Jinan is OK. I like it here. There a myriad of "colleges" Railway College...Finance College....Politics and Law College...etc, including Translation Institute. Everybody and his dog has a "College" here. Then there is the Shandong University, Teachers College.....it goes on.and on...
Carrefour is here. It's not that great, but it's convenient to where I live. There is also Walmart, RT Mart, Lotus, and Silver Plaza. You can get anything you want in Jinan.
We have bars and nightclubs...Pyramid, Cinderellas to name but two. There are other KTV places which I haven't been to.
The massage joints are great. We hit one place reasonably regularly in Winter...Foot, body, head, then a rub all over with hot pebbles.....Wunnerful!!
There is another joint which is VERY popular. There are always many black cars parked outside with their numberplates masked with brown paper.
Winters are tolerable...Summers are stinking hot.
The schools pay on the low side, but they don't seem to worry too much about moonlighting.
Plenty of scenic places...BaoTu Springs...Red Leaf Valley, are all worth a visit. Great little bars in out of the way places.
Summer through Autumn, a night out (for me, anyway) is dinner somewhere, a walk through ChenQuan Square to Luna, a little bar on the canal, with live music, then off to the Sofitel to the 49th floor..Filipino cover band, then over to Pyramid to sit and watch the Foreign Teachers mating rituals.
Plenty of little shopping streets, a stack of computer areas, DVDs everywhere, and clothing shops and markets.
It aint perfect, but it keeps me happy.
