Aloha from Hawaii, We want to hear more from you in the future. We are in a La Ninia weather cycle. This means less Pacific hurricanes and more Atlantic hurricanes. That should create some excitement there. You could also visit Hawaii for some diving here. Myles aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii, Keep the faith SBS. It took me a year and a half to get my wife to Honolulu. This means she came to the USA on a CR-1 visa. On this type of visa a change of status is required three months before the end of two years in the USA. If we had delayed another six months she would get an IR-1 visa. That would give her permanent resident status. Myles aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii, Thanks for hosting this site. It helped to keep me sane during the long process. The information was of some help but the fellowship was more important. You, Owen, Mick and Eric made it an interesting site to visit. Myles aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii, When a new Chinese passport is issued a new number is issued. However, there is a note that makes a reference to the old number. Myles aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii, Stay calm, be patient and persistent. My wife and have been apart for 15 months. She will be with me in Honolulu on Wednesday. I know the separation is not easy but you will get through it. Myles aka Annakuen.GG

Aloha Eric & Yuhui You have been missed here. My good news is my wife will arrive in Honolulu on June 4. Myles aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii, Soft seat ( first class ) is the way to travel long distances. The cost is much less than air fare and is a good way to see the country side. To pass the time you can play the Chinese version of chess or card games with other travelers. Post your travel plans. People who are familiar with the areas can help you. Myles aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii As a former pastor ( as stated on the Bob Jones post ) you have a good perspective to write a second book. A book on adapting to another language and culture. A husband who adapts to life in China and a wife who adapts to life in the USA. That book will become a classic and be on the top ten best seller list. Myles aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii, I am looking forward to the movie. I wonder who will play Owen? You will need an actor who looks good with a full beard. Maybe you could get Ma Tin Sheen. Myles aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii, The restrictions on money orders are for the purpose of tracking the transfer of money to possible terrorists. The way to make a legal transfer of larger sums of money is by electronic bank transfers. This is how legal business is done. Just have your bank send the money to the Chinese bank account. Myles aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii, When I got married I did not have the services of an interpreter. I was asked a question that I did not understand. I said. what does that mean? My response was taken as a yes and I was married at that moment. Myles aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii, This is a political correct liberal policy. I has the appearance of doing something but does nothing. We are hit on to avoid the racial profile issue. It creates the appearance of activity when less work is completed. Myles aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii. How about a Japanese specialty item. Fugu or ballon fish. I think it's only known predator is the Japanese. For a very good reason. It is toxic and quick acting. Special training is required to clean and prepare this fish. The first and only sign of fugu poisoning is the victim just drops dead. This should be right up Eric's alley. He can do the collection of the slow swimming fish. Myles aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii, My condolence to both of you. It would have been the better if you were there also. Not to provide comfort for her but to demonstrate to the extended family that you care for the family. Gatherings such as this is a way to renew family ties. Myles aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii, Sounds like what I went through at the Beijing International Traveler's Health Center. That is where I went for my health certificate. Myles Aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii, Contrary to popular belief, a man is not judged by how he is dressed. A man is judged by the woman he is with. And you look like a cradle robber. A happy cradle robber. I did the same thing. I think my wife will be as happy as Li looks when she gets here in two weeks. Myles aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii, When I made a telephone call to Rep. Abercrombie's office I learned that most offices are expected to respond in 30 days. So a question sent to Guangzhou from Washington DC is expected to be answered in 30 days. It may not be answered. This probably explains the long response times to any questions if they are answered at all. Myles aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii, It is good to hear that your ticker is not in danger at this time. We hope to keep you on as one of our favorite writers for a long time. Myles aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii, Congrats from Hawaii to the happy couple. I also know about the long waiting. We were married in October 2001. She will be in her new home on June 4. It has been a long wait. Myles Aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii, We are all waiting for a speedy recovery Mick. Myles aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii, PJ, Hanzhou is a nice city that is not too big. There is a lot of opportunity there. A new city is being built across the river. Lots of light industrial and high tech start up companies. This may be an opportunity to to more than just teach english. The province wants to build an export base to compete against Shanghai. Your computer skills might so well there. If you are not comfortable with Mandarin you should try Shenzhen. The city is bilingual and bi currency. Mandarin and Cantonese are spoken there. RMB and Hong Kong Dollars are both used there. You can also get television programs in english from Hong Kong. The climate is similar to Florida. That includes humid summers. You can make more money in Shenzhen but the cost of living is higher there. Myles aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii, Congrats and at this rate PJ will have to change Candle from the current theme to a match making service. We will have to begin with PJ of course. Myles aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii, Be persistent and calm. There are many of us who have waited for more than a year, I have talked to people who have waited five to ten years. Good things will come to you if you are willing to work and wait for them. Myles aka Annakuen'GG

Happy birthday Dave, Things appear to be speeding up and you should get the visa soon. Myles aka Annakuen'GG

Aloha from Hawaii, Correct me if I am wrong but there are about 43 Han Chinese names. This means there are a few names shared by a lot of people. Myles aka Annakuen'GG
