You decided to open a chain of Chicken Skewer Thing restaurants? Two taxis diverged in Vietnam, and I, I took the one less correct. And that has made all the difference.
You spent the rest of the trip in a bubble to avoid the flesh eating bacteria? Man, I can't believe you went to the puppet water theater! Do you have any idea how many puppets drown each year in servitude of that horribly exploitative "theater"? Astounding!
You discovered Angelina was collecting and training the kids for secret kung-fu death matches? Boat, scooter, train... You should star in a movie with John Candy and Steve Martin.
You planned to bottle water fromt he Purfume River and sell it to tourists? What they neglected to tell you is that the home made bottle opener is also a key to the Forbidden City.
Yellow Hat The Yellow Hat:
Was not worn during Hitler's time, but during the Medieval Period. The yellow star, the fabric, was made to be worn during Hitler's time.
:) Hi Ann! Yeah, the getting back to life part should be interesting- and that starts in 48 hours! I'm in Beijing now and fly out tomorrow at Noon (which is about 24 hours from now). Memphis is definitely on the list- it would be great to meet more family. After I catch up on sleep/get settled I'll be able to figure out the next step/where I'll be settling. Then I'll start planning the next vacation i'm sure :) If you guys are ever in the Rochester area, let me know! Here's hoping I get some more blogs out before the long flights begin- glad you've enjoyed the adventures!
Trip How do you enter "real life" after this fabulous adventure? I'm going to miss my nearly daily dose of fun ala Amanda! Where's the next trip? Memphis is open to you any time! Look at all the family here!
World Expo When I had heard that you were going to be in Shanghai during the Expo I was so excited for you. I didn't know that you didn't know or I would have mentioned it to you.
:) Not sure if my stomach "likes" the food but at least everyone else is running to the bathroom too, so misery loves company :) And yes, VERY different than Rainbow- I miss Sesame Chicken though! xo.
I am experiencing "Fernweh" which loosely means "an ache to travel."
I'll be traveling from November 27th, 2009 - mid May 2010.
My route, via Google map.

You fell down an elevator shaft and landed in a dunk tank
The Sweet and Sour Chicken must've been made out of Water Buffalo. Spicy water buffalo.
