Problems for non chinese speaking couple living in Chengdu?

[mr tin]

Hi there all,I have a quick question about living in Chengdu... A friend and his family (Him, his wife and their son (a couple of years old or so) have the chance to work in Chengdu for a while maybe a year and they would like to know what its like for a non Chinese speaking family to live and work there, possible? Hard? Problems? Now if its anything like Wuhan I would say they may strike difficulties but it would not be insurmountable, however I have not lived in or even been to Chengdu... so for those who do/have how would they go? They have lived in Malaysia for a year or so and are now in Singapore for a few months... and have asked my advice re living in China and specifically Chengdu, general advice about China aint a problem, but specific advice is... many thanks for any advice at all... cheers
