Just got back two days ago from an extended stay in and near Shenyang. If you are interested, I have a very good friend who does speak, read and write english that lives in Shenyang. I will send you her e-mail address if interested. Shenyang is a very interesting town. (over 7 million people), you have the new along with the old. You will have to learn to live with the smog, it is everywhere. But the ladies are very beautiful and with a population that size, you will have choices. Wait unitl you get there, get settled in, and then start the process of finding the perfect lady. buzz
