Daily life of a married man
maxx:
observations.
We went to the Asian market the other day.Like I said before.And I wanted to comment on this.Because it is a little interesting to me.Besides being able to buy food from all over Asia.You get to see other cross culture couples and I get to watch how they interact with each other and the shoppers around them.
The white guy and the Chinese girl was the only couple to talk to me.He was looking for roasted nuts or something so he asked if I had seen them.His wife said hi and that was it.They had a kid with them that was probably 15 he looked like he was madd at the world and kept giving the white guy a evil look.I never did see them talking.
The couple that interested me the most was the dark complected Phillipino women and the older white guy.The reason they interested me the most was she was probably 25 at the most.And he had to be in his sixties.They had 2 kids with them.A little girl that was probably 3 years old with dark curly hair.And real light complected.And a baby boy probably 3 months old.Also light complected.
So I wonderd about them.Is that her husband?Or her husbands father?.If that is her husband one part says what are you thinking the other part says go man go.That old and still making babies you have to admire that.You also wonder how he was able to obtain a visa for her.Since in the U.S. they really watch for that kind of thing..I heard that man talking to the little girl.But I didn't hear him talking to the women.So i'm thinking that he was taking his sons wife out to buy the food.
Other observations in China.I have spent a lot of time in the south of China in Guangdong province.You see plenty of other foriegn men eather doing buissnes with a company or seeing a women.As we walk past each other or if we see each other in a restraunt we will nod to each other or wave to each other as we pass.Sometimes we will even stop and talk a little bit exchange information.So no big deal.
Where it gets a little weird is in centrel China along the Yangse river.We hang out in a town Called JiuJiang.My wifes family is there.I have ben in China enough times that I'm allowed to wonder around on my own unsupervised for hours on end.So I will walk along the river or go to the stores to have a look.Nobody ever bothers me because They don't speak very much English that far inland.And my Chinese is real bad.
Last time we were there I was out by myself walking around.I had stopped at the noodle shop around the corner from my inlaws house.I was playing around with my sisterinlaws friend.Just teasing her in English.To see if I could get her to smile.
While I was standing there a foreigner walked by.He didn't say a word make any kind of gesture.I know he seen me.Because he looked right at me.I know he wasn't paying attention to the women he was with because she was talking to the translater.He was just looking around.
All the time I have spent in JiuJiang I have never seen a foriegn person.This city is of the beaten track you have to be going there to get there.So I think the man is just totaly out of his element and thinking to himself what the hell am I doing here.
The translater had to point me out to the man.And the man just gave me a vague wave and off he went down the road.The lady and the translater.Are just left standing there beside me.While the man keeps walking.The lady and the translater both had this strange look on there face.
That has to be one of the strangest encounters I have had with a foriegn man in China.In Gz when I was there for the interview.We had tables pushed together for all the Americans.We spent all morning talking to each other.At the post office in Gz.One American walked across the room to talk to me I was leaning against the back side of a piller.I'm sure I wasn't easy to see.

i had to laugh so hard since Martin's wife finally let him go to the bakery by himself, Maxx can walk along the river by himself, but my wife wont let me go outside and smoke alone. There's got to be something to this....Do we really appear to need sitters? LMAO
maxx:
Ed its a chinese thing my motherinlaw watches me like I'm 3 years old.Maybe it is because I mess with the neigbors all the time.
No Seriosly I think it is they just want us to be safe.
Arnold:
Thanks for this Thread ... Maxx.
Thought this would be perfect to post here . Hence I'm writing my Book myself now , I told Qing about this and received a letter today answering that one . They are alway's worried about you , day and night it seems . If that is not TOTAL love , I don't know what is ?
Nong hao,Lao Gong. Thanks for your letter.I am really touched by you that you start to write our book by yourself.You know i don't want to see you overwork for it as after a long time work you need to have good rest and take care of yourself.I know we could share our happiness with others,but it is not important the book for sale.The most important thing is the Shanghai Flower and Bee want to be together and share the happiness of the wonderful life as long as possible.So we will continue to write our LOVE story together with our life ***I LOVE YOU AND FOREVER*** It just make me feel you are so lovely,my little Xian Sheng(in my eyes that you are). Every member of our family all Love you so much and want to see you again in SH.
***YOUR NICE LAO PO***

Interracial marriage.
I thought I would cover this today.I know a few of you here are thinking about this.What will people say? How will theese people treat my wife or girlfriend? Am I going to have to beat up halfe the people I know?
As most of you know Me and my wife and son live in New Mexico U.S.A.( You have to put U.S.A. after it because alot of people back east think we belong to Mexico That is a whole different story).
In New Mexico interracial coupels are no big deal.You see them all over the place.Whites married to Asian Nativa Americans,African Americans,Latinos,Indians.Hell we even let the British come here and marry are women.And the other races do marry out of there own race.I know a guy that is from American samoa.He is married to a Navajo Women.They have 3 kids together.So as far as this goes it is ok in New Mexico.
There has ben only a couple of times that I have ran across this problem in the states.I used to run a conscesion stand at concerts and Mixed fighting events.One night a kid about 19 seen my wife working at the conscesion stand.And told his buddy.Hey look they have a gook working there.When I stood up the kid and his friend ran off.The second time was a waiter at a Chinese restraunt.He told my wife that I brought her to America to sell her.The next time we went to that restraunt the waiter had ben fired.I don't know why.I didn't say anything to the owners.
The only ones that seam to have a problem with this is some Chinese people in China.And that is only after I won't buy what they are trying to sell me.Then the name calling startes.My wife has ben called alot of different things.By other Chinese people she just ussualy blows them off.And its over with.The only reason I know about it is because she will tell me latter.Long after the oppertunity to beat the hell out of the offending person is gone.
My Friends family the Neighbors.All like my wife.There has ben only one time where anybody ever said a racial slurr to my wife.My wife has ben from California all the wat to Arkansas and back.There has never ben a problem
