HAPPY BIRTHDAY ivy is cooking lunch and i am hungily awaiting la duzi.
nice, but i reckon we are all eager to know what the job entails!
ivy says: through your words, we can feel we have been there already. thanks for saving us the money.
Leaping Tigers, Oh My! Glad to hear you are still enjoying your trek! The new photos provide some glimpses of why you are there...beautiful. Hope you are happy with staying at the hostel for a little while and will be looking forward to the next update as always!
Much Love - Cory
Wow Whoa Toby. This is definitely a different person blogging from the one I met on the first day of DSP (and I mean that as a compliment!). I admire your new found perspective even though you had a get some 'scars' to get it. You do whatever you feel you've got to do to be happy everything will fall into place eventually.
Hug and kisses,
~Christina
don't know how to work the doo dah! Showed Grandma your exciting blog. She thinks you are a very brave girl to have an adventure in a non-English speaking country. I think you are looking like you are having a great time, and I wish to join you...
Bea says " All of your photos are very scene-er-etic."
I like your entries, but just like LJ they are mostly for you. It's something that you can look back on, and you might regret it if you miss certain wonderful / terrible things that happened. It will make you happy if in ten years you can go back and read about your time in China. I hope you are keeping a journal (or plan on making one when you get back).
Yeah! Tobes that sounds so fun! I like the "It's a hard life" picture. Now to snap a photo of the same cat actually riding the bike...
Your adventure never ceases to amaze, I love reading about your time in China!
Hope you are well, and enjoy your 'thousand knives meat'.

wonderful Hi Toby,
Michele just gave me your blog address, sort of after a wee bit of searching I found you. I am so excited for you. I have read your 3 posts and can't wait for the next. You seem to be having a good adventure so far, open and aware. I love seeing the pictures and hearing the words. You are so far, and so connected isn't that awesome? The traffic sounds really crazy I don't think (this chicken, me) would ever get across the road! Take care. Thanks again for this fabulous window on your journey.
Love,
Kim
