I know, talk about irony, I rolled my eyes at those comments he made.

And yes, there is very little history in Shanghai anymore, and it is mostly filled with western GW's and smug Chinese. A ghastly place imho!!!! The only thing I liked about it was the 3rmb suntory beers.....nothing else besides that!!!!!

And as for Denver, I don't think it is too bad. Certainly looks a better place to live than Shanghai. Not sure I would like not being near the sea though.
