| 22nd November 2009 Jodi Lynn | love the pics! - From: Summer at Home--Portland, 2009! I love all the pics thus far! I want to go get a kitty now for Conner.... :).... And I love the short hair |
| 27th April 2009 Dave G | Get over yourself Gar - From: Random Scenes from Ningbo, China! Aside from the incredible pollution and over populated cities filled with lead producing toy manufacturing companies or lead based food products, China is a really outstanding country. By the way can I park my cars in the Bird Nest? I figure it needs to be used for something now. This just in another carton of baby formula just exploded in transport from China to Europe... |
| 26th April 2009 Desi and Jill | What is going on! - From: Jill's Birthday! Jan. 2009 What are you and that other girl doing to with that poor innocent flower? |
| 20th April 2009 Desi and Jill | Sorry! - From: Random Scenes from Ningbo, China! Sorry if I have offended any readers by posting these photos. Like I have responded to this reader, we too, are (foreign) residents of Ningbo. This blog is for our families and friends to keep up with some of our adventures while we are living here. Let me add that we were enamored with this recent bike ride through a rural part of our district--and yes--surprisingly--took photos! Poverty tourism? I don't think so. In no way were we looking for it, or attempting to capture "the bad and poor side of Ningbo." Truly, it was rather tranquil and refreshing to ride through this area that is adjacent to our neighborhood. Rural areas, while they may be poor, aren't that bad. We are going to keep exploring these local, rural areas. We enjoy the serenity...and too, I know the history simply jumps out at Desi around each corner. Yes, all very intriguing, these mini-jaunts from home. Expect more photos. I will attempt the non-offensive kind. |
| 19th April 2009 Gar | dwelling on the negative - From: Random Scenes from Ningbo, China! As a longtime foreign resident of Ningbo, I must say that these photos only represent the bad, poor side of Ningbo. Sad to see poverty tourism alive and well among travelers. It's a good thing Ningbo gets very few of them. |
| 19th April 2009 Ginny | Jill and her bad-ass self - From: Random Scenes from Ningbo, China! Jill, you totally look like you're ready to go bike off and break somebody's legs in that one picture. It's hilarious. And Desi needs to raise the seat up on his bike - that can't be good for his already-wounded knees. Thanks for the pics! |
| 10th March 2009 Carlan Kephart | We are coming to teach at AIAN next year... - From: Hangzhou! Hi! I was so excited when I came across your blog because I have been dying to hear a little bit about what it is like to live in Beilun, what the apartments look like, etc. Will you be there next year as well? I will be teaching Middle School English and my husband will be teaching High School Social Studies. We are really excited, but it's daunting as well. I realize you must be very busy, but if you have a chance to respond and offer any words of advice/preparation, we would enjoy hearing from you. One question I have is, do all of the apartments in LiRen Garden have a back patio/back yard, or is it only those on the bottom floor? We have been told that is the apartment complex we'll be in. Anyway, thanks again for providing all of this great information! :) Carlan Kephart |
| 16th February 2009 kathy | In the sky - From: Welcome to China! Do you see the UFO in the sky ? |
| 13th February 2009 OrgJB | Alcatraz - From: Kuala Lumpur Yes, It is a prison.But It was close down a few years ago. You can go in if u want to. its one of tourist attraction. Execution room is haunted. |

| 30th January 2009 Kristina | how beautiful - From: Langkawi, Malaysia...Part 1 Malaysia looks absolutely beaufiful and relaxing. I remember hearing about those tiny little pedicure fish at fancy spas here in the US--seems crazy. Keep up the good work with your blog and pictures!! |
| 30th January 2009 Kristina | looks neat - From: Shanghai Holiday Week Shanghai definately looks like quite an experience. It also looks a little exhausting. I can't believe you guys went to Ikea, that story is crazyness here in the US i can only imagine in china |
| 19th December 2008 Jodi Lynn | - From: USA vs. China! That has to be so frustrating..... the looks and them refusing to let you sit down...... |

| 28th November 2008 Kuks | i'm apalled - From: USA vs. China! I feel like you should call the embassy and report the bad sportsmanship of that Chicago team. Seriously, in a way they are like ambassadors for the US and their behavior is very embarrassing. Wow, I really needed to vent about that. So are you guys tired of the photo shoots yet? |
| 24th November 2008 Ginny | Woot! - From: U.N. Day October 2008 Cowboy Desi and the Granadina! Sounds like the name of a band... |
| 11th November 2008 Dave | Cullett - From: Big Black goes to Shanghai and gets the Stink eye!!! Hey man, Great story...Do you ever just feel like running as fast as you can and go Chinese Man bowling. Act like some bees are chasing you so you don't get in trouble. |
| 10th November 2008 alan davidson | big black attack - From: Big Black goes to Shanghai and gets the Stink eye!!! Glad to see you made it there and back alive. I love the stink eye shots. How about you start wearing a suit & tie telling everyone you're Barack Obama... |
| 9th November 2008 Smelly | Wahshing machine - From: Welcome to China! Hey Dude, that looks like a pay wahshing machine in the picture. Nice cozy apartment, do you have house cleaning come in too? Not have Turkey Turkey for thanksgiving, regular old dead american bird this year. Gerry and Ms Pearl will be stopping by also. I cry myself to sleep every night, miss you Jill. |

| 14th October 2008 davidjones | holidays - From: Shanghai Holiday Week Shanghai will face a flood of migrant workers flocking back to the city to find work, mainly from Anhui, Sichuan and Hubei Provinces, railway operators said yesterday. |
| 21st September 2008 Nae | - From: One Month in China! Jill I think the mosquito bites might have to do with the quality of skin. Just kidding. It doesn't matter where you are, you always have bad luck with bugs in the classroom. |
| 18th September 2008 Kathy | first grade? - From: School Days! I thought you had kindergarten. What is the deal? |
| 15th September 2008 A-Money | Kick ass Seabass - From: Desi's first blog!! I didn't even know you had a blog until I was told it was fixed! It's great to hear about everything though. Insanely jealous is what I am, even with the cleaning apartments and people staring. If you want....take a deep breath....I'll send you some Moomoo's for everyones staring pleasure. I still can't see your pics but it might be a problem with the University computers. Once i get things set up at home, I'm sure I will and boyo will the comments fly then. Again this year I miss our football time together. Miss you tons. Love you both. Muah! |
| 15th September 2008 Nikki Perez | Miss you! - From: Food and Entertainment-Part I Hey Jill, I definitely want to see some pictures of your lil kindergarten students! Wow, I wish you were here to help with cheer, it def will not be the same without you! You will be on the squad in spirit lol.

| 15th September 2008 g love | All sizzle no grizzle - From: Desi's first blog!! Public blog? Is this mike on?I It all sounds a lot like the Rez. And I mean that in a good way...especially the part about alcohol. I was going to talk about college football...but Michigan and UCLA don't fall into that catagory anymore. Go Ducks. Saturday nights at Bitzee Mama's aren't the same without Jill and Charley Pride's cousin. Nice to hear from you. Glad you're enjoying the experience. I have a goal in life too. Never ever have a drink with any Alhambra bus driver. |
