Yo...or who it may concern..haha...please disregard my above post. It seems after I had wiggled my nose a few times, I got it to work.

Yo...or to who it may concern...haha...the new reset password ya all have sent me is not working...please help...thanks...chef4u

Yeah, I have to agree with Jesse. Don't get me wrong, there are definite hot looking Chinese women on those dating sites. However, when I am walking the streets of Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou or Shenzen,OMG, multiply the hotties on the dating sites by more than 50% or haigher , you need to grab hold of a lampost before ya go into a cardiac arrest. Dudes, these women are soooooooo much more beautiful than the dating site chicks. As Jesse pointed out, these women DO NOT need to be puttin there fatches on any old dating site....Just don't need too. They have two or three high-end automobiles, big ass houses, important executive jobs, more money in the bank than they even know they have, wardrobes that come from all the big top world designers, (probably they know them on a first name basis), highly educated and the list goes on. The point is, Chinese women, back twenty years ago, did NOT have this freedom to even think about such success. They were raised to become a house wife and have a child, while the husband would go to work and chase other women after work. A Chinese women, even today, who is 40ish and not married, will probably never be married, because CHINESE men don't want a wife that old. And here is the other point to this story...are ya ready?....Chinese CULTURE still believes the man is the bread winner of their famiy. They run away from this class of women. I have asked my uni. female students, who will be about 23 to 24, whenthey graduate, what will they do after their graduation...THEIR ANSWER..find a good husband and raise a family. Just thought I try to steer this conversation back to OP...me...haha...Please remeber the article is not talking about : What do AMERICAN women want or Dating site comparisons It is talking about: The Power Shift - What do CHINESE Women Want

Hey all, thanks for the welcome backs. Anyway, I enjoy being stared by all the Chinese. Why? Because, when they are staring, I put a huge smile on my face and frantically wave at them. Of course, I have the last laugh as they soon find themselves crashing their bodies into a nearby lamp post or another person. Ah, the failure of the Chinese to let go of long stares at a lil old laowei. But seriously, I always have fun smiling and waving back at them;to see their boyish/girlish laughing, giggling responses are...simply priceless.

Hello everybody, it certainly has been along, long time since I have posted in this group. So many new faces and so many of my old good friends are still kicking in this group. Anyway, the following link makes for some really interesting read: http://www.echinacities.com/expat-corner/the-power-shift-what-do-chinese-women-want.html Your thoughts? :-)

Amaro, I would higly recommmend checking out the follwing: http://middlekingdomlife.com/guide/ this will give you a general idea of living and teaching in China. One major advice I can give you, be very careful of some of those job posting sites. Some of them only want a warm,native English speaker, who has a heart beat. In addition, DO NOT come to China to work as a teacher on a tourist visa, with the promise, we will help you get your Z Visa and residence permit. Since living and teaching in China, I personaly know quite of few Americans and Aussies, who got burned under similiar circumstances and needed to return home to get it all worked out. Finally, you should be patient and complete that degree. At best, you need to have a TESOL or TEFL certificate to teach in China. To be told othrwise, your looking at a sweat job, that pays very low, works ya to death and your living quarters would be such, a pig would refuse to live in..lol Anyway, wish you all the best. :-)

does your wife have an ICBC cash card? This card is similiar to a USA bank debit card only;not supported by Visa Visa debit bank card. It would only be a debit card for withdrawl of any monies she may have in a savings or cash account; China does not have or supports checking accounts. I think she just needs to locate an US ATM machine that supports UnionPay, not PLUS, NYCE or INTERLINK. If she still has an ICBC Debit card only, it's worth a shot trying. Good luck! :-)

Can I order my special toy now? You know I'm back to eating cheetos again Saw that in the other thread, Cheffie. Sorry to hear about it. Maybe you could invent a cheetos dispenser; like Pez? You'd make a million. Thanks Don on both! OK...so far I have eight orders...just need another 999,992 to gross that million..

No worries with Air China...flown them, (when going into Beijing) and China Southern (when flying into Guanzhou). I read somewhere Air China is the safest airline of all China's airlines. Maybe it was Air China's flight magazine...

Can I order my special toy now? You know I'm back to eating cheetos again They'll package it specially just for you - look for a special Cracker Jack box labeled Cracker JackOff in Chinese characters. Unfortunately, my luck I'll miss read the Chinese and get the wrong kind of crack toy...
