A day of spending in Shanghai

RMB30 - tuna sandwich & sparkling water at Starbucks at noon
RMB55 - Ayi to clean the 1,000 sq ft place, do dishes and laundry
RMB32 - taxi from our apartment at Nanjing Road West to Hongqiao Marriott
RMB89 - a Gin Martini at the Marriott lounge while waiting for Audrey to finish her biz meeting
RMB11 - taxi to Gubei 3911 for supper
RMB189 - supper
RMB25 - taxi back home after supper

The total comes to: RMB431 (CAD63.32); this amount is more than half of average people earn in Shanghai. Of course, I have not factored in the RMB4.50 for my late lunch. ;-)

Shanghai is another big city; you can spend the money if you are not careful.
