I was just in Shanghai last weekend, too bad

The weather there was absolutely terrible though. The temperature wasn't much worse than in Beijing, but the humidity was insane. I wonder why, because last year I was there around the same time and it didn't feel too bad then. Anyway, hope you guys aren't as bothered by the weather as I was. Should be a good time if you aren't.

I'm in the Jing An district. i'm within walking distance to the shanghai center, aka the portaman. the shanghai center is on Nanjing Lu and there is everything on this street. If you say por-ta-man to any taxi driver around here he will know where to go.

Nanjing Lu runs all the way down to the Bund (where all those famous riverside pictures are taken of Shanghai) so it's really easy to find. If you can grab yourself a map we can agree on a cross-street of Nanjing Lu and meet there. I was told that there is a really cool market on Nanjing Lu with the street address 748 Nanjing Lu, but I really have no clue where it is in relation to the shanghai center other than that it's east of it. I've heard of a few clubs around the shanghai center that are frequented by a lot of younger folks like us, so if you want to explore those later we definitely can.

You said you know the subway lines which is good cause there are an almost infinite amount of terminals all over Nanjing Lu so it should be easy to find.

well i'm looking at a metro map and it looks like Line 2 basically runs underneath Nanjing Lu, and has a bunch of stops on it. The one i am most familiar with/know how to get to, is the Jing An temple stop. the shanghai center is just a short walk away from that and we can explore from there.
