Sounds like a very hectic time! Not sticking to meet-up times is so typical here, it can be an hour or two before or later. It's happened to me a couple of times, but never for such a stressful thing like that.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the test job.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671311883343642773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-88321879044935543882009-04-05T22:42:00.000+08:002009-04-05T22:42:00.000+08:00"so bare with me."Are you sure ?"so bare with me."<BR/><BR/>Are you sure ?Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-29169108790044079122009-04-04T23:03:00.000+08:002009-04-04T23:03:00.000+08:00Ha, yep sounds *so* China, but glad it all went we...Ha, yep sounds *so* China, but glad it all went well.

Deep Red China, maybe, just……<BR/>“husband-to-be”, it is called "毛脚 女婿máojiǎo nǚxù" by girl's parents and other relatives in Shanghainese. Maybe the same in Suzhou Hua.<BR/>This weekend(tomorrow) is the Tomb Sweeping Day(清明节Qīngmíngjié), sweeping and clearing dead family and ancestor's tomb. New tomb buring is forbidden now.<BR/><BR/>Do you know another girl from you country, whose chinese name is 李琳(I forget her real name), there is a book "金发碧眼看中国" written by her, tell about her Chinese learning experience in Beijing and seeings and opinions about China. I suppose it's a good book from "Laowai's" view.<BR/><BR/>Good weekend.养蜂猴https://www.blogger.com/profile/02898325803685357794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-60591122699835864382009-04-03T10:14:00.000+08:002009-04-03T10:14:00.000+08:00life is like as your planned always...
