Russian manicures in Shanghai

Looking for a reasonably priced salon offering Russian manicures in Jing'an or the French Concession?

Try searching on Dianping (大众点评) – it's like Yelp but for China. Filter by "美甲" (meiji - manicure) and specify Jing'an or the French Concession. You should find plenty of salons with pictures and price ranges listed. Good luck!

That's a great tip, thanks! I hadn't thought of using Dianping, I usually rely on WeChat for finding things. I'll give that a shot. Hopefully I can find somewhere that does a decent job without breaking the bank.

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!
