Hi everyone,

I will be moving to Shanghai on a six-month work assignment this summer.  My company has provided me with a specific budget to cover my rent and I'm trying to see if it's "enough".  I plan to rent a one-bedroom apartment in the downtown area.  Any ideas around average rent and suggestions about best places to live?  Ideally I would like to live near my office, which is in Puxi.  Thanks!

I am preparing to find my own place in a couple months... I've been staying with a friend till now. I've studied a couple lessons on the subjuct but would like more help. Does anyone have any lesson suggestions or useful vocab to add to my preperations?
