Hebei, Round 2

So before I returned from my previous trip which now seems ages ago, I had purchased tickets for two more trips. Ironically, after the whole break up incident, which I always seem to get dumped from the distance, I must have good puppy dog eyes. anyway, so I'm trying to figure out what to do on my next two trips when I'm on qq chatting with people and I get this strange message, "she is not worth your pain", I'm thinking naturally "WT??" as most would do.

Long story short, the zhongyi experience I had in China was actually a blessing in disguise, I remember this big argument in the clinic after I was "tested" and drank the vial of flaming body juice. Big argument, between the ladies behind the counter and my then sweetheart, now estranged friend who I somewhat chat with. Because she has a jealousy issue. Of course they argued at a very fast clip and I was lost, couple of the old ladies in the next room came over and inquired to the argument and joined in.

One of the ladies behind the counter, who administered my "test" kept giving me the eye during the exam, really difficult for me, sweet smile, beautiful eyes, perfect person to flirt with and I'm in the office with the person I'm supposed to be marrying. Well, as it turns out, the argument was about the thought of her marrying me. The old ladies really let her have it. The young lady who did the test sent me the aforementioned strange message.

That night, we talked, and talked and talked. next day nothing. We have talked every day since. She realized I was trying to decide what to do on my next two visits, inquired as to my visa type and we have really hit it off. Is it healthy to pick up so soon after a disaster like the one I had, no idea, I am no head shrinker. Do I care, I'm having quality talks in both Chinese and English and she's helping me learn more quickly. She remembers things, like family names and she likes my dog, thinks he's cute.

So we agreed, my next trip in June, because I bought the tickets and thought "refund minus fee" loss of rewards miles, ah to hell with it not doing anything else that week anyway, I'm going back to Handan. Sorry John, won't see ya there, I don't arrive til the 21st. 

So I am less than 3 weeks away from a second trip, questioning my sanity to the matter, but I smile every time I see a message from her, even before I read it. Best thing, she is a bit of a smart @--, which fits with my family. If this goes well, she is going to take me to Rizhao and I will finally get a couple days in Beijing in September, with her as my guide. Oh and she studied in Beijing and unlike the last one, she's told me, "I will see you at the airport and mama want's to see you also." She also plans to put me on the plane. She is a smart cookie, just like many music students throughout the world, she does not work in her field. It's ok, she's pretty good at this zhongyi stuff and she's already promised to torture me with a cupping session.

so we're having fun talking and she's making plans for all the things she is going to do to me, with me, I lost track. I am not certain if we are visiting a day spa or not, hot springs and massages sounded good to me, but she wants to optimize time and show me everything that I didn't see before. Which I admit, I did feel like I was getting the abbreviated tour before, the nice restaurants, but no real sightseeing. Explains a lot I believe...

anyway, she's taken to telling me I need to go to bed at night, because I will get old if I do not.  ;D sure thing! interesting to hear the different things she says compared to how I was treated before, but I believe this has a lot to do with life situations.

one major change in plans, she, her mom, her friends mom are all meeting me at the airport in Beijing...  and then we are going for kaoya! I like this plan, even if I am out the Beijing price of a family dinner. Who cares, it's kaoya!! Have I mentioned I like duck?

She also informed me that she, and her mother are both not from Handan, they live there. I know her grandma (laolao) is from Rizhao, which we will visit in September. So I am learning a lot from her. Vastly different from past experiences. Guess it's the difference between a woman who is interested in me and a woman who was just interested in my bank account. There was that tip off from the sweetheart on the first night.

Anyway, just keeping a fresh thread here before I board the plane, two weeks this time, I will be there. not here. not that it matters, it's hot and miserable in both towns! yeah summer, and people wonder why I like spring and fall...
