Hi you lovely people, today all is right in the world...:icon_cheesygrin::icon_cheesygrin:
Last night after I came off the computer I went for a shower etc because I had arrangements that I was sure could not be broken!!!;-) At 7.40 I left to go to the Bank of China where I first met Anne, to meet her again as this was where we decided would be the best place to meet. I got ther at ten to the hour and we had said 8pm. To be honest I never really expected her to turn up, I could not in my lifetime think I could be that lucky. 8 O'Clock went and at 10 past the hour I heard from across the street "Rob...Rob" So as I felt there would not be that many Rob's in Qingdao I thought it must be me? So I glanced across to me left and there she was waving to me. Well my heart ws in my mouth but the biggest smile you would ever see went across my face.:icon_cheesygrin:
She crossed the road and apologised for her lateness, "Bus was late, so sorry" she said but as you men know it's a Ladies perogative to be late, so I said "it was ok, was not waiting long" :sleepy: I asked what she would like to do. She was unsure so asked her if she had eaten and suggested to go for some food. We walked about 5 minutes away from where we were (sorry guys not sure of the street names yet) and Anne pointed to this little restaurant, so we went in and Anne asked the waiter if there was a table available, he nodded and promptly showed us to one. Apparently the restaurant is called Meingzhi. Not the usual seafood place but a nice 'normal' one all decked out in red and gold. She ordered some tea for us, and we got chatting. Her name is Yinglau Chung, she is 41, 1 son aged 5 and divorced and is 5 feet 2 inches tall (Not that this matters). Her language is good because she went to university in Jinan, although she was born and raised in Qingdao. She has a masters degree in Accounting and has (with her best friend May) a retail business in clothes. I can't remember the name of their shop, she did tell me but I have forgotten.
As time wore on she waved to the waiter that we were ready to order. This was funny because the waiter kept coming up and asking if we wanted to order and she kept shoo'ing him away and saying something in Chinese haha. I think if my memory serves me well, it was something like "F..k Off, can't you see I'm trying to get into him" :icon_cheesygrin: lol. any way she ordered some seafood, eel's it looked like and then a peppered pork, I had some noodles with chicken, and some pork ballls in like a barbiecue sauce. Very tasty, we also had some fruit drinks, as she does not drink she said. the night proggressed swimmingly and it was about 11.30 when we left the restaurant.
I asked if she had to go home and she replied with a giggle "Bu..No", well at that I was delighted, so I then mentioned it would be nice to go to the seafront, so she grabbed my arm and we started walking to one. Ha ha don't forget guy's I'm lost when I'm just around the corner from my hotel haha:icon_biggrin:. So we walked for about 15 minutes turning corners to the left and right nd crossing many bloody roads. We finally got ther and the weather was chilly but not too much, we stood at the railing looking out into the sea and started telling each other our life stories. Just before we left I pulled her to me and sneaked a kiss on the cheek to thank her for a lovely night, she turned her head towards me and returned the compliment to the lips. Just the one or dozen not sure I was in heaven:icon_cheesygrin:. As it was about 2.45 we decided to head home, we got 2 taxis to pull up at the same time, she told my driver my address gave me another (lingering) kiss. So I put her in her car and I got into mine and they pulled away together, hers passed mine and as I looked out the window I saw her waving to me. I know you cannot put a cost on something like this, but the money I spent to come here in the first place, will never be enough to pay for last nights experience.:heart:
I have not been able to sleep a wink all night thinking about the whole day's experience...If heaven is anything near to this day, then I'm in it...:angel:
