Where can I get my coats tailored?

I have a trench coat and the waist needs to be fastened a bit. Does anyone know of a good tailor and the price for this type of adjustment?

Shanghai has tons of tailors! Around the Nanjing Road area you'll find a lot of smaller shops that do alterations – just wander around and check out a few. Expect to pay anywhere from 80-200 RMB depending on the tailor and how much work is involved in taking in the waist of a trench coat. It's a pretty standard alteration, so it shouldn't be crazy expensive. Don't be afraid to haggle a little, too.

Airplane Parking? Or...what's that?

Those numbers look like coordinates. Maybe some kind of geotagging?

Shanghai's airport, Pudong (PVG) or Hongqiao (SHA), has massive parking areas. Those numbers though... yeah, probably coordinates. Maybe a flight tracking app or something? Could be anything really. They're not showing you where to park your airplane, I hope. Unless you're expecting to just roll up in your own private jet. Then, well, different story entirely.

Ha! Yeah, I figured it wasn't my airplane parking. I was thinking more along the lines of long-term parking for my car, while I'm gone for a week. Those coordinates threw me, though. Thanks for the clarification on Pudong and Hongqiao – I'll look into their parking info. Guess I should've been more specific. My bad!
