The girls over there are fake! I always thought coming from the state that Taishan people are honest hard working people. Boy was I wrong. The impression what I got was lazy and sneaky. When I got ...
Wow, you think that's BAD wait until you get married.
You will get the impression most of your relatives think you are stupid because you don't speak very good Chinese. You will have to pay for everything. They will think you are RICH because you are from overseas. If you give anything less than normal, people will think you are a cheapskate. I have heard a few stories of girls using guys to come over and getting divorced.
After getting married, expect having to pay for :
1. An introduction fee to the person or persons who got you together. That is, IF someone introduced you to each other ( 200 to 300 USD )
2. You have to get a ring, depending on you it could be even more ( 2000 to 5000++ USD )
3. Large Chinese banquet in both China and USA. ( 2000 to 3000 USD in China, 3000 to 8,000 USD in USA )
4. Gold and jewelry to wear. That is if you don't have any for her ( 3000 to 7,000 USD )
4. Money to the parents. I think it's call "Lie Gum" in a big, big, red envelopes. You are buying someone to cook, clean & have your kids. ( 10,000 rmb to 20,000 rmb )
5. Red envelopes to people not married yet. ( $200 to 500 USD )
6. Getting a visa for immigration, and lawyer fee for the process ( 1200+ USD for visa; 2500+ USD for lawyer: optional )
7. One way plane ticket 600 to 900 USD
8. She will want to send money back home each month. ( 100 to 200 USD )
9. Weekly phone calls that once was very expensive ( 10-15 USD a month )
9. After five years and getting her green card, she will want to bring her parents over. ( $1200 to 1400 for visa; 2500+ for lawyer : optional ).
10. Guess where both parents are going to stay ? You are going to support them and they are going to live will you.
11. After 6 to 7 years, that's when you know you were CONNED. |
