Nanjing Road is the main shopping area. Yuyuan Bazaar has all the traditional crap.

Xiangyang Market is shutdown but, the market at the metro station (Line 2) at the Shanghai Science & Technology Museum. Comonly known as the "A.P. New XinYang Fashion Market." This is were you can get your knockoffs. Bootleg dvd's are sold on every corner.

Xujiahui metro station has all the console and computer stores. You can even buy premoded Wii's.

What Hotel you staying at?

i dont kno any mandarin only canto but my dad can speak it. He lives there and im visiting him for a month so gettin around should be ok just need to kno where to go. I plan to get some suits custom tailored cuz i heard its HELLA cheap there like a few hundred for a full custom sized suit. I heard about the night clubs and stuff but i probably wont be able to go cuz i hate goin to places by myself, and my brother is only 19 and its ackward to do these things with him and we're to spend time with my dad since he's really sick and recovering. I was kinda looking forward towards the food and places to buy car parts. I kno the autobacs in CA sucks since its all overpriced but i figure the autobacs in china would be cheaper? anywhere else i could find parts?

not sure if i mentioned but im sating with my dad at his place

I only know about Clothes and electronics. I figured all car parts were the same shit on ebay.

Nanjing Road should have all the clothes you could want. It's like Chinese Rodeo Drive. It is the world's longest shopping district, around 6 km long, and attracts over 1 million visitors daily... So get ready to walk. Watch out for scamers trying to sell you whores or massages. They want to get you to a back alley to rob you. Also the tea scams are big. Don't take anyone's invitation to go to a traditional tea room. It's cheap to get in but the cost per cup of tea is ridiculous. But any of the clothing stores on Nanjing Road should be safe to go into.

If you are going to buy suits. Bring a suit bag with you from the US then fill it up there and throw away the bags they give you there. Makes life much easier with customs when you get back here.
