yes it as left me emotionally drained 
but now i go back to Chengdu to marry my queen
i shall,return to England sell my home and go back to my final resting place in Chengdu
i hope to drop a line or two when i am over don't you just love it when a plan comes together

Joey

A happy end to a long journey........I wish you happiness and bliss for evermore 

As my Wife is also from Chengdu, I can picture the exact place where you will get your Red Book, and the 2 dragon Ladies who run the place !! It is not a very impressive room, Spartan really
But that does not matter, when you walk out of there you will be Man and Wife...what a feeling !!!

Well done...best regards...David

Hi Joe

!976 to now is only 34 years!  Are you really sure you are not rushing into this!!

Seriously it will be the best move you ever made. 

I have not regretted it for one day. Don't know much about Chengdu but Hong Kong Airport is close enough, if by chance,  my aging process causes any health problem.  Still you are ten years younger than I so not so much a problem for you.

Your last day in Chengdu is my wifes birthday.  God I am so lucky to have easy dates to remember.  So when I say happy birthday to her i will know you will be married and will drink an extra toast to you and the new Mrs Joe.

I take it you will be still keeping an address in the UK for 'administrative purpose'.

Willy
