Shanghai - been there?
 

Anyone ever been to Shanghai? How's the price-level there? porn-laws in china? nightlife? tell me :helpme

you asking about the porn laws in a communist country?
i wouldnt shoot there. :Oh crap

just go to bangkok.. :pimp

I've only been to ex-communist countries? so no cuba-porn either?

theres so many other places to shoot that can't get you into any troubles. =\

i always wanted to shoot in bangkok but iam not about to fly my happy ass there. it would be so damn cheap to shoot movies there with all the $10 ho's.

there is no word for porn in china

Been there done that. Life is VERY cheap there for some stuff but very expensive for other things.

IE:

You can get a case of beer (24 bottles) for like 1$.
But a drink in the "foreigners" clubs cost you 8$/pint.

Rent is kind of expensive too, you can count on 500$/month for a decent apartment.

Been to a jazz bar once, didn't see the tab until the end of the nigh. Was drinking with 2 other people and we payed around 300$/night. ouch!

Oh, and go load up your suitcase full of DVDs, you can get all the recent ones for like 1 or 2$/piece...

Would love to go back!

But don't do porn ;-)

nope, haven't been there.

thx for the info!:thumbsup

Going to China is on my 'must do before I die' list but I wouldn't shoot porn there as I don't want to speed up the dying bit.

the ppl who offered to shoot in bangkok...as far as i know it's illegal there aswell

you can get away with it if the girls won't rat you to the police...or if you bribe enough ppl...but producing porn is illegal in thailand

im buying shoes from shanghai now:)

i think in a year or so i might go over

Nope, but one of the destinations on my list

if I had the chance to go to china I would visit shanghai aside from beijing

I'm looking forward to visiting China in the future

Shanghai is a very good tourist spot but not good in doing a porn shoot.

price = higher than you probably think
porn = no go - proxie it out
nightlife = average to great - depending on your connections (are you chinese - if no - better have damn good connections)

Chinese porn?! I'd rather go for hentai pics and videos!

The nightlife there is great, alot has changed in the last 5-7 years. Don't work on your sites from there.

Shanghai is one of the places that I want to reach. Aside from the place itself, I would like to know more about Chinese culture.

Great pic, Reynold! :thumbsup

A friend of mine just told me has was there some weeks ago... Europeans/Westerners were treated almost like gods... served first and not hassled whatsoever... they made friends with a nightclub owner and partied till the morning with free drinks and shit whereas chinese people had to leave the clubs at 2am on weekdays...

He told me there was a policeman running into the club in the middle of the night shouting like a madman, then he saw them "AHHHHH; EULOPA!!!! GOOOOOD!!!" and left without another word...

beer war 10 cents a glass and you can also get tons of cheap counterfeit designer clothing like in thailand...

10 cents beer, not sure i would like to give that a try ;-)
