You forget that you have stated that you were waiting for " your next chunk of money."
And you aren't married now, soooooooooooooo, you do qualify. |

I don't know. You said, " the next chunk of money I get , I'll be looking at real estate overseas" That's what you said. I have a remarkable memory. Certainly not indicative of a pot head from BC. |

| Why do you always twist things...where did that mentioned my father...it's obvious you are a shady character seeing how you twist things and frequently speak out of context. |

Well, who then? Listen, buddy, from the start, I have always been an honest person. As I recall, me, Rick, and Ekaterina, were voted the most honest people here. I have never lied here. You, however, have made many false statements. Shady? I hardly think so. If the " chunk of money " didn't come from your daddy, then who did it come from? You made the statement; that entitles me to question you, as I have shown. I am not ashamed of who I am, or my station in life. I'm no Oligarch, as you claim to be. Just an average Joe, who works to make ends meet, ( and they don't always )There's no need to tell tall tales, to make myself look better. What about you? |

 That is hillarious! My mother's name is Alla. When my nephew or niece (my brother's kids) address her, that is exactly what they call her! Oh, man! That is funny!  |

marriage that too in 18. i think you read a very old news paper. now as per the rule marriages have to be registered and the min age is 21. Arranged marriages are no inferior to anything. its good to some one like me. At the same time i didn't say LOVE marriage is bad. bcos here most of the LOVE marriages arrive in family court where they get separated from 3days. we have got certain traditions which are well proven and i do respect it. to me marriage is a part of life and i didn't give much importance to to it. my mom who gave education and did all good things till today will decide who will be the choice. I have no considerations in it. Im still 27only and I would like to concentrate only in my profession. |

Hah...how I get my money is my business...and it comes from hard work and sacrifice. Last I knew you scared Rick and Katerina off. No need for me to lie and those in my close circle know that I have nothing to hide. As for you...people are too afraid to let you open up to them. I too am no Oligarch and I live very simply and very close to nature. As true surfers are. I also give up on things to do other things...it's good to be adventurous |

| Quote: | | And actually...is there a certain age in your customs that the arranged marriages usually happen? Or do they happen say at age 18, 20, etc? |
here this is a structure of a family. Father working in a good company in a better position. wife as a home maker. 2 children usually female will be the elder and brother as younger. usually sister gets married at 23-26 years of age. brother has to come up on his own and should be in a respectable job. then by within 29 he will get married. if a family has both female and male, the female will get married first and then comes the male. the sister's participation in brothers marriage is very important as she has to perform religious activities and the marriage will be for 2.5 days.

one of my relative works in tokyo, japan and they didn't say about it like this. infact people from china also says the environment is good. only i heard thailand is somewhat bad. where ever you are if you strict to your work then no one can distract you.

surfguy you are 35??? and still not married. you said you are already retired from armed forces. as you are from US Armed forces. you might have 8 digit $ balance in your account. you will get everything. |

| I was married for 7 years...was with my ex for 9 years...and was in the military for 11 years...and am 39. My retirement is already secured...it's just I am aways from retiring. Although life can be a challenge at times...life is very good and I have been very blessed with all the experiences that I have had. After all isn't that what life really is...a continuation of experiences? |

Look, you don't have to be MARRIED to be happy. Me and my GF are a coomon-law couple, and we are fine with it! In fact, the number of common-law couples in Canada is growing faster then that of the married ones. So, there!  |
