What’s new in Dalian
Me and some friends have been toying with the idea of making a Dalian podcast/videocast. It’s kind of a neat idea, because nobody in this city has really done that before. We did record a short run-through the other day, and I should have our first episode online shortly. A rough cut, but should be ok. I think there’s a big vacuum to be filled in Dalian though. The only significant web presence that exists is a somewhat disharmonious forum, and DalianDalian.com – our modest attempt at a city guide which we’ve thrown together in our spare time. If anyone out there has any suggestions, drop me a line. It’s good to see sites like Dalianstuff.com springing up, and I hope we see more of them in the future.
I recently got a new camera, and I’m trying to put more videos on our site. Like if I go to a restaurant, I’ll take a short video to show people what it looks like and how to get there. I recently recorded a video the Dalian Wolfhounds Trivia Night as well, so if you haven’t come out to participate yet, have a look and see if it strikes your fancy.
But essentially DalianDalian is non-profit, do-what-we-can-when-we-can, share-all-the-info-we-know kinda website. There is a forum for those who like forums. But the meat and potatos of the site is the listings section. We don’t ask for any sponsors, money or volunteers. We also have a blog platform, where you can start your own weblog as well. Alex has done a really great job.
In other news, I tried my hand at archery yesterday and that was pretty good fun. And here’s the video:
