Some Pictures from China - Getting two for One or a twofer

[metooap]

These pictures let some know that in spite of the odds there is indeed success to be found.

The pictures are of my fiancee’ – absolutely beautiful – as we all think of our women, and my adopted daughter (former translator), and brother (former officer in the Chinese military). Both are part of my company in China.

So yes there are challenges but the possibilities are tremendous – for those who dare to be different and not accept the norm.

These photos were taken in July 2009. I have been to China twice. I am headed back in September and have an Office in Handan.

David, I agree! Part luck, part paying attention to this forum, and part smile - and in that order!

I have to agree she is a beautiful woman, you dog. :icon_biggrin:

Is it that you are so use to wearing blues? or is it a coincidence?

[Peter]

Great photos metooap.. Where in China did you take the photos ?

[David5o]

Hi, You know about the Air Force blue -hun.  No this was strictly a coincidence.

But why did you call me a dog man? :icon_biggrin: You have a beautiful lady yourself - I didn't call you a dog. I started too though!!

[Vince G]

Yes Airman or is it Ex-Airman, I know the uniform. I signed up for the AF in the early 80's. My then Gf talked me out of it? It would have been a dream to be a pilot but lets face it? Electronic Tech. it was going to be. Plus my buddy, who introduced me to my now Ex joined. He was stationed in Italy, I believe he lives in New Mexico now?

So when I saw the blue I wondered? :icon_cheesygrin:

[metooap]

Vince you are right on target. You would have loved it.

You would have made one hell of a pilot - of course I would have taken a pass on sitting in the other seat though.:icon_biggrin:

I was a missile launch officer - about 60 feet below the ground.

Had a great time ~ learned a lot!

Metooap , very nice photo's . You do deserve a big thumb's up , for finding such wonderful looking Lady .
She is as pretty as the Rose , which she received form you I imagine ? Also a Romantic Dude as myself . Haha
Thanks for sharing . Oh , yes I like to know too , where in China were these taken ?

[metooap]

Oh, David50,

You are right - it is a threefer!

I guess it is all in how you look at things.

As you probably already know - like some here - I have a permanent smile on my face!:icon_biggrin:

I want some more of that pudding too!

Nice to see that a man with brown skin can date and marry a Chinese lady.  I am an African American (Black).  Good luck.

Froseman,

Thanks for the comments. But I have made other post on your comment – and my point is simple. It is not about color. When I look at my fiancée all I see is beauty inside and out with a dash of craziness. When she looks at me, all she sees is a guy, with a smile that shows her every day that she is a very special person.

Just as Arnold said – a romantic kind of guy.

With this approach I just keep smiling; because it is not about color – It is about – and go ahead and call me corny –  it is about love.

Peter, Arnold,

The first 4 photos were taken in Rushan a city on the ocean; this is where my fiancee’s parents live 7-8 months out of the year.

The one with the rose and ring was taken in Handan on her birthday this month.

The next 5 were taken in Jiuzhaigou, ?HuangLong) www.huanglong.com, and Qingdao.

The last 6 starting with the handshake were taken in Beijing.

Thanks metooap , all this in one Trip ?
Your so right , LOVE does not see color , it see's the Heart of the other Person .
