Introduction, and some of my story

[Rhonald]

Hello Halpint and yes a hearty welcome back to my favorite member with a Pharaoh's sounding name "metooap"

[Willy The Londoner]

My life started here when I stepped onto Chinese soil and realised how much I had missed for the past 60 years.

Like your new avatar Robbie.  Is that your cousin sitting next to you?

Rhonald, Scottish_Rob and all

It is great to be back!

Looks like I will be parked in Hengshui City in the Hengshui Lake area for quite sometime; probably for the next 3 years. We are developing a community there 50 businesses, hotel, etc. exciting stuff but a lot of work.

I am tired as heck - want to take a break with some like minded folks - then I am back at it again.

One day  I may well go through the A-Z of my life here.  From A right through to X Y Z.  X is  for Xia she would have cost me a lot, Y is for YouYuan my wife who gives me more than I deserve, and Z is for the pleasant sleep I have everynight.

I will skip over the eggs, squat toilets and anything else I managed to upset people with and just say that the past 18 months in China have been the best in my life.

I thought I would be able to avoid the squat toilets in my 10 days there but when mother nature calls, you have no choice.  At least now I know I can do it.
