@%#$ pprune, waste of time and you will have to wade through pages of negative garbage.
I've been based out of Shanghai with GWL for a couple of years. Great city with a great lifestyle. Medical you have likely allready comleted, and I imagine the ATP exam as well since you are about to make the treck.
Any direct questions, housing/education etc. you're welcome to PM me. I had a flat just off the river on Pudong side and I can likely recommend a good comlex if you let me know what you are interested in (near schools or pubs?).
You'll love it mate. Best of luck. Don't be afraid to PM eh.
