Well I'm Hubei Province (Wuhan) in October, but it seems to be devoid of my fellow brothers :huh:.

I went up to the stores yesterday and to go north on this road I have to cut through to another strip of stores. There is was? I guess they had it out there for like an eye catcher for one of the stores that rent wheels? I guess rent to buy? And it's not Trapeze (the sign in the background) that's a swingers club. :s  Passed there on a Saturday night, the parking lot is full? The next shopping center next to this is the chinese mall. Two more shopping strips and that's where I live.

No Shaun my cousins are all dull. I'm the black sheep in the family.

Maybe we will have a South East bro meet?

Greetings Brothers,

Just a couple thoughts with this keepingin touch business.  I found it hard using teh computer room in teh Days Inn hotel to get to this site.  Everytime I got a internet explorer cannot find message.  Also as mentioned I think it would be better for everyone in teh future to exchange contact info before going over just to avoid these kinds of issues.

For my part I was really looking forward to meeting Jimb and his wife Gina and so was Zhen, but we just couldnt connect.  If I had his number with me on paper instead of relying on being able to access this site things would have gone smoother.  Also if the staff at the hotel had put two and two together and realized that I was asking about messages from Jimb and he was asking about me when he was there we would have been able to hook up.

Oh well as usual live and learn.  Next time I go over and have the chance to meet someone I will be sure to have their contact info in my wallet just to be sure.  At least then I would have something in it since Zhen always carries our money.

Regards,

Zhen and Brian

Willy,

Any photo's of these meetings with the other Bro's your meeting with ??

David....


Anything to oblige David.  These were taken in Zhongshan

I am the slim suave one dressed in black.  It should be clear how I convinced half the people we met that Ted was my 'Baba'. The other shows Ted and Sisi.  And of course It would not be complete without another of me.

The photos are straight.  No additions at all and I was not wearing makeup when they were taken.  I think it was too hot that day to wear the usual mascara and eye liner although comem to think of it there may have been a hint of blusher on the cheeks.   And of course the max factor on the lips - well that is made to take the rigours that heat can bring!!!

It is just natural beauty and a carton of 'Just for Men'  and maybe a by product from regular use of Viagra and of course old fashioned soft soap.  And of course good Chinese cooking for three months.

Even my new girl was convinced Ted was older than me.  Well who am I to disallusion her!!!

you cannot see me.  I was behind Ted holding him up - that is my shadow you can see.


Tonight i met up with Danny from Oz and his daughter Emma.  If he gets a chance he may come to my place tomorrow and write a report to the brothers on what has happened to him in recent days.

We finished off his crate of beer and ended up in McDonalds.  Maybe we will have another crate tomorrow!!

Willy, I have to say these guys are right. Dump the profile pic. You look much better in the new photos. I see the humor in you too. That little stance kind of reminds me of Charlie Chaplin.

Here I made it for you.

Thanks Guys,

Charlie Chaplin and me.  Not a great deal of difference between Chaplin and myself.  Both of us were born in London to poor parents.  

Well his folks had no money and when i was born people would look at me, then say to my parents  'oh you poor things!!!!!'

But just like the ugly ducking and Chaplin we were not pretty to start with but you should see how we turn out.

Its not how you start, it is how you finish that counts and Chaplin fathered a child when he was around 80.   I am still working towards that and keeping the engine well oiled.

Thanks Ted.  I was keeping that a secret.

Mind you YuYan has found my supply of 'Just for Men' colouring.
