New to Dalian: Meet new people

Hi Valerie! Great to meet ya!

How long will u be staying in Dalian? Yes, we have a group of expats and locals who meet about once a month, but also it's a chance to get to know each person and go hangout!

What have you done out here so far? Any sightseeing yet? I bet since you've been out there just a week, you might be adjusting to jetlag still

Hi Ron,
Thanks for your reply.
I'm going to stay for 3 years, so a l have a long time here ahead.
I think so far I have only seen the area around the hotel and the way to the company. 
When and where is the next meeting going to be?

Hi Ron,

Just found your reply about a group of expats hanging out once a month. I am a Dutch guy living in DDA but looking for some things to do in weekends and outside of work. Found it is not so easy to find around here... all help is welcome:)

I visit Dalian (Zhongshan District) 2X a year, Find a Chinese local co-worker for help. Baidu internet searches is difficult for forieners. You will tire of sightseeing so find a hobby instead! Local gyms are expensive, swimming pool monthly card is fairly cheap, and martial art classes are a bit expensive, unless you can find a local citizen to teach you (go to a public Square/Mall area during dusk/evenings). I wish there would be a directory/or events calendar for us! So ask you Chinese co worker. Back in the USA..good luck!
