Life in China

Well we all live here so we could hardly not mention it; raising a family far away from family and close friends is no easy task. Add to this language and cultural barriers; regular scares surrounding pollution and food safety; and a health care system you are not familiar with, and it can be pretty hair-raising at times!

In this section we try to help you sort through Life in China – with experts offering advice, and helping you sift through information that may have been lost in translation. We also offer you a print-out of all the pediatric ER rooms in Shanghai in case you ever need them. In addition, check out our pages about vaccinations, registering your baby, and our special travel section full of local family adventures to explore along with your bump and/or your babes!
