Meet Up
If you want to go out on the town, travel to another city, go bike riding, do yoga, get a massage at a Spa, eat dinner or lunch, and you don't want to do it alone. Request a meet up with an EF colleague or with a group of EF colleagues who are interested in meeting up with you and sharing the fun. This is not for dating but for networking and making long time friends while exploring China.See More
