| 27th November 2008 Pat | Gifts - From: Hmong basi It was a wonderful gift indeed, Deb, and a further gift to us to hear about this so foreign and fascinating culture from you. (And to admire your courage in even being prepared to consume chicken blood!) Pat |
| 7th November 2008 Mutti | dancing in the grass - From: I fly home in a month!!! yes, I know...scary, eh? and on the tape, which is of horrid quality, in the upper British accents, it's Maartin and Maaargaret... |
| 5th November 2008 melissa | - From: I fly home in a month!!! Martin and Margaret are dancing on the grass? Someone wrote that text for English-language learners?! |
| 28th October 2008 Mutti | my thanks - From: The Week in Review your comments are very kind, Pat. thank you. |
| 26th October 2008 Pat | Great connection - From: The Week in Review Debbie, you're doing such a great job being our eyes and ears as an engaged correspondent in a really different environment. I'm full of appreciation and admiration. Thank you! I understand that rather than meeting sudden stress with "Fight or Flight" response as most men do, women seem to react by "Tending and Befriending". You are surely doing a lot of tending. You have made good friends, as well as family, back home, and they will emerge in Laos, too. |
| 20th October 2008 Mutti | - From: Living Space and Food nope, not THAT desperate yet!!! have not seen that particular product, but then again, it has not been on my shopping list. think I will stick to cookies from Joma-ginger snaps and oatmeal chocolate chip are both excellent. |
| 19th October 2008 Anna Lenk | Chocolate - From: Living Space and Food Surely they have that old standby, chocolate sweetened condensed milk (OK, you're probably not that desperate) |
| 15th October 2008 Mutti | - From: News from Luang Prabang Luang Prabang is in Laos, which borders Thailand, Cambodia, China, Burma and Vietnam. Luang Prabang is the ancient, religious capital of the country-Vientaine is the "official" capital. The country is properly called DPR Laos,which stands for Democratic Peoples Republic of Laos-in other words, it is a communist country-of some sort. |
| 13th October 2008 Anne Delfeld | Good for you - From: News from Luang Prabang Just where is Luang Prabang? I was at a meeting in Cheng Mai a couple of years ago, staying in a b&b - we didn't have to walk through anyone's kitchen, it was sort of hotel-ish, $12 a night, air conditioned - it was set at 85 degrees, which I promptly turned down to 65 - with a lovely lady across the court who did my laundry. Mangosteens are out of season now, but we feasted on them in June, I recommend them highly if you have a chance. By the way, 'dragon fruits' are from a cactus, the plants were imported from Mexico and are thriving there. Have lots of fun, the people are so nice! Anne Delfeld (sister of Pat Webb) |
| 13th October 2008 Melissa | Oh dear! - From: Learning A Lesson too bad about the calculator--and about the cafe, really! But like you say, better that than your wallet! |
