Wife and ES kid have been on assignment in Shanghai for the past 5 years. Must say we have a very comfortable/spoiled life. In spite of all negative press about living in China, we have thoroughly enjoyed our stint here. Between private car, nicely furnished house, everything accessible through online apps, great int'l school, friendly work and social environment we don't have much to complain about about current lifestyle. Except I have been asked to up and move to Tokyo area for another (more lucrative) assignment. Fully understand that Shanghai and Tokyo are socially different worlds. We don't speak a lick of Japanese. Looking forward to hear from like minded families on what to expect. Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
