Just a few weeks after returning to the Chinese dating scene I have hit gold. Her English name is Ann, Chinese name 张晓 ( Zhāng Xiǎo ), she is 27-year old building architect from Beijing. She has done part of her studies in Netherlands and she speaks good English (not a strict requirement for me, but handy for possible later integration to Finland). But most of all she is very sweet and thoughtful and we have spent lots of time virtually together and things are moving fast - as they should when there is good mutual match and interest. What a world of difference to the sad stagnation we ended up with Jinlin!
So my flight-tickets for a three-week holiday in June in China, originally bought to see Jinlin and later re-assigned for some personal travel in Sichuan, have once more been getting a new and very lovely purpose: spending time together with Ann, learning more of each other, planning our future together and meeting her parents (which, if you know about traditional Chinese parents, is a Big Thing)
