My limited thoughts:

1. Have her search on QQ for local people, my wife did this and found some gals her own age in the St. Louis area.

2. Check out the local ESL courses as they are usually a good place for newer immigrants.

3. Depends on preference but the local Chinese church can also be a good place to meet.

4. There have to be international students in San Fran.

If she needs a person from VJ, then she might have to wait some time but she should be able to find someone to just chat with. :thumbs:

I used to have this Taiwanese friend and thought she was a little over sensitive about mainland issues and then she told me not to talk to the Chinese students because they were all spies.... And then a friend of hers told me the same thing. I don't know why. :unsure::hehe::rofl: But, years later, none of my Chinese friends seem to even care about Taiwan. Some have thoughts, but not in the same way the Taiwan kids did. :innocent:
