Wuxi City Guide

Hey Ya'll, 

Today I want to share with you one of the BEST resources that you will find about what is in Wuxi. 

The Wuxi City Guide!!!! This book has been put together by some friends of ours who are expats and have been living in Wuxi for 10 years. 

The Wuxi City Guide is a complete, pocket-sized map and directory for everything expats living in Wuxi care about - restaurants, hotels, schools, hospitals, websites, Chinese classes, cable TV, and transportation. It is crammed full of useful tidbits for expats learning how to live in Wuxi.

This book has been the best thing for Tractor Man and I. They have all of their listings in English and Mandarin so it doubles as a taxi card. It's wonderful. What is even better is that they have everything on their website as well. I recommend checking that out before you even get settled here in Wuxi. This will allow you to get a feel for everything Wuxi has to offer. 

Grab a book and get ready to explore all the great things about Wuxi! 

Thanks Ya'll, 

Belle

Monday = Coffee Time!

Hey Ya'll,

Once you get to know me, you will know I am a coffee-aholic! I LOVE coffee and having Starbucks here in Wuxi has been fabulous. A dear friend of mine and I started a year and a half ago walking from our apartment complex to Starbucks every Monday. It makes Monday's the day I look forward to! Now our group has grown!

This is amazing way to meet expats in Wuxi, just come to Starbucks in New District on any given Monday. We normally arrive between 10:00am and 10:30am depending on if we all walk over or not. There are usually between 5 and 15 expats joining together from all over to have coffee together and let the kids play. Come join us!

Wuxi International Club - A Gathering of Expats

Hey Ya'll!

One of the most important topics in anything we can write is....how do I meet people? If you are like me, I crave friendship and love being around people. I know this is not everyone, but if you are looking to find a community of friends in Wuxi, this is the place to start.

The Wuxi International Club! Below is an introduction from the club president and a link to the website. We would LOVE to have you come join us!

Wuxi International Club (WIC) is a voluntary organization of expats from various countries based in the Wuxi area of Jiangsu Province, China.  For a family to join our club, one member of your family must hold a foreign passport.  We charge an annual fee of 200 RMB per year per family payable in January.  If you join us after June, the fee is reduced to 100 RMB for the remainder of the year. 

We arrange events to enrich the social and cultural lives of members and to help them become familiar with Wuxi. We also give back to the local community with our members volunteering and donating to various organizations in the area. 

Our activities are planned by our members. They are varied and targeted towards our member's interests. For example, we have a monthly lunch at western style restaurants, toddler play dates, coffee mornings and organize visits to local attractions. Members are sent our newsletter on a monthly basis packed with things to do for the entire family.  All our communications are in English. We are a small community and all have one thing in common, we are expats in China!  You can find out more information about us on our website: Wuxi International Club
