I am new to this city. Previously I taught English in Zunyi for 3 years - much smaller and an easy place to get to know people. I now wonder if it will be the same here? In a city like this, it is so easy to be invisible and lost, on many levels.
Anyway, this is what is called being proactive in wishing to meet people and hopefully make new friends; although the word 'friend' is too loosely used these days. But must start somewhere.
I'm not really interested in visiting places where westerners hang-out; I don't need to drink Guinness or Heineken at inflated prices, although I wouldn't say no to a good German beer. What I really want is to get into the countryside. If you're up for this, please get in touch.
