These came from the "Beijinger " Forum from a thread called "How to love and make a Chinese Woman happy."

Take her shopping
Buy her a large bowl of noodles
Let her watch TV the whole day
Take her out for a movie
Call her every 10 minutes and tell her where you are
Tell her you love her-In Chinese
Carry her bag and give her your wallet
...

A; Give her a sh*t-ton of cash.

B; Take her shopping.

C; Give her a sh*t-ton of cash.

D; Take her shopping.

E; Give her a sh*t-ton of cash.

F; Take her shopping.

G; Accept that you are only a simple Laowai and while anything from her mouth is nothing short of wisdom imbued pearl, you on the other hand as an ignorant barbarian do not know sh*t from shoeshine.

Now I have been here a year now and all who visits China mention the traffci and the driving.

With chaotic road system and driving conditions and drivers who do not care which side of the road they drive on then can someone tell me where all the bumps and dents in cars are.

I look out of my window and see cars in good conditions not dents not scratches no damage at all.

Good point Willy. I hear nothing but complaints of the chinese drivers here.

When I was in Changsha on my first trip, I had gotten together with Peter.  This was one of our observations as well...the traffic was insane...cars coming to withing an inch of another car...but nobody had scrapes or dents.

Thanks Mike,

My father said I should learn something new everyday and today it was  "Shinola "! I love finding out the history of sayings so that's another one crossed of the list.

A truly inspirational young Australian.  I have seen an interview that Nick did before he left Australia and moved over seas.  Very emotional and inspirational.  I had forgotten about him thank you for reminding me.  When I read about his life story it is painfully obvious that I have nothing to complain about and that all my problems in life need to be put into context against his life and challenges.  Nothing compares and all my mountains are really mole hills.
I WILL have my revenge for having to be clean shaven......once I learn how to tame my Dragon.

Give it a listen:- LOVE CHINA RADIO

http://www.lovechina.asia/chinese-music.htm

LOVE CHINA plays songs sung in both Mandarin "Mandopop" and Cantonese "Cantopop". Hong Kong artists often sing in English too. Although Mainland China has the largest Mandarin speaking population in the world, the island of Taiwan has always been both the musical and industrial powerhouse of the Mando-pop genre.  Canto-pop originates from Hong Kong, and is strongly influenced by western pop. It's popular throughout Asia, particularly in Singapore, Malaysia and South Korea.
Love Music - Love Life - LOVE CHINA.

You got to love this guy...

This is a true story about a recent
wedding that took place at Clemson University

It was in the local newspaper and even
Jay Leno mentioned it.

It was a huge wedding with about 300 guests.

After the wedding, at the reception, the groom got up on stage

with a microphone to talk to the crowd.
He said he wanted to thank
everyone for coming, many from
long distances, to support them
at their wedding.
         

He especially wanted to thank the bride's and his family and to thank his new father-in-law for providing such a lavish reception.

As a token of his deep appreciation
he said he wanted to give everyone
a special gift just from him.

So taped to the bottom of
everyone's chair, including the wedding party was an envelope.

He said this was his gift to
everyone, and asked them to
open their envelope.



                                                                                               
Inside each manila envelope was an 8x10 glossy

of his bride having sex with the best man.

The groom had gotten suspicious
of them weeks earlier and had
hired a private detective to tail
them.

After just standing there, just watching the
guests' reactions
for a couple of minutes, he
turned to the best man and
said, 'F---you!' T hen he turned
to his bride and said, 'F--- you!'

Then he turned to the
dumbfounded crowd and said,
'I'm outta here.'

He had the marriage annulled
first thing in the morning.

While most people would have canceled the wedding
immediately after finding out
about the affair, this
guy goes through with the
charade, as if nothing were wrong.

His revenge--making the bride's parents pay over $32,000 for a
300-guest wedding and reception, and best of all, trashing the
bride's and best man's reputations
in front of 300 friends and family members.

This guy has balls the size of church bells.

Do you think we might get a MasterCard 'priceless'
commercial out of this?

Elegant wedding reception
for 300 family members and
friends: $32,000.

Wedding photographs commemorating the Occasion: $3,000

Deluxe two-week
honeymoon accommodations in Maui : $8,500.

The look on everyone's face
when they see the 8x10 glossy
of the bride humping the best man: Priceless.

There are some things money
can't buy, for everything else
there's MASTERCARD
