Question from Zlatko:
I am staying in Shanghai for a few days and would like to buy some table tennis (TT) equipment (rubbers, blades, t-shirts, ETC.). Thus, I feel free to kindly ask you to give me the information where could I find some proffessional TT stores because I cannot find them on the Internet. I thought there would be such a store at every corner but it seems I was quite wrong. Would appreciate 2-3 addresses (if possible nearby Jing’an district). Thank you very much. Read More…
Question from Andrew:
Hello, Hoo,
I’ve been in Shanghai a little over a month now and am currently looking for a mini golf course in Shanghai. I googled it and found www.luckygreens.com but unfortunately they have been shut down since 2007. Would you happen to know of any nice indoor or outdoor mini golf courses in Shanghai? Thanks in advance for your help.
Answer from Hoo:
Hi, Andrew. Yes, you are right, the Lucky Greens mini golf, which used to be in Cloud 9 Mall near Zhongshan Park is now closed. I did a bit research and asked some of my golfer friends about mini golf course in Shanghai. Unfortunately I am afraid there isn’t any real mini golf course in Shanghai at the moment. Read More…
Question from Sandy:
I plan to go to Putuoshan in September and it seems that ferry would be the best way. I don’t want the fast one from Lu Chao Gang as I am afraid that I would be sick. So I decide to go with the normal ferry from Wusong Dock in Baoshan. Do you know where I can buy the ferry tickets in downtown? I know I can always go to Baoshan to buy the tickets, but I just don’t bother to go all the way up there.
