Re: For silent members.
claire
Dear all talkative or silent members,
Pln and I will be away for a few days as it's a long weekend for us
from today(Thursday till Sunday)!
As some of you may remember that Pln wrote 1.5 months ago that her
family is moving to another flat and it's by this Sunday!
She has a lot to do at the moment and asked me to tell you all that
she'll be back answering Charles,Oshiro,Edward,Kevin and all the rest
of you after she returns next week!;)
Take care,everyone!
Claire

Things here in this country run much slower than I expected...and
there's nothing I can do to speed it up!
We got our telephone line reconnected only yesterday,and our internet
connection has to be reconnected not earlier than this weekend...:(
So Charles,you have been through the same ordeals like me,haven't you?
LOL
I have been so exhausted that I've fallen ill since this Tuesday...
Claire told me and I saw some of the questions posed by Josney!
Thank you so much,Josney!
It's extremely heartwarming!!!;)I'll be back replying to them
hopefully next week!
I just want to stop by to greet everyone NICE WEEKEND as it seems to
be a tradition of mine and I enjoy doing it as well!;)
Take care,everyone and talk to you all soon next week!
Best wishes,
Pln

Another bad week for me.LOL but,don't worry,I won't give up.
The transport system in Chongqing is not good enough.As a native,I can
not find the bus stop some time. Awful!.LOL Also,there are some road
reconstruction,so I lost in a familiar district.LOL
The relationship in china is complicate.Older people develop relations
by drinking and Mahjong,which is boring for me.But,I need help from
them.What can I do?LOL
Hi, Claire,take care
Hi,Pln,sorry to hear that you was ill.You should be careful.
About Pablo,thanks for your sharing
Best wishes
John Awesome
and i think there are some iranian in the gourp, take care yourselves guys, i'd like to hear something from you, best wishes.
somethings happened in hubei, a big province in china. i feel bad about that, and the gfw want to cut some news source to our folks. but we cannot do anything about that.

Long time no see!
Thank you all for your kind words!
Keeping you all in mind makes my recovery easier and faster.;)
Alina,warm welcome to the group!Any help you need,just post your
requests.Guys here like Ed,Pablo and Oshiro have been quite helpful to
me and my teaching since I joined last March.
I'm concerned about Elham in Tehran,too.:(
What's bad happened in Hubei,John?I am not aware of that.
I can't be certain when will be our next group Skype chat as it's
summer vacation now,and my kids are home with me full time.
I'll be available in September,and I'll let you know the specific date
once it's confirmed.
Charles,you're from Chongqing,aren't you?
My kids used to be big Super Q fans.LOL
My husband told me May Day from Taiwan is very popular in China after
he came back to Europe.
Is it true?
You're in a stage of life where you find being like everybody else
isn't that apealing to you,aren't you?
I always describe my own people as 'economical animals' because all
they see in life is nothing but money and food which bores me so.:(
You can either join them or leave them.What can make you feel better
is that you need to find your own sense in following others' footstep
if you want to.
Otherwise,be brave and create your own path no matter what others may
say.
I hope what I just said is what you need to hear.;)
Since I don't know exactly your current situations and all...
Nice weekend to you and the rest of the members!
