  1. Ethnic Minorities...

    in The Middle Kingdom - 中国

    Posted

    I had a discussion with a older family member on my wife's side

    he mentioned that the usa or any other country should not expect the human rights issues in china to get better anytime soon as china is a such young country and these things take time when I mentioned the 5000 year history he replied that was the old china the new china is only 60 years old

    ling has done pretty well (knock on wood) she did miss a driveway and high sided her little car on the curb of course nobody told me about until her friends husband called to tell me to check for damage when I asked ling if there was something she wanted to tell me she said I think someone already tell

    when I try to correct her she says why only drive bad you in car :surrender:

  9. Isolation

    Posted · Edited by michaln (see edit history)

    when ling came here we were introduced to several Chinese people through

    friends and we also met many from a Chinese church

    ling once told me she had many Chinese friends and just wanted to meet some American people as for church she only wants to show up after the services for the free chinese food we know many Chinese American couples neither ling nor I can think of anybody who isolates their spouse it seems to be just the opposite with our friends and acquaintances

  13. China plastic bag ban

    NO PLASTIC BAGS???????? What ever would tai tai do without her stash of plastic bags? This doesn't sound good.

     

    we have quite the collection too

    question is what does she do with them ?

     

    why do we need to save 40-50 bags

    I have to sneak them out to the recycle

    apparently the paper bags have no value

  21. Hu Kou (household registration) problem

    in General Visa Discussion & First Steps

    Posted

    Over the past couple years there have been plenty of challenges to Miss Wang and I tying the knot.

     

    As I got tired of waiting for the US gov't to approve her visa I returned to China so we could have a life together.

     

    Now she is telling me she can NOT get married in China. This is due to her "hu kou ‘ô¿Ú" being of a certain designation. As she was born in Xijiang, but lives in Guangzhou and has a certain kind of Guangzhou hu kou, she can not get married. That hu kou does not allow people to get married unless they own property.

     

    Had anyone else heard of such a situation, or dealt with something like this?

     

    Thanks

    Michael

     

     

    I think someone is pulling someones leg?

    I would just ask her out right if she want to get married or not?

    Like David Z Said.

     

    Something smells fishy

     

     

    I agree with this
