I believe a cool lady (Anemi) in Dalin initiated this, hats off.
“ The idea is to go to beaches and clean up the trash.There’s a South African couple working in Hainan, that started an event Splash for trash. There are two teams. A beach team....cleaning the beach. And another team goes into the water collecting waste. We will start Splash for trash in Dalian. The first splash for trash will be on the 6th of July. More info will be given later this week. HOPE YOU CAN ALL JOIN!!! ” |

China-Russia to Mutually Recognize Academic Diplomas
If we are not mistaken, China and Russia recently both agree on mutually recognizing each other's academic diplomas. This means students from one country can directly attend schools and be employed in another country.
That will also mean we will be welcoming a lot more Russian friends here in Dalian.

Annual big event in KFQ
Welcom Wagon 8 Sep, 2019
Welcome Wagon started in 2016 as an annual event. It is organized by DLOV, a volunteering organization consisting of expats living in Dalian. The idea behind Welcome Wagon is for those of us who know the hardship and difficulties as well as the unexpected fun and joys of living in Dalian to share our knowledge with the newcomers, and help them with a softer landing and adjust to life in Dalian.
CULTURE 
It is a recent internet pop song that demontrated a fact: Chinese people cannot properly read or write these chacters. Even worse, someone made a song with these crazy complicated chinese characters as lyrics.
Dalian folks (Foreigners Only): We will pay 500 yuan if you can send us your proper video of singing this song with the right tones, better with some instrument like guitar or piano.
