Hey... I'm not a new member, but I moved to Beijing about a week ago. I'm an American (ABF, not ABC) and my Mandarin is terrible. I've been around a bit before this, living in Australia for a year and spending a good amount of time around Asia. Give me a heads up if you want to go out for a drink after work.
Cheers
New in Beijing

Sorry for the late reply. I think I disabled e-mail notifications and didn't realize until now. ABF = American Born Filipino, though American Born F*ckhead can also apply (I left for a reason). I mention this because people confuse me for Chinese. Living in the Haidian district, near the 4 & 10 lines

Hey there! Just got to Beijing last Sunday! I'm from Spain although my parents are Chinese (I don't speak Chinese at all though). In your language that will be SBC (Spanish Born Chinese?). If you still wanna have some drinks or just go around, please feel free to email me!
