For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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.
The End of the World IS coming - Mayan Calendar - What do you believe? Are you worried? Or let's just have one big party.
2 days to go.
21st 23rd of December at 19:11pm.
Here is the link with the actual Changchun date and time.
0 DAYS TO GO
+13:0 hrs
China is 13:0 hours behind of Mexico That means when it is 1:00 am (midnight) in Mexico City Mexico,
it is 12:00 noon in Beijing China (same calendar day)
11.11 UTC is the exact time which is 19:11 in Changchun so TGI TEOTW - Thank God It's The End Of The World - Countdown Party at Grandpa's - and I hear there'll will be a Secret Santa.
Though when I use other time calculators it spews out 23:11pm so I am still trying to confirm when we will all meet oblivion - though an hour or 2 this way or the other at the end doesn't really matter. Some believe the actual day is the 23rd and Sunday does suit me better and it is much more appropriate, don't you think? As Friday is such a negative day to end the world.
The ancient Mayan civilization predicted that the world was coming to an end on December 21, 2012, as it was the end of their calendar.
Five cycles of 126 years each, a total of 630 years, come to an end on the 21st of December.
Ancient Mayan prophets foretold of an earth-shattering event on December 21, 2012 (or 23rd).
In the Mexican town of Tapachula, a clock counts the minutes until the last day of the Mayan calendar.
SO just in case they are right we should live these days as if they were our last.
Use it to motivate yourself to do all that you can.
Complete everything you start - but then again if we are all dead does it matter.
Many people think the Mayans were not of this earth. This is because the calendar and many of their teachings were too advanced for their time - they were geniuses that appeared, built a civilisation and then quickly disappeared, leaving behind so much, including their famous astrological calendar that has baffled experts for centuries. Were they extra-terrestrial and knew something that we don't?
That final week we WILL have an earth-shattering party to celebrate life.
The 21st is a Friday but because of differing interpretations - THE END might come on the Sunday 23rd.
So our party should be the 20th or before, or if we are feeling brave - from the 21st to midnight on the 23rd.
This is the ultimate bucket list - The F@#$ it Bucket List.
You might as well do that thing you have always wanted to do - nothing illegal just in case the Mayans got it wrong - which is unlikely. So unless you can physically see a big meteor hurtling towards you, or your feet are getting wet from a tsunami the size of Mount Everest speeding towards you, swallowing up Changchun, then keep it legal.
Make out your wills just in case some survive somehow.
Forget your diets and your fitness regimes.
Not many people get to know how many days they have left - most of you do now - there are a few that might not make it as long as December 21st - and we all know who they are - but for the rest you have just 0 DAYS TO GO

Actually there were 2 date interpretations - the first was thw 21st of December but others firmly believe that the actual date Is the 23rd of December at 11:11 UTC - 19:11pm Changchun time.
This means 2 more nail-biting, excruciating days of unbelievable tension - and 2 rival and superior blogs by other bloggers of blogging renown that seemed to be a little too touched by this mindboggling situation we have had to blog about.
Doomsdays!
1. Y2K DD- 12/31/99. Check
2. Mayan DD- 12/21/12. Check
3. Al Gore's Climate-Change-Save-The-Planet DD- 1/27/16. Next up. Are you ready?
And still the blog is quiet. 6 hours to go. For all the people meeting up with me tomorrow please don't use the End of the World as an excuse. 7:20am sharp outside my school.
New info added
The countdown clock on one site has now expired but that was to show we have reached the end of the world day.
The actual time here is 19:11 - 11 minutes past 7 this evening.
So bring a candle to Grandpa's tonight - seemingly it starts with 3 days of darkness.
In Russia there are mass panics: In France people are trying to get to the mountains for refuge: A huge increase in one way flights - as there will be no return. All over I read about the world's reaction and it's good fun - in Mexico has a huge tourist influx, panic buying all over the world - there are End of the World parties everywhere - and then there is Changchun ... - it was a great opportunity to have fun or at least a fun debate. Anyways - there are all different sites and some say 3 hours, others 20 hours, some even say the 23rd so we still have time to create an event - and don't worry about me Chris - my days are full of joy thanks to Thomas and Mary - what ever day I pop my cork - I'll die a very contented, happy and fulfilled man.
Martin ... it's supposedly the end of the world. What the hell are you doing watching a clock? If it is the end, you aren't going to wake up and remember it. Grab the wife, hit the sack early, and go out with a smile on your face.
