Hey everyone! I am moving to Shenzhen from Chicago in the next week and would like some advice on the best ways to meet other Americans. I believe I will be living in either Futian or Shekou area.

The last time i was in the Irish bar/pub across the street from coco park i saw a lot of americans/Europeans in the bar. Even though the bartenders english is quite awful, the beer served is always good. Perhaps going to the bar you might find some friends? Maybe i should start a blog or plan an event so more americans can get together. I am not going to lie, i really miss speaking English. The problem is that i am a ABC.. i look asian but i speak better English then i do Chinese (also i speak almost like a native here) so its always awkward when i speak to people... they usually always have a surprised look on their face when i speak English.
hey, john from jersey here. i've been in shenzhen 3 months or so, around as long as you. it IS pretty goddamn hard finding other americans around here. let's have a drink sometime.
Anyone who posted on here that wants to grab a drink, I'm an American from New York in a similar situation. Been here one week now and don't know anyone. Shoot me a message. Would be great to grab a beer.
