Ok i just sighned up like 2 minutes ago, this is such a nice idea! so im new enough to shanghai (march 2015) and i work a lot so im finding it super hard to meet people! when i have a day off im known to enjoy a good lie-in and that is not good for the mind! so i would love to meet some new people, especially a fellow irishmen. not that i dont want to mingle but id love to be able to say "yeah sound, so whats the craic" and be understood 
Luck o' the irish!

Welcome to Expat-Blog - a great place to be.
One of the facilities is you can find people using the NETWORK option above. There seems to be a select few from your home country registered in Shanghai.

Hi
I have Oirish roots but my bestie is proper Irish, a Belfast lad.
He loves it here. We are in Xuhui down near Yishan Lu subway.
I'm here with my son and teach at an International school which is great.
Hope you have a great time and if you want to share a bit craic, you know where I am.
Get yourself Wechatted too.
