YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG: Good thing I have no plans to travel in China!!!!
Stay safe and enjoy Thailand - - I imagine the food will be amazing and make up for any car drama; that is if you can get safely to the food! LOL! Have fun darlin'
SO funny You have to know it to truly believe it! It's so different as to almost be unreal. Your descriptions is so funny and accurate, though. The best.

PS: Glad you recovered from that awful illness you had.
Very Interesting!!! We are it seems what we believe!!!! And aren't you the clever one not fear being ill in a place where language and customs are so very different than our own [not that we know so very much after all!] So very glad to hear you have your appetite back and that you are well enough to cook for yourself!!! Brilliant Girl!!!! There's a new man in my Life:
his name is Noah --- born 11/5 to Melanie and her husband Jason. [Mel is Aliya's older sister - likely you do not remember her if you ever did get to meet her.] Yeah everybody!!!!!!
Love ya girl. Auntie Lyn~
Your back! Stay away from octopuses. They can really suck your blood, as I can see from your back. No more deep sea diving for you without a wet suit. (only kidding). Sending lots of love and many big hugs. Papa Bear
Great photos Ahhh, great photos. They make me realize I miss China. What a great place Yunnan. Nice views of the lakes and the mountains. I think that area has the best food too. Do the restaurants still lay out there fresh vegetables in the fronts of the stores so you can pick which ones you want to eat? Nice pics.
Missing Milk.... Joni I had NO IDEA you "liked" milk! Or that you would even drink it! It strikes me as odd and funny :)
Glad you are having such a rich experience!!!!
Love Auntie Lyn~
Saw your folks a couple of weekends ago, and they both look GREAT!
Wow! Those are some incredible photos of dogs being sold as meat. How shocking. I always thought that torture caused the adrenalin to flow which toughened up the meat. Perhaps just the opposite, but how cruel to treat an animal that way. Otherwise, looks like a fun country to visit. Love you. Papa Bear
Great to Hear From You Joni! Your travel and notes are so great. I love to see you on your journey. Wow, you are an inspiration girl.
Love ya, Joni

Buncha what? Buncha what?? buncha quat. It's like getting a buncha squat only worse.
Like, this comment I'm leaving is a buncha quat. The fact that I really really wanna taste those yummy spring rolls makes me wanna call you a buncha quat for teasing me!!
you say buncha
i say quat
ready?
buncha
quat
buncha
quat
that's all i got. a buncha quat.
Why do I need a title? Uhhh, isn't real bird's nest soup super duper expensive? I thought it was an extreme delicacy? Goat is good, it just has to be cooked right. It cain't be no aluminum (or is it aluminium now that you're hanging out with Europeans) eating, trash heap consuming, city dwelling goat. As for those kinds...you only take their milk. As to your particular tastes--bird's nest soup but no silk worms? Where is this line being drawn? Also, can you define some of your activities? i.e. does deep water soloing always involve deep gashes to the palms of one's hands, or might this activity be accomplished without pain?
Keeping the groove alive, I intend to use this as my travel blog so that you can vicariously join me on my adventures around the world. It starts in Thailand, and will never end. So far: Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Next Stop: who knows? stay tuned.
