Hi everyone,

My company is expatriating me to Shanghai in the next few months. I’ll be moving with my wife and 2 young children.

Very excited about the move and opportunity - Shanghai is a great city I’ve visited many times so I look forward to learning more about it by living here.

My work involves travel throughout China (mainly southern areas and north east), but also throughout the whole Asia Pacific region (Covid permitting).

Hope to learn and contribute to the expat forum on Shanghai and China whilst meeting like minded people.

Hello everyone,
My name is Wendy and I am a Chinese Canadian. I moved to Canada when I was very young and have moved back to Xi'an, Shannxi recently for a job opportunity. I would love to meet new friends in China from all over the world, and I also miss speaking in English very badly. If anyone is nearby and wants to make a new friend I'd be honored!

Hi there,

I am a Singaporean living in Beijing now for a few months and chanced on this website.
Would like to make some friends and meet up with others living in this interesting city.
I love good food and exploring different parts of this city.

Would be great to link up to see if there are mutual interests. :-)

Hi
My husband is relocating to Shanghai in Oct/Nov and I'm told they can't get me a spousal visa. We are based in California, in case that matters. Did you have any trouble getting a spousal visa for your wife?

I’m on this site because I was going to move to China but went home instead, just when covid hit. I joined this site but haven’t made it yet.
I currently do care work but am experienced as a PA and receptionist, I taught English (no degree) in England and Vietnam in foreign language schools. I’m single, 57 and adore China, Chinese culture from living in Singapore as a child. Really want to come but haven’t made it yet 🙂

Hello everyone,

My name is Daniel and I will be moving to Suzhou later this year where I will be teaching English for Academic Purposes at a major university. Having previously lived in Zhuhai and Dongguan, I know a little about southern China but would appreciate some information about what it's like living in Suzhou and how easy it is to travel around the city without a car.
