Yes, it's Chinese stuff for communication and more. I don't have friends and relatives in China so I don't use Wechat at all. Just download it like skype and Whatsapp I think. .

Thanks Romain and Lily for the explanations. I use skype and whatsapp mostly. For some time also used hangouts with someone who asked me there. It can be strange, but I have been using these blogs and e-mail more lately, even more than whatsapp.

It is the all everything social media app. Very easy to send pics, videos, have a chat, voice messages, video chat....I also use it to buy movie tickets, train & plane tickets, book a hotel, pay for virtually everything--phone, utilities, rent, restaurants, any shop (including street vendors!). Send and receive money to/from anyone......we also use it to organize different group activities. I use it to stay in touch with friends in the U.S. too. In fact, you Aliceyumi are the only person I communicate with using email. Oh! And don't forget the built-in translator!

Nice to hear you have contacts in other Asian countries other than China. Be friends with the Chinese sounds difficult due to the language barrier and somewhat the culture too.

I agree  You are handsome

From my experience, most Chinese are very excited to get the chance to correspond with 老外 （foreigners). For some it is genuine interest in other cultures. For others it might only be so they can brag to their friends that they have a foreigner friend. We chat has a couple of things built in to help people make new friends by random connection. One of my better Wechat, chat buddies is a woman who accidentally mis-typed a client's phone number into the Wechat locator and got me instead. We have chatted every day since even though she doesn't know any English at all.  I have never used any other social media app. So I can't compare.

I've always been interested in being friends with foreigners, I find it most interesting than chatting, corresponding with local people. MY most meaningful relationships were also with foreigners or European descending people. Very nice to know that you met a good friend by chace on wechat, XiWangdeXin.

Thanks for the info, Woaini. I downloaded wechat but no idea of how it works... I'll wait till someone ask me to use it, so I try.
