Sly, Give my late congraduations to you and Li Yan. Very beautiful wedding photos!
"finally, you did it! you are now married !" 
 This make me think if one day the same occasion, I will feel the same as you. But I couldn't think too much now.Now I only feel like my passion was sleeping waiting for woke up by someone Someday .

[Sylvain D]

Paul and Chen Yan, thanks a lot
Yes, now i'm married and also waiting for my wife to come back.
Today, we talked about her visa, as she did the asking on end of September, from what a man said to Liyan, maybe the process could be fast, as the papers were sent in France before China's birthday, so... we will see, anyway, but that would be very nice if she could get an agreement to come asap in France.
Actually, I miss her more than a lot. Even my daughter said me today "papa, when will Liyan come back? Because I want to see her again, to play with her"...
Well...
Just have to wait for the papers to be done.

Sly,

May the time pass quickly for the two of you. But look at the bright side
the long hard road to get to here is complete. Now its just a very short
time to wait.

I agree with you, Ted. Just a few days to wait.
Liyan tells me everyday that she is missing me and wishes to come back quickly, even if she is happy to be with her family for a few days.
It also seems that for any "un"known reason, she can not sleep well, when it is chinese hour, by night. As if she could more sleep (I mean, when it is french hour)...

I hope she can be here for her birthday.... as she will be 30, I need to make it special ^^'

[ttwjr32]

Well keep us posted on the happenings. When is her birthday so we have a time frame
that your looking at? Keep your head up.

Too bad!

I called the French Consulate this morning.
They told me, that Liyan can go there tomorrow afternoon to get her passport, but they can not say that her visa is ok or not...
Whatever I am her husband or not, that just changes nothing to that ### answer.
Nor than if Liyan could call them...
"we apologize, we can not say anything about her passport via phone"
She just have to go there tomorrow... and then she will know.
So I feel just a bit more than angry because of that answer...
But well, tomorrow, she will know what is the answer for her visa.

Ted, about Liyan's birthday, it will be the 23th October. I just hope she can be here

Liyan went to French consulate this morning, and she got a news visa, long time one, to come back in France

So it is a very good news.
If all is ok, she could be here next week, now she has to book for a flight.
Maybe she could be here for my daughter's birthday.
But anyway I guess she'll be in France before her own birthday

N.B : I forgot to mention that : Liyan told me she doesn't need to pay the visa...

[Paul Todd]

Great news Sylvain!
Seems to be a lot of it about lately, lets hope there's more to come.

[shaun]

Very good news!!!!!

[ttwjr32]

Congrats Sly  that is really goood news for the two of you. Best wishes for the journey.

WOW ! Silvain , the family will be together again in no time , best of luck to you both , Sujuan and Robert .

[Sylvain D]

Many thanks to all of you
Yes, Robert, the family will be together again in a few days, and that is a very good news.
Plus, the fact that Liyan doesn't need to give any money for the visa is just "amazing".

Some update to come, soon, I promise

[Arnold]

Sly , now wait a minute  ! She did not have to Pay for the Visa ? She better send a Check to Martin right away , just send him a PM and ask for how much he needs !

Great News for sure , this would set a new speed record for returning FROM China .

[Sylvain D]

Arnold, yes, Liyan did not have to pay for the visa.
She asked to the french consulate how much she had to pay, and the man replied "nothing to pay, it's ok"

I don't know what the reason is...
- a wedding gift between chinese government and french one, for Liyan and me, to be together quickly?
- Just a way to say that because we are married, we don't need to pay that visa? (that would then sound very strange, because I didn't read that any of other chinese wifes, here, didn't have to pay their visa to go in U.S.A or Canada, nor than anywhere else...

So.... Maybe the reason is lost somewhere...

By the way, as you say, too, Arnold, Liyan would had been in China only 2 weeks... she says that she misses me a lot, I'm her laogong and she needs to be beside me everyday...
and, just to confirm again, I never felt love like that before with any westernen women.... chinese one are very lovely, and like to take care of us.

Well...
Tomorrow, she will have some news about her flight, I'll tell a bit more about it when I can.
