    Anybody want to know some sports scores to bet on? Maybe a stock tip or two?

    With their "one child" policy, hot Chinese women are a rarity! All those families with their successful sons... and no one to marry them to!

    That policy is no longer in place. They can have two kids now. Total baby boom now!
    "Hot" is a relative term and what westerners perceive as a "hot" Chinese woman is different from what the Chinese do.
    To put that in perspective, I am constantly approached by women here. In the US, I have to drive around in my van looking for them... :Roflmao

    I have been happily married for 13 years to a smart and beautiful Chinese woman. :inlove:

    Bus ride cell coverage is spotty...

    Clockwise from the rice is a spicy bamboo stir fry, greens are generic poached Chinese veggies, top is potatoes and smoked pork in a simmering wok, and finally sweet potatoes noodles called fen si. Wash it down with some local tea and call it delicious!

    So we are on a bus heading into the countryside to visit my wife's family lao jia, old place, or hometown. My mission this trip was to deliver my mother and father in law here so they could see it one last time. They are both in their 80s now.
    The old place without running water has been replaced by a new home which we will see for the first time later today.
    Couple of more days and I will have my Merida mtb in hand to show the locals how to rip!

    Not that I have seen. There is plenty of beer about, Tsingtao, Snow, Huang He even Budweiser. Pabst Blue Ribbon is a premium brand here... Go figure.
    I don't drink any more and there are
    Very strict rules against any kind of smokeable flowers so straightedge Ross is in play...

    More shoe covers for the glass cliff trail. That's 250m straight down... Into the clouds. Look up Tianmenshan wingsuit deaths for some harrowing stories...
