Every Sunday from 10:00 to 1:00, interested persons from the Xpat community meet for coffee and to socialize, exchange war stories, network, and have a good time. Everyone is invited. The crowd is typically sparse at the beginning and picks up steam as people get their Sunday mornings started. Chuck Ellis is the "host" of this event and his remarks follow, along with some of his pictures.
Starbucks has been the off again, on again home of the Sunday Coffee. For the time being, Starbucks will be our host coffee house.
Hello Expats,
Great day for the Dalian ExPats with a crowd of about 22 + 5 or so
more coming and going. It was a pleasure to see many old friends, some
on their second visit, some new, and all interesting and full of
information and questions. It was a special pleasure to welcome Carol
and Paul Hueber now Dalianers. They are still moving in their new
home. I think Paul will survive it but Carol is getting a little tired
of directing the operation. She'll do just fine and we hope to see
them often. There are many in our family of ExPats but Carol and Paul
are special.

InterContinental Hotels Group has opened its 11th InterContinental Hotels and Resorts property in Greater China — InterContinental Dalian.
The tallest hotel in the city, InterContinental Dalian is located in the commercial and business district of the city, and is within walking distance from the
Dalian
railway station and major shopping malls.
“It is more than a five-star deluxe hotel, InterContinental Dalian aims to be a ‘Home Away from Home’ for our valued guests.” said Jeffrey Ong, general manager of the hotel. “We seek to redefine and give a new meaning to luxury travel by creating a truly authentic InterContinental experience for our guests.”
According to the Dalian Daily, in the first three quarters, the Dalian High-Tech Industrial Zone has maintained a healthy and rapid development with outstanding accomplishments in attracting investments.
Reporters learnt from the high-tech zone on November 22 that by the end of September, foreign capital worth US $405 million had been registered by 46 foreign-funded enterprises newly approved in the high-tech zone this year.
COUNTRY DESCRIPTION: The People’s Republic of China
was established on October 1, 1949, with Beijing as its capital city. With well
over 1.3 billion citizens, China is the world's most populous country and the
third largest country in the world in terms of territory. China is undergoing
rapid, profound economic and social change and development. Political power
remains centralized in the Chinese Communist Party. Modern tourist facilities
are available in major cities, but many facilities in smaller provincial cities
and rural areas are frequently below international standards. Read the
Department of State Background Notes on China
for additional information.
DALIAN, China -- While the popular idea of the "West" in China may be American culture or democracy, the true basis of Western culture comes from its foundation on the Christian Religion. Christian churches in China have a long history, and certainly vastly different stereotypes in the minds of both residents and foreign visitors.
Religion in general is also a special issue in the Middle Kingdom, which has drastic perceptions in social and political contexts.
So as a visitor, the process of attending a church in the tier two city of Dalian can be a bit complex, confusing, and perhaps a bit worrisome.
When a person thinks of sports in China,
his first thought typically turns to table tennis. China’s national sport is played
professionally and on a vast amatuer level. On the professional side, there are
four levels of competitions in China, Super League, Series A Series B and Series
C. A top professional player in China can earn 40,000 rmb. An average
professional player earns around 20,000 rmb. Dalian is known for its
achievements in placing people on the provincial and national teams. At present, there are three active Dalian national table tennis team members who take part
in the Super League and three who participate in Class A competition (Ping Jia
competition).
