For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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

17:11PM - New Cartoon added -Just 2 days to GO!!!. Again.

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.

Mayan Timer


0 DAYS TO GO  

World clock converter

+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

Needs brains on this - but you can help too. From my research it's only 15 hours to go.

The end of era or Hái shì lǎo same as usual.

Maybe the end of the world.

But the day is coming 11:11am on the 21st of December in Mexico and I believe it is actually just after midnight here so it is the 22nd in Changchun but I need that verified.

In Mexico we believe that this is not the real end of the world but the begenning of a new age. Probably thing will change but can we be worst anyway? Mmmm yes probably we can...

At least I won't have to worry about the dishes.
Comment by Chris Knight on June 22, 2012 at 9:40
I think I'll eat before I go to the party. I don't wanna die starving, or waiting for the waiter.

Good news. With further research I discovered the actual time of the end of the world and it is 11:11(UTC).

Well China is UTC+8 which means our end of the world is at 19:11.

So we can have dinner and if we start the party early at 17:00 we can be a little tipsy when the end comes - assuming it's a quick end and not one of these drawn-out apocalyptic affairs - with some alien species coming to terraform our planet that unites all the countries of the world to fight the common enemy with some teacher becoming the unexpected hero and leader - Oh that's Falling Skies - good show.

+13:0 hrs
China is 13:0 hours aheadof Mexico That means when it is 1:00 am (midnight) in Mexico City Mexico,

it is 2:00 pm in Beijing China (same calendar day)

So this means we can have breakfast and lunch no problem but dinner and supper maybe a little problematic.

Count me in for an Ultimate fighting match ;-)

As for the "end of the world" ... tell me on Christmas day what the afterlife was like ...
