And suppose now the Chinese woman falls in love with that so good Englishman, who ansers so interesting. But after week, what does she think then. Time is an interesting phenomenon. We can get surprises isn't it. And Eliza is after a time not very inspiring. She talks like someone I told it her before.Well Eliza you only function shortly. But now Eliza II is born and she has collectred many conversation with different people. Then she can have a longer relationship, but longer than a year? For other tell sometime about things that are really history. Would you like such company? Have a nice Halloween. In Europe we don't know that. Please don't make bad jokes with razer blades in candy, sweets.in England I thought. Ed
