uniquely Chinese ?

[Windmill Boy]

Hello All

I just got a quick e-mail from my fiance.  She writes  that  she has been working a fair amount  lately and is runnning low on the sleep  lately (arn't we all).  She is going to Hong Kong for a couple of days for business and pleasure. She will have the  opportunity to meet one of my former coworkers from california and her new husband in Hong Kong on their honeymoon.  Kat said that  she will be greeting them  with "Panda Eyes"  due to her lack of sleep most likely  ha ha ha.   Is that Chinese  of what.

While we are still waiting for packate 3 to be processed and the arrival of packate 4 and an interview date  we are trying to arm Kathryn  with as much materials for her interview as we can. Just this week I mailed her all of our early e-mails  from september  to december from last year.  I sent  her  all of the phone bills and  all of the tickets and recepts from my trip to china last february.  I have also had some family members and my minister write letters on our behalf  and my  coworker is composing a letter and will give it to kathryn.  We  are arming ourselves for the upcoming interview  since I only had the opportunity to meet  her  once and they might question this and the validity of our relationship.  What can I say except the post office is making a fortune off of me  with the mailing costs.

Eric,

The long wait will come to a good end. I know, I married my wife and then waited two years before she came to the U.S.A.. Small steps lead to long journeys. Be strong and all will be well.

Now,
Snatch the pebbles from my hand. ( Hint. Old T.V. series)

Take care and God Bless,

Ken

Thanks for the encouragement.  As  I got out of work tonight I can begin to feel the nip in the air and I can see my breath, so I realize that the plan and time frame we have  is still appropriate.   Her arrival here  in March / April  hopefully will  allow her to enjoy the summer and get acclimated to upstate New York.  We  actually had a very cool summer this year  hardly got into the 80's  while  she  had  many  days  above 100 F in southern China.  I do not know if  it will make up for next winter  but I want to let her at least enjoy some summer next year here  before the 6 months of winter.   I think  it is best that she passes on the winter of 2004 - 2005  at least.

Patience is a virtue.

Having her spend her first few months in the US as winter in Buffalo, might just sour her whole experience. I had a friend from San Diego move to Ft Wayne, Indiana in the fall a few years back for a job. His wife lasted til January before she packed her things and flew home.

I grew up in Minnesota and always used to say that the summers were great, but if you were sick that day, you missed out on the whole thing.
