For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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

Event taking place at Grandpa's on April 1, 2014 7:30 pm
Join us as we explore the Universe together. Attend the Changchun public viewing of Cosmos: A SPACETIME ODYSSEY (2014)
Hosted by renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, COSMOS will explore how we discovered the laws of nature and found our coordinates in space and time. It will bring to life never-before-told stories of the heroic quest for knowledge and transport viewers to new worlds and across the universe for a vision of the cosmos on the grandest scale.
This show is a update of the groundbreaking TV series hosted by Carl Sagan from the 1970's
