No Chinese women .... and No Canadian women either ....
even wanted to be sure I stay away from my ex-wife ....

no problem there, I could not stand to be in the same room as my ex-wife !!!!  LOL


My wife is always interrogating me in regards to my ex wife.

Well Phillip I hope not to meet you In April!!  I hope that you get sorted with your lady and are so busy with her in Hunan or wherever that you are that you do not have time or the inclinatiuon to go to Guangzhou.  

But if things work the other way then our next get together may well be thousands of miles from our last and I will make the trip to Guangzhou.

Hi guys,
this week has been very eventful.
Firstly, I have sorted things out with my fiancee. She has some bargaining to do with her ex-husband regarding a house they bought together, but her sums were way off. The brother is getting a lawyer to help them sort it out. We're back on track.

Secondly, I have got a job in Hong Kong, starting in August. It is a teacher in a kindergarten. Good wages, plus generous accommodation allowance. So I will be popping over to Guangzhou and Zhuhai and other places where brothers live to have regular chats and meals and drinks.

Plus today and tomorrow my school has an inspection, the dreaded OFSTED inspection. But my school is very good, so I am not worried. In fact, why am I leaving? Oh yes, to start a new life.

Philip,

Great news, .....You won't regret your move to Hong Kong, that's for sure!!
I spent some great years there. And as you say, these days ample opportunities to easily visit the mainland cities.... All the best to you Philip!!

Thanks David,
I will try and get a big enough apartment to let visitors stay. If my wife lets me, that is.

Thats good news Phillip.  Just as well you are not an impulsive guy and you sat back until you had a clear option ahead.

 We may be regular visitors Hong Kong if my wife does not have to keep returning to Heng Yang to renew her exit/entry pass each time!!!.  Or is that a reason to stay in UK??

So you will be in Hong Kong in August to start work.  Next important question have you fixed a date yet for your important visit to Changsha?  Or is that going to wait until you are in HK?

Hi Ted,
thanks for asking. my school received a mark of outstanding, which is the best you can get. I will sell some stuff on EBay, hire a big van to store most of the rest in my house in France in the last week in July.
I will roll up in Hong Kong a couple of days before the 1st August. the school will provide temporary accommodation until I get a flat. Then I will get a 14000 HK monthly couples allowance for a flat, which should be enough.
