Response to Dawn re: dragon fruit Hey Dawn, really? REALLY? I am glad. I am going to buy some when I get home! Mmmmm. Miss you and our talks. Looking forward to a reconnect. xo CH
Thanks for all the pic\'s Astro! Beautiful there.
So happy that you found some real coffee, and good food! :) Looks so peaceful at the B&B.
Missing coffee on my balcony...we got the hot weather HERE this week. 31c today! Loving it...keep sending it to me, ok!
Cheers.
What??? You voted NDP!!! Well, fyi, Steve won by a landslide, as did all the other NDP candidates in the North! And they took majority in the Province. hmmmm....
Liberals shockingly only took one seat...my riding!
So aside from voting,sounds like another great party! Food (mostly) sounds delish... You wouldn\'t believe the awesome stir fry I cooked this eve! Spectacular, esp considering I cooked it! By the time you get back to Canada I\'ll be cooking gourmet meals daily! Believe it??!! :)
Happy you continue to find time to skype your bff Debs!!! She\'s a lucky bff.... hehe.
Take Care. Keep sharing your adventures!
Response to mi amiga Dawna Hi you, we missed you greatly on the trip. Hope you are well...rumour has it you may return??? LOL Hope so, then we can repeat this with you! xoxo C
Response to Denise My friend, so glad you are along for the ride...I am heartened at your kind words...China is amazing and don't worry, keeping safe but still taking enough risks to make life worthwhile and interesting! Hope all is well at WW and in Thompson. Look forward to a coffee date when you are home. Xoxoxo C
Response to Suzanne.... Salut mon amie, we may have a new teacher with whom to share the apartment. We are already missing Dawna and she barely left 3 hourse ago. Would you like to join us here for 2 months or so? LOL xoxox
I\'m just loving your blog, Carolyn! It\'s so easy to picture life around you, you\'re so descriptive! I look forward to each new entry. Keep enjoying yourself and learning, but keep safe as well.
Responding to Doug....re: Temples Doug, while I'm here you should come for a quick visit if you can swing it. I will take you to the temples and all the cool spots I know! LOL Thanks for the comments, I enjoy them all so much.
blog Enjoying your blog immensely! The temple looks amazing. And I agree with you...there\'s something about the ocean that seems to be feeding my/our soul. I miss it.
Time In The Temples The temples look beautiful. I would love to spend a day or two hanging out at a temple like that and watch the routine of what goes on! Keep the pictures coming!
I just found your blog today, so read the whole thing at once. Sounds like you\'re having an interesting time, but I think it would be very hard to adjust to the cultural differences - and the heat and cockroaches. I had some experience with Turkish toilets in France, so I can sympathize with your feelings about that kind of thing. Reading your blog gives me a taste of what it must be like over there, but I don\'t think I would ever be able to do something like that myself. Good luck with the rest of your adventure!
Response to Suzanne's comment.... Hi Suz, oui on enseigne, mais pas beacoup! We teach during the weekends, and then we teach 2 evenings. We do enjoy 3 full days off/week and the days we work evenings are free, too. It\'s a nice gig, but doesn\'t pay well, but I would recommend it for the experience to anyone! Love ya, miss ya. xoxo CH
In response to Jeannine... Hi Jeannine, lol, I was thinking of you and your Newton, KS, masseuse the whole time I was being massaged, and YES, I wholeheartedly understand why you'd like that! I am having some trouble sending you email at your new account...I keep getting error messages that the messages are not getting delivered....are you, in fact, getting them? Safe travels to you and Paul....xoxox CH
Now you know why Paul & I always stop at Newton Kansas to see our little chinese masseuses. Incredible, aren\'t they? We left Vancouver yesterday and are heading out to la belle province. I must get skype in this computer. Miss chatting with you.
Hey Carolyn! Just caught up on about 2 weeks worth of your blog. What an experience you are having!! My skin is crawling with your description of bacteria and cock roaches and I love how honest you are. I don\'t think I\'d ever admit that I peed on myself! LMAO!! Can\'t wait to read more. Miss you, my friend!
