		<description>A-ha! You don&#039;t have to go to China for that staring-rape. Go to Bats in Shangri-La and leave your hubby alone for 5 minutes, and see how long it takes for him to beg you to rescue him from those scary chicks. They also normally give you death-stares by the first minute you walk into the room, thinking you&#039;re their competitor...:P</description>

		<description>Appreciated your take on this, Parvita. I can&#039;t imagine...it must be hard to sleep in hotel rooms a lot (I know I have trouble sleeping in a new place lol), nothing beats the comfort of your own bed. 

LDR, I&#039;ve done it with my husband, it&#039;s tough but it was even harder when he had to work in China while my son and I just come and &#039;visit&#039;.</description>

		<description>I agree with Anita, whoever thinks that business traveling is glamorous are wrong.  There is this one time when I traveled so much because of my school work (I was a geology student at that time) and I figured out that I was only 4 months at &#039;home&#039; in a year.  It is nice to get out of the routine for a while but after a while, it gets into me and I just miss my bed and my doggies.  I am dating a guy who travels a lot for work too at the moment but we come to the terms that we both do travel. 

As for chicken issues, I believe it is the same between me and him, there are always those guys/gals that tries to get more then just our attention.  We always meet people anywhere, not during traveling only.  The tough part is long distance relationship.  I&#039;m not an LDR believer because it never worked for me.  Not that I don&#039;t trust my partner, but know myself well that I cannot commit to that sort of relationship.  I suppose it is different when you are married to each other but like you said, I bet it is difficult.</description>

		<description>Those were exactly my hubby&#039;s words when he had to spent nearly 2 months in Ireland &amp; France of how he&#039;s nearly got bored out of his skull after working hours and didn&#039;t feel like exploring too much because he misses us too much and knows how much we&#039;d enjoy it given the circumstance that he can take us there lol. 

I agree with you on the bragging issues, like it&#039;s a trophy to parade different guys these girls can snatched. Sad, really sad and pathetic for sure. Will have to dig into your archive to see your interesting writing about the &quot;chicks&quot; (am a fan already btw! :D).

OMG, the &#039;staring-rape&#039; at first when I read that online I thought wth? But when we were at one of the big supermarket in Guangzhou, it happened. Since we have a little boy whose easily bored during grocery shopping, we&#039;ve always walk separately. I&#039;ll get the stuffs that we need while hubby tries to entertain the lil&#039; man by pushing him in the cart and do whatever it is necessary to keep him from being bored. At that time I was looking for tonic water from my gin. The shop attendant speaks very tiny bit of English and after I failed to describe tonic water, I just walked away off to see the other isle but not before I told hubby that they don&#039;t have it. Hubby was right behind me when I was talking to that girl. It wasn&#039;t until I got to the next isle when I heard her talked to hubby in her broken English. &quot;Yes, she&#039;s my wife!&quot; Curious, I made a u-turn and saw her just standing there trying to engage so hard in a conversation with him while giving him this porn star look. He ignored her and quickly pushed the cart away and grab my hand. Disgusted is too much of a low term for how I felt that day, I wish could biotch-slap that girl right there and then. I mean, c&#039;mon...at least have some decency to do whatever filthy tricks up her sleeves somewhere else, not in front of a 2 years old. Scary for sure. And that&#039;s just a tiny bit of the &quot;chicks&quot; tricks in China.</description>

		<description>Yeah, people think that traveling for work is glamorous. They don&#039;t think about spending nights alone in the hotel with a TV remote and minibar contents, missing home and family, and they forget that those who are left behind consequently must adjust. I&#039;ve been there, done that, and it was tough. I hope having your family around helps a little. 
 
About this &quot;chicks&quot;, well I&#039;ve written about it a couple of times in my blog. Even now I am still shocked to see some people can put themselves so low like that for money, and have no respect whatsoever towards the marriage institution. Sometimes they even brag about it. So pathetic.

Elaborate more about this &quot;staring-rape&quot; thing! It sounds very scary!</description>
