    There’s a HUGE QR code set up at every bus stop. I haven’t scanned it yet, but I think it’s supposed to provide a map and estimates about when buses are arriving.

    I heard a co-working spot called “Walnut” opened up. Here’s their website. There’s no physical address posted. Anyone got any info? Thanks

    Here is an article on this very subject.

    To paraphrase the article: Pick which neighborhood you’d like to live in first, find some nice looking complexes in that neighborhood on the websites mentioned in the article, then go in person to inquire with the security guards.

    I ain’t dead yet. But the non-death of some of the other members on this forum might be more convincing, since some of them have been around for 5+ years.

    Not sure what kind of scruples you have, but eating out is gonna be tough as a vegetarian since many vegetable dishes are cooked alongside meat or in meaty oils. If you’re cooking at home. Just wash your fruits and veggies thoroughly and you’ll have few problems. For info on particular markets in particular areas, this forum is a good place to ask your questions.

    Dave’s Oasis and Shamrock were popular years ago, not so much now. I’d head to Beer Nest or somewhere else in south Chengdu. Shamrock patrons are not the most representative of the expat scene in Chengdu.

    What’s the format of this event? Will there be an authority/sexpert on the subject attending and fielding questions, or will it be an open conversation?

    Adorable little pup with a collar on ran into a cafe on Consulate Road between Kehua Beilu and Renmin Nanlu today. Owner hasn’t come here looking for it for the past hour. Gonna try to get it back to its owner, but I’ll be gone this weekend. Anyone willing to give this teething-age pup a home for the weekend? I can come pick it back up Sunday night. Contact me on WeChat dp_engel if you’d like to help out thanks!

    Awesome recommendations, all!

    What are my options for paying bills with Alipay? I recharged my phone with it (sweet), but what about internet, utilities, etc? Transportation card?

    Looking for cheaper razors and deodorant than one would find at Carrefour or Trustmart. Now I’m starting to think I just just invest in a straight razor and whetstone. Best deal I found was this pack of 30 2-blade razors for less than 30 kuai.  Stick deodorant I’m having less luck with.

    My brother has a buddy in Afghanistan. The buddy really likes asian girls. He’s white and really honest and smart. I think he’s about 36. He doesn’t waste time because he knows within a few minutes of meeting someone whether or not he will copulate. Sometimes he just has to look at a photo. I can get his number for you if you want.

    He won’t be wasting much time figuring out whether he will copulating or not since he’s 3,000 miles away from China.

    Unless he plans on helicoptering in, hella copulating, then getting the hell out.

    Hey Gennina! I did it through Globy Pet Relocations back in 2012 and they were super helpful and professional. If cost isn’t a factor, they are the way to go.

    Doing a bit of research, I found out that Ruby – the girl at Globy who was our point person throughout the process – is now working at Petcare Movers. Ruby was really great to work with and so if Globy Pet Relocations isn’t working for you, I would check out Petcare Movers.

    Good luck getting your pooch back home!

    I’m not sure Natasha. I know Hise (the owner of the bar and organizer of the movie night) won’t be around tonight, but as far as I know it hasn’t been cancelled. I’ll post if I hear anything, but regardless you should stick around till later for game night!
