Congrats...
SUPER is a nice video converter that can convert just about any video into any other format and its free... You can select from a few different free libraries to use for encoding and if you know the format you want to use then it works great. Just be sure to set the aspect ratio correctly and hit convert.

Yes congratulations Steve! No your first priority should be: Don't let her talk to American women. They will contaminate her with their b1tchiness....

I agree, don't even teach her english! ;D

Congrats Steve, I wish you + chinese bride two life times of happiness (one for each of you). :)

Congratulations. Now go make some beautiful mixed-race babies.

I just also want to add that I wish Steve++ a happy and wonderful wedding too, as wonderful as mine was.

Thank you :). It's on December 28th. I'll find some time soon after to come up for air and post some pictures.

I'm about to marry a Sri Lankan. Eastern women rock! They're proper women, unlike most western tramps.

I agree, Eastern women are so different from Western women, I will never go back to a Western woman, they are just so much better.

I've uploaded most of the photos taken on the trip, I've deleted again probably a good 40% of the pictures taken (too blurry, or repeats), and shrank the size to only 1024x768 so that the download size would be manageable (sorry dial-up users :P). You can get it here 100MB.

How did you plug into the wrong voltage? Aren't the plugs usually different for varying voltages?

These are the two outlets you see in china, I plugged into the one on the upper right, the plug fits, except if you notice in red at the bottom all outlets are 220V.

So I decided to be a stalker and downloaded your pictures. It makes getting married look like a long ordeal that I don't want to have to go through. :P

What is the deal with the popularity of the "peace" hand gesture? Mario (of the Nintendo video game fame) does it, and there's a good number of photos of people in these pictures doing it as well. Is there an explanation or is it just the thing to do over there?

It's just a thing they do over there.

Once you go East, you ... uh... won't have a beast?

My theory is that things don't really go out of style out there, it was huge back in the 60s and 70s, and still happens... Or like some third world nations, what was popular back in the 70s here, is just getting there. (but that I doubt for places like japan and HK)

I get the impression that the East thinks of it as an "American" thing (and something that doesn't go out of style)... :-/ To further solidify it, whenever [North] American artists go touring in the East they seem to do the peace thing... Maybe it's just a language-independent symbol that they can use to make the language-barrier less apparent... :-/

Or they do it because the natives do it.

That's like so not true. I mean, like, even I'm a better woman than some of the Asian women I've met. :-X (There are nice ones too, but they're all really busy ;D)

Anyway, ni hao and stuff! ;D

I don't see why people complain about "hybrid children". In fact, that's a good thing in my opinion. Eliminate racism and cultural difference (without culling :-X).

Noooooooooo T_T

I value the different looks people have, the way everyone can find an exotic place to go. Don't make everyone the same T_T

:P

I think there is too much genetic diversity for the possibility of us homogenising through mixed-race breeding. If it did happen (which would take thousands of years), a hell of a lot of genes, both good and bad, would become extinct. Personally it's something I don't give a rat's a$$ about. Any ethnic combination can work, be they the same or different.

Gah, people, learn the basic facts of genetics: Extensive racial cross-breeding would not result in a race of medium brown people. The result would be just as diverse as it is today. Skin color and other ethnic traits don't work like mixing paint in a can, even though it may on occasion superficially appear that way.

There is no special meaning to a wedding. It only means whatever it means to the bride and groom. That's why I recommend a prenup to anybody getting married. There's really no way to know how serious the other person is. All you can really do is be serious about it yourself and hope the other person means what they say (and insist on a prenup).

long ago there was a meaning. a social meaning (norms they call them) I have to be face to face to defend this one its to complex to type. Im going to get marred in the east as well.

Just as much as there is today, just another religious ceremony.

piccolo, first you need to find someone who would marry you. I don't think freestyle rapping is as popular over there, though I'm not sure about sex stares.
