For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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

The Chun. Its a spiritual place you know.


The Chun. It's a spiritual place you know.


     Many of you probably wonder why I have earned the honorific, ''Mahatma'' Jack. Well, I cannot tell you here and now on this blog as the tale is one of epic proportions and mysterious origins, however, what is clear is that here, in the Chun, we the ex-pat community are a spiritual and ecumenical bunch. From all corners of the world we have come to spread unto one another our words, wisdom and in many cases, whimsy.

         With such characters it is only appropriate that we afford unto them, their proper titles. I have prepared a small list below, please feel free to add to it.

John Rutledge - The Peace Maker

Richard Roman - The Pope

Lang Lee - The Rabbi

Steve Mellow - The Seer

Dennis Abbott - The Abbott

Tim Cappon - The Alter boy.

Emma Jarvis - The Emma

Jack Field - The Mahatma

Marta Yin - The Clairvoyant

Ferney Manrique - Padre

Chris Knight - The Holy Knight of the Chun Table

Jeff Walsh - The Good Samaratin of Siping

Pierre Robichauld - The Cardinal

And many more to come....

                        Peace be with you all.

We need knights as well. Therefore, as the only "Knight" here ... I offer my services as "Knight of the Chun table".

Ah yes, of course. My apologies. That is the way of it. Marta the Fortune teller and palm reader. Pierre the Confucian, there is some confusion as to the confucianism in this Canadian.

I thought Pierre was the Confucian?

I thought Marta was the fortune teller?

And Pierre Robichauld, once of the college of cardinals, is now to be known as the Fortune teller. And we have Matt the Medicine man joining us too.

We have a new addition to the community. Known only as the mysterious Erwin, new to the Chun, he is the Holy Ghost of Barcelona.

Then let it be known, Siping has a redeemer. The Good Samaratin Of Siping.

But as for a name change Richard, we may have to go into conclave for something as drastic and unprecedented as that. I shall summon the college of cardinals. Namely Cardinals Vinz, Robichauld and Pucket.

having just predicted the persom who would win the European Champions League, I would like to be renamed "The Fortune Teller" or "the fotune telling Pope"

If the name "The Good Samaritan of Siping" is not taken...then I will take it.
