For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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.
2 large restaurants (both foreign styled locations) are looking for people who feel they can cook to a high standard. These establishments are keen to improve their menus and hope that they may incorporate your dish or dishes into the menu for the general public to enjoy. Both establishments are willing to pay!!!

You know you're off to a bad start when the local liquor is known as "hangover in a bottle." The best-selling Zhamir is a cheap but brain-penetratingly potent juice made from sugar cane that will get even the hairs on your head drunk after a couple of sips.…

English has been the dominant global language for a century, but is it the language of the future? If Mandarin Chinese is to challenge English globally, then it first has to conquer its own backyard, South East Asia.
In Malaysia's southernmost city of Johor Bahru, the desire to speak good English has driven some children to make a remarkable two-hour journey to school every day.....…

Be careful what you think!
Scientists have unveiled a new technique for decoding human brainwaves and then converting them into speech.
The technique may one day make it possible to communicate with patients who are unable to talk.
Who knows where this might end up, but for sure, I will have to be very careful what I think (dream) :)…

Richard roman started me thinking with his last post, "what is the best drink in the world?" Belgium seems to be a great beer making country. But what is the best alcoholic beverage? Wine (what wine?), Beer (what beer?), Mixer (what mixer?, Shot (what shot?).
For me:
Beer - Yorkshire Bitter.
Wine - Californian Red
Mixer - Gin
Shot - Patron (Gold)…
