| 9th September 2009 Kate | Well Done - From: Sharp Shooter: Sarawak Cultural Village I loved it Elizebeth. You were very brave up there with the Penan man. Well done to both of you on the writeup. |
| 2nd September 2009 SANDY | GREAT CAPTURE OF THE EVENT! - From: My First Chinese Wedding I'm an american who works with chinese and have been invited to a chinese wedding. Thanks for capturing your experience. It is a good insight as to what to expect at the wedding. Your pictures depict you and your girlfriends in nicely colored dresses. The other dresses worn by the other chinese guests appear too plain, which i will now try to avoid. I'll try to wear red or gold! More importantly, now i know what to give as an appropriate gift $$! |
| 29th May 2009 Lianne Ritchie | my fave place! - From: Cameron Highlands: In Search of the Elusive and Rancid Rafflesia Hi Ms Christie! Remember me? Cameron Highlands is one of my FAVOURITE places in Malaysia! Used to go there with my parents all the time; not into the jungle of course! Was the waterfall Lata Kinjang? Anyway, I'm glad you had a great time. Pictures look beautiful. Lianne |
| 26th May 2009 Kay Curtis | - From: Cameron Highlands: In Search of the Elusive and Rancid Rafflesia Hey guys, Glad to see you are still having a great time. Pictures are beautiful and, of course, as always.... enlightening. Won't be long now you will be back. hard to believe you have been away for 2 years. We are well and enjoying the Spring. Take care Kay |
| 25th May 2009 Brandy | - From: Cameron Highlands: In Search of the Elusive and Rancid Rafflesia Hi Guys, Looks like a lovely long weekend - too bad you couldn't have come to Canada to cool off - we saw 6 inches of snow in Fort St John during our May long weekend! Love the photos Beth - esp. the night time ones in the Mossy Forest - the beetle shot is awesome! |
| 28th April 2009 Beth and Craig | my camera - From: Malaysian Adventures: Getting Caught Up on My Blogs Actually, last year I bought a digital SLR, a Nikon DX 40, and I am slowly getting around to figuring out its capabilities. I am pretty good at the really upclose shots, but still working on movement shots. |
| 28th April 2009 Brandy | - From: Malaysian Adventures: Getting Caught Up on My Blogs Beth, your close-up photos of plants and animals and insects are amazing! Is that just a point and shoot camera? Well done!!! And of course, love Craig's snail saving uniform - super cool!!! |
| 17th April 2009 Lake | how are you? - From: How Long in Halong? Hi, How are you? Very nice a trip and have a fun. Lake |
| 6th April 2009 Barb G. | Latest news - - From: How Long in Halong? Greetings you two - Lovely to hear from you again. I feared I had been missing missives, but guess not. This one just as good and interesting as ever. Hope to finally say "how do you do" in person when you come back. Have really savoured these blogs. Spring has just about arrived in the east. Cuzin B. |
| 6th April 2009 Brandy & Bruce | Happy Belated 2009! - From: How Long in Halong? You guys look wonderful in your tailored New Year's Eve garb - love the colours! |

| 5th January 2009 Sarah | whitehead1066@yahoo.ca - From: White Christmas in Sapa Those textiles are absolutely amazing! |
| 5th January 2009 Brandy | - From: White Christmas in Sapa Ah yes, the age-old confusion about us 30-something white women with no babies ... as Mr. Brandy & Mrs. Bruce we were asked this often in Ghana too! That does indeed sound like a glorious Christmas! I love learning about other holiday traditions. It sounds so warm and cozy and welcoming. And belated Happy Birthday to both of you! Hope you got a tasty cake too Beth ; ) Happy 2009! Brandy |
| 4th January 2009 Kay Curtis | - From: White Christmas in Sapa Hi there, Love the way you read the weather. Interesting Christmas but what an experience. It was cold here and we were blessed with a pile of snow. Too cold to suit me. Glad you are having grand time. Sure miss you here. Just had a new granddaughter Dec31. Emilia Rose. Take care. keep the stories coming. kay & john |
| 3rd January 2009 Barb Grisdale | Your Christmas - - From: White Christmas in Sapa What a neat spot and what a rich Christmas. Thanks for passing it along. As we are now into the new year, let me wish you more neat adventures and safe journeys and a return trip home someday soon to meet cousins who would like to shake your hand and say thanks in person. Winter here. Ten below (I am an hour or so away from Max). Not much snow. Pretty boring. All the best from here to there - Barb |
| 21st December 2008 Rosemary | Oh brother... - From: Shave and a Haircut, 2 Bits! "Sleeper Bus - fun for the first 15 minutes." I couldn't have said it any better. Those things were a trip in themselves! And not to a place that I want to return........oh brother. MySon looks beautiful! Too bad we missed out on that one during our trip. Ah well, you know what that means............we gotta head east again soon! hehehe.... |
| 21st December 2008 Kay Curtis | - From: Shave and a Haircut, 2 Bits! My.... what adventures. It was great to hear more of your travels. Your descriptions make us feel we are right there with you. Glad you are keeping well and still having a great time. It is hard to believe you have been away for a year and a half. We are patiently waiting for grandbaby #3 so it will be a joyous holiday for us. Take care. keep having fun and adventure. keep in touch Kay & John |
| 18th December 2008 Sinikka and Joe | Hello! - From: Weasel Coffee and Water Puppets: Hanoi Hello, you two! We have been enjoying your blogs...thanks! YOU have been enjoying yourselves! I'd like to try that weasel coffee, since I love coffee, but I think I'd rather not know how it came about until after I enjoyed it! We did a 10-week road trip of Canada this summer...fabulous! We went way up North to Inuvik and Tuktuyuktuk. We really enjoyed the Alaska Hwy. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and all the Best in 2009!!! |
| 16th December 2008 Matthew | Merry Christmas - From: Weasel Coffee and Water Puppets: Hanoi Merry Christmas you two, looks like you got an early start, hope you have a great time, keep us up to date. |
| 16th December 2008 Brandy | Happy Travels! - From: Weasel Coffee and Water Puppets: Hanoi Well this sounds like the life! ; ) The weasel coffee doesn't sound so appealing to me as a non-coffee drinker but it sure looks like Craig enjoyed it! Enjoy the sights and sounds and most importantly, tastes of Vietnam - can't wait to hear about the next adventure! |
| 16th December 2008 Brandy | - From: Back from Bangkok and TukTucked Out. Love the tuk tuk (esp. the night ones) and buddha shots - great photos! |
| 16th December 2008 Brandy | - From: Bangalore and Mysore India looks amazing! And I think you're right, I know several people who would suggest spending a great deal of time there. The cities of the world are always so enthralling and sometimes over stimulating; for this reason, I love the countryside. |
| 16th December 2008 Rosemary | Nice! - From: Weasel Coffee and Water Puppets: Hanoi Wow! This brings back memories!! The food is good, eh? Well, I thought it was (Rafa might disagree with you...hehehehe) At our hostels we always had a fresh bagette each morning with eggs and tea. Never did try any of that interesting coffee though.........damn, I missed out! Great to read and see about your travels online. I've been back in Peterborough for about three weeks now. I'll be heading back to Spain on December 26th. |
| 9th October 2008 Tanna | Oh....the adventures! - From: Bangalore and Mysore You guys are amazing....but then we always knew that! I am so thankful that your driver returned your passport! It is a sick feeling when you think you've lost it (speaking from experience).....Given what you have to go through on Canadian soil to get it back or to reapply, it's so fortunate as an ex-pat that someone "paid it forward". As always, I find myself holding my breath as I read your adventures, and then "chuckling along". I'm with you -- the basket boats are scary-looking! Looking forward to the next installment as always. Hugs to Craig, too--take care! |
| 8th October 2008 Barb G. | India through a keyhole - - From: Bangalore and Mysore What an amazing country, India! Thank you for your superb pictures of all sorts of things. I wonder if you found the country overpowering--it does not really sound like it. I fear I would. So many people, so much poverty, so much life. Thanks for a peek; it whets my appetite for a closer look some day. Looking forward to the next installment of your adventures - Barb |
| 12th September 2008 Chris Oquist | - From: Zhangjiajie at last Great post. I spent two weeks in China last month, including a few days in Zhangjiajie and Wulingyuan, and your post was a great reminder of how incredible it is. Definitely agree with this: "You feel exhausted and hot climbing up and down the mountain, when a little old lady in polyester pants, a formal jacket and high heel shoes passes you." We had that experience over and over again.. Sorry you had bad luck with a cab from the airport. We hopped in one of the shuttle buses to Zhangjiajie City hotels and once there, found a CITS and were able to negotiate a van to the village for about 100RNB. Tough finding a hostel there that took foreigners though. I did a small write up of our trip to Zhangjiajie on my photo blog - www.aperculture.com, would love to hear what you think. |
| 1st September 2008 Kay Curtis | - From: Back from Bangkok and TukTucked Out. Absolutely amazing pics. Love to go there as well as thailand. If our daughter ever goes for any length of time as her hubby works there several times a year I hope to go. Take care Kay |
| 1st September 2008 Kay Curtis | - From: Kanchanaburi: Tigers and Elephants and Trains - Oh My! Oh My is right. The scenery is beautiful. The animals I am not sure about. ha ha I like the bravery Craig as you sit with the tiger. Take care Kay |
| 29th August 2008 Brandy | - From: Kanchanaburi: Tigers and Elephants and Trains - Oh My! You guys look amazing! Those tigers are so cute! |
| 29th August 2008 Rosemary | My favourite picture - From: Kanchanaburi: Tigers and Elephants and Trains - Oh My! My favourite pic is the one with Craig and the lions......the lions looking like they are going to eat each other's faces off and Craig kneeling down with a calm, cool, and collect composition. Awesome! |
| 22nd August 2008 Cousin Barb | Glad to find you again - - From: Pulau Ketam and around Kuala Lumpur Welcome to your new home, which sounds like it will offer a new and quite different set of adventures from that of China. I lost you for a bit, but am pleased to have found you and to learn about a part of the world that looks quite lovely and is unfamiliar to me. Happy days - Barb |
| 19th August 2008 Rosemary | durian, durian... - From: Pulau Ketam and around Kuala Lumpur Oh the durian.............my least favourite memory from China. hehehe.... Your pictures are AMAZING! So beautiful and diverse - it really gives us a feel of your new experience in and around KL. It looks like you two are having fun (as you always do!) and blending in with your new surroundings. Thanks for the update guys! |
| 19th August 2008 Samoa Mithaq | Durian - From: Pulau Ketam and around Kuala Lumpur FYI - Durian is my absolute favourite fruit... I go crazy when I smell it because I just want to eat it all!! It is an acquired taste though... I must admit... But YUM!! |
| 4th August 2008 Jack | see you again - From: Subang Jaya: Here we go again! The place you live is very nice.and from your writing i know lots of interesting things.I'm very happy to hear news from you and Craig. Have a good starting! |
| 28th July 2008 Dan-n-Joy | Enjoy yourselves - From: Subang Jaya: Here we go again! Great to hear that you are doing well. It is a beautiful country with lots to see. Remember to make plans to enjoy the cheap airfare to other exotic places nearby like Bali! We too are enjoying beautiful blue skies. |
| 25th July 2008 almasy | hey - From: Subang Jaya: Here we go again! nice to read good things about your own country once a while... the blue mosque is actually the State Mosque... its in Shah Alam almost adjacent to Subang Jaya |
| 25th July 2008 James | Sounds wonderful! - From: Subang Jaya: Here we go again! Wow, it sounds and looks like paradise. Your pictures are making me want to go, if for no other reason than pure, unadulterated blue skies. I'ts the only thing that kinda depresses me about going back to China. I love your optimism. Things will work out in the end, but some people never figure that out and it stresses them to no end. Keep up the Chinese lessons; sounds like they'll come in handy there. Take care |
| 21st July 2008 andrew | THANK YOU - From: Zhangjiajie at last Hi, Thanks for the lovelly pics. Certainly gives me some idea of what to expect. I plan to visit sometime end Oct 2008, can you make any recommendations of which places to visit? Do you recommend I bring alongwarm clothing? Andrew |

| 5th June 2008 Peter | Pontoon Boat??? - From: The Great Wall of China - Now I'm allowed to leave... Hey...looks like a great place to spend a day on the boat having a few 'pops'. I wonder how much it would cost to get the 'Divot Too' their? (-: See you soon...Peter |
| 5th June 2008 Rick Flanagan | World Travel - From: The Great Wall of China - Now I'm allowed to leave... All you world travelers, so adventurous. I envy you. Craig, I just heard that Clyde Foresberg has accepted a teaching post in Taiwan and will be leaving Turkey. I'm not sure I could do it. Even though I've been to 8 or 9 countries, it's always been limited to a few weeks. Not like you guys, going off for ever and ever. Keep having fun! RF |
