 | Just look down the thread and you will see a discussion on expat life in Sanya. But why not try and meet some local people too? You will have no trouble buying Pampers or similar brands, nor almost any other products that you are used to. |

| GUEST53216 | Hi Guest 3479, We've just moved to Sanya too, with our eight-month-old son. I'm British. My wife's from Sichuan. We've found that a lot of the expats living here are retired, but there's a few families with kids. Whereabouts in Sanya will you be living? We're in Dadonghai. You can email me at yahoo.com|tjhw.

| GUEST15553 | Welcome to Sanya. Don't be nervous! There are about 150 local expats, NOT including those from the Russian-speaking countries. Many of them are working expat contracts at the many international hotels here. Several of us have motorcycles, Rainbow II on the riverfront where Eadry Resort is the #1 place to go to meet most of the expats in town on the weekends. You'll find plenty of info about Sanya at my blog, www.sanyaexpat.com ....not selling anything, just lots of info...Cheers, Mario |

| GUEST01750 | Hi, I've just moved to Dadonghai, Sanya. I'm really struggling as I can't speak Chinese. So few people speak ANY English at all. I keep getting ripped off when I try to buy things at the local market. The thing I'm having most difficulty with is the food -I'm vegetarian and I can't find any Western supermarkets or places selling Western items? I've just been going to a Chinese supermarket but all the fruit and veg is pretty limp and old and VERY expensive. Also I can't find anywhere selling cheap clothes. Please does anyone know of: A) Any Western supermarkets in Sanya? B) Any big local fruit/veg markets selling fresh produce -like a local farmers market or something? c) Anywhere selling cheap/ second-hand clothes in Western sizes...and shoes? I don't mind having to catch a bus, if need be. Any help much appreciated! Thanks K |
