Nanjing Road Walking Street
I'm not sure if this had being raised before, but I would still like to caution bros when walking along nanjing road walking street.

Took a walk alone after dinner along the walking street during one of the night. Just as I came out of the train station. 2 ladies approached my and asked for direction. I told them I'm not a local. Immediately they said they were tourist and said we were fated so would like to walk with me. Found that they were from qing dao and would be in SH for about 4 days. While we were walking, they said they wanted a rest to have a drink. As I just had my dinner and wasn't keen on it, but out of courtesy just joined them.

Was quite surprised that they took me into a shop that was selling the Olympic stuff, and went towards the end of the shop. Then we took a lift up, think it was the 7 storey. When it opened, it was a cafeteria. So teh 2 ladies went in and wanted me to follow. The shop was quite dark and did not see any people, other than some waiters. I did feel comfortable and immediately sensed something not right. So I didn't try to be hero or gentleman, and I said I didn't want to go inside and took the lift down.

However after walking to almost the end of the street, maybe I looked very chee hong or handsome (most likely not), I was approached by another lady asking to befriend me. Now this lady was from nanjing.

Walked for a while, and she also said thristy and wanted a drink. I was like looking for MacDonald, but instead she to me to a shop. You know what, she took me to exactly the same shop as the previous 2 ladies. That immediately confirmed my suspicion. I turned her down and sad I wanted to leave.

Now bros, when you are in SH, careful of any ladies approaching you. It could be a trap when you are in shop. Maybe will kena few thousands rmb for the drinks or worst, demand ransom from your friends to free you.

Bro SGPshanghai, since you are based there, can you confirm this ?

Please be careful especially you are alone in nanjing road. Hope my experience can help new comers to SH.
