Living in Shanghai: Expat View on Shopping Video
Shanghai is a shopping paradise. Most international brands have stores in Shanghai and the only challenge is to choose between all the options. There are 3 grocery stores that cater to western needs. Also the organic food section is a rising trend in Shanghai amoung expatriates. Most international clothing stores have their flag stores here and offer the fashion items they also offer in other countries. Pay attention to the sizes, Chinese people are usually more petit in contrast to western people, hence most stores do not usually stack bigger sizes. Another item difficult to find for men and women are shoes in their sizes. Most expatriates prefer to buy their shoes at home or in other countries. As an alternative one can have their shoes made at one of the many shoe tailors in Shanghai. Be aware that luxury goods are usually more expensive due to import taxes.
