For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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 THOUGHT FDR SHOULD BE UP THERE TOO. HERE'S A QUOTE FROM CHURCHILL:

 

Meeting Franklin Roosevelt was like opening your first bottle of champagne; knowing him was like drinking it. Winston Churchill

I would say those are 4 are among our most "prolific" presidents. 2 of them are considered "founding fathers". Which presidents are THE BEST? The debate rages on....

Comment by The Choonies on June 8, 2012 at 18:17

I never heard of either of them before.

I should of made this a blog or a discussion and asked for other famous similar type carvings.

Posted "Branson". (Ooops- John Wayne is in this one too...)

Comment by The Choonies on June 8, 2012 at 14:58

I must see this. I'm a-surfing. But my question really is - Why those 4 particular presidents?

Comment by CCF Beijing on June 8, 2012 at 14:51

Martin- There are also a couple of "imitation" Mount Rushmores in the U.S.

"Stone Mountain" (in Georgia)is a tribute to the Confederate Civil War heroes. In Branson, Missouri- the 4 presidents have been replaced by James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and Charlie Chaplin....

I saw this photo and I thought WOW that could be MATT. And I then thought it would be a good challenge to cartoon. But I ask you the question Mr Quizmaster - What was the inspiration in making the real monument?

Comment by John Rutledge on June 7, 2012 at 18:23

Martin, what was the inspiration?  Just curious.

"An Englishman is a person who does things because they have been done before. An American is a person who does things because they haven't been done before" Mark Twain, American Humorist and Author

 

Thats how an American end up with his mug on the side of a mountain (or hall of fame....or milk carton....or most wanted list....)
