Re:DalianXpat only aimed at rich expats ??? 3 Months ago  
i agreed with Alexis.Chu, BUT, where you can find cheap place to talk without that noising chinese making in small restaurants? Starbucks is a good place, not so expensive like I-55 cafe or amici, not so cheap like mcdonalds coffee and food, but Mc very noisy and service is terrible (why need to speak english when see laowai? its driving me crazy)
Alexis.Chu - let us know some place you want to go to meeting or some event

I also agree with Chu, but us younger people have to remember that this isn't a site only for students or 20 something English teachers. Dalian is experiencing a massive influx of foreign tech/industry investment. Professionals working abroad have more money than students or foreigners working for schools(duh). What person with money to spend would want to hang out at some dump when they can hang out at the shangri-la?

Re:DalianXpat only aimed at rich expats ??? 3 Months ago  
because dumps rock. any good suggestions for a good dump to "slum" in?

getting pawed by hookers in the shangrila area is fun about once a year. often, a "dump" is the perfect place to enjoy a bar.

i went to bobo's this week but the renovation into a dart league left me saddened. went to the paulaner for the first time. what else ya got?

I like the Hopscotch Bar. But it's not a quiet place... There is also the Sunny Night Club, the hall is pretty quiet.
But I don't actually want to find a place just in order to chat with other foreigners.
First I want to have fun, to chat comes automatically after.
(Sorry, as I'm not a native English speaker, it's hard for me to express my opinions)

I answer your questions :

I've searched for info a lot of time, almost every day in order to find "cheap" daily events, and I also wrote a correct post in order to find volleyball sport-mates, but nobody answered.
About the shoutbox, I've just nothing to ask in here.
Reviewed one on the maps : sorry I just don't know what you mean.
Reviewed a restaurant : I eat chinese food in small chinese popular restaurants. I doubt the expat community care about them.
Post something in the classifieds : Just no idea about what to post... tell me ?

Well Alexis,

After reading your reply I think that you will not enjoy your stay in China. Being broke in your country and being broke in China should not come as a surprise to you.

My reply was to address the negative comment you posted about the Xpat site that you pay nothing for. As far as answering your questions...... Well in my country we have a saying that is, "If I have to explian it you then you wouldn't understand it anyway."

If you are looking for a laid back place to have a conversation then try Bobo's Bar or Dave's Bar.

Enjoy your stay, hopefully it will be a short one for you.

Re:DalianXpat only aimed at rich expats ??? 3 Months ago  
omg what bullshit are you saying here...

I really enjoy my stay in China. I have a cool life and a lot of cool friends. That's the 2nd time I'm in Dalian. If I didn't enjoy it before, I wouldn't have come back.

But I think I might not justify myself in front of you.

"If I have to explian it you then you wouldn't understand it anyway."

In my country we'd answer "That's not always the fault of the one who's listening"
