For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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.
For all those lost movements, arts and other stuff from cave painting to calligraphy to needlework and real penmanship
Down with the machine!

"Board games" could be considered a "dying art".
I remember reading that during the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy....due to the power outages.... people were playing board games to pass the time.
P.S. Yes, Siping is like a jail, in a sense. Expats come. Expats leave. (Except the "faith" people.). Waiting for my release. Do you have a get-out-of-jail card for me? lol
It is going to be a truly inspiring evening. Have we contacted the usual suspects, as in those certain Chinese who would be willing to teach us their art of calligraphy? Maybe Jack London or Cynthia or whoever. Fuse the pen with the quill, with the paint brush and the papyrus. Magic.
Remember everyone - we are looking at the art of penmanship soon!
OK - if it is ok with you Richard, I will post an event. I will talk to Jack and we will organise the penmanship
We can also do the nerdy stuff on the computer but someone else must take charge of that!
Maybe an evening at WLC Richard? - The importance of being earnest - the value of writing letters! 9Apologies Mr Wilde)
A hands on practical evening re-introducing people to the beauty of the hand-written word
We could get everyone to write a postcard to a dear friend somewhere else in the world!
I am going mad I know, but I am on my 5th beer!
