http://www.travelchinaguide.com/cityguides/guangzhou.htm Having lived in Guangzhou for a couple of years I can say that there are many Africans or African/American people who do legit business there at the Canton Trade Fair held twice a year.Unfortunately as many have also been involved in criminal activity the government stopped giving out business visas so liberally.

Few years back some Africans took a lot of Thais to the Canton Fair and made them invest money in non-existent factories in China with promises of being able to supply goods which of course was a scam.I've been aproached on many occassions also with offers of exchanging money which is fake.The Canton Fair attracts a lot of criminals not necessarily restricted to Africans or African Americans of course,crazy time of the year where if you are not careful you can get conned/ripped off/robbed.

GZ is 90 minutes by train to HK and an hour to Shenzen so it's easy to get out of China to HK or Macao if they are doing anything illegal.Was trying to find the link from a newspaper which is momentarily down.You will also see many Africans/African Americans on the train from HK to Guangzhou.If they are crims,Bangkok is the obvious pit stop as HK won't have them.

What a ridiculous idea to sedate a child.Why not just get out the stun gun and pack the child out back with the animal cargo?Lol.What do you do at home? Use the TV as a babysitter?

Unless there is a very real medical condition with no other option and under medical supervision then follow the doctor's advice.

A few books,read some stories,buy some story books with tapes,colouring in,games etc. there are lots of ideas for amusing a child on a long flight.No sweets or food additives to increase hyperactivity and plain commonsense.Kids are kids and parents make them what they are.If you start getting angry and nervous the child will pick up on it.

Try to get a window seat and for part of the flight they'll be sleeping anyway and advise the flight attendants beforehand,I'm sure they've dealt with many cases of kids on planes.

As many have mentioned before it depends on the woman and many other factors.

Culture shock plays a big part in this and the ability to adapt.You can ask yourself as a farang how can you last so long in Thailand?No easy answers.If she finds a niche in life/friends/support groups/lifestyle then it is much easier to adapt and get along even though the family ties will be strong she can always go back and visit.

Ideal situation is living in farang country for six months and Thailand for the rest of the year.As my Chinese friend married to an Aussie for many years this works out perfectly.

Lol it's not the size that matters it's the technique.Poor guy,awful story.Rminds me of the other thread where women have surgery because they want to revert back to virginity.

Alas have to agree.The age gap is way toooooooooooo big.Generationa gap.

Maybe she needs a sugar daddy then

Someone send ZPete a message thread is down in the doledrums again.It should be snappy like Old Croc!

'Just to say that the first time I was starting to see what, for me, was an older guy, if I look back and if I am honest, I was a bit overwhelmed... (I was 26-27 then as had been in a long term relationship prior to this for MANY years!). The fact that he was a MAN and not a younger guy more around my age made me think that he was gonna expect me to get straight down to it. Rather than take it slower, like guys more my age.'

26-27 is not a man? Lol my husband is much younger than me but if the chemistry isn't there it's not there.Chinese people especially the younger generation don't have any qualms about chemistry.(In response to the OP saying she's half Chinese).

If the heavens don't weep,the angels sing and the lightning bolt doesn't strike on BOTH sides,well then.......Better just ask her straight out OP and don't waste your time on forums or real life speculating about it.

I don't have a problem with it.All my past boyfriends before I met my husband sniffed my ears,licked me,pulled up my panties up and gave me golden showers before farting.Then they tried to kiss me.

Lol with advice like that you can't go wrong Intumult.

Back on track,well only you know what's going on.Why not ask her straight out 'Can I have a kiss?' Or tell her you want to be her bf then see what hapens.Assuming of course you can make her understand what you are saying.But really,will you really be satisfied with someone who can't hold a decent discussion with you about anything?

So what if she looks gorgeous.Many girls are gorgeous.Take the blinders and beer googles off and assess the situation from a realistic point of view.If you have serious relationship plans with this woman then play along.If you just want to shag her well she's not into you or playing games.Forget it and move on.

And when you two are alone, in a confined space, like a taxi...or even better yet, an elevator, just rip a big loud fart too. Sexy!

hence the dutch oven. (letting one go under the sheets, then pulling them over her head)

Oh, that's the "dutch oven". I thought it was a metaphor for...I guess..."laying pipe". How about the "golden shower"? All girls love the "golden shower".

Are you obsessed with bodily functions Sub? Gross.

Run Forrest run.

She's playing games.Seems a bit odd to me.See how it pans out and hope it works out but many things going against this one.Communication barrier being the number one.

Being Thai/Chinese is no explanation,you are being a gentleman and you can't figure her out because you can't communicate.Maybe she'll hit you to pay for English lessons next.Dunno,for me how can anyone date somone who can't speak the lingo? The basis of any good relationship is communication,the physical passion dies eventually,then what? Hanging around a beautiful doll for what?

She's doing everything else trying for intimacy except the kissy thing.....so if she won't say why or can't say what's next?I wouldn't waste my time.

I concur with Momo. I also raise, and propose the following new rule: "If you have to ask on an internet forum, the relationship probably isn't going to work out."

All kidding aside, the circumstances sound weird to me. 6 weeks? Long enough for a kiss in my book, and even according to conservative Thai standards. Assuming that your teeth are in your mouth, and there aren't any other hygiene issues, a kiss is not asking for that much. If she was really into you, I would think it would have happened by now.

Sorry to bring this up, but I am reminded of something. Prostitution is legal in Nevada, but there is a long standing rule that prostitutes will do anything except this. What is it? Kissing. It is too intimate. And in this case, if she won't kiss you it seems that she just doesn't want to get intimate with you, or maybe isn't attracted to you. You mention that she is 25, but you didn't mention your own age. Maybe she isn't attracted to you but is stringing you along for some other purpose, be it monetarily or out of the novelty of having a farang boyfriend. I am not inside her head, so anything I say is speculation, mind you. But not a peck on the cheek after 6 weeks? That is weird. It is also weird to be holding hands in front of her parents. My cousin is married, and lives with her parents in the same house (with her sister). I can't say I have seen her holding hands in front of her parents--and that is her husband.

Something is up, I don't know what. But "Run, Forrest, Run."

UNLESS....she's got you picked out as potential husband material OP.

She wants to be perceived in front of her family that you are her boyfriend and she's not going any further because she wants you to think she's a 'good girl'.Just giving you a taste/tease but that's all.Then again Sub has got it right too.Prostitutes don't kiss their customers because it's too intimate.Heck I've watched 'Pretty Woman' too.

Soooooooooo from my point of view I would be extremely wary about entering into a relationship (if that's what you plan) with somone who can't understand you.All kinds of problems and misunderstandings will arise.Don't put youself through it,stay friends but don't let her touch you and be so familiar with you.

Lol I hope she hasn't said 'Me love you a long time' to you yet.Also if she has led her family to believe you are her bf be careful she doesn't set you up for something.You never know.

As to her being half Chinese so what? Hope you are not the same guy who posted 'Thunderstruck by Beauty' and this is the next stage.Saying this is all a bit odd is an understatement.

So combine the threads JD some goodies on the old one and I remember the OP's original post as one I've seen on the other thread.

Right on Sugha.

So what's the male equivalent then?Bastard has too many letters.

You may remember the old Jewish Catskill comics of Vaudeville days, viz., Shecky Green, Red Buttons, Totie Fields, Milton Berle, Henny Youngman, and others. Don't you miss their humor? Not one single swear word in their comedy. Here are some examples:

A car hit an elderly Jewish man.

The paramedic says, 'Are you comfortable?'

The man says, 'I make a good living.'

No,no this is an Irish joke.

A car hits an elderly Irish gent.

The paramedic asks 'Are you comfortable?'

The man says, 'No,I'm Paddy'.

'You know you're British when'.............you lie back and think of the Queen during sex.

At least in Australia our imagination is better.

OK very funny but why do people always make blonde jokes when brunettes can be just as stupid?

Speaking from my blonde point of view that is....

ZPete needs a map to get around his condo,he can't find his computer to post.

Are you there Pete?

Trite observations

Between the ages of 15 - 18 a woman is like China or Iran.Developing at a sizzling rate with a lot of potential but as yet still not free or open.

Between the ages of 18 - 21 a woman is like Africa or Australia.She is half discovered, half wild and naturally beautiful with bush land around the fertile deltas.

Between the ages of 21 - 30 a woman is like America or Japan.Completely discovered, very well developed and open to trade especially with countries with cash or cars.

Between the ages of 30 - 35, she is like India or Spain. Very hot, relaxed and convinced of its own beauty.

Between the ages of 35 - 40 a woman is like France or Argentina.She may have been half destroyed during the war but can still be a warm and desirable place to visit.

Between the ages of 40 - 50 she is like Yugoslavia or Iraq. She lost the war and is haunted by past mistakes.Massive reconstruction is now necessary.

Between the ages of 50 - 60 she is like Russia or Canada. Very wide, quiet and the borders are practically unpatrolled but the frigid climate keeps

people away.

Between the ages of 60 - 70 a woman is like England or Mongolia.A glorious and all conquering past but alas no future.

After 70, they become Afghanistan or Pakistan.Everyone knows where it is, but no one wants to go there.

Chinese are funnier.A Swiss friend of a friend who is a company director has the unfortunate moniker of Patrick Dick.He insisted everyone in the office in Bangkok call him 'Mr Dick' (no kidding)

He went to HK on a business trip and met some girls in a Wanchai bar and introduced himself.They all laughed and called their friends over.

'Ohhhh this guy is soooo rude,he said he has Plastic Dick'

Really no kidding.The guy is proud of this story.

Council complaints:-

My bush is really overgrown round the front and my back passage has fungus growing in it.

.. and he's got this huge tool that vibrates the whole house and I just can't take it anymore.

.. it's the dogs mess that I find hard to swallow.

I want some repairs done to my cooker as it has backfired and burnt my knob off.

I wish to complain that my father hurt his ankle very badly when he put his foot in the hole in his back passage.

.. and their 18 year old son is continually banging his balls against my fence.

I wish to report that tiles are missing from the outside toilet roof. I think it was bad wind the other night that blew them off.

My lavatory seat is cracked, where do I stand?

I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is coming away from the wall.

Will you please send someone to mend the garden path. My wife tripped and fell on it yesterday and now she is pregnant.

I request permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen

..50% of the walls are damp, 50% have crumbling plaster and 50% are plain filthy.

I am still having problems with smoke in my new drawers.

The toilet is blocked and we cannot bath the children until it is cleared.

Will you please send a man to look at my water, it is a funny colour and not fit to drink.

Our lavatory seat is broken in half and is now in three pieces.

I want to complain about the farmer across the road; every morning at 6am his flange wakes me up and its now getting too much for me.

The man next door has a large erection in the back garden, which is unsightly and dangerous.

Our kitchen floor is damp. We have two children and would like a third so please send someone round to do something about it.

I am a single woman living in a downstairs flat and would you please do something about the noise made by the man on top of me every night.

Please send a man with the right tool to finish the job and satisfy my wife.

I have had the clerk of works down on the floor six times but I still have no satisfaction.

This is to let you know that our lavatory seat is broke and we can't get ABC TV.

Could only happen in Australia!

Maybe you should have asked your eye doctor to look it up for you then.

What's a lion's take on the size of human mammary glands then?Do you prefer Mrs Lion with a big set or smaller set?
