    Hoi Richard, AT LAST :-)

    Using Firefox now. A new browser did the trick.

  • Heather Spaeth

    I may take you up on your suggestion.  I'll try to figure out what I'm doing first! :)  Keep me posted on this David Puckett fellow, though! :)

    Peace,

    Heather

    Eccentric is good. :)  Hyperventilated today making sure I have everything I need...getting ready to move to China within 2 weeks is a whirlwind! :)

  • CCF Beijing

    Ah, the wonders of editing! (glad the didn't include the other 90 minutes!)
  • Fin MacDonald

    Richard--the search goes on for a third spaghetti-sauce cook!  Hopefully a European!  Let me know if you find one.

  • Kris Van de Velde

    Hoi Richard, Yep - good idea. Will do so!

    See you soon (I may be back on the 16th and if, I'll go 2 Happy Home, too)

    I'm a little poor until Friday, Richard.
  • Chris Knight

    Wow ... now that's tempting. I might have to get my buddy Santa Claus (He's Canadian, eh) to find you a little something this year. What time?
  • Chris Knight

    Ok.
  • Tonya Warren

    How are you Sir Richard? I miss our chats over beers and hope you are well. :) T

  • CCF Beijing

    "50 First Dates" is a funny romantic comedy.

    "Roman Holiday" is even better*.

    (I forget who was in "Roman Holiday". Was it Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn and RICHARD ROMAN?) Ha ha ahaha ha

  • Pepper.Invictus

    hi 2 man

  • Jack Field

    I think the mystery surrounding such names is given greater depth with a level of uncertainty attached to them. Let the people decide Richard. Let them discover, and let the myth grow. Broooohaaaaahhaaaa.

    Hi,Richard.I've send you the book,please check your e-mail : )

  • Minjung Yoo

    Haha I loved it ! The gigs were excellent. I wished the bar was little bit more open space so everybody could see it. BTW I spotted teenagers in their school uniform smoking cigarrets right next table. China is surely very interesting....

  • Heather Spaeth

    I plan on it.  I'm finally back on line at home so I can communicate better.  I hope you have a ticket for me for tonight.

  • Valentina

    Merry Christmas Richard! :)

    Congrats on your "Changchun Friend of the Year", Richard.... you certainly DO deserve it!

  • RAM

    ya ok!

  • Julien Cordry/朱可夫

    Hi Richard,
    Thank you !
    Contrats to you for the award.
    You so deserve it.
  • Valentina

    good idea, Richard! we'll think about it

  • CCF Beijing

    Answer to your question: "I don't know". With the maddening world of the Chinese decision-making process....it may be awhile before I know. It could be Siping 3-days/ cc-4 days. Or Siping 5-days/ cc -2 days (Or Siping 7, cc-0, I hope not). Richard, jr asked if I would do another couchsurfing. We will see. That last event "got alot of mileage"....my former student is a TV producer....she put it on her news program.Here's that video that was on TV (go to the 16:30 minute mark and play). Take a look:

    Hi Richard,

    How much is HK Sevens trip? Looks like fun.

    (*Speaking of fun....I saw some pics from the Feb. 26th event. Good stuff. Chinese version of the America show "Russian Girls Gone Wild" with boxing. Cool stuff.)

    P.S. I'll be in cc 1-3 days a week. See ya round

    Cheers,

    Jeff "King of Siping"

  • CCF Beijing

    ooops...I meant 2/25 event

     

  • Yana

    Hello, everybody!

    I want to say that unfortunately I didn't visit the party, organized by Valentina. СПАСИБО ОГРОМНОЕ, ВАЛЯ!!! :):):)

    And I want to say that I didn't understand the comment of The "King of Siping": why he compare the RUSSIAN HOLIDAY with crazy American show which nobody never saw and DON'T WANT TO WATCH!

  • Yana

    It was wonderful well-organized holiday! And it wasn't the show!

    Please, explain me. I didn't understand him!

  • Vinz

    Would you like to join Richard and Clement on Sunday evening? They are coming to my place to watch the 6 nations France vs England.

    Kick off at 11 pm but you can come earlier!

  • Ilaria Sun

    Yeah, I've received your email for a long time, but just log in today.^_^

  • Valentina

    May this day bring to you all things that make you smile. Happy Birthday Richard!
  • CCF Beijing

    RR and RR,

    About the photo. Arizona is an unusual state. It snows in Flagstaff, Arizona (the north). In Tucson and many other parts of AZ...it is desert. We played rugby in both elements in the same season!

    About British sports...

    Can't say I understand the sport of cricket... I used to get the "Australia Channel" in Qingdao and watch it anyway. (P.S. Looks like the British P.M. is becoming a basketball fan...)

    Played 1 year of rugby as an inside center and 2 years of football (what we call soccer) as a halfback. In the U.S. - we also have an "indoor soccer" league which is played on what looks like a hockey rink covered with astroturf. Since I have been overseas I started following English football- though as an American I can't say I know all the rivalries. As an outsider- it appears to me that Man U., Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are the perennial favorites...and Man City is a relative newcomer to the top of the league standings. Am I right?

     

    Cheers,

    K of S

  • Heather Spaeth
