Hey, ramblin' girl, why don't you settle down? Friday, April 30, 2010. We went a couple of times to a store where old (or dusty) items were sold, among which were some very handsome water puppets, including water buffalo puppets. And where a lovely young man named Bai gave us a very unique water puppet show. We went on a few shopping excursions and boat cruises and motorbike tours and of course we tried out a few local delicacies. But we didn’t have anything custom-tailored there. And we saw some duck fa...

Hey, ramblin' girl, why don't you settle down? Thursday, March 18, 2010. Two students from my class got distinguished awards last night. That meant they got 90% in every course (Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing) in Level 7. Way to go Tu and Vy! They are the ones holding the flowers. With all this talk of graduating, I am also thinking of my former students at University of Calgary-Qatar, some of whom will be graduating with their BScN in April. Another amazing group of students getting their...

Hey, ramblin' girl, why don't you settle down? Thursday, February 18, 2010. Kick the Bucket and Go to Heaven. We also came across a man of God who was waving a Bible and approaching people, saying, ‘ Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ . kick the bucket and go to heaven’. It was quite the early-morning message! We travelled on to Củ Chi. Our guide told us that 80% of visitors to Vietnam visit the tunnels, which were so important during the war. They are an immense network (maybe like 250 km? We were walking...

Hey, ramblin' girl, why don't you settle down? Thursday, July 29, 2010. Mai Tâm Goes to Vũng Tàu. The sponsors of the day was a lovely couple who came on the trip with their young (12 or so? Son and his friend. Nice, well-mannered kids. How wonderful these people are . they hired the buses, paid for food and snacks, and also treated everyone to lunch at a restaurant. And they joined in the day’s activities; what an inspired act of generosity! It was a great day. SiSi and Le Thu. The Lovely Miss Thy.

Hey, ramblin' girl, why don't you settle down? Friday, May 20, 2011. Thailand … ready or not. Frangipani, after the rain. I have been assiduously avoiding going to Thailand due to the fact that many of the people lined up in airports going to Phuket or Pattaya creep me out. Yes, the perv factor …. Breakfast salad at Bodhi Serene. A little hard, apparently. But it all worked out. Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep. Young dancer at Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep. This elephant had been blinded to make her more obedient.

Hey, ramblin' girl, why don't you settle down? Monday, May 31, 2010. A Glimpse into My Garden. I have been home for 3 weeks now and the time is going so fast! Cait and I spent a few days in Oklahoma when I first came back to North America and had a wonderful road trip home. I only drove about 3 or 4 hours in total . perhaps Cait was a bit apprehensive about my driving her new car after my not driving for 10 months, but if she was she hid it well. So diplomatic, my girl! I loved doing it. It was nice ...

Gentle sunrise, leaving Saigon . may there always be peaceful sunrises there. A pale poppy . so interesting when you take a closer look. Impssible to catch the vibrancy of this clematis . purpleness personified! What a beautiful peony . I love it. Siberian iris . lovely, lovely. Stephen and Rachel at Big Buddha.

Hey, ramblin' girl, why don't you settle down? Sunday, June 3, 2012. Something about an ad that came from the Icelandic Canadian Club of Toronto got me to thinking. 8230; airfare, hotel, and an excursion. 8230; a few days in. 8230; I could make it to coincide with a week off between semesters … time it for just after my birthday. A mere 48 hours to make up my mind. So, I wasn’t terribly organized or prepared. Iceland Air has a nice set-up that allows a person to fly overnight and arrive in Reykjavik in t...

Hey, ramblin' girl, why don't you settle down? Thursday, February 10, 2011. Lollygagging (and Getting Lost) in Luang Prabang. I thought I was beginning to lose it altogether . . In the end, I walked my foo foos off and ended up seeing some interesting sights! Buddhist Temple at Haw Kham (Royal Palace). 65279;. A little Akha bat doll. Discovered the difference between Indian and Chinese silk, saw how the silk is produced and how the plants in the garden are used to make dye for the silk. And who came up...
