Just arrived in dalian 3 days ago...

Hi Tom and welcome to Expat.com
Did you get a chance to have a look at other discussions in the forum? I think other expats are in your case too! You might get in touch with them.

You can search in Baidu or Google about your question or just go to some bars to meet expats?

Hi I am in Dalian for 2 years. Actually  not in Dalian but in a small town an hour on the chingue  or by car to Dalian calles Jnshitan. I have been here for about a month and so.. I work at the american school and usually we hang out on fridays or saturdays inKaifaqu which is the dalian developmental  zone 30 minutes from Dalian and 30 minutes from jinshitan. I am pretty bad with chinese though i  have learned a couple of words tobargain, ask prices, take a cab and  take the train.

I  would like to meet people ... shoot me an email  [email protected] if you  would like to meet with me sometime  on the weekend
I know a western place in Dalian called Brooklyn, a Spanish place called Tapas and others that i have cards to get there.
