I was searching for Mandarin learning information online found the FAQ page at your blog: http://julesinea.blogspot.ca/p/faq.html<br />(Thanks for sharing those great resources to help you study Chinese;)<br /> <br />It's funny. We are now making an infographic about Chinese learning. We are asking 30-50 bloggers the TOP THREE RESOURCES they use to learn Mandarin Chinese. <br /><br />I was trying to send an email to julie.m@pobox.com to give you a bit more details, but it failed...<br /><br />Is there a contact page here?<br /><br />Either way, thanks Julie thanks for sharing the learning resources at your blog:)<br /><br /><br />YangAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17164401963157874265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359251863867628240.post-90975501252645728622014-06-02T02:40:36.454-07:002014-06-02T02:40:36.454-07:00I can totally relate to the stress that comes with...I can totally relate to the stress that comes with Visa issues, My husband also went through them and the waiting and waiting for a decision is the worst but thank god all those problems are sorted out now, so just stay positive and everything will work out fine in the end, Now we have new problems to deal with but thats lifexXpinkpillsXxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13164973121759142926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359251863867628240.post-23467617083069142792014-04-24T11:35:01.957-07:002014-04-24T11:35:01.957-07:00After being here in AK for the past 8 years, I can...After being here in AK for the past 8 years, I can relate.

He'd love to have twins, less work in the long run, as he says. I wasn't very smitten with the idea of having babies so early into our marriage, but kind of started to like the idea (I like the idea of being a younger mum rather than an older one, as in that way the age difference between me and my kids won't be that big – not saying that being older when having kids is bad). But you're right, there's a lot more you have to consider in a multi-cultural relationship than if you're both from the same country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359251863867628240.post-87222943964614555922013-09-01T21:59:27.653-07:002013-09-01T21:59:27.653-07:00My belated congratulations!

And if in future you find yourself in a similar situation - god forbid! - maybe you should call your hubby and shout if you need to to alert for help. I just hope China won't turn out to be where you won't feel safe any longer.

Anyways I can't relate to the Chinese parent thing so much Jie's parents have been pretty cool, and I probably don't encounter them as much as you and XL's mom cross paths. The ultimatum is legit I agree 100% why even spend $ on rent if you can live 1 floor up with her rent free?? Lol! Almost like living in one of her rooms in a huge house. Also space is good (most Chinese would disagree) The dog..well I can have sympathy for both sides here; my mom has two little shi tzu things whatever...I hate them with a passion and they make me crazy, so if it is really straining your relationship maybe rethink it. I don't know how China deals with dogs nobody wants..probably don't send to a farm in the country haha even still if he really can't be mildly obedient after a year??? Maybe try other options. So just try and move away I think seeing her a little less would help..I'm sure she has useful advice as well as her scorning opinions! I have friends who I can only stand seeing once a week most so try that! As relating to your other blog when I have one of those days...and I got them it usually happens when I'm alone in a public place like a bus stop or a busy restaurant surrounded by Chinese people and I think to myself....what am I doing here haha just try and VPN a movie and have a drink..I also played video games that could help me forget armageddon. I know in Hohhot especially it was difficult in Beijing I had lots of foreigner friends I could easily relate with and could do lots of Western things when I felt that way.Now that I'm back though there are so many things I miss...I guess a good way to close would be the grass is always greener on the other side of the world.<br /><br />Canadian Michael (Fowuds<-Grey's voice)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359251863867628240.post-90406058600071851502013-02-09T07:46:52.876-08:002013-02-09T07:46:52.876-08:00Jesus was adopted by Joseph...

Even though ...I know what you're talking about. Even though life in China like it's right now is something that I could imagine doing forever, but being a wife and a mother in China is a totally different thing. You two are planning to marry next year, we are probably not going to make any plans for that while I'm still studying for the next 1,5 years. But still, as turning 25 soon, I also worry about the future and have the need to have some kind of plans for the future.<br /><br />I agree with your top 3 difficulties. I'm not tolerant to unwanted opinions or advice either. I've grown to be a bit more tolerant during these two years, but I still feel hurt in situations where Chinese people wouldn't get hurt.<br /><br />I guess the scary part is that you can't know what being a mom in China is like before you actually are on, and can't know if you really want to be in China forever before you do that.<br /><br />Talking about marriage, raising kids and that sort of things is very important before marriage I think. For examample ideas about raising kinds can be very different in different cultures, that's also someting I'm slightly worried about. It's a situation where everyone disagrees but everyone is right. So how to decide if something is done like in Finland/America or in China?<br /><br />Sorry I have more questions than answers for you Jules, but wanted to let you know that you aren't the only one with these thoughts!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16856691519582315743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359251863867628240.post-52570214059250105932012-04-18T17:04:00.967-07:002012-04-18T17:04:00.967-07:00yes, one of the reasons I can't share much ya ...yes, one of the reasons I can't share much ya know...haha. ;)Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171193034926733861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359251863867628240.post-33149483456627554272012-04-18T06:59:28.882-07:002012-04-18T06:59:28.882-07:00!!!!!!
