This morning I spoke with a woman in China with Yahoo IM, web cams and a call through the computer, she is beautiful and she looks like she is only in her mid 30's although she's not, she is older, anyway, we talked from 6 am until noon today, I feel like we know each other from an other life time. :D
I had to use google translate for most of what she wrote but could understand most of what she said, but was very hard sometimes. :o
now could someone please tell me what Lao Gong ( I think this is how it's spelled, I spelled it the way it sounded ) means? :-\
Thanks in advance
-
Lao Gong....Husband, Lao Po...wife...
Sounds like a serious conversation Michael !!!
Good luck...DavidE

consider using www.mdbg.net (http://www.mdbg.net) instead of Google translate. It uses Google translate's back-end, but lists the characters and their possible meanings. It's a great way to learn the characters, the pinyin pronunciation and the possible meanings (to prevent misunderstandings that are sure to arise). It even will allow you to listen to the words individually.
I just got back from China actually, and MDBG was very slow (because of Google being blocked in China I believe). I had to rely on Yahoo translate and Bing translate, which led to many bad translations. Google is the clear winner when it comes to the technology. Many times Yahoo would forget verbs.

If she tells you about "soft bones"....then things are getting REAL serious ;D ;D ;D ;D

try this: http://fanyi.cn.yahoo.com/translate_txt (http://fanyi.cn.yahoo.com/translate_txt)
it is yahoo but the chinese version. works the best for me and my wife, there are still times i have to use a second program, but for the most part. this works very well.

Lao Gong means husband? holy sh*t!! she called me husband? after only6 hours talking? wow, do all these women make up thier minds this fast?
Thanks Mr. Niel I'll try that tomorrow night when we talk again.
Mr. Mike, she did say that a couple of times when we were talking, and Mr. Dave E we did talk and type about everything you could think of but not anything about soft bones.... what the hell are soft bo..ooohhhh.... never mind hehehe, I know.., although she did at one point ask me if I was a strong male, and told me she was a warm woman, but that we would have to see how we got along.
Lao Gong, wow, I'll tell you all the truth, I am starting to have some feelings for this lady oh her name is Xu Hui.
Thanks for the advice, hints, laugh and the answers, you guys are a fountain of info.
Thanks Buzz I'll give this a try also.

Also, I am thinking the same thing you are,.................I think :o
-
Michael, Barrow-in-Furness is in the North West of ENGLAND...
The UK CONSISTS OF 5 seperate countries, but compose the United Kingdom or Great Britian:
England
Scotland
Wales
(IRELAND):
Southern Ireland (Eire)
Northern Ireland

6 hours talking to a Chinese woman! Hell that's not any woman thats now called a fiance. ;D
Willy
-
Well thank you mr. Rob, that helps a lot, but I don't think I'll ever go there, it sounds like it might be lost, hahaha, sorry.
Mr. Mike, I think your right about the flirting because she said it a few times and every time she said this she would blush all the way to her upper chest :-[, i thought it was cute and sexy at the same time. ;D
Mr. Willy, ohm, now lets not go to fast here :o, Fiance is a very strong word for just knowing a woman for 6 hours, but my God what a woman ;D :-[
-
"Ok David I give up...'Soft Bones'?...Am I right in thinking what, I 'think' I'm thinking!!!!... "
Probably not...you naughty Haggis basher !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"soft bones" has nothing to do with men............ 8) 8)
It is a Chinese woman's expression for "feeling weak at the knees"...if you get my drift ????

Rob
I think you forgot a few of the Countries that make up the UK....
Bangladesh
Pakistan
Kenya
Nigeria
Jamaica
Sudan
Saudi Arabia
....and maybe 25 others that slip my mind just now ;D ;D ;D ;D
I dont think there are many people left there from the 5 "Countries" you mentioned !!!! ????

Actually the UK is four countries - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Southern Ireland, Eire, or the Republic of Ireland (whatever you want to call it) is a completely separate nation.

David E...my mistake... :D :D :D
Seagull you are right, my mistake....., I stand corrected :o
-
Sounds like what you need to do now Michael is send Vince a PM and in it just write
Michael and Xu Hui E
And he will take care of it for you. I always cry at weddings.

Mr. Mike, when we were talking this morning she started flirting again so I flirted right back, man did she really turn red, smiled giggled like a school girl and flirted some more, it was the damnest thing to watch and hear, I didn't know they could turn so red :D.
Mr. Jimmy, now lets slow down some, we'll see where this goes, but the way she's acting i think she might have made up her mind about me or is just still testing the water, I'm not sure how to read this about her, any one have any thoughts about it? :o
-
Listen to the guys here... From my little experience these women are very very honest and sincere. I have not regreted for a second starting what you are now. I have a wonderful wife to show for it now. Enjoy the ride!
Frankly I think your hooked and ready for the "live well"
-
If I remember Michael this lady was introduced via a friend , which would explain why she is so relaxed from the outset, if you think she is bright and bubbly now just wait till you show her your airline ticket ;D , you have lots to discuss , but you will find that they are even nicer when meeting face to face , regards Sujuan and Robert .
-
This thread is getting to be a good read! Michael, flirting back to them is a lot of fun. The lady I have been web camming with will sometimes web cam me from her work. I flirt with her sometimes while she is at work and then she really blushes, especially when some of her co-workers catch her at it! ;)

Mr. Mike, I can only talk to one woman at a time, my jimminy criket won't let me do otherwise ;), besides, I'm having to much fun with this one to look around for another, and she really has my full attention.
Mr. Kenny, from what i have read here and what I am being told, this is great info and help, for which I say thank you to you all.
Mr. RobertB., your right, her cousin introduced us so I'll have to do something extra nice for the cousin, I told Xu Hui that i would not be able to come to China until next summer some time, she was very happy to hear i could come to China but worried about it taking so long, but thats when i can get a 1 month vacation, she seems to be okay with this.
Besides, I'm in no rush, I want to learn most if not all i can about her before I go and have to deal with her Mama and Baba and son, nephews, and such before I will have time alone with her.
Mr. Bee, I'll have to try flirting with her at work and see her reaction LOL ;D

Since it hasn't been said I would like to jump to the front and steal Maxx's thunder. Michael you need to within 3 or 4 months. And to quote my special woman Peggy, "You must!"
Don't let any of us give you a hard time. You go when you are able to spend the most time there. I went for 10 days and then 2 months later for a month. Prepare to have your world turned upside down and enjoy every minute of it.

I would have liked to do the same as you did, Shaun...
But I don't think my boss would had agree.... ;D
By the way, nice story, Michael. Even if 6 hours are short but can make something happen in your feelings... just let the things go its own way, and follow what your feelings say to you.
And if you have to go there later...So....
don't forget to let us know about that :)
-
Mr. Shaun, please tell Mrs. Peggy, I would love to go to China again, I've been there once in zhuhai ( spelling? ) just because it was there and I wanted to see if China was like what my mind thought it was when I was a kid, it wasn't, it was better, anywayyyy.... I can't take anymore time off from work until maybe July and then I can have the full month off. :D
Mr.Sylvain D., Thank you sir, I will always follow my mind and then my heart, I want to be smart about this little adventure, I want to make sure it will last the rest of my life.
the rest of you guys are a riot ;D ;D
Okay, l;last night, Hui and I spent a few hours talking, I have " meet her mama and Baba" on Skype and Mama was extremely happy to talk to me ( okay she talked, Hui translated and I listened ), her Mama said when I come I must stay with them and she will make me dumpling :P :) ( I love dumplings ), I then spoke with her baba ( again He talked, Hui translated, I listened and answered questions ) between her Mom and Dad i felt like I went through the most intense interrogation of my life :o, but it was cool :D
This morning we talked some more for about three hours, Oh before I forget, Baba said this morning that I could visit with his daughter ( I think I know what that means, no not that ::) ), I think he approves of me, okay, so we are talking and she stops and says I am her man and I am not to see anyone else except her, and then she says if that is okay with me. ( it is ) ;)
Sorry I'm a little long winded today but I'm excited about this whole business. :D
I did forget to say that she sent me some very provocative photos of herself, all dressed up sexy and the whole time watching for my reaction and blushing profusely, so I gave her the reaction she wanted and she really blushed :-[ ( what great fun ) ;D

Micheal,
Its fun,exciting,intriguing,interesting but slow down and take it one day at a time. Believe me you and
her will benefit in the long run from this. To many men listen to what they "must do" and it puts them in
a financial situation that is not good for either party.
I know of men who sell things to go see her or close stocks or borrow on retirements and thats just a
formula for disaster for the two of you. Just be honest and tell her when you can go there. Dont rush into
anything.
I was fortunate enough to make enough money to travel to China for many years and it still took a while
when the bottom fell out in the economy to find a lady who wasnt going to push me to do something that
i didnt want to after losing tons of money on the business and basically crimping my style as they say.
So it can be done without all the burdens and discomfort that 1 lady can cause you if you get wrapped up
in all the newness of it. And remember you are bringing her there to live dont deplete everything you have
to just visit China. A good lady will understand your looking out for the future.
Although i will say some dont like a long term plan they want it now but its best to know this in the beginning
and not at a later date after all the expense of going there.
-
Mr. Ted, thank you for the wise words, I have told her that July would be the soonest I could come and she was okay with this, saying that I was a smart man to come on bosses money ( i don't know if they understand "vacation Pay" or not ).
No matter what happens, I will not mess up my retirement plans by selling any of my stocks or touching my 401k plan, this is the money I plan on using to retire to China with.
Hui also says that she likes the way I plan things out ( I know that the best laid plans of mice and men...) I told her I would come next July and stay a month, then again in November for 3 weeks, after that if all works out for us then I will return in March of 2012, we will see.
Now no matter what, I will retire to China in 11 years,well there or Indonesia, I can't decide, I guess it depends on the lady I'm with too, anyway to far into the future to decide now.
Mr. Ted, I know what I hear I must do and I know what I will do and most of them are NOT the same, some I just can't do because of $ and some I will do because I should and some I will do because I can, I guess it all depends on the timing, anyway I guess I'm trying to say is that We are in no rush to make this happen before it's time, this we are seeing eye to eye on.
Hui's Mom asked me today some personal questions, like how much money I make a month, how much money I had in the bank, and what kind of money did I have for our future life, now even though these question were none of her business ( at least to me ) I seen the look on Hui's face and new these I should answer so I told her the answers and she seemed to be very happy with the answers once the amounts were converted to RMBs.
By the way, Hui and I spoke again for about 2 and a half hours tonight again.
Can someone please tell me why I am being grilled like this all of a sudden? It's a little unsettling if you know what I mean.
-
Its the family grilling you for the potenteil support down the road. Done a lot by the ones
from the countryside with really nothing.

oh ??? and Thanks Mr. Ted, I'm not sure I like that so much
-
Hm ! , whilst I can partially agree with Ted , you have not mentioned what part of The Middle Kingdom your Hui resides in , but for the parents they have over the course of a week had 2 shocks , 1 being that their daughter has met a whitie , and 2 that she has talked to them about being serious in her talking with you and they can see that she is happy , what they would most like to know is that their daughter will be well looked after in heart and soul after all there are more players in China than even in the States and the parents not knowing a lot about the U S A except probably bad things that have been told over the years , they probably are still confused by this steamroller event , so I would not be worried by these questions as China families are very open with all of their answers to our questions , we just have to be diplomatic in how we ask them ;D , and don't forget you are not visiting for another 9 months so Hui's on hold till then , regards Sujuan and Robert .
-
Hello Mr. Robert B., Hui is from Heping district of Shenyang, in liaoning province, and please tell me anything you may be able to tell about the culture, I know some but willing to bet I don't really know squat compared to the rest of you, so any help from everyone is a BIGhelp and thanks in advance guys or girls if any.
-
Hi Michael , my Sujuan and her daughter are from Shenyang also , they have a new underground train system opening this month runs for over 22 kilometers and it as everything that is new does , looks very nice , and as with most things in China has not taken long to build . only as a time waster [ or you get hooked ] put into your favourites , china daily .com , an english version paper which can make for interesting reading , don't know which part of the states you are in but liken it to maybe L A .
We have a couple of our members in Shenyang at the present so they can also add to this , and as for where the prettiest ladies live in China the answer is simple --- where your lady is from ;D , oh and by the way it is cold and snows around our xmas time there so July sounds good , regards Sujuan and Robert .
-
Hi Mr. RobertB., I am happy to hear there are some folks here that have ladies from Shenyang here, this way I can find out things about the part of China i'll need to know and will know where I am talking about when i get back.
I will tell Xu Hui about you and Sujuan and her daughter living in Shenyang, Hui's son is a member of the police force in China, this month he is checking on the other police in Shenzhen, and I think she said he will be back in the main office in Beijing after that then he will come see her, I asked what his uniform looked like and she said he wears a grey suite from H.K. ;D, with a little red button on his lapell :o, so i am thinking a detective, right.
Mr. Robert, I live in the State of Pennsylvania in the northeast of the country, so I know snow and cold up here in the mountains foothills, I grew up in the Mountains of Pa. near Erie Pa., talk about cold.
where I live there are a lot of Chinese people but most of them are from Gongdong China.
I must say that you are a wealth of info sir and thank you.
-
Okay a real good question here, Hui's son set up an account with QQ for her and one for me, how do I get to it?
-
Once you install QQ on your machine you should be able to sign on using either your QQ number or your email that was used when originaly making the QQ account. If he set it up for you then you would need to get the QQ number and password. Better bet for your own security is just download QQ yourself and open an account. Then you need her QQ number to find her then add her to your friend list.
-
Thanks guys, I have my QQ number and password, maybe it is safer to just set up my own. :-\
