I have a friend that lived in Harbin for a while when he went to China to teach English. It sounds like an awesome place, but a little sketchy. He went on a date with a Chinese girl and some local guys saw it and smashed his face in with a bottle. Apparently they aren't very liberal when it comes to interracial dating. It was actually a group of Russians that came and saved him because they assumed he was also Russian. Despite all that, he always talks about how cool of a city Harbin is.
