We were supposed to go to Ulan Bataar but then spontaneously changed plans and just bought tickets to go to Harbin after we heard about the winter festival. alas we're now in a computer lab searching for hostels in Harbin with no luck...looks like the winter festival is more popular than we thought. your website popped up while searching the internet for info on Harbin. thought I'd post a comment just in the hope that maybe you could give us some tips on places we could stay. we'd appreciate anything you can tell us....thank you very much!!!

I'm partially responsible for getting him into the whole Harbin mess. He shoulda never listened to me... I am thinking about applying for the CET program in Harbin for the summer term. Did you like the program. Laosan, no I wasn’t in CET- I was in “teaching” at the same school Brendan is last year. I’m partially responsible for getting him into the whole Harbin mess.

I am thinking about applying for the CET program in Harbin for the summer term. Did you like the program.

How I miss the Chinese being suprised that a foreigner lived there. How I miss being completely wasted, uttering those 5 words, and being magically driven there without incident. Anyway, yeah. You just made me miss Harbin. That's kind of creepy. Hopefully I'll be back in June, CET be damned. *sniffle*

In my mind the Dongbei IS real China...at least modern China in that you still can find the traditional (circa 1949 and after) and the modern (circa TODAY) right there...right now. To me this is the ultimate definaition of contemporary China. Besides where else in China can you get real basibijilin..........mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, good. Dude,

Around here, it's Shanghai that is clearly NOT "real China." Way too modern. Speaking of modern, I've heard Harbin is pretty modern. Maybe HARBIN IS NOT THE REAL CHINA!
