Go with personal listing, by shear volume this is the best. Expect hundreds of letters, and rent a PO box so your mailman won't start asking too many questions (before you know it everyone in the neighborhood will know about the guy who is looking for a wife in the mail) trust me. I have written overy the past 3 years thousands of letters, made 4 visits to Asia, 3 to LA, 2 Euro. As with AW's time is the great Vindicator, give someone enough time and they will show true colors. BTW- many of these ladies who write you have been married before, have children, boyfriends, problems, just like the rest of the world. good luck bro, Title: Re: Shotgun approach.

Alex, Sounds like you have been out and about meeting the ladies.Thousands of letters,9 trips to three continents over three years.Nice.Very cool.Must have been interesting.A question though.Is this a hobby or a serious search for someone special? Just curious.I can't really speak about FSU or LW's but I know a correspondence and a visit from a foreign gentleman is a big deal to alot of Filipinas.I suspect it is the same for ladies of other countries.Do you just explain upfront that you have places to go and things to do so they shouldn't expect much?Or is each one a potential life partner so no explanations needed? tito Title: Tired fingers Post by: alex on June 10, 2001, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: Shotgun approach., posted by tito on Jun 10, 2001
Well, I use Sundays to write to the ladies, I keep at least 12 going at all times, this number will drop to 6 or up to 20 or so. I buy Birthday Cards at Dollar General by the box, same with all holiday Cards. Return Postage Coupons from the Mail Box Etc. are a must. I travel with my job, my original goal was to have company in major places like HK, SIN, or BHK, now looks like Mainland China is next. Yeah, I feel like a dog doing by keeping more than one. Here is the truth, three years ago I had a girl picked and I went to HK and she was a complet B$#%H, she spent most of her time on a cell phone. Luckily, I was interviewing with a BHK company and I was able to salvage something with a Thai lady, but I am not Bud. so out with that, in her eyes. I wasted a lot of money with the "one and only one approach" many of the guys on the board told me to visit three, this is what I have done, and it has worked wonders. I know most of these girls have other Pen Pals, but they wont' tell. Sometimes there friends will write and give some dirt on what's happining. When I visit I always ask for the address of her friends and I send cards on holidays with a photo, this helps keep things interesting. Lot's of gals with problems, just like the US, but easier to deal with I believe. Most of the ladies are Domestic Helpers, so I send New years card to their employer also, usually they will let the lady out for the evening till about 10pm or so, this helps out on keeping Sundays free in HK or Sin. Also pick two ladies in HK, because Cathay stops there, book a stopover with Cathay and get a great room with free transport to Kowloon real cheap. Email me for photos or travel options, Goodwife has great info as well. good luck Title: Hong Kong Hotels Post by: cc on June 11, 2001, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to Tired fingers, posted by alex on Jun 10, 2001
What's you recommendation for Hong Kong? I stayed at the YMCA (great location!!!) but even that was about $80 a night (US$, not Hing Kong$)... Title: HK hotels - always expensive Post by: Jimbo on June 11, 2001, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to Hong Kong Hotels, posted by cc on Jun 11, 2001
YMCA Yau Ma Te is great; breakfast buffet is included in that $80. You can't do much better than that unless you stay in a pension house. asia-travel.com will show you the internet specials.

Chungking mansion, $150 USD for one week. That is cheap. Also you can go to the Otter Disco on Sunday and meet plenty 0' Fillipinas who enjoy dancing and beer, the bar opens at 1300 and it is packed.

Dodge, People I know find addresses online or in catalogues, and then write snail mail, email, use chat, or find introductions through other means like friends on this board. So I agree with huma's advise, if not his delivery; he's not known for his tactfulness but that's part of his charm :o) Jim Title: he he he what a charm *S* Post by: Peaches on June 09, 2001, 04:00:00 AM Title: Re: Re: Advice on tour companys Post by: humabdos on June 09, 2001, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: Advice on tour companys, posted by Jimbo on Jun 9, 2001
