I totally cease to function whenever the temperature drops below 26 C....how would I go in B-in- F where I am told that on a warm day the temp actually gets above zero !!!!...also, having just learned that you dont drink, and I dont like to drink alone....how would we go  :-\ :-\ :-\....much better you come to sunny Aus...and bring Willy with you.

Your right David, B and F's are the words I often use about that place.    Now getting to Aus will be a great idea.  Trouble is the Wee Scottish one does not even drink halves.  (Well pints would be out of the question anyway).  But the speed he scampers around I bet he could keep our glasses full while we sat back and enjoyed a spell of watching leather on willow.

OK so who is going to ask w t f is leather on willow.

Willy I would say that it is another one of those terms the British use to confound the world with but I do happen to know that willow on leather means the ball hitting the bat in cricket.

Thank you for those who have commented I am enjoying the updates.  Please update us and as Arnold would say with pictures.

I'm here sir, my apologies for being a little late for roll call, but I had good reason.
Previously I was here on duty almost everyday (since my trip to China in May), in the quiet corner opposite Willy.

But for the whole of October I have been AWOL because my GF (now fiancée) has been here with me in NZ.
Anna got her passport, visa, employment leave, tickets, and arrived here for a month with just 1 very small suitcase which was mostly filled with generous gifts for all my family and friends. She left with 3 suitcases and several shopping bags full of gifts for her family and friends.

I'll report the details later (well not all the details), but suffice it to say things are going very well, she loved it here, but we now have a long wait until we can be married in about a year's time. Then all the immigration stuff starts for her and her daughter, and no doubt I'll be needing more advice then.

Tis only me here , always nosing around , Sujuan is back in Shenyang at present , for a couple of months , bought a new unit has had it fitted out so no more hotel bills and somewhere for her Mum and sister to stay when they visit from out of town , over there it would seem more than 50 km is out of town , here I drive that far for a good feed , nevertheless she was kind enough to leave me with 3 minders , so I can go out so long as I take one of them with me ha ha , but with qq and her other lines of communication she is running her business here via a manageress and overseeing her Chinese interests on the ground , all I have to do is remember not to dance to close to my minders ha ha  ;) .

I'm here now and again, but life is life and keeping me busy. Married life is great, we are weighing the options of business in Handan and she doesn't believe me that as an Accountant, I know how to run businesses in multiple cities, let alone two different countries. Oh the joy of ERP software. Now if Laolao would just stay out of our business...

I am enjoying life in Chongqing with my wife waiting for my first-born to make an appearance, probably next month. I check in here most days.

Usually check in most days. Jing & I go back almost 2 years now. Life is good, getting better.
I remind myself of my solo years, stranded in the wilderness, looking into the warm glow of
the 'good' life. Now :)
I would not change a thing. Maybe there is something about 'fate' after all.

James, Qing and I tried to call Min for you.. but her Phone was turned off. It was 12 noon in China at the time, so she might be at work and can not have a cell-phone with her on "On". We will try again tomorrow and some later in the week and we'll see. I'm eager to hear her voice too for the first time, as you know she's my little "Sister".
