Heheh. That's the hotel I stayed at. The Fuhua hotel.
Nice view from the hotel.
Yes , Neil, that is the hotel I stayed at for the first two days.
Sorry, I haven't updated you on my wonderful adventures. I could say that the reason is that none of the hotels had computers, or that my lady did not want to let go of my hand, but the truth is more that I did not want to let go of HER hand. I am back in England now, and if it is OK, I will write about each day at a time.
One more fact about my first day with my lady. I had presents for my lady's brother's family. I got on with the two daughters like a house on fire, well I teach young children anyway, and they are amazing children. I gave the eldest daughter a piano book of English nursery rhymes and songs. When I gave my lady five presents, the girl started to cry, because she had only 1. I think I earned some brownie points from everyone, when I explained to her how much I loved her aunt and how this was the reason why I gave some more presents.
Talking like you're deaf, loving like you're blind, that sums up the next day
On day 2 with my lady, she arrived on her own at my hotel, at 7 am, wearing the dress I had bought for her (lucky guess - the size was perfect). Beautiful - pictures to follow. We took a two-hour bus ride from Zhongshan to Guangzhou. Five minutes in, she rested her head on my shoulder, and from that moment and throughout our bus journey, and 6 hour train ride to Hengyan, she rested and slept in my arms and on my shoulders. It was like 8 hours of slow foreplay. We had fun watching the sales people on the trains, selling dinosaur toys, toothbrushes, do-it-yourself suction cups and food. My lady bought some grapes and lychees and insisted on feeding them to me like I was some Roman emperor. We hardly said a single word to each other all day.
We booked into a hotel in Henyang, two beds. My lady wrote on my Besta translator asking what the sleeping arrangements would be. I replied, two people, one bed. She said she was very scared. She turned all the lights out. She slept on one bed, I slept on the other. Then, later, she got into my bed. CENSORED!
More updates and photos later.
