I wanna thank U all for your support and the brotherhood brought here, don't change it ^^
(in fact, why should U? ^^)

Yeah, I could say I'm a bit excited but it's normal, I think ^^

Ting wrote me, she thinks she will come to the airport with her sister and a translator from the agence (who is since many weeks a good friend of her) ^^
Well... being "nice" received is really a good thing, I just hope I won't sleep when I'll be with them at the airport and later ^^

I will write more before being in the plane, and just after, and.... once I'll be in Beijing, and Chongqing

See ya all ^^

[Sylvain D]

Thanks again, all

I'm just ending with my luguages and see what should be primordial to have with me on plane (like my netbook, maybe a book, too and my phone or any other mp3 listener)
I have bought an international adaptator, too, so there should be no problems once there for that

Ting wrote me today again, she's very happy that we finally will see each other in less than 48 hours right now ^^
Well, I'm just like more and more happy to go there.
I just realize too that one week will (for sure) be too short, but I'll have a first "impression" about the country and so on.
And if all can be ok, I'll maybe go back there in October...

By the way, I just want to say a "big up" to all of you, because, since the beginning I signed up on the facebook's forum (and here, later), there was always a "nice atmosphere", very good things to share and to read. As I said before, I envy most of you who have been in China, met their ladies and married them. It's only a beautiful story to live in all of your life, and I just hope that mine will be the first chapter of a very very long story.
For sure, too, once I'll be flying to China to see Ting, I'll be thinking to all of you again, saying myself "now it's my turn :icon_cool:"

Ting troubled me many times because she's very very beautiful, so I just hope to not be so "shy" when I'll see her ^^

I think everything is ok.
I will upload many movies on my netbook, and buying any "gifts" for Ting and her parents.
Well, I was thinking about a bottle of "Beaujolais" or anything like that for her father, and for her mother, I think, maybe some chocolates, tomorrow, from Belgium. It could be a nice idea I think, because there are some chocolates which are very nice quality (as Leonidas)
And for Ting, I'll see, too. Not decided yet for that

See ya all, i'll keep this topic up everytime I can

First day.... wow...

Well, I'm finally arrived.
After the landing in Beijing where someone was ill, we were asked to be checked twice with temperature, just to prevent for swine flu. Once we lived the plane, there was a group, full protected, who was ready to infiltrate to the plane and to speak to the person who was ill.
I had to fullfill any administrative papers and I could change my sweat quickly before landing off from Beijing.

Once I was in Chongqing, I looked many minutes for Ting, who wasn't there.
For sure, I became anxious, nervous and I dialed her number. In fact, I got someone who said she wasn't Ting and that she didn't know how I had her mobile number.
Well, from it, I said I just was lost.
I looked around for about 30 mins, and finally, seing that I could not join Ting, I choosed to go to the Hilton Hotel via a taxi.
I would have regretted to take it, if I didn't like speeding. The driver who was in the taxi just was mad enough to create a big accident  He drove without any restriction.
Once I was at the hotel and got my room, I tried to connect on QQ and then, Ting connected to tell me why she could not contact me, nor that she could not come.
I explained how I've looked for her, then the felt sorry again for the circumstance, but as I said, all was ok, as I was to the hotel.
She decided to come with her sister and a translator from the Agency, 2 hours later.
Between those 2 hours, I decided to "test" my bed for sleeping and in fact, I sleeped.

I heard knocking at my door a few times and then, I decided to go there and then, when I opened... it was her!
I let you imagine my smile to see her, more beautiful in real than in pictures. She was here, waiting for the room to be opened, and the meaning of our common feelings, just so true.

I will see tomorrow if I can post some pics.
Right now, I'm totally K.O, I haven't sleeped a lot between yesterday morning and today.
