Rhonald:
Finally we see the face behind the chocolate mask.
Great first post and yes - AWESOME pictures. She is far sweeter than any chocolate I know. She for sure has melted away your exterior :icon_cheesygrin:
Willy The Londoner:
She is great Neil, But how have you found time to tell us all about it. How have you managed to keep your hands off of her for so long. With respect that is a pretty long note for a man in your position.
Fill us in later and make the best of your time now.
You two will do well.
Willy

Neil, she is absolutely beautiful, good on you brother, for now just enjoy your time with her and later update us.
Neil:
We got back to the apartment fairly late. Around 9pm, after riding around on the bike. We all came up to the hotel room and talked for a bit, made some plans, I tried showing some facebook pics but facebook is inaccessable. I'll ask a friend to update my status and a couple pictures.
We talked some more and they decided I needed to get some rest so got ready to leave. We kissed each other on the cheek and I paid the translator fee. 800 RMB. Like I'd even consider not paying. Xin got a call so took it out in the hall while Mini and I chatted. Mini asked some good questions. Why a chinese lady? My answer has always been that when I decided to start looking for someone serious, one of my criteria was that she had to be a good girl, a nice girl, someone with morals and values. In order to find someone like that in Canada (yes, I think it would be possible) she would be religious and I'm just not that religious, and I didn't want to join a church just to find a wife. Something about that seems wrong to me.
Speaking of phones. Xin has a cell phone of course. I never had her number though and she doesn't speak enough english for it to make any sense until now. She used it maybe a few times while we were together. While eating she got a call - it was on vibrate so I didn't hear it ring. She opened her purse, opened the phone, looked to see who it was, then turned it off. That blew me away from the stories I've heard. It never once got in our way. Yet.
Early in our letters I had started calling her Sweet Xin. She really has a beautiful heart. She has a kindness I just adore. While riding around, we stopped at a market and bought some fruit for the hotel. 2 apples and 2 of these red skinned fruit you peel and the insides are white with black seeds. No idea what it's called but it tastes like a cross between a melon and an apple. Nice. When we got back on the bike, she takes an apple and hands it to our driver. It just made me feel so good and I gave her a squeeze to let her know it didn't go unnoticed. She just smiled. She really is sweet.
Before leaving, we gave each other a kiss on the cheek. They want me to have a good rest for tomorrow so I'm going back to bed.
