In September - October 2012 we lived in Dalian, China.
Dalian is in Northern China and is a sea-port. It is a smaller city by Chinese standards with about 6 million people. September October is Autumn in China and the weather is warm.
Our daughter attended the Dalian foreign national school and she was made
to feel very welcome even though she doesn't know how to speak any Chinese. She made some new friends there called Apple, Jason and Brad.
Her teachers were kind and caring. One of her teachers Jam who is from U.S.A. spoke English very well and kept an eye on her and was very helpful.Life in Dalian was interesting. We enjoyed some sightseeing. We enjoyed the parks and shopping malls because there was often music and dancing to be seen. The malls and shops were bustling and sometimes crowded but always exciting.
At first it was quite a challenge to find our way about, Taxis were inexpensive but the drivers rarely spoke any English. We found that if we had a visiting card from our destination or at least the destination written in Chinese we usually got there without too much confusion,
