For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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

I have a perfectly good ballpoint pen. That should do the trick.
Comment by Richard Roman on July 30, 2012 at 19:09

John - a pen should have a nib and a flow of ink - preferably drawn from an ink well but we can accept lesser instruments. The fine art of writing a well crafted letter is sadly being lost in this day and age!

Illuminated manuscripts are long gone!

Richard, what exactly do you mean by "pen"?  Will any ol' pen due?

Comment by Richard Roman on July 30, 2012 at 16:05
Tomorrow!

If I have the time, i will try to create a presentation on the art of illuminated manuscripts!

I'll bring my ink pot and my personally scraped emu plume for a quill.
