Why did Jews go to Shanghai during World War 2?
Shanghai was really about the only area in the entire world where Jews would be accepted without possessing a proper visa. Shanghai was a unique city in all of China and indeed in many parts of the world. It was ruled (until 1942 at least) by three separate countries- the Chinese section which would come under the influence of the Japanese until war was declared between Japan and the Axis nations, the British section and the French part. Thus, with such an unusual governance structure, the city was unique. It also had a thriving Jewish section, mostly descending from Spanish Jews who would be outnumbered by Jews from Europe after World War II and Nazi aggression.
The Germans tried to persuade the Japanese - their ally - to help them with what they called "The Jewish Question" but due to Jewish intervention as well as a decision by the Japanese themselves, while there were restrictions, Jews in Shanghai were never treated in the Holocaust-like conditions pervasive in Europe.

The IBAN number consists of a two-letter country code followed by two check digits and up to thirty alphanumeric characters known as the basic bank account number (BBAN). It is up to the banking association of each country to determine what BBAN will be set as the standard for that country's bank accounts. Currently, the IBAN is primarily used only by banks in Europe, but the practice is becoming popular in other countries.

What is the absolute location of Shanghai China?
China ranges from mostly plateaus and mountains in the west to lower lands in the east. Principal rivers flow from west to east, including the Yangtze (central), the Huang He (Yellow river, north-central), and the Amur (northeast), and sometimes toward the south (including the Pearl River, Mekong River, and Brahmaputra), with most Chinese rivers emptying into the Pacific Ocean. ---- In the east, along the shores of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea there are extensive and densely populated alluvial plains. On the edges of the Inner Mongolian plateau in the north, grasslands can be seen. Southern China is dominated by hills and low mountain ranges. In the central-east are the deltas of China's two major rivers, the Huang He and Yangtze River. Most of China's arable lands lie along these rivers; they were the centers of China's major ancient civilizations. Other major rivers include the Pearl River, Mekong, Brahmaputra and Amur. Yunnan Province is considered a part of the Greater Mekong Subregion, which also includes Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. ---- In the west, the north has a great alluvial plain, and the south has a vast calcareous tableland traversed by hill ranges of moderate elevation, and the Himalayas, containing Earth's highest point, Mount Everest. The northwest also has high plateaus with more arid desert landscapes such as the Takla-Makan and the Gobi Desert, which has been expanding. During many dynasties, the southwestern border of China has been the high mountains and deep valleys of Yunnan, which separate modern China from Burma, Laos and Vietnam.

Where can you find the best massage you shanghai?
Finding the best massage service in Shanghai usually takes time and some solid "China smarts". China has a long history of massage therapeutic arts spanning over 3,000 years therefore it's not a mystery that thousands of massage parlors are flooding the streets of Shanghai!
First of all: watch out for scammers. Many strangers could approach you at any given time of the day (particularly if you don't look Asian) and offer you dubious "massage ladies" or "massage girl" services... Stay away! Not only you'll end up with a broken back (if you're lucky) due to a horrendously performed massage session, but you'll probably discover that the massage girls are not masseuses at all but rather street prostitutes.
So, if you want to try a good massage service (legit, clean, and truly beneficial to your body and mind) there's no better way but using the good old Internet or, in alternative, stroll down some of the main streets in town and look for distinctively famous brands such as Congen, Dragonfly, and other professional establishments where you can find well-trained professionals and a great welcoming service. Some other good branded massage shops are Xiao Nan Guo and Kang Dao - usually their premises are very well designed and welcoming, and occupy some of the city's most prominent spots (especially around People's Square, Huai Hai Rd., and the main streets of the former French Concession such as Sinan Rd. and Yongfu Rd.).
Getting a good massage from branded outlets (and trust me - as soon as you start walking around Shanghai you'll instantly recognize the dodgy "pink lights" badly-hidden brothels from the real deal) will be a fond memory of your time in Shanghai.
A particular service you can easily get in Shanghai is the so called "blind man massage" which, as the name says, is offered by visually impaired people. Be careful when you find some advertisements about such service, because many times these people are literally faking it. Results may vary.
Another option (though it requires time and definitely Mandarin skills) is finding a good masseuse through your local friends. As surprising as it might sound to a Westerner, getting a massage in China is as normal as getting a latte in a coffeeshop - everybody loves a good massage! Usually
If walking around China's most vibrant city is not your thing, you can always use the internet and visit English-language resources such as City Weekend (http://www.cityweekend.com.cn) which is the most popular entertainment magazine for foreigners in town - their site offers very up-to-date and curated listings and they sport an entire section dedicated to health and beauty services. Another good site dedicated to massages is Shanghai Massage (http://www.shanghaimassage.biz) which aims to be a reference for all foreigners willing to explore the many therapeutic arts of traditional Chinese massage and beyond.
