My first time to China... I lived in Qiqihaer, Heilongjiang for about 5 months and at the time, I was continuously tossing up on whether I liked it or not, it was so different.

Now that I have left, I miss that place so much. Yes, it was rediculously cold and it was suicide trying to cross the road, but all in all... Its actually a really nice city, the people are great, the sights are amazing and the food is to die for.

If you're ever in Haerbin, just jump on a train and take a look around... they have night markets, amusements parks, ten pin bowling, tranquil landscapes and some decent clubs too... something for everyone I guess.
