Moved here recently, feeling bored

Hi guys,

I moved to Dalian from Chicago almost three months ago, and I still don't know anybody!

I'm 24, Chinese-American, grew up in New Jersey, now working in the private equity investment business. If anybody here is feeling bored, and lives around the Zhongshan area (I'm at the Shangri-la), feel free to shoot me an e-mail. Would love to play tennis, badminton, drank drinks, see some new places, share ideas, etc.

BTW, I speak fluent Chinese and English.

Bob

Hey... Totally know how you feel... There's me and two American guys living in Jinzhou at the moment and we don't know where to go or where's good to grab a drink! It can get really infuriating... although in fairness the climbing thing posted on here sounds pretty cool...

I dunno how far away you are from Jinzhou but I'm guessing Dalian Central is pretty much middle ground. Let us know if you wanna meet up... maybe go exploring!

Stace.

Welcome Eric!
You are really having no fear of jet lag to have proposed a meeting right after your arrival: )
If you wish, drop me a line, we can catch up this sunday for a coffee or so. btw, where in Dalian are you gonna stay?

In fact, it seems very rare to have French here in Dalian, i studied french and have been visiting france many times, would love to keep the touch with french culture: )

Enjoy your flight.

Hey Amy,
We indeed meet with Lea last sunday and it was a really nice day.
I am living in Kafaqu now (Gugeng hotel). And you, in which district are you living? Maybe we will find some time to meet this week. I am available around 7:00pm maybe sooner if I decide to start earlier. I think I will, since unlike in France the sun goes down pretty early here (7pm in China Vs 10:30pm in France maybe 11pm in Brittany).

Enjoy your day

Bye Bye

Hello friends, moved here recently from India, and like to meet people from different origins. I will be here for two years. I got free in the evening and also free in the weekends. As I am alone here and don't know Chinese and feel very bored. It will be great to meet you all.

thanks

warm regards

Dhanjai
