Congrats ZZ and your laopo

Exactly.

You are in Plano???? Check out http://www.collegesportingnews.com and GO BEARKATS!!! But if my name is on the car title then I am ultimately responsible for anyone operating it.

Wuhan required that the "Affidavit of Marriageability" be translated and it costed less to get it done at their marriage bureau than at the USA consulate.

And none of that is against the rules in China? It seems to be standard operating procedure - hype (on the the part of the VPN providers) and paranoia (on the part of the censors). I will not debate with you over whether or not you want a VPN - it's your choice. No testiness please, just wondered if it is against the law... like a reason the govt. can use against you. I prefer living within the law. I'm not against VPN's or anything but the only place I have used them was in the USA.

Well re-taking the driver's exam is a penalty. In my ol' USA town all cam tickets carried the same points as in-person ones. I don't mind the traffic cams at all or the other surveillance cams all around us. It is a natural progression.

Latest news is that the "move-in" date has moved to "sometime in 2014" I had quite a hard time explaining to my girl the "opportunity cost" of paying full price for something but not getting it for 2 years.

Very promising! Can I apply for the PR card now? What are the new requirements? What does the acronym "PSB" stand for?

I remember my auto got booted once and I was shocked. When I went to the cop shop they said I owed 28 tickets. I had no idea. Turns out they were all tickets "earned" from those cameras and the address I had on file was an old one, so I never got the notices.

???? I have a degree in political science and everything is political including this horrible crime. If you mean party politics, there is none in this discussion.

How many would have died if the criminal had a bat instead of a gun? Just saying. Put a huge tax on bullets and track the buyers.

All over in Wuhan... and of course in the largest police state in the world: the USA

The best I've seen, and am currently using at home is: http://www.witopia.net/welcome.php The lower priced solution is $39.99 per year. A good price indeed. This gives you a US VPN that will enable you to access YouTube, Hulu, and other US sites that are inaccessible from outside the US. You can make the purchase online, and are provided with an immediate connection. The set up is pretty easy with their online directions. Are there better deals than 200RMB a year that are just as reliable?

someone can instruct me how to access youtube legally and easily from Wuhan? BTW, I type in the English name of the song to find it on Youku

http://www.youku.com/ http://v.youku.com/v...U0OTA0ODQ0.html (unless someone can instruct me how to access youtube legally and easily from Wuhan)

That deletion is really a joke, there were no politics in it at all. It was a post of the link today of the dangers of guns by the killing of a little kid by his father (by accident). The politics is in the deletion of the post. "Nothing wrong with everybody having a lot of guns and shooting, dangnabbit!"

GOT IT! 20th Floor, 149.5 m2, looking over the Yangtze River, or Chang Jiang, the longest river in Asia, and the third longest in the world. A multitude of my girl's lifelong pals live in the 1,600 condo complex so it is comfy. We are extremely happy.

Congrats!!!!!! I agree that resistance is futile, I call my girl BOSS and "yes dear" is uttered by me constantly. EVERYTHING IS DIRTY is something that made me think my girl was a neat freak but now I have learned that Americans are dirty people.

Got the translation that is required of the document for the marriage bureau here in Wuhan. 100RMB to the place the bureau said.

So fly into Beijing, meet your lady and relatives for three days, take her to Hong Kong (?) or someplace for a vacation, then split and return to your own countries.

Everything was simple. At the Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station we got on the #2 subway line (5RMB one way) and exited 9 stops and 15 minutes later at the West Nanjing Road stop. We walked 10 minutes to the Consulate (8th floor), My girl and I were ushered through the detectors by Chinese-speaking USA officers (I kept saying to them I didn't speak Chinese but they kept talking it and no English) into a room with two people ahead of us. Five minutes later they asked for my appointment letter, the ability to marry affidavit to be notarised, my passport, and the new rule Chinese ID of my future wife. I had printed the affidavit off their website but it has been revised now with the lines about the wive's name and number. So I quickly filled that out. They congratulated me on my marriage (which has not occurred yet) and told me to take a seat. Three minutes later they called me to the pay window where they congratulated me again and took the money, and told us to take a seat. Four minutes later they called me to the notary window where I raised my hand and swore it was true and that was it. Stamp, stamp and thank you ma'am.
