hi jonathan. Did you have any luck in meeting ppl? I've been here a week now, and am actually going to go insane if i don't acquire a social life soon. I have travelled a lot, and taught in a couple of different places in Asia, and never found it so difficult to meet other ppl who are sticking around. ARGH!
I've even resorted to just hanging out in an Irish bar (no, i'm not Irish, I'm English) today, to people-watch and see if there was anyone seemed open for a chat. Fail. It's been pretty empty all afternoon.
So... basically... if you and/or anyone else fancy meeting up this week, give us a buzz on here and we'll get something arranged.
I started work this weekend, but haven't signed a contract yet. I'm meeting the boss again tomorrow, to discuss contracts etc, but tbh am not feeling ready to sign one yet, til i have found some kind of social life here. I loved my life in my last two teaching posts (Hanoi and Yangshuo) thanks to meeting great friends and social life, as well as the crackin' jobs. And want the same for my next step.

Anyway. Give us a yell if you're interested in arranging a meetup this week! Cheers. Nikki.

Hi Nikki!
We just moved to GZ this past July living in Zhujiang New Town. I know what you mean when you say it's incredibly hard meeting people! The Irish bars are good on the weekends.. Keep in touch! -Mandy

I was in Beijing for 7 months, and found the transition to GZ quite a challenge.  There are people around, though, just seems to take more effort to get in touch with them.  A meetup would be good at some time, let's set one up!

Hello all, I just moved to Guangzhou from London on wednesday. I haven't had much chance to explore the city yet but I would really like people to hang out with so I'm not a total loner during my 3 months here! lol! I'm working as a singer in a hotel in Tianhe. I'm really into music and I've heard ther'es a acoustic night in McCowleys tomorrow night. I have no idea where it is or how to get there but I think I might head down so would be cool to meet up with anyone else fancies it. I'l be the one sitting on my own looking longingly at all the people out with their friends! :-)
