Life in Nanjing

[outcast 11]

I will be moving to Nanjing later this month. I am interested in knowing things what it is like to live there.

So, can anyone help? Thank you in advance.

Nanjing is a great place. It is probably my favourite city in China.

There is a reasonable sized expat community in Nanjing (both students and business people).

See this recent post on the TTT

There is heaps to see and do in Nanjing, food is great, and is centrally located in China for holidays.

Also, has not been yet been spoilt by foreign travellers.

The only real downside is the summer are hot and humid, but reasonably short (June - mid Sept).

Basic information on Nanjing can be found on the travelchinaguide.com

Thanks. I also took a look at your website from when you were teaching in China. I've only been able to read some of your journals so far (today the PDF's seem to timeout before they are finished loading), but I found them very interesting.

Do you ever think about going back to China to teach more?

Any chance I have I will be going back. Probably unable for a few years though. Can't wait.
