Ever since our inception we’ve always been on the lookout for new, interesting and fresh perspectives on events, attractions and reviews of and about Shanghai in any way we’re able to find and foster them. As of this week, we’ve entered in to an exciting contract with perhaps the most unique of all outlooks on the matter of visiting Shanghai. We’ve reached an agreement with the junior proprietors of Perplexing Times and we could not be more excited.

We’ve already published more than a handful of articles from junior journalist Brendan Alexander on the matter of visiting Shanghai, but we didn’t have final agreement and we knew it was only a matter of time before our rights expired and we would lose our ability to publish the very best of his works, unless we made him a sweet enough offer.

As of yesterday we have reached this agreement and we are now in contract to publish each and every last article from syndicated columnist Brendan Alexander in regards to his trip to Shanghai and surrounding areas, even including several previously unpublished articles.

If you are considering visiting Shanghai with children in tow, this series is a true “must read” set of articles on the subject, and if you’re already living in Shanghai with your children, these stories will ring as true and invaluable as any.

Shanghai is a city like no other in the world, and visiting or living there with children should not be a daunting prospect by any means. The experience will surely be different than living back home, but yours is likewise as different. This is nothing to be afraid of, but embraced. This can be a new era of life changing endeavor for you and your career as much as it can for your children and their careers as, well, children.

For everything you need to know about having and rearing children in Shanghai, look no further than Brendan Alexander’s humorous parenting advice column written from a child’s perspective, than Perplexed in Shanghai.

His definitive book on the matter is forthcoming, but in the meantime, you need look no further than this column to learn everything you could ever want to know. After all, we all live vicariously through our children, and this can be the best shot they will ever have at effortlessly being celebrities.

“A white baby? Isn’t that strange?” Not to us, but to a billion of them, yes it is. Stay tuned for insight and enlightenment.
