Submitted by JamesBaquet on Thu, 09/11/2008 - 15:55.
Lila and I have returned from the Philippines, and I am once again resident in Shenzhen (after a year in Yangzhou, Jiangsu.) I'm back to teaching here in SZ, and expect to be here for a while.
So we're ready to make this homepage start BUZZIN'. Watch for new activity very, very soon.

Agree with james
Hi yangliu,
i agree with james. most foreigners when they are relaxing at a bar or pub after work DO NOT want a chinese person to approach them to "practice" english, i often get this when i am havin glunch and it is most disturbing.
i think there is an english corner at the star bucks in CITIC plaza, no idea of when it is though.

Cool
Thanks for your efforts on this site. We need a website more 'honest' and less commercially driven. So, please, don't 'sell out' if it becomes more successful. :)

English Practice
Hi.
To be honest, many foreigners who are out for a relaxing time feel a little unhappy if someone wants to "use" them for English practice. Friendship should be based on more than "I want something from you."
That also means that, if you go to Shekou and start chatting with foreigners (men), they may want something from YOU. This could be dangerous.
I suggest you find an English corner or English salon. This is a place where many Chinese--and some foreigners--go to practice English. There will be many people who go for the same reason.
One well-known English corner is held on Sunday afternoons in Lizhi Park, near the pond. Also, check with Book City to see if they still have English salons.
Good luck!
