Wow, she is lovely Neil. I think we've both had enough of princesses!

I actually have a friend with a Chinese wife whose family is from Xiamen, it's a nice place apparently. The local dialect is a bit tough though.

I'm off to visit my lady 2.0 in a couple of weeks  ;D.

Neil, Alice is right. It will be difficult to get married during spring festival time. China is going on standby at this time. Everybody tries to get home to the family. Spring festival is very important for the Chinese people, in my humble opinion more important the Christmas for us.

I am pretty sure you need to get your travel tickets organized soon, as many Chinese from abroad might travel home too.

Good luck with your adventure!

Neil I am happy to read the suprising news. I hope the best of success and double more if and when you tie the knot, that Beijing processes your case and not Hong Kong - that place ties you up in knots  ::)

Man it was only 2 weeks ago I asked if you were ever planning another trip to China, and then you make this dramatic announcment.

I'm ashamed to admit that I wasn't completely sure until recently.  I didn't want to post about my trip and then break her heart or mine...again.

No need to feel ashamed Neil for keeping it close to your vest. You have the makings for being a good poker player keeping your cool under such interesting times  8)

Well guys, tomorrow I leave to meet my Laopo.  We will spend 3 weeks together, and hopefully, barring any unforseen circumstances, we will be getting married.  I'll try to post from China, but I can't guarantee anything.  I think I've got everything lined up.  Bags are packed, camera is empty.  Work, then sleep, then 24 hours of traveling.  I'll be heading deep into small town China.  Alice tells me there are no foreigners where she lives.  I'll either be a rock star or an alien, I'm hoping for the former but I don't cherish the spotlight.   

Happy New Year gentlemen (and ladies).
