As tempting as it is I think I better stay put for a while and sort out some form of Big Plan before I rush off to live overseas. Next year I'd say it'll be happening, but for now there's too much happening in Australia for me to leave. But I'm still coming to China! 1st-10th of July. Will you still be there?

Thanks for looking at my blog. China sounds interesting where you're at.
In 1 hour I have to put my dog, Midnite, down.
It's so hard, we've had him 14 years! I don't know that your students would understand....Midnite has always been an indoor dog even though he's a Black Lab and has weighed as much as 120 lbs. Thanks again for reading, Curiouoso*

hi! i just saw the movie The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, which came out a few months ago or so. the very last song of the movie, if you didn't already know, is that david bowie song with the lyric, "she's so swishy in her satin and tat" -- and when i heard that i KNEW i had seen it on some diaryland blog! anyway, what a great song. i guess that's all i really meant to say, ha.

ah, the dilemmas of being third culture. it becomes even more fun when you're a third culture hyphenated american. this book sounds interesting though. i definitely want to get my hands on it.
oh, also, just to introduce myself - i stumbled across your blog a while ago and have silently been reading it since. one of my best friends lives in shanghai, but he's not very good about explaining what life there is all about. have enjoyed what you've had to say. look forward to more!

bantenhut : |

no way. A "fucking bitch," with those exact words? My gosh. are you two incredibly close and she was joking, or is it serious? AND, i'm assuming that your entry called "Talkin' Bout A Revolution" is named after Tracy Chapman's song of the same title? I love that song! anyway, good luck.

I, too, have been reading for a short while -- random, small community -- it's funny, you are doing something similar to what I want to do. ESSAYS ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY. I guess there is life after you graduate and you leave the pile of books and post-it notes.
I have a friend in china right now, and she's so busy with what's she's doing, it's hard to communicate. I guess this is what I do instead. I read.
Anyway. Thanks.
Suz.

Hey... also found you though your banner, and after reading the prerequisite latest 4-5 entries, was compelled to start at the back and work my way forward. Got as far as Travel Food... and now I'm so damn hungry I've got to stop reading :) Tres cool, I love your style.

I'm so happy about my plans aswell!

Every time I read your blog I'm filled with jealousy - I admire what you're doing. I can't wait to get the hell out of Australia before I lose my mind and form a militia.

I do not want to sound redundant, so I suppose I should not claim to have clicked through on your banner. I just find your current move to Shanghai very interesting as I just got back from being in Hong Kong for six weeks, during which time I went to mainland China for parts. I was in Shanghai for the weekend...the grimy, polluted city that it is. It's not up on my itinerary page yet, but I was there. Will read more when I do not have to get up early in the morning....

So my having big feet has its advantages over there. More presents. I always wondered why people said having big feet was a good sign. Now I know. You know it is sad when people need an excuse to get drunk and stoned. I think "day of the week" is reason enough

I guess that explains it, I only went to Amsterdam on a field trip. Charming eh? Most of the European culture is like that. So you're "site seeing" or do you live in eruope?

bar work would be awesome but i live about an hour out of sydney in a pretty rough suburb, and seeing there's about two pubs here, i'd have to work in the city and the train alone home at like, 3am - bad bad news. BUT! i am qualified to work in bars, i did all the courses and that, so i'm sure it's where i'm headed once i get overseas. wheeee! only 5 months to go!!!

I’m thinking of maybe just doing temp work until the end of the year? That way I won’t get bored with the same job and stuff, could be cool. We’ll see I suppose. Dude I can’t stop thinking about the spacecake! Why don’t George Clooney and Brad Pitt wanna have spacecake with ME sheila?

hey gorgeous! marmite is the poor relation to vegemite but is fntastic on toast. is an aquired taste and something you should defintely give a go but only with a very thin application. Is a very strong flavour!!!!! have mssed your updating and is good to catch up on you again and possinbly leave the longest note in your guestbook. In fact this note is now offocially longer than half of your entries which is sort of sad in itself.
