YumYum butter chicken Hey Rebecca, i just saw this part of your blog. I want to taste some of your butter chicken. I love the pictures especially the one where you all made a chinese pose.The dessert looks so appealing.The whole blog makes me hungry lol.You really look calm and happy in the pics. Am guessing that the gal that sat next to you in the pics is ur roomie, she doesn't look chinese.

Love from edmonton It's uplifting to read your travel log. It has been a great learning experience in Edmonton. I didn't go sight seeing at all. There're so much to immerse my mind and head to the ever evolving wold of cardiology. I guess I'm not ready to retire afterall.
I'll take the evening flight home to Toronto. And I'll assume my on-call duty again from Thursday to Monday. And the Hallowen is coming on Sat. and so is the fall back on the clock by 1 hr.
Glad that you're alive and well in China.God bless you.

Envy Im glad that you had a wonderful time. I wish I were there. I hope you find your Chinese root and identity among the ancient cities. Where are the pictures of the traditional Chinese hotel youve mentioned before?

happy belated thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!! i am happy to know you had a very delicious canadian style thanksgiving dinner!!! i figured if you were in Shanghai, you'll be eating peking ducks instead of turkey, hoisin sauce instead of gravy/cranberry sauce, minced duck lettuce wrap instead of mash potato etc! the asian style of thanksgiving! and yes, i expect pictures from your trip!
hey rebecca! i've been following your blogs :)
your mention of mooncakes remind me of an article I read a week ago about how mooncakes have been "modernized" into all these new flavours. Mmm the Haagen Dazs one looks reeally good!
oh queenie! I'm glad you like the pictures :) Yes I know the poutine in Canada is much better....Bubba's in Kingston is superb!! So maybe you should mail me some Canadian poutine and I'll mail you a Bapple donut...deal???

YOU HAVE TO COME BACK TO CANADA TO HAVE POUTINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i didn't even see any cheese on the poutine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.. thats the WHOLE point of a poutine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and your mommy looked really happy :)! how long did your mommy stay with you??!!

btw. feel free to mail over a bapple donut!:) :P
hey laibaka! glad you started this blog! haha, reading some of the stuff, I can identify. like sticking out cuz i'm wearing plains clothes. Crossing the street here is different though. I just need to walk out calmly on the street, and cars will avoid you. They won't stop, they'll just swerve around on the wide, wide roads here. and HONK at you. To let you know not to do anything sudden.
Looks sweet! Looks great Rebecca! I am so happy for you. I really like your bedroom and your couch! And it's fantastic that you're right across from work. Looks like things are really working out. Miss you! <3
wow! Wow, Rebecca, sounds like a huge change! If someone asked me to go on a date to IKEA I don't think I would believe it. Sounds like the law is loosely established there... people sleeping indoors? No right-of-way? I really learned a lot from your blog entry. Well, I hope that "interesting" is good-interesting. I am really glad your kids are cute! I miss you lots. Keep us updated. :)
