Brian's trip to China...
Brian Mc:
Greetings Brothers,
Thanks for all the advice and kind words, really appreciated.
MM relax huh? Are you kidding me? I am so excited I cant sleep and neither can she. I couldnt relax if I tried, but I will try.
Daghoi, thanks for the tip on the no tipping! nice to know, seems I read that on the forums too but nice to have it brought back into mind.
Willy great advice as usual, I will now have a guide as to how much to haggle off the price of whichever one we decide on. My lady is not computer literate and types slowly so hopefully we can find one that she likes.
All you other brothers thanks for the words. I think I will do as Scottish said he was gonna do and reread all the pertinent threads here about what to do advice threads etc and also everyone elses trip thread. Get as much info jammed into my head as I can before I go and hopefully we can make this work the first time.
We are both as sure as we can be that we have found the person we are looking for and only need the face to face to confirm and grow the bond stronger.
Jimb can you advise on a hotel in Beijing? Something decent prefer with internet and western toilets and of course coffee. Cant go without coffee. My lady is going to bring the translator with her so I assume we will need two rooms. Something comfortable and such but not really expensive.perhaps in $50 to $75 per night range? She will book the hotel but has asked which one I would like so any advice is good. We will be in Beijing for a few days to take in the sights. I will of course take pictures but I doubt they will be as good as Irish's pics. He sure has skill with a camera.
Thanks for all teh advice and kind words and tehy are appreciated.
Regards
BrianArcticstorm,
No worries brother I understood what you were saying an how you meant it. Keep the head on straight and use it heheh.
As for David5o's posts yes I agree he gives a lot of good advice. He and I are opposites of course he is level headed I am a true romantic but at least we understand each other right David?
Regards,
Brian

Brian, what I also have done is, write the tips down in a small notebook, just to keep myself in the 'know' so to speak...
God another one with an affair with coffee, I wonder IS SHE THAT NICE LOOKING....lol
Just put your trust in your lady to book the room, she probably knows the best places, reputation wise...lol And I'm assuming she knows your financial position, that is what I done with Keren...

Hiya Rob,
Yes I admit I have a thing for coffee, but as for my lady is she that nice looking? Well let me say this. To my eyes she is the most beautiful woman in the world and I would give up my coffee and tea and anything else that I have to be with her forever.
As for her knowing teh best places I thin she is unsure of where in Beijing to book. In Handan she has no doubt but Beijing may be new to her also. So I think if any of the brothers had a good experience with a specific hotel in Beijing then I will recommend that one at least for the first night. She said she would book the hotel for one night and see if we like it and move next day if we dont.
As for my finances, no we have not discussed this yet. She knows I work and my salary is enough to cover my bills with a little left over but that is as far as we have discussed it so far. I thougth about it several times, going into more detail but I figure lets do face to face and know we are the one for the other before going into such topics.
We have discussed many things like religion or lack thereof, where we would live etc etc but as for talking money no that has not happened yet. She is a most practical lady so I do not think we will have issues with spending. At least I hope not. I am just waiting for the proceeds of my seperation to come through which should be less than 2 weeks so if we overspend a little this trip I do not mind much. Obviously if things start to get out of control then we will have the money talk hehe.
As previously said we have talked about many things and are so comfortable with each other that we sometimes finish each others thoughts before we say them. We both feel strongly that we are the one for the other so I do not envision any issues, I know her voice her true appearance and her manner, well at least what you can from webcam visits. So all in all we both are feeling very confident. Plus we will have the agency translator for the first couple days to help smooth the initial shyness and get us closer.
Anyway as you have probably noticed I can talk about her all day long hehe.
Regards, Brian

Brian best wishes. As far as the hotel goes, Nic gave us a name a while back in one of his notes. I contacted this person and he was able to pick out a hotel within three blocks of where I needed to be. I have enclosed his address. He is also very fast with the information.
