For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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

Favourite films

I have just finishes the film 3 Idiots. An Indian romantic comedy/drama.Absolutely brilliant! 3 engineering students and their travails through college. I have now seen it three times. It is that good!

Watched XMen: First Class and it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be, focusing on Xavier and Erik Lenscher and how they became Prof X and Magneto respectively. Heard there may be a sequel too, so i look forward to that.

 Michael Fassbender was brilliant as Magento i thought.

Do you know there is going to be aanother movie in the Alien franchise , which is called Prometheus, with Scott directing again. It was supposed to be a prequel to Alien, but will be more of a stand alone film apparently

Gladiator starring Russel Crowe and made by Ridley Scott. Epic film, charting events when CRowes charcater is betrayed and his family murdered and his quest for vengeance.

have you seen the Python films? Holy grail and life of brian are fantastic!

Fabian said:

I like "Lucky#Slevin". Unbelivable, it didn't make it into german cinemas... But also films like "The usual suspects", Charles Chaplins "The great Dictator" (makes more thinking than laughing), "The Lives of others" or "The Adjustment Bureau"

What about Monthy Python's series? I think a handful of british guys know what I mean saying: "One cross each!" Not possible making it better...
