tonymasiello Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Congrats Mark and ShuPing!!! I feel your pain with the one-way tickets. I used NWA to go to GZ and bring Quan home, and I paid more for her OW than for my RT. While it seems very unfair, this is how the airlines make money and how they are able to offer discount RT economy tickets in the first place. They mostly sell the OW tickets to business travellers who pay a premium for the convenience of complex itineraries and multi leg travels. My advice is suck it up this once with United (I'm not a huge fan also, but they are much better than NWA), try to get seated together and accompany ShuPing back with the knowledge that this will be the last OW ticket you need to buy.

warpedbored Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Great news Mark! Now get her home so that future democrat child of yours can be born in america and run for president on an anti war, pro choice, pro social programs platform. After all it is a time honored american tradition to rebel against your parents. Link to comment

GZ will just look at you as a cheap guy. "Fred Mertz goes to GZ". Link to comment
oregonknl Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 RMark: Lucy's is on the same road as the Consulate... Just walk past the White Swan, and keep walking... on your right hand side... never tried the food there, and doubtful if the infamous "001 Girls" did either... Link to comment

Now get her home so that future democrat child of yours can be born in america and run for president on an anti war, pro choice, pro social programs platform. After all it is a time honored american tradition to rebel against your parents.Curse on you Carl! May the wind of a thousand camels blow directly in your face! Fred Mertz is an apt discription, pfkops. No matter how cheap I try to do things, it always seems to cost me more. We are going to suck it up and fly together. $800 for some togetherness and assurance that she won't get waylaid or have further problems is worth it. Otherwise we're paying $600 for uncertainty and stress and lord knows what all. Not to mention her 5 suitcases. We plan to buy a larger suitcase to cram the contents of 2 broken ones in bringing us to 4 suitcases and 3 carry-ons. If we don't go together, there's no way my pregnant wife would ever make it through 4 different airplanes in 3 different cities without some major trauma. So fear not my CFL family, we'll just keep on perservering. Spoke with Lowell this morning and he's feeling better. Trying to get out of China ASAP and hopes to be gone tonight. His words were, "I've had about enough of China for now". They may be stuck here until Friday if he can't get the tickets changed up. Lucy's it is. For all you folks here in GZ, Lucy's at 5:30 on Monday. I'll post it on the GZ hookup thread too. Link to comment

DaveR Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Congratulations to Mark and ShuPing. I wish I could have been in China for the interview, but ours went well this week too. If you storm the consulate, remember it was just a lie started by the Communist loving members of the CIA. They had a few adult beverages and could not get all the niffty decoder rings to work. So they just wanted to use the super secret ultra machine to send congratulations to you. Dave Link to comment

Wait, no one knows what ever happened to the cookie-monster? to the cookiester? to the cookie-in-ator? Too bad in a way...at least she kept the discussions quite lively at the time, and kept us all on our toes about how small cultural and personality differences can blow up if people are not careful (Trying to see the bright side, even if it is really hard to find...). I certainly hope that everyone who is well intentioned makes it through and can be reunited with family, and work to synergize in the future. Link to comment
