Haven't been to too many places as work has me going 6 days a week.
So far:
Shanghai Museum
The MagLev super fast train
Perry's (College Bar)
French Concession - Speakeasy hidden in the back of a barbershop (I think it was called "Barbershop" - looked like the movie scene of a 1950's NYC gangster movie)
Bar Rouge
Myst? Mist?
Some other bars that I forget the name of --> the trend of "free alcohol for foreigners or "VIP's" gets dangerous for someone with less than ideal self control

Other than that, I enjoy ripping around on my bike (recently stolen from outside a metro station. It's okay I think it was ~10 CAD or 50 "Kuai" - I'll just get a new one on TaoBao and maybe invest in a lock). Everyday is a new adventure and I am constantly finding myself saying "holy shit" or just "wow, amazing". Another favorite phrase we say amongst us foreign coaches (maybe 15 of us in the entire company) is "TIC" (This is China), a phrase that accurately describes day to life and the bureaucracy. Some visa mixups with the government have my work/life in Shanghai on a fine line right now, will update later!

Recently played my first game in the Shanghai Ice Hockey League, a clip of that should be in my next gopro video blog thing! I'd say 2/3 were Canadians and the other 1/3 were either Japanese or locals suprisingly enough. Most of the guys are older and have higher up jobs and are more established in the city for sure. But looking forward to playing games regularly with them, they are also sponsored by Bud and they have 500 cases sitting in storage for after games and celebrations.
