It was a strange and bizarre train journey from Shanghai to Hong Kong...one that I don't particularly care to experience again! The 27 hour train journey, (traveling 3rd class to save money) was to be a ‘quiet’ time for me and my book, perhaps update my trip diary and feed myself from my bag of groceries. Nothing says train journey like a loaf of bread, jam, instant noodles and coffee! As I... Read Full Entry

I've finally finished my big Asian trip and have about 9 blogs left to write. So far I've covered Japan, Mongolia, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, but stay tuned for Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, more Japan and London! I'm just getting settled back into life in Canada now, so wait patiently for the last few blogs. Especially Myanmar...that was quite an 'interesting' couple weeks... ... full info

There's names for girls like you!!!!
I can't believe you did that! I'm glad you were able to ditch the guy so easlily! I loved Hong Kong. One of the cool things I did was take a ferry to a small island called Chung Chao, or somehting like that. There are no cars there. I rented a windsurfer and sailed in the South China Sea. And of course the tram up Victoria Peak if you haven't done that yet. Enjoy!

Haven't you used your father for money at least once or twice in your life?

Lovely gal with lovely lencounter!
Hahaha, baby! Of course lovely gal is bound to attract unnecessary attention. Anyway, you should be proud of yourself that you're the "choosen one"! What do you think he chose you and not other "white" gilrs in the train? Did you do anything to him that aroused his "desire" to possess you? Love.

We are just almost ready to leave for the airport. Ted, Kym, Paul and I are off to the med. for a 12 day cruise and a couple of days in Barcelona. I am sure our adventures will be pretty tame compared to yours. Sounds like you are having a super adventure and wow, heart stopping experiences. Will look forward to your blogs when we return. Love, Ted and Ruth

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I can't WAIT until Jenn reads this. I know we're just so proud of you!!!! Careful though, fate is going to bite you in the ass for this one. I don't think it'll be serious though...the "beings that be" understand that a girl's just gotta use what her momma gave her sometimes. Got it? Work it. Love ya sooooooo much!!! Can't wait to have you home!!!! MUAH! B.

Another demoralized and destroyed man left behind in your wake. And you're not just domestic anymore.

Poor Krysta
Poor Krysta, since when did we develop a conscience? Kidding! Sounds like the train ride was pretty adventurous. I must say though, it's amazing how you can be half way across the world and then you see a sign that reminds you of home. That is pretty crazy that you got the business cards with your name on it from that store. And you just had to scare a few innocents to get them.

The Po Lin Monastery looks really nice. Tranquil AND vegeterian...sweet! At least I know you're not using me for my money...or if you are, you'll be disappointed! Hong Kong sounds like another great place. Another place I'd like to visit.
