[quote=METAPHORE,251587]Hello! I am and inventor / engineer Now living in Wisconsin USA  I am entertaining  a new business venture that will take me to Harbin with increasing frequency for a month at a time many times a year. up to half the year. It  is a big risk for me  but It may  Pay  off nicely in the future with hard work.
 I  need to find out  many things such as  
Will it be better to keep an apartment   or stay in Hotels?   
 I am now unmarried  (50 years old ) and Love to ballroom,  blues,  swing dance. 
I dont smoke  and dislike it very much. where does one go  to enjoy clean  joyful music o dance without the smell of smoking? or is this an imposible dream?
. I hear  in china smoking is  everywhere. I live in the country now but not to far from a cultured  vibrant city which I visit  often.and I Love this situation. I  have have had occasion to live in the cities  of chicago and Los Angles and Louisville and  have never  taken well to the big city life but here I go again. only with a much bigger cultural  diffrence. Is it possible to  live near Harbin in a nice place  with clean air and make a short ( 1/2 hour) commute for work or is that  not possible?
How  is the air and water quality there? 
 
 I make beer and wine and love to cook  but  would love to learn  more when I am ther how to cook the local cuisine.
 
   I need to learn so much more, Most of all I do not want to  make foolish mistakes due to my ignorance of Harbin society.
 I  Know  I will need to study  quite a bit ,I understand,  I am ready willing and able to make this  part time living arrangement  a success and a joyful after work and weekend life is  a big part of that success.
.
I want to know  how to be open and trusting  but  still not  be taken advantage of . How  do I understand teh  safe adn difficult parts of this city as I must  extend my experience with  travel to  many cities in my life to  expect some  difficult parts of town exist in any big city?
 
 I wish to enjoy the company of  nice smart adn  athletic women and do not wish to spend time with professional flatterers or "Escorts".   I will be working  quite a bit  but do not want to spend every night out drinking  as I understand the "factory men" will likely  want to drag me out everywhere. how  does one  facillitate  good work relations  without  disrespecting their good intentions to entertain me ?
Thank You very much for your  help 
Metaphore,  from Wisconsin
