OK time for another update whilst the Dragon is having a shower.
Not much happened today......yeah right......the one thing that I never thought would happen again has. I am now officially a kept man. It never stops to amaze me how much Wendy reminds me that she would never do what my ex did. Chinese girls do not do this she says, I stay with you forever. I believe her as I do not have any reason not to and her actions the last couple of days have not given any other indication than she is going to be my girl for ever.
I now have until Friday to think of how I am going to win the Dragon's mum over as that is when we are going to visit. I spoke to Wendy over dinner tonight (strange to come all the way to China to Italian, but that is what she wanted to have for dinner as she has never had it before and who am I to argue?) what else to get her mum, I have a hand painted plate done by an aboriginal artist that I know in Sydney but I wanted to get something else too based on suggestions on here. Anyway Wendy says we will just give her 200 CNY and she can buy what she wants. Seems like a good deal to me $34 AUD for her daughter. But gee I hate getting ripped off. I have inquired about the dowry and all of that (just felt wrong and really awkward to approach the subject and to discuss this, but I had to know) and Wendy said nothing more is required. Just don't know what to get the brother yet, would have been easy if he smoked. But he doesn't and neither do I, I would not have know how to buy some smokes anyway.
Anyway after dinner off to buy some fruit to munch on whilst in the hotel room and just about to go back when out of the corner of my eye I spy a little ice cream shop that I can not remember the name of. In we go and had some Chinese ice cream. It is different for sure, but I know that I will be back, really loved the stuff. And when I move here I might just happen to buy shares in the place, I have to get something for the amount of money that I will probably spend in the place.
Tomorrow is a free day with not much planned but will see what unfolds, might be a good time to buy some souvenirs for the family back home. Still loving every second here and today will live with me forever.
