Yes Shaun , I thoroughly agree with all that you have said , whereas not 2 years ago webcam was only an option now it is a must , I will admit it has made me very lazy though as Ying has a program on her computer that almost instantly coverts my English to Chinese as I deliver a sentence on either Yahoo or QQ she also types in in Mandarin and it comes through in English .
Yesterday she went to look at a new housing complex , all I can say is bloody beautiful , a little out of ChongQing , but more than equal to anything from anywhere in the world , couple of hundred apartments and houses and very secure , a reasonable house for about 55,000 Aussie dollars and monthly fees of 90 yuan a month , ying has already uploaded a number of photo,s to me at the same time as us discussing each photo , so today she is discussing with her dad as she will be selling her city apartment if he approves , all done via yahoo in a matter of hours , regards Ying and Robert .
