Wife will be needing her own laptop unless you're the one stealing hers to use for yourself.

You should invite her, that we can get to know the real Italian and maybe she might even see the post with your marriage proposal *smirk*.

Introduction Bruconero

Sorry to disappoint you, K, but my wife is not Italian: she is Indonesian. The laptop is a shared good so, what can I do? Moreover she needs it for working and deserves to come first.

As for the marriage proposal, is not a problem at all. She already gave up with me (laugh). No, seriously, she knows I like to joke and it doesn't annoy her. Actually, is the opposite. Sometimes is her pushing me to go on when I start teasing on someone. But her favorite is turning my jokes against me. We have a restaurant here. Once, there was a young girl often coming to our place and trying to hit on me in a shameless way. Joking, I said to my wife that I had an admirer that was younger, prettier and richer than her. Few days later, that girl came with her parents and presented a marriage proposal. I was totally embarassed. Only at the end of the day I learnt that my wife told that girl that she was nothing more than a friend to me and that I was very interested in knowing the girl better! Wicked!

Fantastic! You've met your match. Does she speak English well? How did you guys meet? Hope you don't mind me prying but I find these things really interesting.

Sorry if I sound like party-pooper but that's very mean, maybe the girl was really interested in you and didn't know you was married? I don't know, lying to someone (the girl) in order to make fun of someone (you) else is cruel.

I was kind of thinking that too plus she is a customer, not really good for business but I'm curious, did she come back after this?

Bruconero Introduction

Here is Indonesia, things are slightly different than in our countries. The fact that the girl came with the family right away, proofs that we were not wrong about her. Probably is the parents that told her to come to our place to "Try to get the Bule" (Bule is the local term for "White Skin"). Foreigners are a very yearned prey amongst locals. Not many of us in my area and everybody knew since the beginning that I was here (I was, and still am, something like an oddity). I'm sure that the girl didn't care at all about me, I was just a good solution for marriage in the eyes of her family. You have no idea how many times a mother or a father offered me the daughter as spouse (laugh).

In the big cities is different but where I live girls at a certain age have to find a husband or become "Strange", "Unwanted". Having a foreigner as the husband of the daughter is a sort of status symbol for some people. The poor want you for the money, the rich for prestige: in the end everybody wants you (laugh). I had offers to get somebody as a second wife also (this is a Muslim country and for some people polygamy is perfectly normal).
Ok, not everybody is like that, many girls like you for what you are (specially if you are white, something like an obsession for them. You have to be careful about what you buy: they put whitening even in deodorant stick rolls!). But the girl was just a hunter, no need to feel too much for her. She probably got somebody else somewhere else.

To answer to your question, Krusten, I met my wife in Italy when us both were having holidays on the seaside, near Venezia. We visited each other for some years (very expensive relationship....) and, before getting married, we had to choose one of the two countries. That's how I ended up here.

It might be cultural but I still think it might have been with a bit of help. Anyway thank you for sharing more about you, that is a super international relationship.

Well, you are half Asian so, maybe, it doesn't surprise you learning that in some countries in this part of the world arranged marriages are still common. By the way, can I ask you from which country one of your parents come from? Just out of curiosity. No need to answer if you don't feel so.
