Not as exotic as living in China, but when we lived in France for 7 years, I found a group of wonderful women - only one was English, but they were all so friendly, kind and helpful.Snowyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04944724956205419885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7251884284618638312.post-19517626008162229712013-05-17T04:29:40.814-07:002013-05-17T04:29:40.814-07:00Avril rest assured these women are all smart intel...Avril rest assured these women are all smart intelligent women in their own right, who are happy to work hard to support their husbands, not always as easy for the ladies who lunch as you seem to think. Many of them do charity work therefore putting something back into the community where they live. Perhaps I have just been lucky finding such wonderful women who support each other. thecelticcookinshanghaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02074941689107686213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7251884284618638312.post-25604104445897978092013-05-17T02:19:24.515-07:002013-05-17T02:19:24.515-07:00Glad you had a good weekend, Jacqui.

As you say, great to have such a good group of friends, here in Shanghai. It makes all the difference when the menfolk are away.greenbeeinshanghaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552036971990559770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7251884284618638312.post-56227801152420465762013-05-16T22:51:30.170-07:002013-05-16T22:51:30.170-07:00Glad you are enjoying your time in China. You are ...Glad you are enjoying your time in China. You are such a social animal. I never embraced that sort of lifestyle in Antwerp because ladies who lunch I found too boring. It was all about how important their husbands were, the women there didn't seem to grasp they could be important in their own right not just an appendage on their husband's arm I hated it. Much better for me to have a job with chidren so fulfilling and stimulating. I used to wish I could but never mastered it. Spain suits me and even although I am retired there is always something interesting to do. Abroad Quinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304270256948417102noreply@blogger.com
