Well I'm back now after half a day spent with my lady.
I am happy to report that she actually exists. She looks a lot like she does in her photos, and I have to say that seeing somebody on webcam is a very good indication of what they will look like in reality. The 10 EMF then a webcam session should be a new rule.
First impressions of her were a bit hmmmm. She came in stinking of tobacco, which scared the hell out of me. But I think she must have got the world's heaviest smoker as a taxi driver! Also she isn't as tall as her chnlove profile claimed, although I have to say she's probably just about the ideal size for me and I am overjoyed that she isn't so tall that wearing heels would result in her towering over me. Her first choice of outfit wasn't really to my taste either.
When she arrived in the hotel lobby she was shaking like a leaf, the poor girl! She could barely work her translator her hands were shaking so much. Are other ladies like this when you first meet them? But we had a free drink from the bar while the hotel made her room ready. I must have said the right things because she soon calmed down! Her English isn't great, but it's better than my Mandarin. We have an incredible array of technology available to us though, so we're getting by.
I have to say that my lady isn't the most beautiful woman I have seen out here. Wow, that sounds a bit harsh. But she exudes smouldering sexuality. Gentlemen, you know what I am talking about. Some women have it, many do not. This is great, because a lot of these stunning Chinese women can tend to be very cold. My goodness, this is a seriously sexy woman, the kind you would do anything for! My initial fear is that there would be no chemistry between us. Chemistry is difficult to judge from a webcam. But I have no problems there. I have not had feelings this strong for a woman in quite some time, maybe not in my entire life.
Her voice is absolutely beautiful, probably the sexiest voice in China. I know I am not just saying this, because she was a very talented singer in her youth. I need to learn more about this. I will have to ask her to sing for me, but without the horror of Karaoke involved.
On our first date we had a very scary taxi trip to see the river Yangtze. Wow, it's big. There were lots of kite sellers. But no wind is terrible for business. I took a photo of my lady. She's amazingly good at striking a pose. God I wish I had my SLR and pro quality lens here.
Then we went for a little walk and found a little Chinese restaurant. The menu was all in Chinese. I had chicken and rice. Man, was it hot! I also had green tea. Hmm, the tea branches were in the glass. Unusual, but it tasted OK. My lady got the woman to take a photo of us (attached). Wow, 10 million people in Wuhan and we get the worst photographer in town.
After that we had a walk around the hip new shopping district. My lady was regretting her choice of footwear. I have to remember to walk more slowly when a lady is beside me. My lady kept asking for directions. She is a confident lady. I think she would be very good at organising my life.
We finished off with going to McDonalds. I didn't really want to eat there, but I thought it was a good place to go for a little stroll. My lady took her chips back to her room in a doggie bag. I've not seen anyone do this before.
Guys, if you think you will get stared at for being a Westerner here, just wait until you have a Chinese woman by your side. Wow, I have never seen so much rubbernecking in my life. Yesterday I got furtive glances, today very obvious stares! Especially from young women. My lady seems unfazed by it though, and I am one of those people who really don't care what others think about me. I get the feeling people wouldn't dare say anything to my lady, hee hee.
By the way, outside of the hotel I've still not seen any Westerners in Wuhan.
Tomorrow we might go to the zoo and see the dancing bears. The Panda is on loan to another zoo apparently.
Am I now the luckiest man alive? Discuss...
