For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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

Changchun Friends

a great way to get involved

Actor George Lindsey, known as Goober Pyle, dies

One of his best jokes:

 "A football coach, holding a football, asks his quarterback, 'Son, can you pass this?' The player says, 'Coach, I don't even think I can swallow it."'

HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!

An American businessman was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican

village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the

small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American

complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long

it took to catch them.



The Mexican replied only a little while. The American then asked why

didn't he stay out longer and catch more fish? The Mexican said he had

enough to support his… Continue

A Visit to Jilin Province Museum for Han Dynasty Tomb Pottery

Today I took a visit to Jilin Province Museum to see the Han Dynasty tomb pottery exhibition(157 BC-141 BC) . The museum is located near Children's Park on Renmin Street. It's not big, and only a few people go there. I saw 20-30 staff and securities on one floor while not more than 5 viewers! The exhibition is not as gorgeous as i thought, but is still worth going, and it's free. The figurines are really beautiful and elegant in very simple shapes. If you're interested, you can have a look,…

La Fa Shan Question

A question on La Fa Shan (near Jiaohe, 40 miles east of Jilin). Has anyone been here? We are looking into the possibility of hiking there, spending the night in Jiaohe - or closer.

Also, any hotel recommendations?
