Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend, Again
 

One of the sweet benefits of the aging process is that you get to go shopping with your grand daughters and that somehow it is so much easier at the same age than it had been with your daughters. The lack of direct authority, perhaps, allows the grand daughters to speak more freely. Also, as a parent I was younger, more rushed, more goal oriented which would have put pressure on my daughters. With my grand daughters, if they don’t see anything they like, that’s fine, really, and not a waste of time that would make them feel guilty.

With the grand daughters, we are all liberated from those old parental urges and teenage angst. And how the grand daughters shop is also more liberating, and liberated. Take diamonds, which are not on each weekend’s mall walk, and now for a reason. Where their mothers had steered clear of blood diamonds from Africa, events have trnspired to take those blood diamonds off the market with wars and warlords later, the world has moved on. And massive new diamond finds in Australia and in Canada have flooded the market with precious near diamonds of near perfect size and quality.

Our grand daughters know that blood diamonds are old news, and that new diamonds can be purchased in bulk amidst bargain sales over the net, which did not exist until recently. But now, the grand daughters have discovered low bid auctions, and have their friends over for a web party. Not every viewing party results in a purchase. But when that happens, there is much laughter and cheering. It gives me a warm feeling to see their triumphant gestures when they have pulled off a win.

In contrast, these days when we are at the mall the grand daughters are interested in the clothes: apparently they have to see it, feel it, amd then one of a handful, they try it on. Once the garment has been tried on the decision is quickly made, usually negative if the garment makes the wearer look fat. And this comment from a grand daughter as slender as a model. A diamond of a human being really, brains and beauty, and as well a quiet inner determination. It is well to observe your good works being acted out in a generation beyond that which you sweated so much about.

Now, at the grand parent stage it all seems so easy and natural, this process of birthing, creating and growing perfect people. You set your standards high and your children saw that and were influenced by that and it all became part of who she was to be, adapted by all the things that influenced that along the way. And now her children tell you that mom doesn’t understand, and you go for a walk together and talk about that. You talk about the pressures of being a parent today, and how bothneed to work to pay the family finances, pressures a teen will learn much about all too soon.

How these diamonds of human beings affect your judgement will be seen in your behavior towards others. Do you show empathy for others? Or are you quick to take advantage of another’s error? Our grand children are looking and listening while we unconsciously walk our talks each day in life. How much they need your love and approval will determine to what extent they incorporate your bad habits with your good. For they will hopefuly have heard honest fair values discussed at a Sunday School or some youth group or even at school.

How well you encourage their worthy behaviors will be shown soon enough in the compliments or complaints you receive from others about their behaviors. Loose diamonds are not only a commodity now available over the web, they could well stand for those individual souls we have put so much love and good values into that we know we have cast a diamond out among with ordinary carbons of life.

Marco Polo And The Silk Road To China

By 1220 AD when Marco Polo and his father and his uncle began their treck eastward, they had to carve a route from Europe to the China of Chinese antiques. There had long been a Silk Road to the east from Damascus. In fact as Damascus was the western terminus of this thousands of miles long trading route, the finely woven silk Damask was created in Damascus, the oldest continually inhabited human settlement on earth. The great arc of civilization lifted around Jericho, down through Mesopotamia and Sumer, and in the fertile Nile delta of Egypt.

This area became the cradle of civilization, as it was the first wave of humanity out of Africa. The peoples living in this area had the most time to evolve their ways of mastering their local environment and how they adapted themselves and the local crops and the domstication of animals moved humanity forward from tribal to urban, at least in the first city state effect of ten thousand year old Jericho before all, then the fertile crescent of Mesopotamia at Sumer and then Babylon, and fertile Nile delta Egypt. We now know this area as Syria, Isreal, Palestine, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq,Turkey and Iran known as the Levant and area.

We know that civilization in Europe came directly from India. History shows the westward drift of civilization from India came to us through the Persian Empire, who had roots in nearby India; who fought against, yet were absorbed into western thought and mathematics. Carved statues in ancient Persia shows kings walking hand in hand in harmony, and this was centuries before Roman power with emperors who made themselves Gods, as Alexander had done. Alexander had defiled decent concepts of free will.

Free will, in good or evil are Indian, not Chinese in their influence. Chinese talents praise the emperor and allow that the highest duty is to serve the emperor, or the state. The Sanskrit words of India are the basis of modern wetern expression, math came to us from the Arabs. Yet it was mysterious Cathay and its more mythic Silk Road that drew medieval Venetian travelers drawn to the possible route to the mysterious east. Travel between the west and the east has often held unpleasant suprises, an Marco Polo came prepared for this, as his father and uncle had before him.

With Marco Polo it was a natural route to follow as his uncle and father had completed with success. That is, their trading vessel would take them down past the Dalmatian Coast and around Greece, up the Dardanelles and through the Bosporus at Constantinople into the Black Sea. Here they would transverse up to the north east edge of the Black Sea, and begin to meet and interview temporary guides to the east. This was best arranged with tokens of tribute, but no show of wealth ever.

Any foolish enough to display wealth could easily die on the trail, or in dark alleys. In those days of 1220’s Silk Road to China entailed many obstructions of a physical or human nature. Each had to be handled in its way. Aragged mountain pass on the descent down from the great high plateaus of Tibet down to the burning sands and brackish water of the Gobi Desert. By then looking quite ragged theselves by then, Marco Polo would fight off fear and a sense of desperation and continue to encourage the pack animals to move further along.

Even if you or I were not on that 1220’s series of walks along the Silk Road, you can display the sense of urgency about realizing your moment, and what to do next. With Marco, it was to keep well hidden his cache of diamonds to trade for rolls of silks and packets of spices. How you buy now while their nas not been a notable rise in price allows you time to gather your Mings in May, so to speak. For when the autumn winds of a decade from now will be here all so soon. And Who will the new rich Chinese buyer want to see.

When the buyer of your Chinese antiques has searched and asked Google who owns her great grand mothers Mings and things. And she finds that the owner is - you. How you handle her will require serene inner wisdom; kowtows by you should be graceful and supreme. Make her pay, Marco. You have shown infinite wisdom, smile with inner acceptance, you hold your retirement porfolio of success, enjoy.

Chinese antiques

To consider how China today is the same, yet different with the Chinese Antiques shop tradition of Marco Polo is to speak of a riddle within a riddle. China is the mystery that is unfolding before our eyes, with more transparency than ever, yet mysterious as ever. The China of Genghis Khan was a peaceful land and most armies of China were no match for the smaller forces of Mongols. Each large populated valley of Chinese to fall to the forces of Genghis often suffered great slaughter. Yet always the most gifted artisans and craftsmen were saved.

These chosen excellences were to be sent to the growing capital at Beijing where fine art works were created. Such an irony that great slaughter created a feverish, life saving flourish of finest art works. Each new conquest brought new waves of craftsmen who would affect the art created during their ascendency. The Golden Hordes came only after enough conquests of Chinese areas allowed the armies to have sufficient waves of humanity. Often the villagers of a recent conquest were herded ahead of his armies as Genghis and his forces moved westward.

To be one with a gift was to hold in your hands life savings abilities you were careful to cultivate. To have such a gift was to know and understand that you chose your subject matter with care in ways to ensure the emperor was pleased and your efforts ensured you a long and harmonious life. If you had any individual thoughts you kept them to yourself. Or you found small ways to make your work stand separately from the others making your art work or treasure. This in the era of Ming you might be remembered as the great craftsman of that era, if not for your real name.

But to be known as the Ming of the craftsmanship of that era was to hold noble achievements in deed. From the times of Confucious all knew that the greatest achievements one can hope is to serve the emperor well. The question of personal responsibility or search for life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness does not enter the historic Chinese equation. The great sweeping waves of humanity seen at the closing cremonies of the Beijing Olympics proves the point: all great sweeping movements of people shows China as one in harmony with the billion.

Todays modern day Marco Polo must keep his aim high and watch this great surge of humanity on its way to becoming the most glorious new civilization on earth. China is also now the most dynamic society while it undergoes a massive transformation in decades what western societies took centuries to accomplish. We miss the point, that the hundreds of millions of Chinese are on their way to greater wealth. We buy their lead lined modern pots and ignore their Chinese antiques. Buy low sweet chariot, buy low now and let time do its thing.

Imagine a decade from now, when Ms Wong checks the net to find great grand mothers Mings and things. She finds they were purchased an inflation driven decade earlier by an astute investor - you. Smile sweet, investor chariot, allow hedge fund fun to play your way finally this big time. You hooked your wagon to one heck of a predictable yet hidden means to wealth production. But you must do more than have the vision. You must also act on it now, and in such a richly expansive market to find and hold your mings and things.

Step lively, Marco before you are looking at the rear ends of the horses of fashion arrive. Your time is now. Let the horses see the back of you! Let it be you who ponies into the front of the pack before the main crowd gathers.

The China of now is the same but different from the China of Marco Polo, as the China taking shape into the near future.

When we come down off that impressive high China gave us we can reflect on what all we saw, even as we resume our always busy lives. The pyro techniques were awesome as was the sea of performers. We watched as they did execute their subtle moves with such precision. China has ramped up performance and show one large new step, and not for the first time in history. China will be heard now, more clearly than ever, while we buy their products and bemoan our local economic health.

China has been great before, and when it, or its Mongol proxies hurled out of China and at the western world there has been terror and death. The China of Marco Polo might serve as reminder. We know that Genghis Khan built his armies slowly and with care. Genghis might slaughter most in a city, but would invariably save the finest artisans and craftsmen and send back to Beijing to perform their crafts. Thus with irony during times of great slaughter to those in the angry path of the armies of Genghis, great art works were being created in the capital.

Fortunately for history and the heads of Marco Polo and his father and uncle stayed on their shoulders by the grace of God and Genghis. Marco became an instant master of the respectful deep bow of service to the emperor and those in Court, the kowtow, deep bow. Marco learned how to enchant young ladies of the Court with his smiling bow, gracing and making blush each princess. The great irony is that today we ignore Chinese antiques and shop low price modern. Leave the buggy load of lead lined pots to Ned, Marco.

Stop, drop and roll with your vision. Imagine the present millions of Chinese middle class in a decade. New rich princess, lets call several million of them Susie Wong, will tire of their state monitored gadgets and wonder who now owns grand mothers Mings and things. A check on the web shows the owner is none other than you. Make her pay, Marco. Be inscrutible. Request she take off her shoes as you charm and bow to her while she studies your mantle. Lined with her Mings and things. Smile in ways mysterious to all but you.

She will brag she met you. Your retirement nest egg fund has just pulled in. Lucky you had such vision a decade earlier to buy low sweet chariot. Buy low and sell when she’s high.

The China of past glory gave us Mings and things, China today is even more glorious.

Recent articles have reminded us that the land of ancient Perisia seems msyterious threat and source of comfort on what it has given to us all. To have been of the Persian empire was to have so inside the tent of civilized behavior, commerce, trust of the rights each other, property, values, languages.

When Alexander conquered the world he really only took over all of the areas that had been under the command of Persia at its height. To see the glorious richness, and the softness of kings holding hands, sweet harmony.This enormous difference of what would on on display such as in Rome was gentle refined civility, not the head in the hand of all elsewhere. Alexander, our civilized genius tore and burned this magnificent Perspolis enough that Persia has never rebuilt at the site.

And yet Greek culture arrived in full majesty, as Alexander married Roxanne, daughter of Darius, and urged large ceremonial marriage bettwen thousand of his men with ladies of Persia. So, through to Afghanistan we see monuments, and blue eys, of Greece and there are many an Alexander or Roxanne in many a small village the the land.The arrival of Islam cause many rifts which have not healed: the fact that Iranians are not Arab brought immediate fracture which stands.

What we need to remember is that the population of Iran today is double that in 1978. The new Iran does not really hate America, they are ordered to, some do, most do not. Universities are rife with free voices. The mad mullahs reject voices other than their own, insisting it is only they who speak to God.

What rich cruel irony that Iran and Isreal, similiar attutudes to the rest of the world, face each other off.Thank God they do not share border, fear God and Allah for missiles and nuclear weapons. Pray we pry. So for now, we play tennis with our good hand tied behind our back. And our racket up our ass. How when or why we recover, get the broom out all asses, get back to talking, and talk things out. The mad mullahs will fade, even while rages through all Araby.

We must remember: these are not Arabs. These are our direct grandparents. And surely love can reach through to blood.

So on we go. We need to reach out to each other and find ways to communicate more, not build up walls to deeper mistrust and hatred. Such arrogance in the face of God and Allah and Buddha must really stop, when we do finally really my blood is your blood is their blood and stop the bleeding.It is time for a cilized way to enjoy an afternoon. Let’s play tennis, anyone?

Description

The Iran we love to fear and loathe is modern Persia, the first true western civilization out of the dark red clay of Africa. Out of here came light.

One of the defining elemental life forces we find are how we need and respond to inert objects enough to give them personalities. Take a diamonds and gem stones shop mind set if you please. The harvesting of richest essential finds such as new diamond in the searing desert of Australia and the icy polar bear inhabited lands of far north Canada. And you know that in these hellish conditions the toughest men and women on earth are being well paid to bring those gems to us.

We are not sure of Australian but Canada hires and ensures that locals get first chance to train world class in their skill requirements. These diamond service workers are now well in to the diamond cartel and partnerships have been created with NYC and the jewels flow, which has a confirming factor to the market. The Canadian stem pipes of diamonds tend to cluster tighly packed and then crumble apart into large gem almost ready sized diamonds. Local are being trained by Antwerp experts and you now have greater assurance than ever on great quality into a confidence zone market.

Diamonds are required by science and industry and eagerly consume their share of each new find. Diamonds from the west were in relative abundance in the not so civilized peoples of the west, at least those peoples of Venice by the sea. But still for centuries as now Venice was on the wrong side of the sea to be yet able to trade through to the Orient, or even much beyond Constantinople near the gates to the east, part of the east itself, and yet one could only dream of east beyond the Black Sea and into the misty vast mystery of Asia.

Up that seeming never ending climb of mountains, and way up and over they say lay the land of Cathay. And it must have been so for glimpes of this Heavenly place could be found in an occasional slip of silk, forbidden out side of China, where the fearsome Khan controlled all and this included fire balls from hell. So it was with likely fear that diamonds well hidden in the cloaks of beggars had Marco Polo and his father and uncle guide him, with always a local for a days journey often no more.

For each person can carry other duties through the most tricky mountain passes, and particularly an introduction was needed, it was more cousins explaining the urgent swift bribe built in safe passage on yet another gate post to the Middle Kingdom. Diamonds to the mighty Khan and perhaps a favorite neice to be a favorite wife of young Marco, silks for diamonds in abundance, rich wealth and fame if ever to get to return back to Venice. But for now, the gentle rustle of silk entices, while you rattle your diamonds and gemstones shop rollers all day.

How you play with what rocks you have will determine how you may end up when the counting is done. Bliss and sereneity if you choose wisely, less so if you do not. We wish you well, diamond chosing moments do go as if a wisp, even more quickly than they come.

Description

Your name need not be any body famous if you are holding, or wearing a diamond. And perhaps all that is holding her back is your bold move. Where is your diamond, Marco?

The diamond has always been the most precious posssession out of creation, beyond even gold, The most grand princess resplendent in her riches of gemstones and gold had to have a centerpiece that held a diamond for all to see who was most precious. All would look in awe as this diamond of a person glided around among her admirers. She had diamonds in her eyes, and there was splendor all around;and so she flowed as one of a few where those human diamonds such as she.

In China was Confucous, who taught of good behavior and obedience to the emperor state. Confucious he did not believe in an after life, nor do many modern Chinese. Then came Guatama Buddha who lived from 560 to 480 B.C. Buddha was born as a prince in royalty in a palace of diamonds. Buddha’s mother died when he wasa youth. He left his wife and children at age 29. So it was that at age 29 Prince Guatama left his royal life behind to find in a simpler way to live. Buddah went to find peace somehow within.

At that time the ancient religion of Hindhu beliefs held that there were many gods and goddesses, many fables and stories, in that the world was balanced on the back of a giant turtle, or gods with many arms. The existing religion also supported the bias of the times. It also had a caste system that is hard for India to shake, and it had become a central part of the faith. On top were the usually lightest skinned leaders and those of the court, who were then deemed closest to God.

Many religions still follow this five thousand year old Brahmin superiority over other faiths. Buddha was high in this caste system, actually in the second highest caste system, those of the warriors, who had to be that high, like modern day bureaucrats but more as protection on their way to Heaven first. Down it went until the darker skinned people were the real life and spiritual untouchables, and were perhaps going to have to undergo many transformations before such harmony and suffering could be completed.

And until that, their children were doomed as they to be the sewage duty for all this life. Buddha rejected all these thoughts. His quiet, diamond eyes found eight steps to bliss, painful discovery at a time. By the time of his gentle death at age eighty, a very old age for that time, Buddha had began his last mortal day with a simple meal with his family of friends, and they all began a final meditation as one in this life. At the end of the meditation, which my faith encourages twenty minutes as perfect, gentle Buddha had followed his meditation into Heavenly Nirvana so blissfully.

A diamond of a life was lived with Buddha. It was three followers of Buddha surely, who were wise and from the east, there to look in to the diamond eyes of baby Jesus, the Christ child. The next son of God would surely have eyes that glittered like diamonds and when they saw this was so then they knew. And this search is still the way Buddhists next door to India of Buddha, in high mountain Tibet. Here when the reigning holy man is frail or in fear of dying, most other holy men begin to prepare for their journey in search of the next leader.

After the death of their dear leader, these three wise men follow the trails of Tibet. They look into many eyes, each set of eyes in Tibet, each new born child. Some times it has taken the holy men years before they find their next reborn leader. When that diamond of a soul baby is found, all holy men must agree. When they look into those eyes the diamond soul must be seen and felt by each wise man. When that does occur then all rejoice and praise their leader. The new dali lhama is always a he, at least so far in history.

He is adopted and brought up in that holy place in Tibet now a Museum, and they would always there nurture him for life. Diamond souls in Lhasa, there are diamonds in the eyes of the most kindly at church, or in a smile in a grocery line, and as our souls every day in life. Researchers at the University of California have showed that there are eight general virtues of those who report most bliss and happiness in their lives, live the longest, report best health for age, gender, and income group.

These sound an awful lot of church going people who do charity work that I have known.

How are you going to keep them down on the yhurt, after they’ve seen Beijing? So a billion people watched these most glorious ever Olympics - no need to ponder Chinese antiques or any old buildings. Now that the games are over life goes back to the daily routine as things are evolving to be. For many farm youth in rural China today, the lure of the coast and the jobs becomes ever more real. We learn that it is often the younger daughter who leaves the family compound in the valley towns and villages, and ventures for only months not years at a time to work near the coast in a factory job.There are dormitorys we learn as the man with the golden BBC voice shows us places. Work here in clean modern factory, walk these ways to shops and dormitory home, all new. We learn these migrants return to their village often, some times staying at home for work as available in the town or the fields. Toilets are a rare commodity in the country side and a luxury in the new dormitory life style on the coast. Much is provided, few additional luxuries are needed to survive, live, work, and enjoy some quiet time while your factory job takes precedent.

How you enjoy the modern lead lined pot or melamine soil laced product or simply a fine, cheap and worthy appliance seems to need so careful choices on the part of all of us. We do know that the earlier great civilizations that had walls built to protect them from northern barbarians had created many fine products. To be able to get your hands on any rich relic of bygone days would be to put you on a more fast track type of strategy than many of your fellows are doing.

To buy low any rich old Chinese antiques is to place your self into the future destiny of a wise investor who wants what you have because you chose so wisely. So what if it is a future Susie Wong and she has conquered it all now. But she does long for her grand mothers Mings and relic old things. And when she checks and her web browser point the fate finger at you, hold to your price, while you make her gasp. Stick your neck out Marco, your timing was fine, your choice of antiques divine.

She must take off her shoes near your shrine, her mantle lined with Mings and things. When your long low bow makes her blush, you show you understand. Princess Wong has been trained to see how you flatter her so, is a test to prove she is special Princess. To deal with the mirror backward Orient mind, if you are of the west, consider this. Think of your self as a left handed tennis player playing one billion three hundred million right hand tennis players. That always causes challenges, because you are different.

Now, if you practice your back hand so it is your strongest shot and you play that often, you now have two advantages which can have you beat players better than your actual skill level should support. So this can apply when you as one of the west challenges a rich female Chinese antiques investor. The question is how. By buying back her family heirlooms.

She will brag she met you, you can tell her the price is going up but she can say it was all so easy, you are just another Marco Polo wanna be. Win win, and you get to serene all the way to the bank.

Description

To see modern China in full display is to know the power of a rising center of civilization. To understand the past is to know the rest of the Chinese experience.

We search for diamonds always, and still we crave for more. So what is it about a diamond that causes us to want it so. It is our eternal search for perfection, as sparkling diamonds are surely gentle God’s most pristine perfection. As these shafts of carbon that somehow come from the boiling inner hell of the earth, these slivers of coal transform in this amazing upward pressure of heat. They shoot up to and above earth’s surface, as sparkling diamonds as by magic of God or creation, through cracks in the earth.

Until they are found in fine bundles, and off to your hand. Although many become drill bits, these diamonds cut steel to turn the wheels of industry so. Perhaps as with people, so many lumps of dirty coal, so few precious rare diamond souls. And so it seems also among people. Some times people can all collectively go mad as when Genghis Khan or Napoleon urge their people to fight others, and prove absolutely their crusade, our holy lands are more sacred than my jihad. Red ant mad ant madness, all self loving lumps of coal all blind in your rage.

A monk of Tibet would know his own place. We hear a Tibetan elder speak to the camera, why does Han China not go back to his place? We are reminded that even Russia went home from Afghanistan. Even Red Bear Ivan left Kabul enters Georgia, more blood on his face, follow that case, go home back to Moscow, Beijing, London or New York. All Huge Pandas who bully slow down meditating, harder work. And when we remember that the present Dahli Lhama was selected in his youth since the first arrival of a holy man from India after the death of gentle Buddha who lived in the years 560 to 480 B.C.

Tibet has searched after the death of each holy leader at the babies born after since then. Some times may take them years and each holy man must all agree. Tibetans all await as they are truly looking into the diamond eyes of God in this newborn child. Our modern history allows us to conceive how natural this began our own paths and how we might be well served to take this step of holy love out and beyond mystery at Christmas, but through out the entire year, every years.

How do we relate a diamond soul with diamonds in the rough? Well it seems pretty natural to us: gentle Buddha allows you to enter his kingdom with a piece of fruit, a flower and a small hankie. How we all find the diamond soul in our other wise ever much to frenetic and hectic life schedule is a challenge now and will be. How you crack the egg of free liberty involves how you stop and think now of each purchase you make, each direction you go. It is not written until you write it.

Right the wrong, fix the mend, diamond your self up to a standard you know you can maintain, once you remember to hold your head straight up and go forward. Keep us posted. You can do it.

Diamonds are the great gem of mystery, gorgeous women, fast cars, jets, excitement. They also makes the machines of the world go round.

To be a part of the gloriously staged and artfully created Beijing Olympics as pure genius. We are the world should and did applaud and allow ourselves to feel we really are all of the great famiy of humanity. Lest we forget. It is glorious to get rich, and China is becoming rich by making products we used to make for ourselves until the factories could not compete and over the seas the jobs did follow the purchasing of foreign better made products. We had to notice the clear blue skies over Beijing.Blue sky where there had been foul smog days earlier was lost amidst the glamour of the crowds and the stadiums brimming with heart rending stories of fine triumphs and heart aching misses and dreaded fourth bests and their tears. So forgotten these days was king smog, and this was a man made marvel of plant closures and vehicle bans. What ever else it all worked towards what a controlled state such as modern China can do when all are agreed what must be done for the glory of the state.

To burn coal to create power to create goods to sell for profit is glorious; not so much when Olympics are being played. In China this is an easy order to coordinate, in America it would take a while to make happen, in Italy there would have to be a revolution and several changes of government before the weather could be tampered with. We suggest that while you are certainly welcome to purchase you quota of melamine soil or lead line pots from modern China, just before the earliest models are out at garage sales down the block.

You also check out some Chinese antiques sites and see what they were. Mings and things are still showing up on antiques web sites and they are not making any more. They do not likely have lead or melamine if you can stand that. You could see that any such Chinese antiques purchases you made now were almost primordally going to rise as you buy them. For the growing modern great civilization knews what it has been, and how well you can adapt to that is to you profit. So buy low now, sweet chariot of fire, become the Marco Polo of your grand fathers dreams.

Show them your stuff. When somem future Ms Susie Wong makes her fame and her name and wants to regain her greatest grand mother Mings things, she checks the net and find that proud owner is - you. Stick your neck out Marco, ask her to take off her shoes at your door when she wants to study your mantle filled with her Mings and things. When she gasps at your price, you smile with a deep secret within you and bow very low. She has been trained to know you old flatterer you test to be sure she is special princess.

Hold to your price, Marco. There will be another buyer soon you warn her. She will boast that she met you.

Description

All seems so glorious in the grand new China, not that we can forget their Chinese civilization has been great before as well.
