For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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

Didn't get a ticket in time : ( Derrick said it was a great event. Miss that yearly fix of turkey . . ..
I want to thank everyone who attended the dinner. I enjoyed meeting and chatting with everyone, especially the people who were new to Changchun. It was great to have a Changchun Thanksgiving.
Well done, David. Seems you had a better smorgasbord at Grandpa's then the White House!

Looking forward to seeing everybody tomorrow. Spending Thanksgiving with old and new friends can make China seem a lot less lonely. Remember this is a big family event and everyone should have the spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday.
