I'll see your problems and raise you a place full of attractive Willing Chinese girls, most of whom can't speak English, think all Westerners are rich, and expect a wedding ring as soon as you touch them...

Grok deeply, (why should I have suddenly sliped into a term from Robert Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land"?
Could be due to being one!
But I don't feel strange.
One of the younger kids I teach also said to me, "But I'd forgotten you're not Chinese".
I was very touched.

erm...
I feel strange at my own home. smiley - sadface I guess it's more the feeling than the actual situation. Some people are never strangers.

Well, if you don't know your body, try to fall in love with it.

It helps.

But if you have a tiff, get out of there fast....

Well, (blushing slightly), nothing's stiff at the moment, but a tiff is a fight between two people who are close to each other.

Hati

I see...
No, I don't like it enough to fall in love with it. We are not on the good terms. I don't trust it.
