We are hillybillies in JiangXi province . What's Internet? We don't have fish net cuz we have no sea. We do have spiders who are weaving nets near our roof. We call spiders network engineers and we call honey bees air hostess.

Scars on her head, it's not only a face thingie. It's deep wound in the heart, unhappy memories which hurt badly, and nobody would like to bring up this topic until she is very close to you.

1. For Steve's case, I believe Ying was scared at her visa interview which VO assumed she was lying. When GUZ called her asking about her ex she was scared as she should not have been. For too much information they have submitted, they may have conflicted information which GUZ used their own logic to think it's a scam. GUZ likes to screw cases when the Income Tax Return of the petitioner doesn't look so good. 2. I don't think GUZ or consulate of any western country likes a marriage broker. A marriage broker helps other women to hook up guys, rich or poor. If your financial situation is not so good and she is money hungry, it's not a good idea to marry a marriage broker. 3. Some city girls are fun, entertaining but some can be high maintenance. I believe a lawyer, a politician would prefer a city girl. If you have a more humble, simple life to offer, it's better to pick up a country woman. Still, women are women. It varies from person to person. From casual talking you can get the information you want: whether she is emotionally stable, whether her expecattaion value exceeds your current situation.

If it's a professional company, he has QA (Quality Assurance) for raw materials in the laboratory. QA should not have let fake paint in the factory. If QA staff had to give face to the boss's friend, it's not a professional company. Then suicide is inevitable in one way or another, sooner or later.

Bring it up later? Well, you can do this to reason her. As I remember, when she was denied K1, you could have paid Peter (king) for trying to hold the case in Guangzhou, but your SO didn't want to spend the money. It's not likely but there was still possibility to hold the case in Guangzhou then, which would have saved you long long time of waiting.Sometimes, being too frugal can block her own future and it recycles. As the head of the family, you have to decide like Jim.

My friend is dating someone who is 6'4" in height. Really feel intimidating if I have to date someone who is 6'5"

Seems she is doing pretty well with her business in China.

I understand both your ex and current, except that I'd think your fish tanks are cheap too

I guess your father-in-law is a millionaire in China. And right now you make good income or she is an attorney.

Did you ever think of going back to your suppliers to find out the source of problems? Maybe talk with your parents-in-laws to find out how Ya Tou was raised. Through casual talking, try to be interested in the things of her childhood, you may get the information you want and find the cure. As far as I know, it's not easy to be a government official, tangible and in-tangible pressure, many officials blew off easily and might thrust their frustration at their children after arriving home from work. The wife of a government official might feel insecure and she tried her best to control, which will also have negative impact on their children. Since my childhood, we got the orientation: everything (family, kins, love, children, material stuff, everything) should be sacrificed for The Revolution Cause, to serve the country. Many children got ignored. When this ignored child grew up and got married, the first time being so close to a person she can rely on, she may demand full attention, tons of love from the spouse, plus unrealistic expectations.

Lure her to talk about her childhood (the unpleasant memories which she tried to forget and was not willing to tell anyone else), how she was raised. Maybe you'll find the source of the problems and cure.

Not everybody is that special. Your wife was beaten up by her father in her childhood which has negative impact later in her life and it takes great love to heal. The majority of Chinese women are just average. I used to work with American women, British women, Filipina and their way of thinking and behavior is not much different from ours. We are all talkative, talking about kids, women's stuff. We talked about things which we don't want guys to hear. Women are women, universal.

If I leave because of an argument, I will pack a few clothes and some personal effects. Nobody can stop me. I will have a vacation, maybe in a friend's house. I will show up at the door in a few days ³Õ³Õ´ô´ô, È¥ÁËÓÖÀ´!

I think Mafan's case is very special. His logic suits his specific case. If you have married a single mother, she has been tamed by life before you do. If you are married to a daughter of farmers or average workers, she may not have been spoiled. I'm always amazed by Mafan's way of analysing a situation and the logic he has found. To be honest, I always think Mafan has extremely high IQ and is very knowledgeable that it would be surprising if his wife doesn't admire this. Mafan, in daily life, do you act like Newton or Albert Einstein大智若愚, 不吃人间烟火 and that's the reason Ya Tou is mad at you?

If she was not well travelled before she arrived in America, she may lack imagination of what cultural shock is. If she is in mid 40s or older, the cultural shock is really unbearable. Before they arrived in America, the excitement of longing for a new life made them overlook the challenges ahead.

English has been my working language for the past 12 years and I type in English much faster than I type in Chinese, still I want Chinese cooking utensils in the kitchen which will give me a feeling of home, though I will cook American food for most of the time.

Damn, you know how to get my attention!

Right, I can see those swollen lips like a pig's (ÏóÖí°Ë½ä) in the beauty parlor. I will not do it, unless you guys put a gun against my head .

Boy, it accumulates resent, hatred. µ£ÐÄÇïºóËãÕÊ!

I'm average looking but I know how to pick up guys who think I'm beautiful

Hey, buddy, I'll share his dream with you guys: "Hey- I was dreaming last night that we worked together and that you were wearing a very very short skirt and you kept dropping things so you could bend over and pick them up in front of me. You were smiling while you were doing it" The above is what he expects from me .

Oh, you understand my Chinglish .

Wow, cool You remind me one of the movies by Jet Li.

Most of the private companies in south China don't have sleeping time. When I failed to reach a government office for their signature before 11:30am, I usually saw a movie or had a shampoo waiting for them to wake up at 2:30am.
