For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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

Books

Anything by the above writers

Bridge over the St Louis rey (my favourite)

A Fortune Teller told me

The Hockey Stick Illusion

 

Currently reading the Potato Factory by Bryce Cortenay. An extraordinary novel based on historical truth showing the life and times of Ikey Solomon (supposedly Dickens based his character Fagin on him) and his wife and mistress. His times in London, shipment off to Hobart and the early days of Australia - fantastic read!
