Is anyone interested in finding – sharing – recommending or generally cooperating in finding an ayi or cleaner. I’m north of downtown inside the first ring road.
I guess going through the expat/wife’s/mothers/womens club would be a good route for the south. but less so for up north.
Please post or PM me if you are.

Apologies for both the digression and the barn door slamming advice but I’m recently evangelical about FreeNAS. http://www.freenas.org/
I wirelessly and seamley backup my movies, music, and potentially death by girlfriend if lost photos in the background using rsync.
I found it’s perfect for me, it’s cheap, it’s got lots of services and when I move on from Chengdu, I’ll throw away, or taobao the box (I got it for 200RMB) and just take the HD with me, and set-up again in my new location.
I quite easily setup up my self (I guess I’m a 7/10 for IT skills), but if you have a good relationship with the a hardware vendor I guess he’d help. There are also allot of resources in Chinese.
or I’d be happy to help where I could.
just a suggestion, seems allot have had loses/recoveries.

Beijing at spring festival is good, going that bit (relevantly) further to Ice Festival @ Harbin is the opportunity to tick off one of those tier one China tourist experiences.
I disagree that all places all tourist at spring festival are very busy, I found most place on my Beijing/Harbin trip 2 years ago to be quite empty – almost deserted. Although transport links can be a horror.
for a 3-5 day trip I’ve wanted to visit xichang/luga lake for some years now, and I understand it’s much warmer this time of year, if anyone has any experience or interest I’d be very happy to start a new thread.

@linka999, thank you for taking the time to type all those, I had no idea there were so many in Chengdu. If you’d like to try (or show your western friends) a different, I think better, Sandwich shop, you could try Leanna’s Bakery.
莲娜西点坊
4 Shuhan Jie No. 1, Chengdu Map
成都蜀汉街4号附1号 – I think they are open until 21:00 these days.
the bread there is different, but also delicious

I’m really interested in this map idea, surely it would be a great resource for new comers and long timers alike.
Is one not already available? maybe in Chinese?
http://hotspotr.com/ seems to have only one for all Chengdu, and I think it’s wrong?
have I misunderstood? I’m very happy to contribute to one if one is established.

Hello.
I’m sure there is also an Indian restaurant on a place called China Lane, or Wide Alley Narrow Alley, or Kuān Zhǎi Xiàngzi, or 宽窄巷子
They are all the same place of course -> you have this to look forward to.
Tan-door is also opposite the book worm, a place I guess you’ll visit sooner rather than later.
but like others mentioned, I think they are of so-so quality and value compared even to some of the other foreign restaurants let alone the local places.
I’m sure they cater for Chinese/Western tastes, not authentic.
I suspect there are visiting Indians on the software park, at least Wipro are there. though how you would contact them is another matter
You might consider learning to cook and bringing some herbs or spices from home as the weight/size to potential benefit ratio seems high. Some non Sichuan herbs can be quite tricky to get hold of here. And getting the best from local food might take a while.
If this is an option I/we could tell you what’s easy to get here and
whats not, if you want.

Unicom’s current iPhone packages:
Yes 2. ours, and one at guangyuan 8 hours earlier:
Yes, as most people do I think. if its unlocked and GSM it will work on both, and you’ll get 3G from Unicom.
Sims are the same here and work fine with non-China purchased phones, in-fact many phones here are that, as they’re grey imports.
I’d recommend a GSM/UMTS unlocked device. Then you can use it on China Unicom here and get 3G data speed. I’ve been very happy with Unicom, experienced no problem at all, with full bars of 3G data services everywhere in Chengdu, including the Metro.
My only reservation is that it’s hard to believe rural coverage for Unicom is as extensive as for China Mobile, but I have little experience to confirm.
This is far outweighed by the advantage of been able to still use 3G data services when you visit 95% of other regions.
