Thanks for the post.

I am a bit surprised.  I thought there might be more.  Don't know why, just did.

Considering that there are less than 4000 foreigners here, I am now more understanding of the locals who stop and stare whenever one of us walks by.

Even I have to stop and say hello when I see one. 
Shanghai is a different story, I get ignored by foreigners there.

Thanks for the figures. Anyone have updated numbers?

[Anhuiflowers]

I assume this is based on police registrations though, right? Quite a few foreigners do not bother with those I heard, so the real number might be higher....

The pedigree of laowai that ends up in Anhui long term is usually pretty weird. The figures should reflect this.
