East West and Upside Down: Blast from the Past
http://jeaneb.blogspot.com/2011/06/blast-from-past.html
East West and Upside Down. Sharing selected stories from my life in Asia. Sunday, June 12, 2011. Blast from the Past. This old trunk is a particular favourite of mine. It belonged to my father, so far back in time it was from his Merchant Marine days pre- and during the second World War when he sailed the world's seas. It still has some of the old traveling stickers on it, including one where I can still see his very recognizable handwriting. So, what did I do now? Well, guess what, I shoved it all back ...

East West and Upside Down: It's Done
http://jeaneb.blogspot.com/2011/06/its-done.html
East West and Upside Down. Sharing selected stories from my life in Asia. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. Once upon a time. Rebecca doing load out inventory duty. All I had to do on loading day was show up at the end and sign the papers. At the end of the day, Rebecca and I said our good-bye's. She took good care of our home; we had the cleanest house in all of Manila. Now, after 4 years, I will have to learn how to use the washing machine. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

East West and Upside Down. Sharing selected stories from my life in Asia. Saturday, February 26, 2011. Ock Pok Tok - East Meets West. One of the things I've been doing on my travels is taking classes in whatever catches my fancy including cooking classes in Hoi An-Vietnam, Luang Prabang-Laos and Istanbul-Turkey. They've all been great experiences - learned a lot, had fun and ate well. I had never even touched a loom before so this was going to be all brand new. Weavers at Ock Pok Tok - the Professionals.

http://jeaneb.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
East West and Upside Down. Sharing selected stories from my life in Asia. Wednesday, March 16, 2011. I just spent a week 'up island', as someone says, on Vancouver Island, in the town we will be moving to in four months. One of the things I was doing there was practicing living there, trying things on for size. That, and commencing the all important search for a new pilates instructor, hairdresser and nail gal. The important things in life. Welcome to the West Coast. No it is not the same. At all. You be...
