Be confident and positive, it'll work out.

She wore something like the one on the left, can't remember if it had the tie thing though. I think it's fine to just walk the middle ground, don't under dress or over dress for it... and I also think it might have a little bearing on the result too.

Looking forward to hearing the details. Congrats!

It'll get better. Congrats!!!

My wife started out with ESL classes at the local tech college. That went well then she started taking GED classes. After a lot of searching she found a job as a laundry assistant at a hotel. She quit to go back to school to become a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant. It's easy to find a job, but like the other poster said it's hard work. Her first priority is to finish up the GED. It's amazing what she can accomplish when she's on the right track. I think it is important to get that first job in America on the resume. It will open a lot of doors to better things. My advice is just keep looking. Cindy's English really came along quickly. The ESL classes were a huge help. Plus just being here, talking with friends and relatives, watching TV, yelling at me, etc!

Glad to hear things are going well! I have to get my wife to read this, our garage is a mess! I notice you live in WI, there is a Chinese couples group that meets every once in awhile in Milwaukee. It's a great way to meet others going through the same thing. Let me know if you want the contact info. Take care!

I cheated and skipped to the end.. but congrats anyways

Good luck guys! Hang on to all those receipts and take lots of pics. Sometimes the more you bring the less they look at haha.

SHE'S THE DEVIL!!!

QingMing (clear & bright) is the 5th seasonal marker for farming activities when the temperatures rise and sowing should begin. As a festival, it ties back to the Hanshi (Cold Food festival, a day before QingMing); During the Qing the two days were merged. Although Confucius is often associated with promoting ancestor respect (worship), that practice existed prior to him. Confucius spoke against excessive expenditures to worship the dead. Despite this often association, the festival itself does not appear to be tied to Confucius, but rather with the spirit world (Ú¤½ç) where their ancestors went.

Congrats!!! The worst part is finally over! Hope your flight home will be better than mine was. I was sick AND hung over. Throwing up in a airplane bathroom is not something I'd recommend!

Yup. Mostly webcam with mic. Used Yahoo and MSN at the time. Also a lot of texting when I was at work or whatnot. I would also recommend a laptop so you can watch your big screen TV while she babbles on Don't tell her I said that tho!
