermelon, apple or orange. Allow the person who invited you to dinner to pay for the meal. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

They should include the company name and position or title. Both hands are used to present and accept cards, these should be printed in English and Chinese. The cards should be placed on the meeting table in front of you. When a name card is presented to you in a social setting, you should take a few moments to study the card as a sign of respect. Punctuality is expected and important. Tea or coffee is offered to visitors and it is polite to accept even if unwanted. Visitors are escorted to reception areas or elevators by their host. Business entertaining is almost always in restaurants and hospitality should be returned. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Nowadays most things can be found in Shanghai. However imported goods are in most cases more expensive than locally produced products. Please don’t forget to bring some personal items as well that will make your new house feel like your home, like family pictures, favorite paintings, special Christmas ornaments or your child’s favorite books/videos. The following guidelines will give you an idea of what is available, what is substantially more expensive and what is more difficult to find in Shanghai. Records and Paperwork Bring any important records or paperwork that you may need. Do not bring the originals, but have certified copies made in your country of origin.

Be sure to make photocopies of all documents such as passports, drivers licenses etc. Make additional copies of your checklist; keep one for yourself and leave others with the appropriate people. Inventory Here are some things to consider when preparing your inventory: 1. Take photographs or a make a video of all your furniture. This is the best way to prove damages in the event of a loss. 2. Your inventory should be very explicit (i.e. 12 breakfast knives, 12 dinner spoons etc.) for items being imported into China. 3. Make your inventory room by room. 4. Date the inventory and make several copies. 5. Have your valuables appraised by a qualified person. 6. Leave a copy of your inventory with a family member. 7. Record all bank account information (including credit card numbers) and leave a copy with a family member. Rent a safe deposit box. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In Shanghai, ATM’s are almost on every corner of the main streets in downtown area. You can use your foreign bank card, Chinese banks will not charge anything extra for the transaction and you receive the official exchange rate. Most foreign bank charge a small transaction fee for each withdrawal made in China. Insurance When informing your insurance companies of your move, check whether you are entitled to a refund for your car and household insurance. Check whether they will insure your goods in China and make sure your medical insurance includes emergency evacuation coverage. Insurance on personal items is available in China. Will If you have not prepared a will, now is a good time to do so. If you already have a will, you may want to review it with your legal counsel. Consider appointing a legal guardian for your children and write a letter of instruction. Remember to stipulate any funeral arrangements and provide any details on organ donation. Keep a copy for yourself and leave one with your legal counsel. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Toilets can be primitive – carry your own tissues and moist towels. Toilets in tourist hotels are usually the best and the cleanest. It’s best to buy fruits and vegetables that can be peeled, if this is not possible you can alternatively wash your vegetables with a special kind of dishwasher which is also suitable for fruit and vegetables and rinse thoroughly before eating. Never drink tap water unless you are certain it is safe to do so. Some of the hotels and apartment complexes have water purifying systems, but please check with the management before drinking it. Large 18 Liter Bottles of purified water are usually available through the management of each housing compound. VACCINATIONS AND IMMUNIZATIONS Whilst no vaccinations are compulsory to enter China, it is advisable to be immunized against poliomyelitis, tetanus, and typhoid. Immunization against Hepatitis A and B is strongly recommended as is stressed below. Most people complete immunization prior to arriving in Shanghai; however immunization is possible upon arrival. HEPATITIS A Hepatitis A is a virus which usually causes acute illness when caught, from which it can take 6-12 weeks to recover. It is spread in a similar manner to typhoid and cholera, by contaminated water, food (particularly shell fish) and poor hygiene. HEPATITIS B This is prevalent in Asia as a result of the local population’s high incidence of carriers of the virus that causes Hepatitis B. It is spread by contact with body fluids including saliva. The virus can live for several days after leaving the body. In the West only certain groups in society are at risk of Hepatitis B (medical workers, drug addicts, the sexually promiscuous, etc.) but the high “carrier rate” in Asia puts everyone at risk. Vaccination against Hepatitis B consists of a series of 3 vaccinations, which gives 5 or more years protection. This is strongly recommended for all people living or traveling in Asia and especially those who are planning to spend more than 12 months in China. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Malaria is not a problem in Shanghai, but it does exist in some southern parts of China. Care should be taken to avoid mosquito bites, especially in rural areas. The risk of mosquito bites is greatest at dusk and at night so it is best to wear a repellent, or cover up well with long sleeves. Perfume, after-shave and dark colored clothing are said to be attractive to mosquitoes. Burning mosquito coils or buying a mosquito net will keep mosquitoes away. Respiratory Infections Coughs, colds and sinus trouble are the most common ailments, especially during the winter. People with asthma and/or other chronic chest conditions such as bronchitis may have increased difficulties in China.

Most provide sports facilities, a clubhouse and a shuttle bus to major expat shopping areas. Older Villas These are very difficult to find and much sought after. They are usually near the City center and were built between 1920 and 1940. They offer a lot of charm, but they also require a great deal of Full Service Luxury Apartments There are several of these developments in Shanghai. Foreign developers or joint venture companies generally build these. Most offer hotel style service including housekeeping, fitness centers and concierge services. Standard Apartments These offer basic expat style housing. Usually they do have a clubhouse with swimming pool and/or other fitness facilities. Lane Housing Chinese Lane Housing is similar to townhouses in the US. You will probably be the only foreigner in your compound, but they offer a taste of the local culture that you will not find in any other style of housing.

These points will play an important part in negotiations with the Landlord. What renovations need to be completed? Generally Landlords will repaint the walls, refinish the floors, and inspect electrical circuits and plumbing fixtures. If the apartment does not include an oven, the Landlord will usually agree to install one. What electrical appliances do you require? Generally Landlords will provide two television sets and one DVD-player. Standard kitchen appliances include a refrigerator, washing machine, dryer and microwave. Dishwashers are available in most villas, but many apartments do not offer them. Tap water is not recommended for drinking so you will need to request a water machine. Most larger compounds offer several Western TV channels. However it is recommended to check this and if it is not provided you can ask the landlord to install a satellite receiver. How many telephone lines do you require? Most residences provide only one telephone line. A second one is usually available upon request, but it may take 30 days for the line to be connected. Most landlords provide an ADSL connection. The term of the lease. One year Tenancy Agreements are most common. The rental you are willing to pay. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Tel: (8621) 2401 1200 Fax: (8621) 5403 7430 YOUR RELOCATIONS ADVISOR 4.3 This clause enables you or your employer to break the lease after a set period of time. Most Landlords are willing to include this clause, however the monthly rental will be slightly higher. Our property agents are all experienced negotiators who understand current market conditions and will work on your behalf to achieve the best possible lease terms. After a verbal agreement on the terms has been reached, an Offer Letter detailing all of the major terms that will be included in the Tenancy Agreement is sent to the Landlord and your company. After both parties have agreed on the terms of the Offer Letter, your company pays a deposit (usually in the amount of 2 months rental) to the Landlord. In many cases the property will not be taken off the market until the deposit has been paid. Therefore once you have made your decision and the terms have been agreed to, it is important to for the deposit to be made as soon as possible. The lease terms will be written in English and Chinese. Our office and your company will review the final agreement. Under Chinese law, the Chinese version is the official version of the lease and the one that will be relied on in the event of a dispute. The lease will be signed and chopped by your company and the Landlord. Due to local tax requirements, your company will retain the signed copy. MOVING IN TO YOUR NEW HOME Prior to your arrival, our property agent will inspect the property to ensure that all of your requests have been taken care of and that all appliances are in good working order. Your home will be handed over to you on the lease start date. The Landlord’s representative will meet you as will our property agent when you move in. At this time we will ask you to confirm that all renovations have been completed to your satisfaction. The Landlord’s representative will give you the keys to your new home, read the utility meters and also make a list of any defects. We will also check the furniture list. RENTER’S INSURANCE Landlord’s generally insure the common areas and the building structures. Rental insurance is available from several companies in Shanghai.

You will find an amazing selection in the various shops and warehouses in the city. We advise you to visit a few different shops before purchasing so that you can get a sense of the style and variety of furniture and craftsmanship they carry. Bargaining is part of buying antiques, especially in the street markets. There are lots of great bargains but be aware of fakes, there are lots around. If you plan to collect Chinese antiques you should understand the current laws regarding the export of antiques from China. Any item more than 40 years old will need to have a “red seal” before it can be exported. The red seal is your guarantee that you can take your purchase out of China. Keep all purchase receipts. Red seals can be affixed and appraisals carried out (for a fee) at the Cultural Relics Bureau, prior to leaving China. You can arrange for an inspector to inspect your purchases and advise which articles need seals. The inspector can fix seals as appropriate. Many people prefer to have the seals affixed during the course of their stay rather than during the busy period just prior to departure. Those who already own Asian antiques should check to make sure they will not have any problems exporting them at the end of their assignment. Anything over 100 years old is considered to be an antique by the Chinese government and therefore, may be restricted from leaving the country.

Be careful how much you deposit though as it is difficult to convert it back to foreign currency.

To open a local bank account you need to go to the bank in person, they will ask you to fill out an application form and should bring your passport along. Foreign passport holder can apply for a multi-currency bank account, but please check with the bank of your choice first if they require a minimum deposit. After opening an account you will receive a passbook and an ATM- card. With the ATM-card you can only directly access your RMB savings, to access your foreign currency savings you need to visit the bank with your passbook, ATM-card and your passport.

Watch out for loose tiles which are difficult to see at night. Crossing the road like a local take practice. A pedestrian crossing offers no safety; cars will not stop for you.

The traffic is heavily congested and many of the local drivers are inexperienced. Cyclists and Pedestrians are generally undisciplined and often ignore traffic lights. The best way to avoid accidents is to drive slowly and defensively. In the event of a traffic accident involving personal injury, Chinese law requires the following: Injured people should be immediately taken to the hospital The scene of the accident should be preserved and the police should be called. Those involved should wait at the scene of the accident until the police arrive If an accident occurs and there is no personal injury the parties may agree amongst themselves at to the cost of the damages and settle the case themselves on the spot. This course of action may jeopardize any insurance claims. License plate restrictions to city areas. Be aware of traffic restrictions for certain license plates. Certain plates may not go into the city centre during certain days or hours. Motor Vehicle Control Service Centre, Zhong Sahan Bei Yi Lu No. 870.

While you may not have enjoyed this service back home, it is certainly a great help in Shanghai. Finding an English speaking aiyi is not always possible, but if you are willing to work with the person, you will find even a non-English speaking person is a great help. It is the best to find one who has previously worked for a foreigner. The best way to find a good one is through ‘word of mouth’. It is important to get a reference from the previous employer. It is important to remember that many of our household appliances are not common in a Chinese home (i.e. a dishwasher) so you may need to explain how to use them. To enjoy the benefit of an aiyi, it is very important to instruct her in your way of doing things. Do not presume that she will know. For example, in Chinese households dishes are washed in cold water, often without soap, and dried with a damp towel. Diplomatic Service Bureau Technically diplomatic personnel are required to hire their aiyi’s through this agency, however many recruit their own staff.

The YMCA charges a referral fee of RMB 200 (approximately USD24.00). A 3-month probation period is offered for all referrals. Maids usually earn USD100-125 a month. They work 6-8 hours a day and 5 or 6 days a week. They expect a bonus of one month’s salary at Chinese New Year. They also expect all major Chinese holidays, at least 3 days holiday for Chinese New Year and possibly the holidays of the country of the employer. BABY-SITTERS Many people with small children employ a “Baby Ayi “ to care for the children in addition to their housekeeper. These nannies expect to work evenings.
