Finally got remarried after 10 years on the Match.com circuit. Was divorced from a 20 year parasite in 2006. Fang and I met on a bowling date in Milwaukee three years ago. She was there on a one year teaching assignment. She is an English teacher in Sichuan, China and will be moving here next year when she retires. She will be keeping her condo in MianYang and spend 3 months/year there......Sept-Nov! So I'll get a 3 month free hall pass for hunting seasons. :) This girl paid for everything!..........taxis, buses, bullet trains, meals, hotels, our wedding reception dinner, our 6 month Thailand honeymoon, her own diamond ring, and all other misc. expenses for 3 1/2 weeks. When I tried to reimburse her at the end of my visit, she refused! Crazy. Never had this before. My system is still in shock.

They have no guns or hunting in China, so her male relatives liked my Glock photos. I had several interesting conversations with her coworkers and family about the American Model for Wildlife Conservation! They had no clue about that. :D

I am 56 and Fang 52. Rarely do women in their 50's get remarried in China, so her family is very happy too.

Actually this was my third trip there. I love going except I got the flu all three times, from people on grossly cramped buses. This time I went equipped with surgical masks, but it didn't matter. When I got there Fang was sick! So I had no chance to avoid it. :(

I never get the flu in the US. I'm a healthy person. Got so frustrated I started doing research. And you know I was never aware of the severity of the 1918-1920 Spanish flu outbreak, which likely originated in China. 20% of the earth's population got it, and 15% of those died! 5% of the planet earth died! Yikes. I need to be careful there.

Anyway Fang is so funny. It's so cool to be with someone with a great sense of humor. I never had that.

My son made 40 trips, me 1 and my wife two. None of us got sick. Maybe you won't get sick next.
Curious what time of year you went, if you frequented any sardine packed buses, and observed sick people around you. All three of my trips were in February. But my next trip will be April. Got a great rate from United $626 round trip Chicago-Chengdu.
