For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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

From today until July 4th, a holiday-related quiz question will be posted everyday.  The quiz master at the celebration will give a beer or two to the person or persons who correctly and/or uniquely answers the most questions first.  Yes, timing is everything in this contest.  However, creativity will be rewarded too.

Question 4: eveyone knows that George the Third was the king of Great Britain when the US declared independence, but who was the British prime minister at the time? Hint: think compass direction.
