What's it like being a foreigner living and working in Shanghai? Do they all know each other or at least do they all know each other by one or two degrees of separation? Where do they hang out? What do they all have in common? Can they be easily profiled and put into separate categories? Have they all at some point been English teachers? Are they here because they couldn't make it at home? How do they feel about life in China? What challenges do they have to face? What's easier for them than other people? A lot of these answers might surprise you!_x000D_
