It's very low! You can even leave your bike unlocked and your keys on it, and they'll still be there when you get back. The facial recognition cameras help a lot with that.
What's the street food like?
It's amazing! I tried all sorts of things, like duck feet, Chinese burgers, dumplings, and sticky rice cakes. It was all delicious and very affordable.
How common are electric cars in Shanghai?
Really common! I'd guess around 40%, and it makes the city much quieter and cleaner.
What's a typical supermarket like in Shanghai?
It's a mix of familiar and unfamiliar things. They have lots of fresh produce, but not much cheese. The prices are interesting to compare to what I'm used to in Germany.
What was the most surprising thing you found?
Probably how safe the city is, and how easy it is to pay for everything with an app. Also, the $1 haircuts!
