China Trip 5.0
Pineau:
Brett,
Wait until your out of the shower drying off and a mosquito lands on your balls. It will be one of the toughest decisions you will ever make.

Yeah I did go to Japan and met a few ladies there. Unfortunately the best one wore a tiny dress to our date, got a chill, then the flu and I never saw her again. The good thing was that Miss Woo was instantly forgotten the minute I saw this very beautiful Japanese girl!
Well mostly the trip was a failure but it came down to the same problem I'm having in China today, namely that the majority of 30 something single women have, er, issues. There are some real gems out there, but there's often a good reason why they've been left on the shelf. I've had far more success dating the under 30's. The age difference is getting to be an issue though, so maybe I'll bale out at some point and go to Thailand or the Phillies.
Anyway, after coming back from Japan (and missing the tsunami by 99 days) I had a couple of trips to Guangzhou. For me Guangzhou was a revelation - it was a vibrant bustling city with a metro and loads to see and do. So much better than Wuhan was! I also met some fabulous ladies. I met a couple of potential wives, but nobody I felt I wanted to commit to.
During that time my job was going stale so I decided to come and live in Guangzhou for a while. It took me a year to sell my stuff and get things organised. And here I am. I've had absolutely no regrets about quitting my job. Home is now very much where my laptop is. Actually I've been doing very well financially since I got here. I now have a lot of time on my hands, especially since I no longer sit and watch the TV all night like I used to in England. I'm also losing weight, which was another goal I had.
Anyway, I'm glad I came here as it's much easier to find a Chinese wife if you're here. Plus I get to find out a lot more about the culture. Living in the dump that is this part of Baiyun is an interesting experience.
As to my current ladies, well I want to see Miss Xiang again but of course the only girl I want to go on a second date with is proving exceedingly hard to woo. I have another hot prospect, but she lives out of town so it's a bit of an effort to meet her.
Shenzhen is marginally easier for meeting ladies - the place is awash with very smart office ladies. I might well widen the net a bit and look for ladies in other cities. I'm also looking for other ways of meeting ladies. I went to a dating party but didn't see anyone I liked. I've joined a Chinese only dating site but without any English on there it's exceedingly hard to get my profile done. Oh well I'll report back if I get some success there. I've also found a speed dating event, but I need to find time to go to that.
At times I think my life is like Jerry Seinfeld's when he dates the low talker and all those other women with various issues. I met one Sichuan girl last week who was so fierce she practically force fed me the food I didn't want to eat. Well at least she was entertaining :P.
In the meantime, well woman watching is awesome here. There are just so many exotic beauties tottering about town on towering platform heels. Yeah, it's a good place to hang out for a while.
P.S. The mosquitoes here are very aggressive. I got out of my mosquito tent in the night to go to the loo and a mosquito went up my nose. But thankfully being so aggressive they're quite easy to see off with the electric tennis racquet.

Brett I need to tell you this man to man.
You do not stick the electronic tennis raquets up you nose and then press the button. ;D ;D ;D

Ha ha ha. I was wondering how much damage they would do to a person. Mine said 2000V on the wrapper, but the handle says it delivers 3000V.
Saw a salesperson demonstrating them by holding a leaf - it looked pretty dangerous!
They will kill roaches, but it takes a few goes. I'll try it on one of those monster flying roaches if I see another one, but by all accounts they're pretty rare. I wished I'd photographed it as it was absolutely enormous.

Cook it thoroughly on your racquet 'frying machine' and it will make the best part of your next dinner. Add little pepper and a dip in soy sauce. Hmm Delicious ::)
Save the rear left leg though as that makes a fine toothpick.
