My Zhanjiang adventure
Vince G:
Sounds like a successful trip. At least you know she is real and fitting.
chen yan:
Hans,good news!Great men always be good luck.
Hans:
Thank you all of you!
I didn't buy an electronic translator mainly because there was very little time before I left and I also felt I had to put the money on the trip itself. I plan on buying one before our next time together, though. We did use my computer when at the hotel room together, both MDBG and Google translate helped a lot when there was confusion and there was something important we wanted to say. The culture differences caused a big misunderstanding the last day but we managed to sort it out with help of online translating. We have both urged for the need of patience and to solve misunderstandings and/or problems through communication so I think it will work out.
Yeah, Brett, you can get pretty far with fewer words in Chinese, no doubt. And yes Peter, let's keep that smile for ourselves! People don't know what they are missing out on. :icon_cheesygrin:
Willy, both my lady and the staff of the agency laughed at my Beijing dialect because as you know it is recognisable through the "rrr"s in the end like youdianr, huar etc. This became like a joke between me and my lady. I was a bit surprised though when I first talked to my lady on the phone that she could speak Mandarin that I could easily understand. She uses other words than I am used to sometimes, but there is no problem to understand her dialect if I know the words. Cantonese, however, is quite a different thing. They don't even have the same word för "thank you"...
Pictures are coming. I am in bed today with a fever (a cold after the tip to China and some fever after the trip home, that's a jackpot I guess) but I'll find some pics and upload them later.

Sorry you caught a cold in China, and then again in Sweden ... are the indestructible Vikings not that indestructible anymore? :icon_cheesygrin:
Sounds like your trip was successful all the same, I'm not surprised the two of yopu did not share the same room, if you're 28, then she must be a good bit younger, that kind of interaction will probably have to wait until after marriage.
Keep it coming!
Congrats,
Frank
