Thank you, everyone!!! Yes, we are very busy now. China is an amazing place!!! One cannot know Chinese culture without coming here first. I have experienced more here in the last few days than my entire life before!!
Oh, don't forget to remove your shoes, and put on the slippers before coming in the door... haha
Oh so much to tell, so little time...

And you have a lot more to come.  What your seeing is Chinese hospitalty at its best.   

Once they are used to you then you will discover real Chinese life. 

But unless your staying you are also going to go through the anguish of parting and being thousands of miles apart.

I stayed so did not have that painful time to go through.

I really wish I could do what you do Willy.  If my wife's immigration gets denied, I'll be really tempted to sell everything and move to China, even if it's only until she can come to Canada in the end.   I really miss China and all the wonderful friends and family.

Congratulations Mark.  I can't wait to hear about your trip.

One of the few good things about the ageing process Neil is the two private pensions I now collect.  Not large as I retired early but sufficient to let me have a comfortable life here.  So, I have that cushion that others do not have. 

I can sit here and watch Chinese life go by and at the same time work on my online website and enjoy the new apartment we bought.

Listen To Martin, Mark.

Your going to need every scrap of evidence to convince your authorities that you are a genuine couple. 

The fact that you married within a few days of meeting is going to need many months and many visits back to China to convince them.  There will be evidence in your Passport when you first arrived in China but what evidence did you save from your early contact?

Immigrants from China and West Africa have the hardest time to get clearance to most Western Countries.

So enjoy your time now and be prepared for the loooonnnnngggg wait.  In the meantime take photo after photo and store them off your computer.

In fact store every as copies off your computer. If it crashes then you wont lose the evidence.
