Well, I really don't need much to write here... as I have my Blog open for pretty much everybody. I'd just be repeating myself.
All I do can say, each year we are now together.. it has not declined one bit since the first time we lay'd eyes on each other. I am now even happier, than with my first Marriage... which sadly included "Jealousy" and that is never good. Qing really is a Wife, I couldn't even have dreamed about... because I never thought.. they excist. :o

Same old same old! Definately not.

Every day is different in China.  New challenges arrive on an almost daily basis.  The past year has been the best ever, just as 2011 was before that and 2010 before that and 2009 before that.

Now into my 4th winter here and although,to me, each feels like they are getting colder I would not change a thing.

No many people make such a dramatic change in their life once they are collecting the seniors pension but I am glad that I did.  I would have like to have come here 30 years or more ago but that would not have been possible as like you all the only reason I am came to China was because of the internet and the internet was not here 30 years ago!   Mind you, no internet, did not stop my Dad from being in China for a couple of years in the early 1930's.

Although at my age getting new languages into my head and retaining it is very difficult but the last year I have learned more. I have made a lot of friends here, all Chinese and have not met many foreigners in my City.  (But then they only come here to steal away OUR beautiful women folk!!)

I can get on the phone and order things. My first achievement was to order water and I was dead chuffed when, following my instructions in Chinese, it was delivered in less than 30 minutes. But now the occasional McDonalds or KFC is only a phone call away.

I look forward to actually passing my 100 question part of the driving test and getting my UK drivers licence exchanged for a Chinese One.  You see I am Old enough and stupid enough to be looking forward to be driving here!

Whatever time I have left I am looking forward to having them in China.  I have bought a home here and yes, I know that they will take it off me in 63 years time but there is not much fear of either myself or my wife seeing that day but in the future she will have security for the years she has beyond me.

Ok a life here is not for everyone but for me it is ideal - in my time I have traveled the world and stayed, many months a time, here and there but this is the one place where I feel completely at home.
