Q: What are you doing now?

Hello... apparently I remembered the password from all those years ago.

 

How is everyone here? Been a long time... shit, though... looking back at some of these posts, I'm kind of ashamed of being such a retard. Not to say I'm not still one, but I'd like to consider myself a recovering tard. Ah, well... live and learn. 

 

Still see some familiar faces. icniff77, Viki, ScotsAlan, Hotwater, etc. 

 

What're you all up to these days? New kids? New gigs? Left China? Still there?

Hulk, good to hear from you.

 

how is your life there, I will be going back July next year, galveston area,

 

I can't get a date for classes over to book a ticket to saipan for 3 weeks of R & R, no work for the summer, world is too peaceful.

 

I am relaxing with billboard 80's today Saturday, too hot and too crowded everywhere, even in a tier 3 city.

I do like the new guy in charge.

 

What do you do when an immigrant becomes a doctor and shoots up Fort Hood and countries steal your technology?  FIRE THEM. and don't let it happen again. Imagine a politician that wants to learn from mistakes instead or repeating them. Unless his entire family is out of China, he could still be blackmailed.

I just realized I live in a new apartment building with only 3 residents, a Chinese teacher at work today, a store owner who takes the whole family to the store all day and myself. I can crank up ACDC as loud as I want and nobody is here in a very crowded country. The crazy foreigner is going to dance on the terrace to "Funky Town" after a few shots of Scotch. I better put up the sunshades first, so I don't end up on weibo.

Pretty good. Have a 3rd kid now. How about you?

Agreed on Trump doing good, but don't agree with everything he does. Seems mean to prevent some people from joining, though. Haven't heard of that immigrant doctor shooting up Fort Hood... wtf?

 

I live near where you'll be next July. Hit me up when you're in the area!

I have a couple of offers in Texas City, Is the area still being rebuilt with plenty of work.

Craigslist seems to show things are good there and far enough away from crime and bad schools in Houston. I know the owners of quality carriers there and could drive or do the office work there. I only need 3 years till I can cash out my IRA at 59.5 years.

Have you noticed how Trump brings up something and outrageously lies about it and the press attack like vultures.

 

The vultures don't realize he lies about something they don't want to talk about in the news and wants people to be in the dark about it. So he takes a hit, does not give a shit, and now that policy is being talked about, in the news, and now the back seat politicians have to voice a position in public.

 

The goal he had all along. The maestro plays the press better than Bobby Fisher on a chess board. The whole world knows Congress does not want do any thing on immigration and now every body in America knows it from the media that never talked about it before. The press did not want to talk about it. oops. sorry.

Run my own business, business goes well. still single, hope find a husband. Traveled to NYC, good experience, might move there for a while.

Hulk:

Glad it's going well.

 

Hope you can find a husband... but maybe your standards are still too high?

 

Go to 'murica and enjoy it. Immigrate if you can. Legally, though.

Viki87:

The only progress I made in my life is business. Which is the best thing I have achieved so far. Yea still picky. But I got approached by some really hot western guys which I find them attractive while I was chilling out, the problem is I was being a dumb ass, I was being shy and not being responsitive then they think I'm not interested in them and walked away. Not sure if I want to immigrant to murica, but let's see.lol Maybe I should go back to New York for guys hunting. I got a lot of guys came to me while I was in NYC. But none of them are my type. But only for 9 days, I didn't stay long enough to meet more guys. I wish I got a trainer to help me overcome some shyness. I remember back to many years ago, hulk was helping me, which helped but I become very shy again while no one is there helping me anymore. Hulk, I miss you back!!! Add me on whatsapp? Wechat? Skype or Facebook? Maybe I'll visit you next time while I am in America. Should be this year or next year. I shall rent a room in Brooklyn or Mahattan and bring my laptop to deal my trading business. Hehehe I saw there are many nice bars near 53th street, very nice. I want to chill out there.

Hulk:

Heh, I'm glad your business is going good. I've been seeing some success myself lately as well.

 

I don't use any social media at all... so it would be tough to add me. Maybe I can set up some kind of chat client later.

 

Don't be shy. You know what you want in a guy. Go for it.

Viki87:

I put on my glasses this afternoon while I'm out on West Nanjing road area, then I noticed a lot of foreign guys were looking at me. Most of them did it in a way which is not obvious, if I have not put on glasses as the other way, I wouldn't notice. Among them, there's an handsome guy who turned around check out my butt while thinking that I wouldn't notice. He didn't come to me still. Maybe shy,maybe he has gf. One young foreign guy stalked me a bit, but he did it in an non obvious way too, but he's not my type, so I didn't speak to him then he's gone. The others either looking at me or telling me that I'm hot, but too old, I didn't respond.

Viki87:

Hulk, as I'm shy, I think I'll just dress gogerous and sexy to go out. While a guy who's my type is looking at me, then I just smile to him to encourage him to approach me. Most of the time, I didn't wear glasses while I'm out, so I wouldn't able to notice who's looking at me if they didn't do it obvious. I should have put on glasses everytime I go out or wear contact.

Hmm, I’d not posted for a while but as you asked...

 

I’ve pefy China. Got a new job starting on Monday in the UK. Project Manager. 

 

My wife is going to move once she has her UK spouse visa. Fuck me this part is stressful! I’ll write up how bad Theresa May’s “hostile environment” is once my wife is with me. 

 

The best thing about my new job? They have a factory in GZ so I’ll be back 3-4 times/year on business trips!

Hulk:

Yeah, we left over 5 years ago. Neither of us want to go back... not even to visit anyone.

Hulk good to hear from you. I'll be leaving in about a year when my wife's papers clears

Hulk:

Good to see you again as well.

 

Excellent. Good luck. You may want to consider CR-1 if you're a U.S. citizen.
