Any other expats, people living un Yiwu

yes and actually looking for new friends!

Hello Andruca nice to get your reply, how are you finding live in Yiwu, for me get's a bit boring! :-)

Boring is not enough! I lived 2 years in Beijing, and now 2 years in Yiwu (7 months in Ningbo!)... and it's really boring! Even if I have family I feel nothing interesting here!
How long do you plan to stay here?

I don't live there permanent, I have a flat there and I spend 4 to 6 weeks at the time, I'm back in Spain now but will be back middle of September. I have been doing this for long years now, around 10 :-)

long time! We are fixed here... for the moment at least!

OK it's nice to meet other people in same situation, where are you from?

Do you stay in Yiwu because of work?

Yes we have an office there

So how do you deal with the boring leisure time?

We have also office here... but life is not only office! In Europe we are used to have double life, and one outside the office has to be better then the one in the office!
Reds831 are in Yiwu?

Of course can't only be in the office. I think it's the same in everywhere. I live in Eindhoven now, but I'm from Shanghai. I don't think Shanghai is boring I think I meet the same problem when I went to Eindhoven. Do you know a lot people in Yiwu?

Hello everyone
I just moved into Yiwu, since last Sunday.
I am from Holland, The Hague and I am in Yiwu for an internship.
I would like to make some new friends here. Yiwu seems really boring. Anyone wants to meet this weekend or something?
Add me on msn, if yes. My msn is stanlandman@hotmail.com

Hey everyone!
I am staying in Yiwu for a while now,and this place is too boring,even that I am staying with family:(Maybe you can tell me the place all the foreigners are hanging out together?

Hi all. I'm only preparing myself to become an expat living in Yiwu city Is it really dull there? Are there many foreigners around to be on friendly terms?
To be frank, loneliness is a phobia i have considering living in Yiwu.   

Another question: don't you know any decent mandarin language schools in Yiwu?

Hey,
We just moved to yiwu from the us!
How long are u here for?

Hey!

It's great to see that many  people have moved or are planning to move to yiwu. We should do a meet up of Expat.com ppl like they do in other places at some point, keep the posts coming!

Hello, I am new to Yiwu .... originally from Indonesia. Any events or gathering for expat community here in Yiwu in coming weeks ? I would like to join. And if there is none, it will be great if we throw an event for ourselves ... just to get to know more people to enhance social life in yiwu.

Hey my name is arslan and i am also new yiwu .looking for some foreign firends as well. Please if anybody out there shoot me a msg at 13676826163. CHEers

Wrong! Shanghai IS boring! Too many stressed out people,too many rude,crazy drivers,disgusting spitting and hoarking (well, one will find that everywhere in mainland China),constant high 'rip the customer off' prices for everything,etc.,etc.

Hello, just coming to yiwu. I am Paris. So guys if you have any expat meeting plan here, please add me. My email lau.pascal.fr@gmail.com  / 18642603762.

No wonder why the forum is almost empty. In Yiwu foreigners are either busy with their business or jobs, or just because the city is too small and everyone knows each other, people prefer to socialize outside more than sitting in front of the laptops' screens

Well its true that the city is small and easy to spot foreigners. If you want to meet and see expats, just go to M-BOX. Thats where all of them go.

Hi everyone!
Seems I'm getting closer to my departure to Yiwu (late Nov). Now arranging everything.
Dear expats, could you please advice me the insurance company which coordinates with any of Yiwu city hospitals? Ones i had found gave me only the list of Shanghai medical centers, and its about about 250 km ride from Yiwu - not the best thing to get through if you need some urgent help.
Any ideas?

[Moderated: please post in the Housing section]

any one want to meet? am bored out of my mind...am in Yiwu until the 29th of January 2013, i dont mind checking out other cities near by guangzhou, shanghai ect.

I'm an MBA student studying in Shanghai. Our school Entrepreneurship club is made up of expats that are planning to start businesses in China. We will be in Yiwu for one day in April. Any expats interested in showing us around and making some friends?

Hey Josh,

Hope you find somebody in your province, I've been placed in Bobai - Guangxi province, and it seems Im the only foreigner in town, which is a bit of a bummer, as sweet as the Chinese are, you sometimes just want another Westerner to hang out with!

Good luck to you!
