For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

Funny website, humorous and quite witty.

Not sure who wrote that, but "big girls blouses" sounds like my old rugby coach shouting at us!

New Zealand has been disappointed by the lack of ticket sales and international visitors for the upcoming Rugby World Cup, chiefly because of the difficulty in persuading people that there actually is a World Cup for rugby and occasionally that there is a New Zealand.

An email campaign targeted at American addresses, America being a large and untapped potential market for rugby, was greeted by numerous ‘This is like one of those Nigerian back scams isn’t it’ and ‘Guys, if you’re going to try to cheat people out of their money, at least claim to be from a real place, not a location from Lord Of The Rings.’

The controversial pro-rugby advertising campaign that ran in America, the tagline of which was ‘Rugby: Like American Football Except Not For Big Girl’s Blouses That Need To Wear Helmets And Padding In Case They Break A Nail’, may also have been a miscalculation.
