I can understand how challenging it is to find time with your significant other, especially when there are kids.
I have seen many couples (at home) whose relationship becomes strained when the children arrive as both are constantly tired, or one or other (or both) focus too much on the child to the detriment of the previously more close relationship with their partner.
Some even...

I don't like it when people invite me out to eat when I barely know them. Like student's parents.
It's tedious, awkward and I never feel comfortable with being railroaded into a fake friendship that means I now owe them something, usually special attention for their little emperor.

I think we will be rounded up and escorted to the border.

See Yingzhou Dental Hospital if they have clinic in your city. Cost of one implant is from 1000 - 5000 RMB, depends on material and model/Co. used. Lowest price was for 'all metal' and S.Korean firm and French implants&teeth, all ceramic were the most expensive.

collect calls are in the too hard basket in China.
Yes, use Skype if that is easy for you, however Skype is owned by Micro$oft and I do not want to use that.
What I have is a Voip softphone setup on a mobile without a sim card and switched to aeroplane mode with wireless manually switched on.
I found Linphone works well....

I wrote about my overstay in 2012, I think, so you might read it already. Here we go:
'I came to Louhu some 10 hours into the no-more-RP-day and cops put me in the office for some 2 hours sit-down.
I was late at exit because plane in Tianjin was more than 14 hours late at departure and at my arrival Luohu was already closed.
I am guessing, cops might knew...

They are right man, there has been a M, S, L or Q visa system where they don't issue any visa's to anyone going to China especially those with old M or Q visa's in their passport and its because of the National Holiday, it's "control the flow time".

Both docs. will come handy at new employer. You won't be required to exit...

From my experience, it depends on the bamk and your deposit. I paid 50% deposit and the Construction Bank wanted to throw as much money as we wanted at me for around 3-4% interest. My wife is local and all they wanted was a certificate from my employer stating my salary. It was almost instant. They keep asking if we want more money to this day.
And yes, my (Chinese) name is on the... -
