Great to hear this story Neil.  Sounds like you had a great time.    To get a kiss in that small departure area - well that that is a good sign.   When I went through there a few weeks back to leave on my short visit to the UK I really appreciated that last kiss at the glass doors and I remembered it all the way back to London.

I am teaching my Angel English - great fun as three months ago her only English was 'Get off me you towering, overweight, gigantic specimen of manhood' !!!!! :icon_cheesygrin: Only joking - all she could say was 'Hello' and to count to 5.  

But we get by OK- but she still has a lot to learn.   We set aside at least one hour everyday and devote it to learning English.

Problem is some of the English teachers are Chinese locally so I do it myself just for her.

What I love about teaching English is when she is reading sentences or phrases and instead of correcting or saying "right" or "correct", if she's reading something like "Thank you Mr. Jones" I'll say "You're welcome" and she'll laugh, makes it a lot of fun.
Oh, and I know, my camera's date is wrong.  Good eye Mustfocus.

Thanks.  I just noted it because I really want you guys to be able to get together and I was concerned that if they notice that detail, those folks down in immigration will make it a hassle for you.

We've got to look out for each other here. :)

Explainable yes, but I've learned that (at least with our government) you never assume.  He's got backup (like postings in this forum), but still... if you get on the bad side of some of the slaves of sector 7G, then it'll be rough going...and why take the chance.
