For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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.

Changchun Friends

a great way to get involved

Calm down John I struggle to keep up with politics in my country let alone American politics that has so much personality based voting.

The site above has a fun "Who should you vote for tool".

Well, Martin, I am not surprised that you are surprised.  Let me explain, there is something called facts and something called opinion.  There’s a difference between the two.  While we’re all entitled to our own opinions, we’re not entitled to our own facts.  Maybe if you would have sat down with me to discuss this matter intellectually, I could have prevented your surprise.  Everything I was seeing to date was pointing to what we have now.

 

Frankly, I honestly don’t know who is going to win today, but based on the facts I could have told anyone who was willing to listen that results might be different than what people here expect. 

 

Interestingly enough, believe it or not, I personally win either way.  Yeah, my macro analysis of where our world is heading does not factor in a Romney win.  So, I might have to go back to the drawing board, not an easy task.

As requested David. Im surprised this race looks so close. But I still expect  'GObama to take it.

The title of the article says it all: "Winless Wednesday". Hope they are wrong!

Ah, the US Presidential Election. Finally ... something funny to wake up to, other than my own face in the mirror.
