No idea, Chris, I was just reposting an ad I saw awhile back for Jazz.
I have 2 cats, though, and am looking for someone to either stay in my flat & look after them while I’m away over Chinese New Year or to take them into their home.
I am going travelling from 9th-18th February and have 2 quiet and well behaved cats that I need looked after.
I have a one bedroom apartment in Yulin in a nice complex. My home is fully kitted out and very comfortable. I am looking for someone to come & live in my flat for the time I’m away and to look after my 2 cats. They are well trained, clean and quiet.
Another option would be if someone is willing to take my cats into their home for the time I’m away.
If you need a flat to stay in over Spring Festival & can look after my cats or can take my cats into your home, I’d be very grateful.
I saw this ad on Gochengdoo recently.

We have three beautiful cats that we need to re-home before we leave chengdu permanently. All three cats are adults males and all are neutered and shots up to date.
Puss is a 5 year old ginger male who is very affectionate and loving. He is litter box trained and has a beautiful cuddly nature.
Priscilla is a 3 year old blonde ginger male who is also affectionate and loving. He is litter box trained and on occasion will actually do his business in the human toilet!
Chopper is a 2 year old beautiful white male with one green and one blue eye. He is litter box trained and has a playful nature.
We rescued each of them as kittens living on the streets and all three of them have grown into gentle and loving pets. So if you are looking for a cat companion please contact us.
Jerry, the hotpot restaurant you are thinking of is 蜀九香, shu jiu xiang. There are two locations, the one you mentioned on 倪家桥 and a slightly quieter one on 玉林南街。I also think it’s very good and one of the better ones.
Seabass, I had an operation on my knee last March & although the operation was excellent, there was no physiotherapy afterwards & I’m having problems with my knee. If you do find someone to help you, I’d be very grateful if you let me know. Thanks & good luck!
OK, so Guy Fawkes Night is a day early on Sunday late afternoon/early evening at mine in Yulin. If you want to come, pm me & I’ll give you my number & address, you can also contact Sandi as I’m mega busy & am not always good about replying quickly.
I need someone to sort out the bbq & also fireworks & sparklers.
I will bake something & make some jacket potatoes & maybe soup.
If you want to come, it would be great if you could bring some food & drinks for everyone!
I’m not so sure that we would be allowed a bonfire… However, we could get a barbecue to simulate the real thing! There’s a garden/terrace area in my complex. We could hang out there & use my flat when it gets later to keep the noise down. There are benches downstairs & I have plenty of chairs, plates, cutlery etc
A Guy Fawkes Night in Chengdu would be excellent! I haven’t celebrated it in many years. We could get a mini BBQ for a ‘bonfire’ & then we could roast some marshmallows! We could do jacket potatoes, soup, hamburgers, hotdogs & I have been known to bake on occasion!
Quote:How was it? Lots of fun? Worth going?It was really good & worth it. The course wasn’t short – I can’t remember how long it took, maybe 20 minutes. There were very tranquil sections of water & some more exciting parts. It wasn’t hugely scary but it was good fun.
The one I went one was not difficult at all. I’d never been rafting before, but guess that it was pretty tame.
You can raft at Hong Kou 虹口 near Dujiangyan 都江堰. I did it in September with some people from couch surfing. We got a car out to the rafting center at HongKou (as bus tickets were sold out) & I think it was about 170 rmb for the ticket.
I would also love do kayaking again, but have no information on it, where to get equipment or where to go to do it.
Sure, Valerie. I’ll meet Sandi at Tong Hui Men Metro Station. We can all meet there at say 6:15 (if Yumiko will meet us at 7:45) & then go to find a restaurant. What do you think? My number is 18628069263 for anyone who wants to meet up.
Thanks Lucy for getting the tickets. Dinner before would be great but I don’t know any specific restaurants in that area. There are quite a few restaurants around, the ones on Qintai Lu 琴台路 are a bit pricier but think there are a few restaurants just off Qintai Lu, on Jinli Xi Lu 锦鲤西路 or at the opposite end by Tong hui men Lu 通惠门路.
I saw this ad recently:
‘Monsters and Critics’ is a brand new bookclub established right in the heart of Chengdu. We are looking for five people to join us for our first meeting in the Bookworm on Thursday October 18th. ‘Monsters and Critics’ is open to everyone including expats and locals, and we will welcome anyone who enjoys reading and passionate discussion. Each month a member nominates a novel or non-fiction book for the group to read and every three weeks we meet to exchange views and discuss what we thought about it. At ‘Monsters and Critics’ you can talk about books, meet new people and enjoy a drink. Attendees may drink orange juice but it is generally discouraged. Our first choice of book is Julian Barnes’s ‘The Sense of an Ending’, winner of the 2011 Man Booker Prize. The first meeting will take place in the Bookworm on October 18th at 8:00pm. For more information e-mail Alex at [email protected] or call 18280391806.
If you like the sound of ‘Monsters and Critics’ and would like to join us, please confirm your attendance in advance.
I’m interested in joining for this offer! It depends on when you will organise to go, of course. I am probably free next Saturday & definitely free next Sunday, the start of the holiday.
So, meal this Saturday? Before the pub crawl? Will need something good to line our stomachs! Any preferences as to what kind of food? What time is good? 6:30?
It was great to meet you guys last weekend! Any plans for this Saturday evening? I believe The Sultan & The Hemp House are having anniversary parties on Saturday night. If you wanted to meet up for a meal, we could go somewhere in Yulin e.g. tomato hotpot, Chinese dishes (tian tian is good, with not just spicy options), mushroom hotpot (not spicy & can add meat) & other options that I can’t think of now. Then can walk to The Sultan to check it out & have a drink or two then off to the Hemp House (in the East). What do you think?
I’ll be joining you guys on Saturday at 7pm! Shall we meet outside the temple, itself (the area around the temple is a little big)?
