So I am writing this email from my bedroom. That’s not hugely unusual. What is unusual is that my computer got to my bedroom through the balcony window. Odd, I grant you. The computer came through the window because my flatmate passed it to me through the living room window, over the 7 storey gap,…
Hi everyone! If you’re not planning to read this, you might want to skip to the last paragraph for some biggish news. (If you’re new to my odd little updates, what with having moved half way across the world to a city so transient that half my friends leave every year, I find it hard…
Hello from Beijing, everyone! So, before I forget, a note about my updates. This goes to over 200 people now, and I don’t expect that you all actually read them all! I know I write copious amounts, and I doubt you all have time to read them all! There is a catch, however – no…
Hi everyone! I am at Sydney airport right now, about to head off to gate 53 where I’ll be boarding a flight to Bangkok in about an hour. I leave Bangkok at 12:30am local time so by this time tomorrow I’ll be back at my place in BJ!!! YAY!!!! I’m excited :) This trip to Australia has been… odd… as every trip “home”…
Well, Natasha is now 21. The parties, muchly enjoyed, are over, and my time in Australia is drawing to a close. My grandparents will be in town for a few days, then I’ll be staying around in Canberra til Sunday (going to a dress up ball on Saturday night). I’ll be crashing at a friend’s…
I got to my guest house at nearly midnight on Tuesday the 26th, spent the next day wandering around the Khao San area, and up to the Chao Phraya river, stopping to eat in little places, taking random photos, and reading my book by the river (getting an almost sunburn that looked painful even though it…
Hi everyone! Well, I made it back to Australia! I got in to Sydney lunchtime Tuesday and to Canberra the next evening. Last night I slept in my old room in my old bed. Mum made the bed up with a blanket and two doonas and I thought I was going to be too hot but…
So I made it to Bangkok without a hitch. Well, sort of. I made it without a hitch my second try… I managed to get mixed up and thought my flight was 9pm Monday night when it was actually 9am Monday morning! Oops! Made a few calls and my travel agent got me on a…
Hi again, I’ve been doing good with the updates this month, huh? This is three in a month! Go me! Then again, I also do not have a job, youth ministry is winding down for the year, and there have been lots of end-of-year events to take cool pictures at, so that explains it. So!…
Hi everyone! Well, here is the update email I have promised a bunch of you! Complete with photos and stories from the last two weeks. Well, not so much this week as the busy week that preceded it. So let us go back to Friday, May 25 th… In the afternoon I went to the graduation…
Hi everyone, Sorry I’ve been so hard to get a hold of lately! I don’t have a working computer or internet access at home, and being unemployed these days I also do not have an office computer to get online at. The only times I check email now is when I’m at the church office…
So the youth camps are over!! They went really well. Administration wise it was reasonably smooth, which was of course quite exciting for me. High School camp (grade 9-12) was April 13-15 and we had about 160 people. It was the least stressed I’ve ever been at any event I’ve helped organise. The next weekend (April…
