    People often ask us for relationship advice, and a lot of that advice that we give comes from our experiences in China with both dating and getting married. In this episode, we talk about why we chose who we did, and how it all worked out for us.

    My Malaysian Chinese wife is the best. Honest, hardworking, PhD educated, beautiful. Amazingly she had been classed as leftover woman as over 30. After one date, our chemistry was so strong we decided to marry and three years later both live in UK.

    • @zeiitgeist
      @zeiitgeist 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Don't remember Malaysia having the idea of left over women, however, Chinese in Malaysia tend to vary, those more in-tune in western media and outlook will tend to avoid mixing with majority of the local population due to their inability to interact with them normally, they typically also have another perspective of what Malaysia or the culture really is - when they put in the effort to exposed their background to others.

      Angus Lee Not always, when I met my now wife the first time we had already basically decided that short of finding some hidden deal breaking thing about the other, we would get married and try to have children. We communicated online and by phone before my visit, and a little less than a year after my first visit she had moved to my country and we started wedding preparations and were actually wed less than a year from our first encounter. 3 months later she was pregnant.
      Not all people see it as being primarily a romantic love thing, although that also usually is there.
      In case you are interested I'm European and my wife is Japanese.

    The big thing that western people overlook when you say "you marry the family" isn't just that you marry into their family, but they are also marrying into YOUR family. At this point I've had more than one relationship with an asian person turn when they realized my family doesn't mesh with their ideals. Just because your family is cool with you finding someone from overseas, doesn't mean your potential partner is going to just be cool with them automatically.

    My wife is Malaysian. We have two sons, 21 and 17. We live in Northern Cal east of Sacramento. She attended 6th grade in America and First Form in England. Her native language is actually English. Has a diploma from Malaysian Institute of Technology and a BS in Finance from Cal State Sacramento. I was specifically looking for an Asian girl friend who could go the distance and she was looking for "a Yank, a man like you." She has seen more of America than I have, has been to Japan, England, Scotland. We're in our third decade of marriage. My mother was born in London, raised in Perth. My father was in US Navy six years some of it in the US Asiatic Fleet, nearly all in the Pacific. Served from '39 to '45. She and I fit the parameters you set up for mixed marriages that work. I know of 3 mixed marriage involving Malaysians that did not fit your recommendations and did not work. Wife's father did undergrad work in Queensland, phd. in England. My brother-in-laws have masters in engineering from UK. One brother-in-law has Danish wife with a fashion business in Malaysia. Her father was a career-long expat. She worked for one year as the manager of a resort on Easter Island. I enjoy my periodic visits to Malaysia and the East.

Watching any foreigner living in China with their Chinese girlfriend or wife makes me long for that again myself, because it's such a special and delicate bond that you have which winds itself across two cultures. I miss being in a relationship with like that.. it's like two souls from different worlds coming together, and it's magic.

    Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar was used in the movie "Flight of the Phoenix" (2004) is an awesome Medium Cargo Aircraft, replaced by the C-130 Hercules still in service. The fighter is the Northrop F-5E Tiger II (has the oval nose). It has that gorgeous female coke bottle shaped fuselage. My favourite fighter of all time. So many aircraft derived from it, T-38, FA-18, F-20 and many X-Planes. Thank you for sharing.

    I agree with half or more of your findings about the chinese people i have traveled to harbin to all the way to thailand. Yes there are many things i do not like but that is their culture and the way they do things and somethongs you will never understand or will understand.
    I have been married to my wife for 10 years and i would never change that it was the best thing that happen in my life. We live in california and we travel a lot to china to see family and friends that we have made....its always something new to learn about china and the rich history that i enjoy.
    As for her family they love me and accepted me with open arms...so i guess i am one of the lucky one's that the family has an open mind.

We plan to get married as soon as her visa is approved!! Now I am planning my third trip to China and can't wait!

I became a Christian 8 years later. It is good to have a solid foundation for a marriage. “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock."
    “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” (Matthew 7:24-27) NKJV

Not saying that can’t be overcome but it would definitely irritate.
      Simply put, it takes 2 very open minded individuals that have a true love for each other.

We each had very different concepts of what the wedding was because of the very different denominations we grew up in. It was important to both of us to let the other one fulfill that dream. We also didn’t want to keep family and friends who were important to us out of the wedding-so we had 2! We even had two sets of blood tests and wedding licenses in each state because we didn’t want one wedding to be “the real wedding” and one wedding not to be “real.” We each have fond memories of the whole deal and we love getting to celebrate for two days straight!

It was treated as the home of fairly primitive natives. The island came under Chinain the late 17th century and went to the Japanese in the late 19th century, just before the Boxer Rebellion, I believe.

    Worst or one of the worse reasons to marry is because all your friends are.

      Yep, that's a terrible thing to do...peer pressure to marry just because everybody else around you is. Sheep mentality and it's even more prevalent because of social media...you see all your friends status updates or you're attending like 4 weddings in a year and then you think something is wrong with you...this is a frequent topic coming up with friends of mine who are all in their thirties. It's your life, your future wife or husband and you choose when. Do it for the right reasons and for the right person

    one was The Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar (Navy and Marine Corps designation R4Q) is an American military transport aircraft developed from the World War II-era Fairchild C-82 Packet, designed to carry cargo, personnel, litter patients, and mechanized equipment, and to drop cargo and troops by parachute. The first C-119 made its initial flight in November 1947, and by the time production ceased in 1955, more than 1,100 C-119s had been built. Its cargo-hauling ability and unusual twin-boom design earned it the nickname "Flying Boxcar".
