| 28th June 2008 rachelle pierre - lott | I love everything about it! - From: A year in the writing You are such a great writer! Very deep points. Very deep. Thanks for including us in your blog:) |
| 6th July 2007 Aimee | - From: Through the eyes of a visitor Yes! Sarah made the blog! :) Lucy and I were out walking around St. Louis when the two of your were traversing through China and we commented on how adventurous you two are. Mandy, Lucy said you should become the writer/editor of a travel guide and I agree. You've had a good start with this blog! Can't wait 'til 18 months are up! |
| 2nd July 2007 amandainshenzhen | - From: Through the eyes of a visitor The pictures are wonderful and most of the time a smile is on your face. I hope that you always remember China with a smile. I believe Amanda has more adventures in her and if you are not careful...you may be invited on her next journey. It is funny how nothing is ever what is seems and is never exactly the same each time we remember it either. You are a brave soul to pick China as your first venture out of the USA. Mrs. Ahrens |
| 29th June 2007 Cindy A | - From: I'm leaving on a jet plane Good to have her back. Sarah, love your hair cut. |

| 26th May 2007 Aunt Diana | WOW!! - From: 24 hours of rain and Macau Hey Mandi, That was a very fast year and now you'll be on to your next adventure before you know it. Can't let that moss grow! Michele's Aaron graduated from High School Wed, 5-23-07. Now that ought to make you feel old! I know I sure do!!! Lots of Love, Aunt Diana |
| 16th May 2007 Cindy A | - From: What I will miss (in pictures) It sounds like you are already gone. As excited as I am to have you back, it made me sad to think it is almost all over. |
| 9th May 2007 Mom | - From: Dali, Bali with out beaches, motobikes, and mary Reading your blog is watching the travel channel. Great job. |
| 3rd May 2007 KLSLEx | i'm baaack - From: The art of survival Mandy_ finally able to take a break from work work work at my new job to catch up on your blog. Can't believe I won't be able to visit you before you leave. Hate how the timing did not work out. for the whole year. . . but I really do need to brush up on my Chinese anyway, which let's be honest, could take years in itself :) |
| 27th April 2007 JC | Agree! - From: You get what you pay for Chinese local tours are really shitty... u are better off planning this on your own. What is the point of going to Hainan, a beach resort and not be on the beach? |
| 24th April 2007 Anthonia | ooooooh! - From: I made him cry!!! Oh wow Ms. Ahrens! I feel so sad knowing you were hurt, but I guess all is well now. I think the teachers possess such characteristics because of their culture. They are able to reach out to the students in a way foreigners can't (I should know that!) |
| 18th April 2007 Mom | - From: The penis and the mountain What can I say...these are things I never taught you....funny, funny, funny |

| 18th April 2007 milissa | - From: In the inbetween it's funny, because i feel like i know what you would tell me if i were in your shoes "there is no wrong choice" sound familiar? and you know that countdown isn't just for your mom! |

| 14th February 2007 Linda B | Happy Valentines Day - From: Chapter 1: Cambodia, A review You probably won't get the greeting on time, but I was reading your blog today and wanted to sent a Valentine Greeting. The pictures are great! You mentioned the 200 mosquitos, well they would die here in Ohio! We are having a blizzard that has lasted for days. Temperature is in the teens. So, enjoy the beautiful scenery (and it does look beautiful) and hopefully the mosquitos will find something else sweet to nibble on. |
| 12th February 2007 Aunt Diana | - From: An Uneasy Ride It is hard to fathom that Miss Marathon runner is out of shape. Touring is hard work. Love ya |
| 12th February 2007 Cindy A | - From: An Uneasy Ride Hope you have recovered. The one and only picture is beautiful. I would not have thought that I would see pine trees in Vietnam. |
| 7th February 2007 Dad | - From: Mekong in the Morning When you take your history class back, you'll know which bus to take. |
| 6th February 2007 Linda | - From: Mekong in the Morning Wow...I don't know how you do it! I'm amazed that you stayed so calm. One experience that I can compare it to was on our honeymoon in Acapulco. The taxi driver ripped us off and so did allot of young men that tried to charge us for parking our jeep on the side of the road. That was the last time we went out on our own. After that, we did allot of group activities that the hotel sponsored. Well, I'm taking Vietnam off my places to visit ( Of course, it was never on my list :) ) |
| 5th February 2007 Mom | - From: Mekong in the Morning Look at it this way, they didn't use "the infamous wooden spoon" and things can only get better! Love ya! |

| 18th January 2007 Mom | pictures - From: Found in Cambodia Glad to see the pictures. The children all have a smile on their face....who could ask for more?! Maybe the know how famous you are?! And if you want to be adopted, you will have to do better than the phantom "wooden spoon". |
| 2nd January 2007 Kara | aww shit - From: Shengri Kuai Le - 生日快乐 I missed your birthday. so sorry!!!! there's really no good reason. But I really hope I didn't email you though on your birthday without wishing you happy birthday because I've done that before. to someone else. and they weren't very pleased. Happy New Year by now though. (which I used to know how to say in Chinese, but since I'm not taking class anymore, I forgot). |
