Awful!.LOL Also,there are some road reconstruction,so I lost in a familiar district.LOL The relationship in china is complicate.Older people develop relations by drinking and Mahjong,which is boring for me.But,I need help from them.What can I do?LOL Hi, Claire,take care Hi,Pln,sorry to hear that you was ill.You should be careful. About Pablo,thanks for your sharing Best wishes On Sat, Jun 20, 2009 at 2:15 PM, John Awesome<[email protected]> wrote: > hey, pln, what is the time you guys are going to talk on skype, i 'd like to > attend in it > > On Fri, Jun 19, 2009 at 5:46 PM, pln471 <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Dear all, >> Things here in this country run much slower than I expected...and >> there's nothing I can do to speed it up! >> >> We got our telephone line reconnected only yesterday,and our internet >> connection has to be reconnected not earlier than this weekend...:( >> >> So Charles,you have been through the same ordeals like me,haven't you? >> LOL >> >> I have been so exhausted that I've fallen ill since this Tuesday... >> Claire told me and I saw some of the questions posed by Josney! >> Thank you so much,Josney! >> It's extremely heartwarming!!!;)I'll be back replying to them >> hopefully next week! >> >> I just want to stop by to greet everyone NICE WEEKEND as it seems to >> be a tradition of mine and I enjoy doing it as well!;) >> >> Take care,everyone and talk to you all soon next week! >> >> Best wishes, >> Pln >> >> On Jun 19, 9:54 am, Charles <[email protected]> wrote: >> > Hi all, >> > >> > I am back online.Is Pln back?
