This is what has me thinking about these fees. According to her she may not be able to meet me at the airport due to her work. Thats ok with me. There won't be anybody from the agency there, she is in Singapore and the agency is in Shenzhen, # 508, I'm guessing at this though. She says that there is not an agency there??? I'm guessing that she means a branch of the one in Shenzhen. (She signed up in Shenzhen and then was transferred by her work to Singapore several months later) Now that it is getting down to the meeting time I was just a little concerned, I meet her and everything goes south. I will have no way to get in touch with the agency. (I won't have a visa for china) I will have a beautifull vacation in Singapore but I will be by myself. I could go to HK I guess. My only option while there would be to approach either women or an agengy there. Don't really want to do either of these though. I just may be going there with no plan B so to speak. I do always look on the bright side of things and so I keep in mind that everything may turn out ok. But I still like to have a back up plan, just in case. I know that there will not be a translator from the agency there at anytime. She has told me this already. She is also not "scared" to meet me without knowing much english. I will be getting an electronic translator at some point early in the trip if not before. (Thats why all the questions about software Vince) I have a trial version of Babylon8 on here now. Impressed with how easy you can translate but not too impressed with the actual translation. Back to the fees, I would just feel a little burned by the agency from Shenzhen if things did not work out with her and I had no representation from them for all the EMF credits I have spent with them. I too would argue on her behalf for a waiver of the meet and greet fee if the agency did not send a translator if things do work out. It looks like that may be a part of the contract they have,? to supply a translator for the meeting?
By the way the last lady I was talking with told me that her agency would not charge a success fee. I can't say that this is a fact though because things didn't work out with her.
