Two bomb shells today...

(1/3) > >>

I read somewhere yesterday on a post, about how Chinese women don't really share all that much with their men, or men to be... about everyday issues in their lives, see no point in it. I nodded my head and agreed. So during our Skype chat...she mentions that today she bought a new house! Now, I know about how house hungry these gals are, and at one time she mentioned she wanted one for her mother as her father is having very serious health issues at present. Also she believes she won't be allowed into the U.S. without a home in China. I told her as I believe it to be...those rules are for a tourist visa's to ensure there will be a return to China, and that it does not apply as a wife. In Wuhan there's a new complex being built for 6 billion yuan's, compiling of several 34 story buildings. They promise completion in about two years. So from my point of view, I would have liked to add some input myself. We had talked of coming back to China when I retire, but I would never want to retire to the "stovepipe" and smog in Wuhan.

Second bomb! She thinks we should have a baby! haha  On a good day I can almost tie my shoes! I laughed as she frowned a bit! Heck, my dad did it at 57, I'm 61 this year. Hong assures me at 46 she is still very capable. jeez......... ::)

People! Not that these are burning questions, but I can see there's been an absence of scuttlebutt going on around here, and I'm trying to wake up the dead!)))))))
Maybe not as good as the crosswords but, hey!

Lucky that my wife is in China for 2 weeks "family reunion"...thus I am Bacheloring again and bored to tears...so I can happily spend a few moments responding to your bombshells!!!

MMMMM....about babies......I went through this saga for nearly 6 months. I am possibly the oldest member here....me or Willy would be in a close race for that honour ...and my wife was continually prompting me to consider a child...that was BEFORE we were married. Once we actually got married and she came to Aus, she reluctantly 'fessed up that she did not really want another child (she is 45 by the way) but she was told that she MUST be prepared to have a child with her new Western Man...he will demand it !!!!...so, maybe your Lady is going through the "unrealistic expectations" when she mentions another child...maybe it will all go away once she is sure of you and has a wedding ring on her finger.

If not...well, its really up to you...and the best of luck. For me, at my age I cant think of anything worse than another baby..........even though its still fun to keep trying !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(better living through modern Chemistry)

As for lack of shared everyday stuff, I have never experienced this, from day one, Ming was keen to share everything about her life, past, present and future. Sometimes I was glassy eyed with all the trivia, but I put on a brave face and humm'd and haaa'd in the right places.......still do.

I guess we all get to know some differences in Chinese Women along this track...vive la difference...as they say !!!

Ha ha Chris , those that are able do like to keep us off balance , Sujuan a few weeks after going back to China whilst her visa was being sorted and being bored also said to me whilst on QQ , " Oh and I have bought an apartment [ generally when you buy new in China it is totally bare , and I mean bare all you get is a front door , plumbing and electrical lines and in the floor waste pipe outlets ] from the time she picked up the keys 4 weeks later she had fitted it out and then and only then did I see it as a finished product , here I think we would still be trying to work out what tiles for the floor ha ha .
 During the Shenyang Christmas time I know it all came together as she was happy with it being minus x outside while she was enjoying 20 + C inside .
 Funny your 2 nd subject has come up a couple of times , but I have just said about my worry about her health  ;D and her now beautiful figure that seems to quieten things down , for the moment , regards Sujuan and Robert .

Bombshells, yeah I've had them all the time from Chinese women.

My last gf announced one day that her parents were actually divorced. Well that was a surprise but it kind of explained a lot.

I don't see the point in buying property in China - the government owns all the land. Seen plenty of evictions here in Guangzhou. And this country has a long history of imploding. For now things are stable, but it could all collapse again.

I went to Wuhan on my infamous first trip to China. It was pretty smoggy when I was there, but the air was even worse in the countryside - a mixture of crop burning and coal power station. If I lived here and got married I'd go to one of the coastal cities like Zhuhai or Xiamen, or further along the coast towards Vietnam. Wuhan is also ferociously cold in Winter, and I've got a lovely photo of the Woo family sitting in their apartment building wearing their coats and hats.

There was also very little for a Western guy to do in Wuhan. At least there's a lot going on in Guangzhou. Just been on my buddy's electric bike for a trip downtown and lunch in a pretty good Turkish restaurant. There are plenty of foreigners here so it's easier to fit in.

Oh well if you're ever in Wuhan again then maybe I could pay another visit. I'd love to sneak round to Mrs Woo's and eat more of her incredible cooking :)
