Itchy Feet Well, I'm ready to head off again on another adventure. It's been great to visit with my family and friends in Brisbane. And I'm ready to explore the UK and Europe this time. So, to London on March 17th (stopover in Seoul) I'll continue writing and posting my pics. I hope you continue to keep up with the 'Adventures of Lynneelou' and continue to send me your news too.

My year in China was fantastic. Mostly ups and a few downs but it would have to be the most rewarding experience so far in my life. The children were great and the chinese people wherever I went were always friendly and smiling and ready to try out what english they remember from school.

I gave a farewell party to the Chinese teachers. As usual I come up with something different, and themed it with a 'design your own hat for a prize' party. There were quizzes and games and anything that I wasn't taking with me was up for grabs as prizes. A much better way to share the spoils, I think. No favouritism!

I've enjoyed my lazy stay in Australia and spending time catching up with everyone. I certainly appreciate Australia more now than I did two years ago. There is still a lot of travel left in me, though. So this will be sayonara, zaijian, arrivaderci, ciao, goodbye, au revoir etc etc for now. I have attached random pics of my students and teachers in China before I left and some of the last weeks here in Oz.

Time to update my profile. (12/1/12) Life is one big adventure. I know someone of note has said something like this in the past. I am a convert to the Big Adventure. I have spent my first 42 years in a conventional vacuum. What I considered was a normal conventional life was sucking the life out of me. It's 4 years ago now that I decided to leave the 'norm' and I suppose now I have become a bit of an ' itinerant '. Not a label that businesses, financial institutions and Government departments have in the permanent address field on paperwork. I have explored a small percentage ... full info
