Coping in China

China Daily  

China Daily website is inviting foreigner readers to share your China Story!

Duncan Anderson I was overjoyed when I was given the opportunity to visit Tonghua, a small city in North-east China, even if it was only a day trip and 2 long bus rides to get there and back. Since I had arrived in China 5 months earlier, I had been 'cooped up' in Changchun, the capital of Jilin, which lies on the flat plain called Songliao. I was met off the bus by a very friendly local woman and as had I arrived at lunchtime we ate a veritable feast at one of Tonghua's, I believe, many fine dining establishments.
