I am so envious Mike and Robert...lol Have a blast guys

[Rhonald]

Have a pleasent trip guys,and Mike, I hope your girl's tree hugging practice will produce sweet fruit :icon_cheesygrin: I am such a sap for tree jokes.

[Arnold]

Rhonald , you've been playing that Pipa too long . Hahahaha

[Rhonald]

She Pines for you Mike....oh my god, another tree joke. Yes I have fond memories of that last week before my first long journey. The letters become so sweet and endearing. Enjoy the suspense Mike. I bet you are even more so checking her pictures and rereading her letters now. Its just like the feelings we had when we were teenagers.

[Scottish_Rob]

Rhonald do you practice the tree jokes or do they just 'grow'?....lol

[Willy The Londoner]

My darling, I read your letter and I close my eyes to imagine the moment I will meet you at the airport, it is so wonderful so beautiful! Sometimes I cannot believe it will happen! But it is true and soon! I love you, Mike, I read your letter again and again and make sure again and again that you are coming to me! I love you! Thanks so much for loving me, my darling sunshine, thanks so much for showing your love to me!

I think she is excited about my trip !!!

so will she hug me ........ yeah, I think she will, and then some !!!

:icon_cheesygrin:

Sorry Mike I do not call that excited.  
I call that ECSTATIC!!!!.  Just how are you going to maintain those Christian values and face the temptation that this lovely lady is going to present you with.

But you know WHO will guide you through this period and that what is ordained will happen.

Willy

[Scottish_Rob]

Willy   LOL I will be guiding him through this 'difficult' period...hehehe by email....lol

[Vince G]

I'd like to see the faces and hear the comments made when Mike and his woman get together? Would it be like...Oh God, Oh God and the neighbors saying that's those crazy christians?

By the way? what does a chinese woman scream out?

[Martin]

Mike...I am very happy to know your trip is almost upon you.  I wish you all the best on your trip, and on your future adventures in China, and beyond.

I look forward to reading your trip posts.

[Willy The Londoner]

I will be praising God for all I am worth, as I experience the Joy, and the Love, and the Passion of what he as done in my life.... by leading me to this beautiful lady ..... for the prayers he has answered, and the awesome blessings he has given and we have received!

God is Glorious and He makes Everything Glorious!!!

I am with you on this Mike.  He has done the same for me.

But as Vince said they are not very romantic in public, except for holding hands.

But when those Chinese kisses start.  Well  sadly I fail on every occasion, (that is in spirit not in the bedroom lads)  But I pray that He will look kindly on me as he lead me to where I am today.

Maybe should be posting this under 'Religion' thread

Maybe should be posting this under 'Religion' thread

No Willy
..... this is my thread I started for my trip, I will not push any posts off of it.... I even invite people to post good thoughts, or even prayers if they like ... which would be very encouraging for me, and my lady as well.

Good thoughts you say?
Well for sure Mike I can pass those along to you.  It is indeed nice to hear when one of us gets set to go and meet that most wonderfull lady.  Just remember you are not an Irishman, and so are expected to post daily here so we may follow your progress.  Yes we all wish to know everything that happens, except of course any truely personal stuff hehe.  However please try to share the rest of the experience, and of course congratulations to the both of you,  I am sure you will have along and happy life under her care.

Regards to you and your lady,

Brian

PS dont forget about the 24 hr rule just in case.

[Scottish_Rob]

"Just remember you are not an Irishman..."

Mike, maybe Jessica will keep you tied up, like what has been happening to Ronan...lol:angel:


"Yes we all wish to know everything that happens, except of course any truely personal stuff "
 
Nah mate don't listen to Brian, we want details....lol:angel::blush::icon_cheesygrin::icon_cheesygrin:

Mike,
 
How far is Qingdao from Zhuhai?

Just asking out of concern for my safety because there is certainly going to be an earth tremor when you two meet at last.

Willy

Mike,

Here is wishing the best for you and Jessica.  As I have seen many things written as far as expectations and reality let me pass on one piece of advice I know you've heard before but I think is applicable here.  The saying goes, "Blessed are the flexible for they shall bend and not break."

What ever happens don't get caught up in your expectations so much that you miss what is really happening.  If you do not get to do everything you want to do or say or experience remember this is your first trip, not your last.  You and Jessica will have more occasions in the future to take in the beauty and history of China.  Bend with the flow and your experienced will be much greater than you anticipated.

God's Blessings,

Shaun.
