Re: Living in Dalian
Hi,
My husband and me are planning to move to dalian for a couple of years. we are indians and vegetarians. we are going there officially.
I would like to chat with any indians living in dalian, since i do not have much knowledge of the city.
i just want to know if it is difficult for veg to live in dalian, is there any indian grocery shop where we get indian groceries and vegetables and how about the weather and the tv channels availabe there.
Can anyone help me.
Meena from india, bangalore.

Hi Meena,
I am just one week old to dalian, but i think i can help you out. Even i am from bangalore.
if you cook at home, its not a problem. When you go to hotels, then it might be a problem. Because of the language. Here none of the people speaks english in the hotels as far as i know.
You can get Indian Grocery here i.e you have to order and get the things. ref: http://www.indiankitchenspices.com/
Weather: Dec it might go till snow fall, but always you need to wear a jacket and glove when you are going out. Day temp is 1 to 7 deg even it goes to minus
TV Channels: only Chinese channels... illegal you can purchase dish and install for indian channels, but money matters.
Pls let me know if you have more questions. Even i faced the same.
