Adventures of an Australian English Teacher: I remember.....
http://theadventurelady.blogspot.com/2012/06/i-remember.html
Adventures of an Australian English Teacher. Tuesday, 5 June 2012. It was on June 4th, in 1989, that something awful happened in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. I won't dwell on it here. I remember being in Tiananmen Square in 2010 and a cold chill running through my body as I recalled the images in the press of that awful day. Let it not be forgotten. The world will never forget what happened in that square that day. 22 June 2012 at 14:59. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Links to other Blogs.

Adventures of an Australian English Teacher: March 2012
http://theadventurelady.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Adventures of an Australian English Teacher. Sunday, 4 March 2012. What I big day I had - I shared with fellow member of 5W the story of Qiu Jin who is described as the "Chinese Joan of Arc" (1875 - 1907), a radical women's rights activist who defied tradition to become the leader of a revolutionary army in China. She was a prolific writer and also wrote. With all my heart I beseech and beg. My two hundred million female compatriots. To assume their responsibility as citizens. Chinese women, arise! Locat...

Kramer's Diary: July 2009
http://kramersdiary.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 3, 2009. He's with me again. After being overseas for much of the last 18 months, you'd think Kramer would forget me, but of course he hasn't. These days he's an indoor dog - especially since he had the stroke, but he's pretty good. He usually goes to the back door and waits if he wants to "go" so there's rarely an accident. He likes to find a place in the morning where the sun streams in and he'll curl up and sleep in the sun. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). About Wynnum and Manly.

Adventures of an Australian English Teacher: Esk and Fernvale
http://theadventurelady.blogspot.com/2012/06/esk-and-fernvale.html
Adventures of an Australian English Teacher. Thursday, 7 June 2012. I've been 'itching' to take my car for a longer drive. My driving so far has been around the city and suburbs, and I felt like a long drive, so this morning I set off for Esk. Of course I have been through this part of the Lockyer Valley, but it was a long time ago. I did buy a meat pie at the famed Fernvale Bakery. I went for a short drive and found this house. I had a quiet giggle to myself. See the downpipe into the water tank? See th...

Adventures of an Australian English Teacher: May 2011
http://theadventurelady.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Adventures of an Australian English Teacher. Sunday, 29 May 2011. I am going to the Queensland Performing Arts Centre on June 9th to see the ballet "The Last Emporer" - but today I have been watching videos of Chinese Dancing. Since reading the book "Mao's Last Dancer" and seeing the movie several times, I have learned so much about the wonderful training and quality of dance in China. Many readers will be familiar with the iconic ballet "Swan Lake" - watch the video below and see how the Chinese do it.

Adventures of an Australian English Teacher: China or Bust
http://theadventurelady.blogspot.com/2012/06/china-or-bust.html
Adventures of an Australian English Teacher. Monday, 4 June 2012. A friend of mine has published her story about teaching in China, calling it "China or Bust." Christine writes under the name of Lana Kerr. The book is available on Amazon. She and I had quite different experiences. She went with her husband, which is clearly of benefit when taking on living in a strange country where the language is impossible to understand or read when you first arrive. Both books are available on Amazon.com. Two Years o...

About Queensland: Recovery of Queensland

Saturday, January 15, 2011. Today is Salvation Saturday - people are volunteering to help people who have suffered damage from the awesome flood this week that has caused so much damage. Brisbane is not a good place to visit right now, but in a few weeks time we will be ready for tourists. The tourist places will be ready to take on as many visitors as we can - we need them to help rejuvenate the economy. Wait a few weeks and make your way to an amazing state. Queensland.

About Queensland: November 2010
http://aboutqueensland.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 29, 2010. Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens. When the big floods of 1974 swept through Brisbane, the City Botanical Gardens which is right on the Brisbane River was flooded. It was the eighth time they had been flooded since 1870 and the Brisbane City Council made a decision to create a second Botanical Gardens well above flood level, and so it was that a wonderful new area was created at the base of Mt Coot-tha. It is much bigger area, and a wonderful area now with the Planetarium. This are...

About Queensland: February 2011
http://aboutqueensland.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 1, 2011. Brisbane - open for business after the floods. True, there are still some places that are not back in business after the disastrous floods - but most things are, and as each day goes, another area is opened. Some things will never return, and others will take some time to rebuild and/or repair. The good news is that boating is now permitted on the Brisbane River - the Kookaburra Queens. Is open and the show Wicked. Is in full swing. Brisbane is back in business.
