Thanks Ted.
I am off on holiday to Tokyo for most of April - that'll give me a chance to think about what I want to do next, not to mention the chance to see beautiful ladies wearing stockings, garters, maid outfits and all kinds of other outlandish gear in the street :icon_cheesygrin:.
I've talked to ex-lady a bit more. That Guangzhou Daniel agency, well suffice to say I think they're conning women just like all the other Chinese agencies seem to be doing. They're refusing to talk to me. Miss Wu's bill was massive, although she might have got carried away with the 0's :dodgy:! How can Chinese agencies get away with charging more than UK ones, and for a lot less work?
I did find a list of good agencies, but even these had customers with bad experiences. So I'll assume they're all rubbish, then be pleasantly surprised when they're not.
I have no idea what ex-lady is up to, but I suspect her expectations of a man are way too high. Perhaps if a woman expects nothing of a man, then she will find happiness.
I would be interested if you find a Guangdong lady who would like to talk to me. Suffice to say I think she would have to move here. I don't like this China/Google business at all (Google is a big source of income for me), so I will be staying here for a while.
I have also looked into the Thai wife option. There are some excellent Western run agencies in Thailand that will find you a wife for around $3000, and that includes a wedding and after sales support (so to speak!) I've never been to Thailand but what I do know is that the Thai cleaner in work is always smiling - I could get used to that :icon_cheesygrin:. ~15% of Thais are of Chinese origin, so this might be an easier option, plus the beaches are better :icon_cool:.
