For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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.
I was with my old mate Pierre the other night at Granma's havin a quiet brew, and we got to talking about national anthems. We both agreed that the Russian National Anthem is the best. Really powerful stuff. I also added in that the French, although somewhat violent in its lyrics, is a crackerjack anthem.
What do think?
Pick one, but not your own nations anthem, and the first country to reach, lets say, 10 hits will be the winner. I start the ball rolling at The Russian Federation, first hit.
Russian Federation - 3 hits
Brazil - 2
DPRK - 1
China - 1
Australia - 1
Turkmenistan - 8
Angola - 0
Togo - 5
England - 0
USA - 0
20th Century Fox - 1
Democratic Republic of the Congo - 8
And you can add any other counrty to this already comprehensive list.

The UK national anthem is the most boring, specious drivel ever composed (apart from the 'confound their politics, frustrate their knavish tricks' lines..but those are never sung).
Now, if Dear Old Blighty would only adopt 'Jerusalem' as the National Anthem, THEN you'd have a stormer.
The votes are coming in. Where are the supporters of the US and the UK? Give em me, come on!!! What do we think of Europe? What do we think of Asia? Give em me!!!
Update the voting jack!
Do you guys remember this?
I totally agree with Nicholas, Brasil National song is the Best
The Chinese and Aussie anthems are pretty cool!
OK. have to admit it .
I like the Russian, French and American anthems
I like the South African and the Tanzanian anthems - we don't really have a Scottish anthem - unofficially it's Oh Flower of Scotland - but it's a song about fighting the English army so it's never been accepted.
I think the North Korean anthem is pretty jaunty
The Brazillian National Anthem is a very jaunty number, and it goes on for about six or seven days. Definite winner.
