For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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

Throw away those ipads and all the other stuff - there is something much more valuable on the way!

Why creative writing is better with a pen

Not only is longhand a much more portable way to write, it's also much more individual

...........There are far too many distractions when writing directly onto the screen. The internet being the main culprit. But if that's not all, the computer screen itself is enough to put some writers off completely.

 

Read the whole article! Power to the pen!

No No No, come on! Agreed, I prefer writing with a pen, I insist on it with college and high school.

The IELTs writing is the good old fashioned way!

But tablet PCs also have handwriting apps so that you can just write on them.

Richard, your supposed to be getting an ipad, not working against the idea!

Love Richard
