Hi there
Sorry, a few things that need to be done before getting married in one month
I will give some more updates about Liyan and me.
Liyan was introduced to some of my best friends, who live close to our city (about 15 mins by car).
Everything was just fine, all of them were very happy to meet Liyan and also, were really helpful too
Because they know Liyan is learning french, they could talk to her in english, and 3 days ago, Liyan was in Paris with one of my friend's wife, shopping and looking things that can be useful for the wedding day (gifts and so on).
Well. Liyan could also get some advices and was also surprised, to see that it is different than in China.
One of my others friend's girlfriend is vietnamese, and she gave Liyan some other advices, about makeup. She said that she'd enjoy help Liyan about that, and Liyan and her are now good friends
(they also watched a manga on my computer (from Miyazaki : Ponyo, a fish that wants to become a human lady and sharing love with a human children)
Yesterday, we went to the hairdresser for me, and Liyan came, to see how different it is too with China hairdressers.
Because Liyan also found on Internet with Nga (the vietname lady) a nice hairdressing, we asked to the hairdressers and we must go back there on next weekend, to give it a first try. The hairdresser said, asian women have strong hairs, so it can be a bit "longer" to make it very good, but it should be ok. Anyway, I guess that she'll do it very good.
We are looking for a good restaurant. I wanted to go to a big one, but no more free places
My parents also told me about some other ones and today I need to call them. The quality is very good and the price is also a bit cheaper, compared to the other one (who is anyway a 3 stars, but well... )
The father called Liyan to talk a bit with her, that she must go on learning french, because she then would like more and more France and also, the habits and so on. and that she could also take the bus or the train alone.
Before yesterday, Liyan was at home (as everyday in fact, when I am working), and a grandma knocked at the door. The old woman is "just" 97 years old, one eye blinded, and can not really hear from one ear. she lives in the same building that me, on the same floor. So, she just needed some help. Liyan tried to help and the grandma took her hand, and wanted to walk a bit outside with Liyan, even if she could not really be understood and could not also understand Liyan... ^^'
Well.
When Liyan was outside our studio, the door suddenly closed behind herself... and because she didn't have the keys on her, she could not get in until I could come back from work...
An other lady came a few mins later, and talked with Liyan. She never saw her before, and well, most of time, I don't talk with my neighbours, except "hello, good morning, good afternoon"... Not that we are friends or not, but well, I don't often see my neighbours, whatever we live in the same building or not...
The lady could talk in english and helped Liyan, and offered her some drink, until I was back from work. Then, Liyan was very happy, because the laday said that she often goes in China (^^) and visited Beijing, Shanghai and have some friends, there. She also bought many things from there and brought it back in France.
when I was back from work, I was surprised to see Liyan waiting for me outside and talking with the lady and another woman who came to help the grandma.
Then, Liyan told me what happened and I thanked the lady, who said that it was ok.
Now I guess that we'll surely see that lady again and also offer some drinks too in my studio and talk about China ^^
About food, everything is ok now
we buy most of time chinese and vietnamese food in Paris, in "Tang Freres", which is like a big market, where man can find many food from Asisa.
We also buy some food in a little shop close to our studio, which is french food. So, we can "vary" everyday what having to eat
Liyan is still learning french language and can better say some words using the letter "r"
She can also go to the park close to the studio but because of the weather which is a bit "cold" for her, she prefers most of time staying at home, talking on QQ with her family / friends, reading, and do some other things.
We are also talking more and more about differences between wedding in France and in China, it is very interesting in fact to know that there are such many differences in the process to marry.
Up to now, we can not marry in any church. I will go with Liyan in another church (protestant one) and asking how we can do to marry (because up to now, we still don't have news nor "agreement" from any Father.
Tonight, if everything is OK, Liyan and me will go to Rouen, north of France, for the weekend, with Nga and her boyfriend Mikael. We'll stay in her mama's house and also, will go to the sea ^^' (I promised Liyan to go there before wedding ^^) so she's very happy
Any some more news to give soon
NB : and about her wish to not have any sex before wedding, well, it is a bit "difficult"... but well... how could I be "cold" each time I can see her, whatever she is close to me or not so close.. just thinking about her.... well... (I think my papa's was maybe Viagra....
) *kidding*
