actually for me (maybe because i've been here so little) things that are not a problem are:

* saying HELLO.. only when i had a bad day i react in a rude way.. not that often though..
* taking pics (maybe because i am not handsome or cool, so no one has ever done that before to me!!)
* i got used to the laowai.. and sometimes i reply with a "lao-zhong" to them, especially if kids  ;D

the yelling a tthe phone and the spitting with the preparation sound (that is the worse!) are a little annoying..

the shop basket staring.. ohhh i hate that!!!

Hi guys,

Hoping to get some information if possible. Thinking of Hefei as a city to move to but need to mull a few things over first. Firstly, how many foreigners are living full time in Hefei? Is there any full international schools? What large multi-national companies are located there?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Hello in NanJing,
1. Best guess is somewhere around 5000 foreigners  including Asian expats, students and visitors. Most who we never see.
2. There is one International school here that we found. See this thread
3. We have many large companies here but we don't have a list yet.
