WOW!!! Kudos to you, Sandra! I don't think I could do that. Cold showers? OK, fine. Bugs in the room? I can deal. No communication, reading or writing for 10 days. No thanks, I'll pass. Only 2 meals a day, for 10 days??!!! And the last meal of the day is at 10:30 am???!!!! 10:30 A.M??!!! GAAAAAHH!!! I'd probably turn to cannibalism on day 2!!! I bet monks are really tasty too, with all the Thai food they eat! Mmmmmm, thai food... Seriously though, your blogs are awesome! I recently read the one on Tibet - Wa wa wee wa! Keep it up!
emotion Your writing style is amaxing Sandra. Whenever I read it I feel like it is sometimes a mirror into my own thoughts. It is beautiful and full of emotion and romance. You should be a travel writer.
You got it Hi,
I am deeply thankful to you for putting up this Journal. What you have observed is the reality. I am very moved by your interest and consideraton for Tibet and Tibetans. If you ever happen to visit Tibet again and if there is anything i can do for you, let me Know. A Tibetan fan. phurbutseringdingri@yahoo.com.
Cambodia Hey! I haven't posted any comments so this is my first....everything seems so fun...makes me want to have my own trip around the globe......again summer is almost over...another school year...continue your fun...next destination?
Oh~ You have visited HK??? only two days??? OH!!!! It's too short!!!!!
Chilam is now in HK too!!! but she will back to Kyoto soon... If I know you came to HK, maybe we can meet in HK ar~ When did you leave HK ga?????????
Deeply Mooving The feelings inside are confusing right now. This is perhaps one of the most important topics I can talk to you about. I can only wait until I get back to Beijing. I cannot express it right now.
Profound Thoughts I'm sorry for not extracting respect for the story, but I'm moreso taking in respect for the author. Your way of thinking and way of living that I've read so far gives explination to your magnetizing aura when we first met. I'm becoming a bit envious of the life that you have lived so far.
Astonishing... Your words are wise and inspiring to me. This is only the first post I have read of your online journal, and it's filling me with much more confidence in your character. You're becoming amazing in my eyes.
HeyHey~ Thanks for all your comments. Yeah~I think it's a great idea to go camping before mom leaves Vancouver, isn't it~? Oh poor Sandra can't join you~But if you need a tent, there's no need to buy one~we have a 6 people tent stored in my wife's house~have fun and send me loads of pictures!! Miss all of ya~~~
you have a beautiful mind... Dear crow, after reading this blog on Tibet, there's a huge impulse for me to go to some place where there is no trace of a human-been...and just enjoy the nature itself in its solitude.
the first place that pop into my mind is the top of the mountains in (and beyond) north van...but! all the snow has not melted yet...even in this hot weather (ya we reached almost 30 degree C)...
well, the mountain should be cleared of snow by Augest, we will probably hike up Crown Mt. and camp at its peak, it's gonna be great...
oh ya, you are in Bejing now? how is it? Blog it blog it blog it :D
Great Writeup and Pics I am really moved by your write up on your trip to Tibet. I just came back from Tibet just 3 weeks ago and the place still holds dear to me. I was lucky enough to see the place before the Qinghai Tibet railway operated.
I really like your prose. This is what travel blogging is all about. It's nice to read such a moving article every now and then.
P/s: The picture u took with 2 girls at Namsto; i have a photo of one of them!
HeyHey~ Hey Maggie! it's great to hear from you~So how's your life since we left Japan? And A Ci? Is she going wild in Hokkaido right now? :P I'm in Beijing~Keep in touch by emails~Miss ya~
wow my god.. these pictures are beautiful!!
you better not be forgetting about us over here in Canada while you're enjoying all the amazing places. hehe
and yes, be careful of what you eat. I always get stomache everytime I go back to China.
Eva~ That's why I love ya Eva, you always have a good sense of humour that I lack of~~My hotel was sooo far away from the bund, it would take me 5 minutes to walk back and forth. So I stay there the whole day to capture the nightview~~/laugh.
Heyhey~ Froggy~My Japan trip would have been much better with your accompany. Next time next time. But I have to go back and save more money~~But right now you are having fun doing so, aren't you?:P
Thank you! Hi Grandcorp,/smile, I have to say I have been your sincere reader, your experience especially the Bhutan section gave me a great inspiration, walk on./smile.
Wow, so relaxing It seems to be a nice place for retirement. People there take afternoon naps. Sandra, you're starting to take pictures with a theme. Is the theme for these pictures Various Sleep Poses? hehe...It seems like your photographing skill has improved more. =)
bald head with "beard" on the neck -very trendy kid! You're very good in capturing the beautiful sceneries and people Sandra. Very professional. The best one is the bald head kid with "beard" on his neck, super cool. By the way, how did u get the day and night scene of the bund? Did u stand there from day til night? Hehe...even if you did, it's quite worth it cuz without the day picture, the bund wouldn't look so splendid at night. Keep up the good work Sandra as we always tell our tutees when they've done a good job. I like the pictures that you took. Can't wait to see more.
these are amazing!! hey Sandra! Just want to tell you even though I haven't replied much :p, I am reading all your entries. They're all sooo beautifully written, and the pictures are awesome! It makes me wanna go to all of them! really!! *sigh* here I am working with acids and soils 8 hours a day, I am really jealous...
keep up the updates! I love reading your entries! XD
enjoy your trip and be safe~
