Hi,
My husband will be lecturing in Beijing next July for about a month. I am so excited about the experience (we also lived in Moscow for a year). We will be living in a hotel the whole time. I'm a bit worried about the food situation. I've heard horror stories about "Beijing Belly." Also, I'd love to meet up with some ex-pats to get the lay of the land, have lunch, go exploring, etc. Any groups I can join??? Best, Elle

Elle hi
I have been living in Beijing for 12 years (China for 16).
Happy to help.
I host a get-together every Tuesday in Beijing for Expat.com members and friends.
I also professionally provide Destination Services for new Expat arrivals but don't advertise here.
Feel free to contact me whenever you want.
