| 5th February 2009 katetheyak | ponchos and cliff edges - From: MOT HAI BA YO....on the central coast 08/09 ah yes i remember creepy italien man who felt your thigh.must ask my housemate why italian's are creepy...they do have tight pants tho...anyway that poncho is essential equipment in the tropics darling!!i may look idiotic but couldn't you leave out the american bit?! |
| 5th February 2009 katetheyak | yen is awesome!! - From: getting happily sidetracked during Tet Nguyen Dan yes i know three blogs is luxurious for you but it was Tet and everywhere was shut so i went slightly mad etc...i fear i'm after spoiling you!august is too late dude - i'm finito in july and i'll be here till the end of the month travelling s.e. asia maybe with tanya and sue?!i'll keep you updated! |
| 4th February 2009 Keira | - From: getting happily sidetracked during Tet Nguyen Dan I decided to avoid your blog and low and behold I was greeted with 3 posts! I was so excited! I really like the sound of Yen, maybe you oculd write her biography for her? huh huh huh. I have seen those ants, they are everywhere, you really have to be clean with your crumbs kate! I have also experienced teh joy of paying 1euro for a bag of groceries, that is the life. Saving to head over in August. :):):) |
| 29th January 2009 random blog reader | great blog, Kate - From: MOT HAI BA YO....on the central coast 08/09 Just want you to know your blog is not going to waste. You have seen more of Vietnam that I ever have. Do you notice the dialect change when you are in central vn ? Even though they use the mostly same words, their accents are freaky. I tell you listening to the English makes more senses than the central viet. I am glad you have a nice Irish singing tone. I am holding all Irish women to that high standard of a voice from a woman I never met. So please don't embarrass your stereotype and shatter my fantasy. |
| 29th January 2009 Jillery | ponchos and scary roads - From: MOT HAI BA YO....on the central coast 08/09 am absolutely disgusted that you finally gave in and went for the yank look of the full body poncho! also your travels brings back the memories of the roads/on the edges of cliffs that took us to Croatia, and also on the train the time that the really creepy man was rubbing his legs up against us and pretending it was accidental! letter on the way to you btw |
| 29th January 2009 katetheyak | nice to know someone is reading my ramblings - From: getting happily sidetracked during Tet Nguyen Dan hi random blog reader, you are right English has many idiotic rules that add little value to the language as a whole, serving only to make the learning process for non-native speakers that much more challenging. however, all languages have their own difficulties - i'm learning basic Vietnamese and although i can understand some of it, when i say anything i generally have to say it in six different tones. it helps that i'm an irish women though as i do singing tone very well! oh and we havn't put up with the English for a very long time now...not since 1921 or something ;) we laugh at them and their silly logic still |
| 28th January 2009 random blog reader | Hi Kate, it's your random blog reader again. - From: getting happily sidetracked during Tet Nguyen Dan It is quite understandable that Yen mixed up her tenses. Don't know if you are aware that vietnamese does not have verb tense conjugate and plural or singular. Even after learning English for 30 years, I still having trouble with them. I am telling you the English are crazy, they have so many rules. Don't know how you Irish put up with them. Just kidding. In real life, I never met an Irish woman though I had a opportunity to talk to one customer representative in Ireland somewhere. She had a beautiful voice, she talked like she was singing. |
| 28th January 2009 katetheyak | cheers and cam on - From: What is normal anyway? Fields of Athenry, motorbikes and Tet... hi 'random blog reader', thanks for the name of the game...and i thought i was spot on with my rice shaking theory...by the way, not all Irish women have the gift of talking like me - only the ones with the rare leprechaun blood and family history of madness. |
| 26th January 2009 random blog reader | dice game - From: What is normal anyway? Fields of Athenry, motorbikes and Tet... Hi Kate, the game that the guy was playing is called Ba^u` cua ca' cop, roughly translated squash, crab, fish and tiger although the tiger is not actually on the board. It is a dice game but instead with normal western dices it has the pictures of those animals. It is a type of gambling normally play during lunar new year. You place a bet on one of those animal, if the dice roll that you win, if you have 2 dices or 3 dices with same animal you double or tripping your winning. Don't lose your shirt over it. I love the way Irish women talk. |
| 3rd January 2009 Jillery | - From: 'tis the season to be commie chuc mung nam moi kate! as always your blog is highly entertaining! I'm just back from new year in barcelona, always a bit wird celebrating in another country, hows your travelling going |

| 28th December 2008 The Lord | Tis Bin Laden - From: 'tis the season to be commie Now everything becomes clear as to why you went so far away. You say your farther is not Bin Laden.

| 4th November 2008 Tim Isherwood | Out of Jail card - From: hcmc week 1 I did not know that the police (Garda) took a picture of you in jail (Pic 10372 week one). You must be so greatfull that I was able to use my Special powers at the british Emb to get you out. No need to thank me. I got an SAS friend "Bob Jackson" to get you out. Strange thing is that I also had to use him to get your dad out of trouble on the canal holiday we had in the mainland when he tried to eat another mans ostridge pie, and this after he had had a toad in a hole!!! problem is he had been drinking Donkey Seamen. This is the reason you did not here much from your dad of late. I was made captain (right decision) and I made him the lock man (wrong decision). He was very good at this, which he proved by getting locked at every oppertunity. Once he even got tottally locked, and then got locked out of the "Ship" |
| 4th November 2008 Timmy Trouble | As far as possiable - From: hcmc week 1 To think that one so young and good looking had to go so far to get away from from the people of little old Kilnagleary Carrigaline in a small corner of the U.K. known to the locals as ER'A, is hard to comprehend. She left me her adopted god farther (another story) to look after her parents, pets, and her car the Golf (old bangger). I know that people say the sun never sets on the old empire. But if it did it mould most likley be where Kate is now. We tried to Track-her (woof woof) but the dam dog got lost before it got to end of her drive!!!!! Kate we miss you loads, lots of love your AGF and his crew. P.S. the police where up and I told them you where in Alaska: Like I will "Al-Ask-Her" when I see her. P.P.S. where did you leave my Christmas presents????? P.P.P.S i do hope your ok for money (for your sake) |
