I'm new. Does anyone go into town for Expat events from JiaDing?
Zap me back if you'd like to go in together and get some fun started
here.

Poor guy, what brought you to old JiaDing?
I'm sorry I can't help you for coming downtown from there because I live downtown right now , but I understand you, as I spent almost six shitty months in that "nice" and "very well connected to city centre" lovely place.
Sorry again!

Poor me: yes - Guy: no. I'm "ShiTou" because my real nickname is
Rock but, um, that's me in the avatar picture. I live with family.
Extreme Isolation is not a bad arrangement for an extrovert like me
with a lot of (plans of) things to get done. That said, I'm pumped to
have found this group, happy to travel in.

There's nothing particularly wrong with Jiading. Its just small. No expats to speak of, except possibly the occasional VW engineer who is single too cheap to live in Shanghai and commute.

I work in jia ding, but I am more than happy than happy that driver brings me home every evening to home sweet home jing an...

apparantly there are some good restaurants in jia ding and karaoke is everywhere...
