In Janurary 2009 I met a wonderful woman called Michelle, at first we talked and emailed alot. Over time we got very close to each other and now we are boyfriend/girlfriend now. Some people say im silly going simply due to loosing my job and waiting for word from Cosmos holidays whom im on the waiting list to be a rep again for and they can call anytime, but life is short and sweet and sometimes you have to take the bull by the horns and grab every opportunity you can as tomorrow could be your last.

Its been a hard time personally for myself and meeting Michelle has brought purpose and happiness back to my life, she is my sunshine. When someone asked me how can you describe her I said she is my sunshine, she brings warmth and happiness in to my life like the song: "You are my sunshine my only sunshine, you make me happy when skys are grey....", she means the world to me.

"You are my sunshine my only sunshine, you make me happy when skys are grey....", she means the world to me.

So I got myself together and bought my ticket to go and see her. Ive never been to China, it is a first time for me, I cant wait and I may not have email contact when im there but when i come back i will share my experience here, I will keep a diary book as well as take some pictures. I dont Know much about Michelle's home city apart from it used to be called Canton and has always had connections with Europe and Portugal especially, I assume connected to Maccau's Portugese influence (only a few hours drive away). I did want to go to Hong Kong but my visa is only single entry which is a shame as its only 2 hours away, but I will go to Shenzhen which is on the road to Hong Kong.

This will be an experience I wont forget, not just a visual experience but also a culinary one, well the area is home to Catonese cuisine the food we get in UK in takeaways but this food will be the real mccoy and I cant wait to try, mmmm but most of my trip is to spend qaulity time with the girl I love Michelle.

I wont be able to have regular contact of the internet but ill keep a notebook and keep enteries and when I return i will share my time with you all.

roll on July the 7th!!!
