When morning came it was pretty rainy, cloudy and cold so we woke up slower than usual and had banana pancakes before I went out for a surf session. The surf was a lot bigger today and the current was pretty nasty. I managed to get one really good wave, like down the wave bottom, turn, little cut back left, pump over the wash, ride the wave as it dies, then get on the front for the reform, then I pumped out the second break all the way in. The other ones I caught weren't as good, but it's worth it even if you only get that one really good one. <br /> <br /> We decided that we had enjoyed Byron and Ballina area enough so we started to head up to Nimbin, where all the hippies went after Byron got too Yuppieish for them, it's the hippy capital of Aussie. It was a great little drive, it would have been awesome on the motorbike full of hills and bends and curves. It was a good time. In Nimbin we were offered weed a couple of times, and shrooms once, but resisted the temptation each time. We went into a bunch of different head shops and saw more hemp, smelt more B.O., and inhaled enough incense to last us a while. We found a nice little cafe selling a falafel and hummus platter that looked delicious and used their wireless network to catch up on the real world. <br /><br />Apparently my mom was reading a book with Prycen that had a world map on it and she pointed to Australia and told Prycen that that's where we were right now. The day after Sheena was reading the same book with him and pointed to Australia and said C-Ami and Lockey while pointing to Australia. He is such an awesome little nephew. <br /><br />After catching up with the rest of the world through facetiming and emails we wanted to see some of Australia's rainforest. So up into the hills we went and were not disappointed. <br /><br />On the way to the Borderlands National park we saw a wild Peacock, - really beautiful bright blue head and feathers - and wait for it....... Kangaroos!!!! They were hopping around in a farmer's field!!! They share a lot of the same mannerisms with deer, they kind of stare at you and aren't really sure what your doing there and if they are ok with it, or if they should bound away. It was really neat to seem them just eating the grasses and hopping along. <br /><br />Then we made it up into the real rainforest, foggy mist everywhere, and ferns and huge moss covered trees. We went on a little walk/hike, I called it a wike, and it was cool to see the big trees and the other interesting plants. So as we're walking all of sudden I hear Cami freaking out, "get them off me" "get them off me" "get them off me!!!" Cami had little leaches all over her shoes. They were just little guys and they moved like slinkies and I thought they were all sorts of fun to watch, but Cami REALLY didn't like them. She isn't freaked out by much and likes spiders and other bugs, but these ones she didn't like. So I cleaned her legs and shoes all up a couple of times on our hike and we made it back to the van with a bit of daylight left. As we are driving to our camp site, I feel something kind of wet on my calf, so I reach down and try to wipe it off only to feel a thick fat leach stuck to the back of my leg. I pull him off and there is blood all over my leg and fingers where I had pulled him off. I'm laughing and Cami's freaking out, but thinks its funny that it's on me and not on her. <br /><br />We get to our campground finally, with a little bit of light to spare and get ourselves set to write some blogs have some mac and cheese and maybe watch a movie, if we have some battery left. We'll see. <br /> <br /><br />Well, this has been a lot of all at once blogging, without a lot of reflection or comment. So, here is some while I'm writing. Australia is gorgeous. Rolling hills of green and just lush forest lined with amazing beaches. The surf is amazing and beautiful, just watching a place like Snapper Rock with lines upon lines of surf rolling in is breathtaking. The sun is hot, when its out, but it has been pretty cloudy and rainy at some point during each day. The mornings are hotter and usually there is a storm that rolls in, in the afternoon. The people are so friendly and it is nice to hear english everywhere again, even though we have a hard time understanding their accent and I can tell that they have a hard time understanding us some times. - sidenote story, when I was picking up my board from this girl named Karney, I asked at the front desk for Karney, sounds like barney. I repeated myself a couple of times and then she said, "ohhh you mean Kahnay," - ya the accent is different, but everyone is awesome and funny, and fun loving and they like to add "y"s on everything. Take an english word shorten it and add a "y" on the end of it and you'll have an aussie word. Christmas = Chrissy. Presents = Pressy or Pressies. Brisbane = Brissy. <br /><br />Cami's Australian sentence, "We are going to have brekky at the Uni in Brisy, then head down for a barby in Cooly and get some Chrissy Pressies" </div>drifterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08659546325494794141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2473903129803039343.post-40615827066038692142011-12-22T18:06:00.000+08:002011-12-22T18:06:47.608+08:00Catching The Waves of Laughter<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
We woke up in the morning to Surfer's piling into the parking lot and it looked like it was going to be an awesome day. We had a nice little breakfast of oatmeal cooked on our little gas stove by Camilla, and then Cami came out with me. She with her board and I with mine, we were a little surfing couple and we got out past the break without any problems. The waves were perfect and Cami paddled and surfed like a champ. She got one really awesome one, stood up on it, turned a little bit and gave herself a little "Whoo Whoo" to finish it off. This day was probably the best one that we had surfing so far. Lots of good waves, a good size and not too much current. There were a bunch of people out too, but every one was really friendly and smiley and a couple of older gents gave Cami some free tips which was nice. I again got the kite out to give it a try when I thought there was enough wind, as there was a little more than the last time, but even after kitelooping to get going I couldn't get going and eventually it crashed and I had to wrap it up. Oh well, hopefully there will be some wind soon. <br /><br />We went back to Byron for a little bit, but we had seen the good stuff the day before and so we just walked around a little bit, till we saw some more kidcentric entertainment. Children's stand up comedy, as in the kids were the comedians. The kids were pretty funny and it seemed like they had come up with their own jokes about parents, siblings, and school. They all had pretty good stage presence and got us laughing a bunch of times. Also the host was pretty funny, she was a mid 40s overweight pregnant woman wearing a dress that was wayyyy too small for her, cracking jokes about how people think its gross that she's still breastfeeding her two and a half year old, and about how she used to get paddled w/ a wooden spoon, but she never saw her mom use it to cook, so when she went to college and saw someone using their wooden spoon to cook she said " Ew! get that out of the food, that's been on somebody's bum!" haha, and they say "bum" alot and it's funny w/ their accent. She had some good jokes, mostly about herself and we had a good laugh. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After the stand up, we shared a burger and a salad at a bar across the way and listened to a guy playing the guitar and singing on stage while a woman went around saying how awesome this singer was and "listen to his lyrics" etc, and then she started dancing... and then she got kicked out, and we ate. We then grabbed dessert nearby and listened to another a street performer jam out on his guitar while we ate a mince pie. <br /><br />We drove back to our spot, and settled in for the night after reading for a bit. Cami just finished the Hunger Games and I have just started it as well. </div>

On our last full day in Coolangatta we went to church in the morning, its not hard to get up because the van starts cooking at 7am and everybody in the RV park gets going around then anyway. So we made it to church on time and enjoyed singing some Chrismtas Carols. Cami was a little ticked that the intermediate hymn wasn't a Christmas song, but the talks were good and the hymns were good to sing. Then we went back to the RV park and I sent off the last bit of homework that I had for the semester and we played in the pool. They also had this big blobby thing that was kind of like a bouncy house/Blob/trampoline thing and I did a couple of flips on it. <br /><br />Monday we were off to Byron Bay which is only about a forty minute drive south of Coolangatta. There wasn't really any surf or wind so we just drove down rather than stopping anywhere along the way. We hung out in Byron for a bit, lots of cool shops to see and hippies and backpackers to watch. Cami found a bunch of things that were way too expensive and resisted the urge to throw things on Credit. I don't think she's bought one thing for herself in the past five months. Window shopping was fun and we grabbed some food and then headed further south as the beaches were too busy, the surf was too low and you had to pay $2/hour for parking. LAME. <br /><br />We found a nice little spot to go for a surf near Lennox Head and I grabbed a couple of waves on Cami's board, which was really fun. When we showed up it had been raining all day, except for little breaks in the clouds and I ran out in one of the breaks only to start hearing thunder right as soon as I got out past the break. I paddled in and then the sun started to break through the clouds a bit so I switched boards and went out again for a bit. They were nice little rollers, great for long boarding turns. Lots of fun and I'm happier after I've done something active as Cami will attest to. <br /><br />We had an awesome meal of Fish and Chips for Dinner, and found an awesome little place just south of Lennox Head to stay the night. We went into Ballina to watch a movie, Puss in Boots, which was alright, and then came back to our spot for the night. </div>drifterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08659546325494794141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2473903129803039343.post-86066797781427659902011-12-22T17:56:00.000+08:002012-02-06T02:58:57.771+08:00Cooly Chrissy Cabaret<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
We really liked Coolangatta/Tweeds Head Area. One interesting thing is that during Daylight Savings time one half of the town uses one time zone and the other uses another. Kind of bizarre. <br />

We also had grabbed a newspaper to try and find some fun things to do. Advertised in the newspaper was a Christmas Cabaret. There was going to be an eight piece Jazz Band, 7 mystery murderesses, featuring songs from Guys and Dolls and Chicago, it sounded like it would be entertaining so we thought we would give it a shot.<br />

When we found the place, it was a small little theatre with rectangle tables set up everywhere and people were bringing in packed dinners. There were also a lot of septuagenarians and small children everywhere wearing costumes. Then we realized that the "Christmas Cabaret" was really a kid's dance recital. Let's be serious though watching a bunch of kids dancing their life away was hilarious. There were some older kids and even some older grandmas dancing as well -this one eighty year old was givin 'er in her tap dancing shoes, really impressive. Also, if you have boys don't put them in dance classes, these guys were super unfortunate. Like maybe break dancing or hip hop or even ballroom I think would be better than tap and Jazz.<br />

There were some cute little 3 or 4 year old girl dancers and there were some awesome older kids that just danced with every bit of gumption they had in them and Cami had to tell me to stop laughing. If you know Cami and I, usually I'm the one that has to tell her to tone down the laughing. It was a fun evening and well worth the price of admission.<br />

We stayed in an RV park for 3 days in Coolangata, and there was this rad "inflatable pillow" to play on, but is was slippery and it scraped up Lockey's knees pretty good, so they would bother him when surfing, but he's a tough kid, so he survived! </div>

Our neighbors at the RV park were super nice and would chat us up every time that we came home. They showed us the home they were renovating right behind their trailer and we became quite social with them. They asked us what we were doing for Christmas and after telling them that we were quite happy just staying in our van and having a chat with our families they, invited us to come share Christmas with them. There will be thirty some odd family members and they say that we are more than welcome. We'll probably take them up on their offer, but it's still a week and a bit out. <br />

How's Goin?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
We flew from Fiji to Brisbane and had to circle Brisbane once or twice on account of the rain, fog, and air traffic. We had some trouble pulling out money because apparently my debit card is on its last legs, one disadvantage of having a money clip is that the cards I keep in it get all mashed together and what not. There is a huge gouge out of the magnetic strip, so we'll have to get a new one of those when I get home. So after grabbing heaps of money out for all of our beach toys we were off to pick up the camper van!<br />
<br />
We grabbed a taxi and rode it to just outside of Brisbane to Eagle Farm and picked up our Van. It is a three sleeper van, likely the size of a sixteen passenger van with a westfalia type top to it. I guess you'll see the pictures. Pretty awesome right!?!<br />

it's got a sink, a microwave, a fridge, and way more utensils and cooking pots and pans than we had in Hong Kong. They also threw in a couple of outside chairs which was nice, because we've used them lots, well at least Cami has used them. I've used them a little. <br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Anyway... So when we picked up the van there was my kiteboard waiting for me too, which I was super excited about, but still haven't had the wind to use it. = (</div>

So we signed a whole bunch of documents and got the tour on the van -the guy told us that the accessory battery would last for a couple of days and it actually lasts a couple of hours- but otherwise we were on our way!!! We started South from Brisbane, grabbed Cami's surfboard a 7'6" longboard with blue cloud like graphics on it - she doesn't like the graphic, then grabbed mine a 6'6" blue fish, then moved on to meet the last pick up, near Coolangatta - blasting Christmas music the whole time.<br />

I decided that it would be cheaper to buy and sell back the surfboards and the kiting equipment as renting for three weeks was ridiculously expensive. So, hopefully I'll be able to sell them back for about what I paid for them.</div>
<br />
While we were waiting to get a hold of the kite guy we stopped at a sporting goods store and picked up some balls to play with. We got a mini football, a volleyball, and a water ball! The waterball bounces on water and if you haven't seen them, then you should youtube it or something, because they are rad. You throw them with a little bit of angle and it bounces right off of the water, although you do have to throw them kind of hard, but it is good for your hand eye coordination. So we grabbed our balls in Coolangatta and then went to meet Mike - the kite guy - in Pottsville.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Mike was super nice and suggested a place for us to stay the night and also a good place to eat. We ate at a nice little restaurant where everybody was super friendly. Cami has been feeling a little under the weather for the past couple of weeks and so the waitress was kind and said that she'd make a steamed milk for her, even though it wasn't on the menu. We shared a Gnocchi with rocket salad and a slice of pecan pie. Yum. <br />
<br />
Then we went to find us a roadside pullout about 4kms down the coastline from Pottsville. It was pretty quiet and a pretty pleasant sleep for our first free camping area. <br />

We then went from Potsville up to Coolangatta to get some surfing in. I surfed at Snapper Rocks and there was a crazy current that would carry you practically a kilometer down the beach. I tried to catch some waves, but most of them were pretty burly and the current was so strong that even getting out was a chore. I caught a couple, but got owned on a bunch. Cami read her book while I was surfing and then we played with our balls together. The water ball was a lot of fun. <br />

We spent the night at a campground, because they had a deal only 25/night if we stayed three nights. So we stayed just off of Kirra beach. That night we watched Santa Clause 2 and fell asleep very easily after a fun filled day.<br />

(PS in the title there is no grammatical error... They really actually say How's Goin? and it's very confusing, you feel like they are asking where you're going, and how are you doing all at once and if they just added the work "it" in the middle of that short sentence you wouldn't have to stop in your tracks before saying "good, you?") </div>drifterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08659546325494794141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2473903129803039343.post-23134760061829984942011-12-22T17:47:00.000+08:002012-01-07T14:23:00.812+08:00Bula Vinaka Hungry Fijian Sharks!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
After leaving Hong Kong we flew to Fiji! We had an overnight flight that lasted 10 hours, and then the time change was that Nadi was 4 hours ahead of HK time. When we stepped off of the plane we immediately felt the heat of Fiji. It was tropical. And then when we stood outside waiting for our bus we realized just how hot the sun was! We were very excited when the bus showed up w/ airconditioning. What we didnāt realize was that our busride to our hotel would take us 4 hours.... yes 4 hours on a winding road on a tall tippy bus, on an empty stomach w/ no sleep for 21 hours.... (25 hours by the end of the bus ride....) I just kept praying that I wouldnāt barf. Even w/ an empty stomach thatās all I wanted to do, I think that India made my stomach a little weak and I am prone to getting carsick so it was a bad combo.... And Lockey was even sick and he doesnāt get sick, so that tells you how gross it was... But it only cost us 12 Fijian dollars each to ride, (6 CAD). Oh and also A big Fijian guy sat next to us for half the ride... For those of you who donāt know what a Fijian man looks like, think Samoan, or Polynesian... Tongan... Big! With a super huge smile, and a big āBula Vinakaā for all (āa warm helloā). </div>

When we finally arrived at the hotel we were relieved to be off of the bus. And when we checked in we were pleasantly surprised to have been upgraded to the Villa... We had a booked a beach bure before which is a cute little cottage, but this villa was a definite improvement. The bure was a single room, w/ a little bathroom outside, and no a/c. The villa had a living room w/ a couch and flatscreen, a big soaker tub, a kitchenette w/ fridge, a huge bed (that was cushy and cozy), a/c, an outdoor shower area, and a balcony w/ a sliding door into our bedroom and another sliding door into our living area. It was the nicest place weāve stayed, we were thrilled. And tired, and had a really great sleep that night!</div>

We met a random fellow from England the day we got there and he took us for a sail on his little catamaran, and he even let Lockey bring it back to shore! </div>

The Fijian people are among the friendliest that we have met, all very helpful, all speak english w/ an island lilt. They run on island time. We made friends w/ one of the servers at the restaurant at the hotel, Kessa, she was always helpful and gave great suggestions, but then when we saw her off of the hotel premises she still gave us a big smile and said hello. Also we went out for dinner to a little cafe and the waitress, Lydia, (She told me her name after she had said to just call her when we were ready to order and I didn't know her name so I said "Bula Vinaka"... She laughed and then informed me that, that was not her name!) was so hilarious, she just kept telling me how sweet I was and kept giving me hugs.</div>

Also when we were watching TV at one point there was a field hockey game on, and I asked Lockey, āIsnāt Field Hockey for girls? Because those are the butchiest girls Iāve ever seen...ā Clearly they were men, but I seriously thought that it was a girl sport b/c at my high school (and every other Calgary high school I think) there was a girls field hockey team, but certainly no boys field hockey team. Well the next day who shows up to our resort but a menās field hockey team from New Zealand. So I learned something new... Where they donāt have ice, they still try to play hockey. Also along the lines of sports, they LOVE rugby in Fiji. They had a hotel team (with staff and friends of staff) and a huge field outside the resort where they had tournaments w/ other teams from the surrounding areas. It was a big thing! (And they are big boys!) </div>

In Fiji our agenda consisted of relaxing, enjoying the cushy bed we had, using our soaker tub and outdoor shower, swimming in the ocean, hanging out at the pool, and Lockey finishing an essay. The 2 adventures we had in the 4 full days we were there were scootering for an afternoon and diving....</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First the scootering. When Lockey and I go on a scooter we sing our scooter song... itās the same as the Tuk Tuk song that we sang back in Thailand, and I think we put a link up then for the Tanuk Tanuk Tan youtube video if you want a good laugh... but it goes like this.... Scoot scoot, scoot scoot, scoot scoot Da da da da! Ya, pretty complicated... but it makes us laugh! </div>

Anyways, Fiji is a gorgeous island, w/ really rich red soil. And all of the green foliage next to the red is very stunning as they are complimentary colors! We went into a little town and saw how neat and tidy they keep their little areas, they have brightly painted humble homes, w/ well kept gardens and trimmed lawns (which would be a feat in itself b/c there is tons of brush in the wild). </div>

We stumbled upon the LDS church too, which was funny b/c as we were scooting I saw this crazy steep hill and the lawn was all trimmed to perfection, and I took a picture of it, and then Lockey said I wonder if thatās a church, and as we passed we saw the sign! The gate to the road leading to the church was locked, but we could see that there was an outdoor basktball court. We would have loved to have gone to a sacrament meeting there, as I had mentioned before the people are just generally so nice, and upbeat, and it would have been a sacrament meeting, but we didnāt get there until Sunday afternoon so it didnāt pan out, but itās always nice to see the church in other countries, it feels familiar and like home. </div>

After seeing the little town we made our way into the mountainous area (Fiji is FILLED w/ hills and mountains, when we were landing in Nadi we saw the landscape and were really surprised, it was all green and lush and rolling hills and mountains, no flat land! Which lends to the fact that we both got nauseous on that bus ride...) It was gorgeous, just like the rest of Fiji.</div>

We did 2 Shark dives, and there is a guy who feeds the sharks. We are not in a cage or anything while heās feeding the sharks, we just hang out in a line on this little trench just above the feeding āarenaā and the feeder starts tempting the sharks w/ big chunks of fish. Our first dive we went down approx 30 meters and saw a couple of bull sharks, they are big! the females are approx 3 meters, and the males 2 meters (which I thought was interesting b/c males are usually bigger than females, or have prettier plumage etc...). I thought I might be nervous diving w/ sharks (Lockey was just excited of course), but once you are down there watching a) you no longer have control over the situation, so you have to take it in stride, and b) they just were totally not interested in us! They actually seem timid or shy, which could obviously change in an instant, but they ignored everyone except for the feeder! then we went up to 15 meters, and there were smaller sharks (white tipped reef sharks mainly) and they would go right over our heads! And when you would turn around all of a sudden there would be sharks behind you. (Oh PS during this time there were 5 Fijian men down there with us, a camera man, the feeder, and 3 body guards w/ big metal poker sticks.) It was pretty nuts. Then we went up to 10 meters and fed the black tipped sharks, well not us, but the feeder guy.... These were actually the laziest dives we have ever done, you just go down, relax and watch in complete fascination as these crazy ābig fishā as the Fijians call them, chow down!</div>

Our 2nd dive was WAY cooler! They saved the best for last I guess! At one point there were SEVEN bull sharks swimming around!!! Lockey was on the end of the line, and while everyone else is laying on our stomachs as instructed Lockey was up on his knees, always wanting to be closer to the action.... The sharks were close enough though! We were approx 15-20 feet from the action at any time. At one point I thought if that bull shark is in a bad mood and decides to eat me Iām through.... They were FAST! (Although Lockey was the one kneeling, so they probably wouldāve pegged him off first...) Anyways it was a fantastic experience! (Oh and the first thing we did when we got back to the resort was call my dad to tell him that we survived... ) </div>

After diving we went and grabbed pizza (it was actually a very delicious pizza), and a coconut tried to murder Lockey! Well I guess it didn't have very good aim, because it fell right behind him. The Fijians told us that a falling coconut has never killed anyone, but have you ever tried to crack one? </div>

On a side note, the morning we got up to go dive my throat hurt a little, but I checked my ears and I could still pop them (which is necessary to go diving b/c of the pressure change when you descend). But when we actually started going down all of a sudden I felt pressure in my ears, and since itās never really a problem for me I continued to go down thinking that the air would just squeeze out... it didnāt. So I did my hand signal to my dive buddy (Lockey of course) that there was a problem w/ my ears. We went back up until my ears didnāt hurt again and then started to go down more slowly, one of the dive masters came over and told Lockey to go down (w/ hand signals obviously) and then he grabbed my hand and took me down slowly which was really great b/c I was a little worried that I might have missed out on the shark dives! But it all worked out, and by the next day I had a full blown case of bronchitis... I was certainly very lucky that I got to see those sharks!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After all of that excitement the next day was spent warding off a fever... so I sat in the shade in the pool... It didnāt work too bad! Oh and Lockey and the hotel staff tracked down a tylenol for me too. </div>

Our flight to Australia was early morning so we had to spend our last night in Fiji in Nadi close to the airport, but the ocean water was warm like a bathtub, and there was a Fire Dance performance at one of the nearby hotels. </div>

All in all the short Fijian trip was awesome. We loved Fiji, and would go back if we didnāt still have lots of places to see and it wasnāt the furthest place in the world from home... that may be an exageration, but Iām not sure, the time difference was the most weāve ever had from Calgary, we were 19 hours ahead! ( or 5 hours apart Robert! :)</div>

On our last night in HK we decided that it was necessary to have Dim Sum again! It was fabulous, Iāve never tasted better spring rolls in my life! Oh and of course I was loving my beef buns again. And Lockey loved his glutinous rice balls w/ black sesame paste... seriously, itās called glutinous rice.... <br />

Afterwards we went on our regular walking route to look at the lights from the harbour and to marvel at the city that we lived in...<br />

We checked out of our apartment in HK on Dec 3rd. We went for a walk around our neighbourhood and took some pictures of everything that we see on a daily basis.... even the view from our window! Even though our apartment was teeny tiny.... only 3 steps from the bed to the toilet w/ only 1 sink to speak of (bathroom and kitchen sink combined) we will leave it with fond memories. Whenever we travelled somewhere it was always nice to return to our hard, less than double bed with our pantry shelf right above us while we slept and Leonard the lizard keeping watch out for bugs.</div>

We will miss the Harbour, and the only patch of grass that was anywhere near us, even though only half of the circle was ever open to sit on (they were always doing maintenance on the other half, and the half that was open would switch every couple of weeks). But this was where I would run at night, and where Lockey and I would have picnics.</div>

Weāll miss the view of the city from the harbour. It always made us feel a sense of awe thinking that we lived in one of the coolest cities in the world. All of the lights at night, and the helicopters and ferries always coming into the ferry terminals.</div>

The area we lived in (Sheung Wan) was known for it's dried fish, the area reaked of fish, and it was especially bad when you walked (or ran) by it on the street. They would just put it out on the sidewalk to dry too. Lockey and I like to get each other a "scent" (cologne, or perfume) on our trips so when we smell them it takes us back to our trip, but we just couldn't decide on any for this trip, but I'm sure if we ever smell dried fish again it will take us right back to the streets of Sheung Wan. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
So Lockey and I have a tradition of celebrating American Thanksgiving. It's a fun time of year, and it really kicks off the holiday season, which I love! Also since the first 2 years of our marriage were spent in Beeville, TX it was only natural to celebrate. And now we are lucky enough to spend time at Robert and Loni's cabin in MT so we feel like it's still legit to celebrate American Thanksgiving... And if I still haven't convinced you then I'll just throw it out there.... Lockey is an American citizen... (Dual... but for our purposes of celebrating American Thanksgiving we'll just say he's American). So I went to work and made a splendid (if I may say so myself) Thanksgivining dinner on Friday night. I can do magic w/ my hotplate!</div>

During dinner we watched one of my favorite movies, (I love Christmas movies!) Serendipity. It was lovely this year, just like every other year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After dinner and a movie, we walked down to the harbour, and I showed Lockey the lights on the ferry terminal high rises. There were also buildings across the harbour covered in lights. It was a bit nippy out, but we kept walking, until we found ourselves in a shopping area, w/ Christmas music, and Christmas trees.</div>

I was feeling festive, and then we saw Starbucks. One of Lockey and I's pasttimes at Christmas is that we like to go to the Chapters, Starbucks and get a Peppermint White Hot Cocolate, and read little kid Christmas books to eachother in the little teacup. (We are very grown up...) Although there wasn't a bookstore around, we were still able to enjoy some Christmas cheer in a cup of gingerbread hot chocolate! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(They don't have our usual Christmas beverage, but I quite enjoyed my gingerbread hot chocolate!)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And to end our Thanksgiving evening we had some Pumpkin Cheesecake w/ white chocolate covered walnuts. It was a great evening and a good break from studying for finals for Locklyn. (Which I think he was thankful for....) And I am thankful for my husband studying so hard so that we can have a bright future!</div>

When you land in Mumbai, this is what you see... Slums all the way up to the tarmac. If you really want to see it then watch Slumdog Millionaire, we saw basically all of the landmarks in that movie. More than half of the population of over 40 million people live in slums in Mumbai. </div>

And this was outside of the Mumbai stock exchange, behind this there were police officers sitting at a table playing cards I think... but another officer saw us and started yelling at us to get away... Also the same day there was a protest, or a demonstration going on by the Flora fountain, they had a big pile of books that they were burning or something? And there was security people and the Indian people were keeping their distance from it, but still watching, but the security people wouldn't let us even try to see what was going on, they just told us to keep moving, it was bizarre... </div>

As a summary of India, we are both glad that we had the opportunity to see India. We are glad that we had the experience. India is a completely different type of place to visit, and although we think we are pretty weathered travellers if we had to do it again we would definitely go on a tour of India where everything was planned out, and they knew the safe places to eat, and we could have delved into the desert living more. I would definitely recommend to anyone who feels the need to go to India that they go w/ a tour group, or a guide. </div>

So, the drive was somewhat eventful and it was nice to see some of the countryside although it wasn't quite as rural as I was hoping. All along the road you would pass a collection of colourfully decorated transport trucks, tractors, oxen drawn wagons, unhelmetted motorcyclists, and crammed tuk tuks - all of which I tried to take pictures of. (There were also fresh veggie carts w/ beautiful vegetables, next to still water puddles and garbage piles and the veggies had flies.... this was normal...)</div>

One thing to notice on the truck is the Horn Please sign. There is a constant honking of horns while you are driving in India and signs like these are on every truck and car encouraging Indians to keep up the noise pollution. </div>

Cami and I rode with Y.P. only stopping a couple of times along the way. He was a great driver. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
First story was when we were crossing the border into another state. At the border crossing they have all of these beggars and entertainerish people. The first one that approached our car was a guy with a talented monkey. He was asking for money and such and he wanted us to get out of the car to take pictures with him and his monkey, but that wasn't happening. So I took out the camera and took a couple of pictures of him and his monkey. He seemed ok with it at first, his monkey even did backflips on command which I had never seen a monkey do. It was pretty cool, but I wasn't about to roll down my window and give him money. Then the monkey pimp came over. He was an angry man and while he didn't speak english I got the impression that he was pretty pissed that I took pictures of the monkey without paying the guy. He tried to open the door, but I had locked it. He was all yelling at me and I just took the camera and showed him that I deleted the photos. That seem to pacify him a bit, but I'm pretty sure he threatened me or said something fairly threatening. Not really cool, but I wasn't about to open the door or window for these guys. Not Happening. There was also this transvestite looking person that tried to solicit something from our driver and a couple of beggars that persistently begged on Cami's side of the car. Not fun. There were a couple of times that I gave some beggars money, like this one time where this guy came up to my Tuk Tuk when I was on my way back to the Hospital and his foot looked like it was going to have to be amputated. It was all twisted and broken, and there was a gaping bleeding wound in the top of it that was probably 6 inches long and an inch wide. It was really sad. It's so hard when there is so much poverty and YP said that most of the money will go to fuel drug addictions. </div>

We had stopped at this place to eat and while we weren't feeling up to much we grabbed some crackers, cookies, water and some MINT CHOCOLATE GUM!!! (The same gum you get at Target, it was really expensive for India). That gum was delicious. YP also wanted to grab some tea and some food, but he sat in a different section than we did. So we sat down, I put my bag on the back of the seat and ate some crackers. When YP was done we grabbed our crackers and cookies and such and were off to Agra again. It wasn't until we were getting out of the car to go to the Taj that I realized that I had left my bag on the back of the seat. This bag is our lifeline. It has everything. It has the I Pad, with all of my school work, and our flight/hotel itineraries, it has our passports, our money, EVERYTHING!!! I started flipping out. I couldn't believe that I had been so stupid. I wouldn't do something like that in Canada, let alone India. We were ready to turn around and go back to see if it was there, when YP asked if I had the receipt for the food that we had bought. I found it, but it didn't have a phone number on it. Luckily his friend had the number to the place and he called them. I was praying my little heart out hoping that someone would be good and kind and honest, even if they took the money if they just left the I Pad and the passports... When they answered they said that they had looked through my stuff to try and find a phone number for us, but they had kept everything for us, without taking a thing. I was so relieved and practically didn't believe that they would do that. </div>

So, after a bit of a regroup and with our emotions still messed up from everything, including this latest fiasco we got into a rickshaw and started towards the Taj Mahal. YP suggested that we be back at the car in an hour and a half, so we made a deal to be at the meeting place in that time. So we went off in our Rickshaw. </div>

So after we left the rickshaw, we went and got tickets after fighting off all of the hawkers and the tour guides. (We were standing in the male and female lines and there were men who wanted to be our tour guides bothering me and I was trying to be polite and say that we didn't need a guide, but thanks anyways, we didn't have a lot of time, but they didn't go away, and Cami wasn't feeling well so she turned around from her line and yelled, "Lockey just tell them NO", and they scampered off.) Tickets are 750(15CAD) rupees for tourists and 20(0.40 CAD) rupees for indians, but 15 bucks is still a good deal to see the Taj. There was also a crazy long line up that we had to wait in for a half hour, which plus the time to take the rickshaw and get tickets we had all of 20 minutes at the Taj Mahal. Kind of sad that we only had that limited time, but it is what it is. </div>

When we got back to the restaurant where we had dinner all of these guys were waiting around to meet us and I was so thankful and we got some rice off of them and they wanted to chat and and see pictures of our families. I showed them how to use the iPad and they gave us all of their contact information so that we could be Facebook friends. I am really grateful that there are honest and kind people in the world. I really don't know what I would have done without that bag. So grateful for good people and answered prayers. </div>

This was our last day in Delhi so after the long ride home and after grabbing some prescription drugs (antibiotics) without a prescription, for 2 CAD, we had a good nights rest at the hotel - I even got a pillow- and we were off to Mumbai in the morning. </div>

We arrived at the hospital on Monday afternoon almost 24 hours after I started being sick. We went to the Jessa Ram hospital in Delhi, I had stopped throwing up for a couple of hours so we thought it would be safe to take a trip to the hospital, but I took a bucket w/ me just in case... Which the nurses all kind of laughed and asked what my bucket was for (it was the hotels, so I had to drag it around w/ me, and it had Doraemon on it... a cartoon character...) Anyways I didn't need it. </div>

This was me in the hospital after they decided they were going to have to admit me for the night. I waited here while they did paperwork, and our taxi driver Y.P. Sharma hung out by the bed like my body guard and got Lockey some water so I could take some pills they gave me, and Lockey did the paperwork... Notice there aren't enough pillows to go around! (We also saw a really old dead man come in, and they started doing CPR on him, but I'm not sure it worked... not a lot of privacy in the initial area we went to...)</div>

So they put me on a Saline drip, with some intravenous antibiotics. They worked quickly and efficiently, and I was not the first person to arrive w/ the "Delhi Belly". (I think it is more accurate to say "Smelly Delhi Belly") </div>

Well my visit turned into 2 nights in the hospital, w/ hardly anything to eat for almost 72hours because I had no appetite (which trust me, NEVER happens) and the hospital food was terrible. So I was feeling pretty weak. And then when I did get a bit of soup Lockey had to feed me b/c they put the IV in my right hand and it was swollen and hurt a lot (I think they hit a nerve, b/c it still hurts a bit... I'll survive though...) So Lockey got to be my full time nurse. He helped to feed me and even brushed me teeth! (Now he's a pro b/c he got tips from his hygienist!) ... It's nice to know that he's capable of taking care of me if needed! </div>

The nurses were all really sweet, ( I especially liked Dindee and Jubee... I told Jubee her name reminded me of candy... I'm not sure she understood) and the doctors were very helpful and seemed quite knowledgeable. They had recommended that we stay for at least another day, but we had a plane to catch the day they wanted me to be discharged so we asked them to give me oral antibiotics as I could now keep them down. The Dr. said this would be ok, and discharged me on request on Thursday morning after they had to switch my IV to my left hand b/c my right hand had gotten so swollen that the drip was not going in my vein anymore, and after my morning dose of antibiotics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh, but 2 funny things that happened... First they work on Indian time... kind of like Island time, or Mormon standard time I guess... Everything is always later than they say it will be. "The doctor will be in at 8:30" (He showed up at 10 and then said I must not be feeling very good b/c I was more chipper in the morning... I pointed out that it was 10:00pm, and I would have rather been sleeping than waiting for his visit). "We'll be in at 6:00am to give you your final dose of antibiotics". They arrived at around 7am after Lockey harassed them. We were supposed to leave by 8am, but then they had problems w/ the paperwork so Lockey was dealing w/ that and I was sort of trying to get a little cleaned up (not much though...) and waiting for them to take the IV needle out of my hand. I went up to reception and they told me to wait in my room. So I did... then I buzzed and no one came... So I decided to take the IV out myself... I got the antiseptic hand wash on some tissue so I could wipe my hand after I took it out, and I had a bandaid all ready to go, and I was removing all of the tape on my hand when a nurse came in and thwarted my plans.... I was just about to pull it out, and I was going to be really proud of myself too, but she tsk tsked at me and took it out herself. ( I think I would have done a better job though). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Secondly, while I was waiting so patiently in my room (patience is definitely one of my strong suits...) A young lady came in wearing the cleaners uniform, and she took away some of my garbage from my dinner the night before. She then pointed at herself and me and said something that I totally didn't understand... So I thought she was introducing herself. Lots of people had come in to introduce themselves and I'm still unsure who half of them were, or why they were there. Anyways, I introduced myself too. Then she shook her head pointed at herself and said what I think was "commission". And then pointed at me again, and then rubbed her thumb back and forth against her fingers in the "money" gesture. I finally realized she wanted me to pay her for tidying up my room. But she had hardly done anything, there were two guys who did the sweeping and tidying in the bathroom, and she had only just cleared away some dishes. So I said "You want me to pay you?" and she nodded. "Don't you get paid by the hospital?" she nodded. And I said "I'm not paying you." And she stormed out. I hadn't even had my sheets changed once in my whole visit. Don't try and scam me lady! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I'm sure you all want to know the nitty gritty details of my hospital visit. The sheets were tattered, but the staff was great. The building was a bit dilapidated, but I had TV. The food was terrible, but they were pretty efficient and thorough (They even did a chest X-ray and an ultrasound!), but they didn't wear any PPE (That's personal protective equipment for any of you non healthcare providers out there... aka gloves masks etc.), but they had sani wipe at the end of the bed, I didn't have to share a room either which was nice.

And I must add that Lockey was a great husband and hung out at the hospital with me almost the whole time, other than to get some food for himself, or talk to insurance, etc. Thanks Lockey! (And we got to watch all 3 Home Alone movies b/c they were on Star Movies... Oh how I love Christmas movies!)</div>

Lockey was trying to write an essay while we were flying, but this guy in the navy jacket behind us had decided to strike up a conversation w/ us just prior to boarding the plane from Bangkok to Delhi, and then when we were seated he all of a sudden showed up and asked if he could sit in the empty chair next to us.. How do you say no? Having an empty chair means more room to try to sleep, which is basically impossible for me to do on flights, or car rides, or train rides... or anywhere where I can't lay down. Anyway, this guy was a complete anarchist, drug addict, and was trying to tell me that the world should legalize all types of drugs, supply them to addicts and make them super cheap, and the world would be a better place. I couldn't handle listening to him, but I knew Lockey needed to write his essay, so Lockey took my iPod (literally out of my hands) and my seat next to the window, and I took one for the team and somehow tolerated this loser for 4 hours... He NEVER stopped talking. (Good start to the trip)</div>

So at night time in Delhi it gets REALLY smokey. We got off the plane and thought something was wrong, but apparently that's normal, though no one could explain why to us. We did see people burning garbage, and burning incense and offerings, and fields... so maybe the combo?</div>

The sprayed water at us, and threw bananas at us, and told us to come sit right in the action. The music was BLARING, so there was no possible way we were going to get any sleep even though we had already been up for 23 hours, so we joined in with the clapping and such. There was a man who danced w/ a cobra, he wrapped the cobra in his hair. And a blue monkey (which we saw lots of statues of the blue monkey). It was a neat way to enter Indian culture. </span></div>

And this is where the adventure begins... If I could take back this moment... These "Chaats" were everywhere on the street and I commented to Lockey that they must be a popular snack and I wondered what they were, an Indian man who had been trying to pay for henna told this guy to let us try one for free. They were so dang friendly, I forgot the first rule to being in a foreign country... DON'T EAT OFF THE STREET! (Although I'm not going to lie, in Delhi it was hard to come by a "real" restaurant....) </div>

So after seeing some sights we decided to take the metro to Akshardham. The metro was surprisingly efficient, easy to navigate and not too busy, it also smelled less than I thought it would. It got us to where we wanted to go to and that's the point! This is the line up outside of Akshardham to do your bag drop. No Camera's or electronics etc aloud. Apparently there was a terrorist attack here in the summer, so they are really careful, but also in most temples you just aren't aloud to take pictures. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They also had security checks after you already dropped off your bag. There is always a girl line and a boy line, because girls can't get groped by the men I guess. And in most cases the girls go in a curtained room to be checked so that no one gets to watch... It's bizarre to me. </div>

This was the Lotus Garden, each "petal" was filled with plaques that had famous quotes on them. If you look to the left of the path at the top left side the second plaque in said this: " When you laboriously accomplish your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake" Victor Hugo. I loved this quote. That's how I feel sometimes. When I've done all that I can during the day, don't sweat it at night, Heavenly Father is watching over me while I rest. It's a peaceful and comforting thought, and I don't know if I ever consciously thought of this before, but as soon as I read that quote I thought, "I get that". </div>

Day 2 in Delhi. It was Monday, their holiday if you recall from the previous post. It is to remember Abraham's (almost) sacrifice of Isaac... although they think it was Ishmael... So they sacrifice goats, and cows and camels, something for each household... So while we were on our way to see Jama Masjid (one of the largest mosques in the world) we saw lots of people guiding animals around! </div>

Lockey in a sarong and bare feet in Jama Masjid (you always had to take your shoes off before going into the temples, which I get, because we do the same thing, and also in Japan you do the same thing. It doesn't generally bother me... except for maybe when I was really little and we went through the Cardston open house before they rededicated the temple and they made me put on those booties and it ticked me right off... But NOW it doesn't bother me... except in India..... the ground is not cleaner because of a lack of shoes... there is still dirt and garbage everywhere...) </div>

The kids LOVED to stare at us and try to talk to us (most of them weren't even begging or anything which we found impressive) people asked to take our pictures, and we had a whole group around us at one point when a little indian boy was speaking english with us, and it wasn't just kids, there were adults too... It was so bizarre. (and even though it has happened before in other countries we visited it's still a strange phenomenon... I wouldn't like to be famous I don't think!)</div>

I"m unsure if this is a religious custom or if people really are just washing their feet because they get so dirty in India (I wore sandals the first day and regretted it almost instantly when I saw several men peeing on the streets and walls, and saw human feces and garbage all over the street... one time I saw 3 men peeing all at the same time in one garbage dump. Lucky me.) But Lockey decided he was going to wash his feet too. (I told him this would only make them dirtier b/c more dirt sticks to your feet when they are wet... )</div>

It is literally a hospital for birds... Here is the story about the Bird Hospital</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 10px; line-height: 16px;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 10px; line-height: 16px;"></span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
The story of Delhi's Jain Bird Hospital begins, as all fairytales should, with a king in his palace in the East. The king, a follower of the Jain religion, is a pigeon fancier with a thousand birds, but one in particular has his heart: it is the most beautiful and most clever of all his pigeons. One day when the king is flying this favoured pigeon it is attacked by a hawk. The king is beside himself, distraught at the thought of losing his friend, and begs the hawk to take a piece of his own flesh in exchange for the life of the bird. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />The story now moves inside the palace. The courtiers wait with baited breath as the king places his pigeon on one end of golden scales and then prepares to cut off his hand to balance the weight of the bird. Engrossed by the scene everyone watches on as the severed hand is laid on the scales, hoping that will be the end of the king's ordeal, but the end is not yet in sight: the pigeon is too heavy and the scales do not balance.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Panicked and fearing he will lose both his hand and his pigeon, the king looks around for his sword. Unease ripples through the spectators: what will happen next? Gritting his teeth the king raises his sword above his head and, with a single swipe, takes off his own leg. Bleeding profusely and suffering from excruciating pain he leans forwards and places his leg beside the hand on the scales. Still the scales do not balance. Determined, the king raises his sword again and, as the onlookers gasp in horror, plunges it into his chest, falling forward onto the scales. Finally, they balance and the bird is saved.</div>
</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 10px; line-height: 16px;">Fortunately for the birds of Delhi, the story does not end here, for the eagle is in fact a god in disguise. His attack on the pigeon was intended to test the king, to see how much he cared for all the living things in his kingdom, and to decide if he was fit to rule over them. The king's willingness to sacrifice himself for the bird has exceeded even the god's expectation and his reward is resurrection. The king is raised to life, his limbs restored, and his favourite pigeon returned to his grasp. The story provides guidance for followers of Jainism; just like the king they should care for all living things and protect in particular the birds that surround them.</span><br />

... The birds here looked SO unfortunate, ones head was turned upside down, so he was literally seeing the world upside down... There was a big Peacock that couldn't use it's legs and looked like it was sliding around in it's own filth... And they expect you to take off your shoes here!!! Look at how I'm trying not to touch my feet to the ground! If only I could master levitating! </div>

And a picture to show that there are random men sleeping EVERYWHERE on the streets. On the sidewalk you walk by them, but this was funny b/c they are all spooning... Men are SO touchy and cuddly in India. (I mean men w/ other men, they remind me of little school girls skipping and holding hands.... ) I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing for guys to show their affection, to one another... to a certain degree (although when they show their "brothers" more love than their wives that may be excessive to me) I'm just not used to it! We met some teenage boys at Akshardham and Lockey shook their hands and he said "Do you shake hands here?" And the kid said "Of course! Or we can hug!" And so they did... </div>

Then in the middle of some alleyways in the middle of markets we saw this girl! Holy Moly, she can slack line! Take notes Jeff! She was bouncing, and then she made the bottom half of her body like a pendulum, and kept her top half still and just swayed the line back and forth really fast, you can kind of see it in the next picture. (Although she didn't do any double back flips...)</div>

Lockey was starting to get hungry, but I wasn't... but we had seen a McDonalds, and that sounded like "safe" food... sad isn't it? So we got a water and some ice-cream. I had about 2 bites of the ice-cream, Lockey left me the chocolate dipped parts (ya that's right, they do dipped cones in India!) </div>

AND THEN... I sat feeling nauseous, Lockey thought it might just be the sun (It was over 30 degrees out) and then all of a sudden I vomitted... Twice... And if being white and a female in India doesn't make people stare, vomitting in public will! They were pretty weak sauce vomits though, but we decided it would probably be best to go back to the hotel anyways... Thank goodness we did... And thank goodness we got an open sided tuk tuk and not a taxi....</div>

And then we saw bloody animal skins (and smelled) and these people were holding them out to us as we slowly moved through the crowds in this tuk tuk.

Lockey took this picture when he had dinner at the hotel.. I was preoccupied w/ being sick every few minutes. And to add to it I was actually SO ill that I would actually sit on the toilet with a bucket in front of me... Sorry for being gross, but I need to remember this to help me not take my health for granted ever again... Have you ever been so sick that you wake up in your own poop? I have. And again... I have the best husband ever, he stripped the sheets while I showered... Brave man... Especially considering that within the hour he would join me making frequent trips to the bathroom... side note, there were 2 beds in our hotel room, so we were covered! (But I did feel really bad for whoever had to clean up after us!)</div>

This is the water that we tried to ingest (but threw up w/in 3 minutes of drinking it every time) and the roles of toilet paper that we used w/in less than 24 hours... We tried club soda... It seemed to sit a little better, we just knew we needed to try to stay hydrated. We had antibiotics given to us by the travel clinic before we left, for just in case, but I couldn't keep them down! Lockey luckily by the next morning just felt out of sorts, but wasn't vomitting anymore, and seemed like he could stay hydrated... I had a much worse time of it... and ended up in the hospital in Delhi... </div>

So we changed all our flights to Tuesday Nov 8th, and then by Friday Nov 4th (which is when our initial flight had been scheduled for) our online status of our application changed from "Passport returned to applicant" to "CLEARANCE RECEIVED" (And yes it was in all caps). So since they said that it was a one day process from there and that we just had to come in in the morning and by the evening it would be done, we figured we would take it in that Friday afternoon (after a run and climbing of course) and then it would be done by Mondy evening, (cutting it close but we were just going to try to be keeners to make sure it was ACTUALLY done by monday evening so we could fly out Tues morning). <br />
<br />
So we get to the visa application centre and the same guy (Marcus) was helping us. We asked him to do the one day passport service and he said that they were closed on Monday because of a holiday in India, so he could get it to us by 10:00am Tuesday morning. I told him that would be unacceptable as our flight left at 10:45am and we would never be able to make it. We explained to him that we had changed our flights previously on his advice that Tuesday would be the best date to choose as we would for sure have our passports by then b/c we could do the one day service on Monday... Which he was now telling us was closed for an Indian holiday. He called the consulate and said nothing can be done. So we asked for the information to the consulate and went there ourselves.<br />
<br />
We had to wait for a while, and then they sent us away for and hour, and when we came back, Voila! Visa's in hand! We were very grateful for what the consulate did as we knew we were an inconvenience, but it was their employee who had given us very poor advice! So after we knew we were getting our visas we thought it would be nice to get them a little "Thank you" for doing the extra work required for our visas. <br />

So with Visas in hand, Lockey's first question was, should we change our flights to tomorrow? So we did. We changed flights, hotels, train tickets and packed all in one night and still somehow made it to the airport in the morning without any episodes (Thanks to my dad being the wonderful reliable man he is and calling 3 minutes before any of my alarms actually went off in the morning... Thanks Dad!) And so this was the beginning of a New Adventure.... Keep reading, it only gets more interesting!</div>

THIS is our house guest, Leonard<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikCeoX0I19rdOAgfuSAiKqRRmYCm-Lk5Oj2EHOV7UkiFSGCWVYYmEjrC3EG3JsBoCMjCnnZ7gonad3yjlZ59CjIkSZWgwsT8bnwpqNYh7uEG9pCtJ3MTwop6o2AJNt43hK02zCUHGJ/s1600/P1050778.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikCeoX0I19rdOAgfuSAiKqRRmYCm-Lk5Oj2EHOV7UkiFSGCWVYYmEjrC3EG3JsBoCMjCnnZ7gonad3yjlZ59CjIkSZWgwsT8bnwpqNYh7uEG9pCtJ3MTwop6o2AJNt43hK02zCUHGJ/s640/P1050778.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
APPARENTLY he's not dead after all.... and perhaps I know what he eats now too....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I was going to make Lockey and I sticky rice for dinner (I know sticky rice and bananas is supposed to be a dessert or a breakfast.... but if you eat it for dinner then you're still getting your rice, as well as your sweets, and then you don't have to double up on calories... the best part of dinner is dessert anyways isn't it?) and I grabbed the bag of rice off of our shelf (you know the pantry above our bed?) And poured it into my pot.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I looked down I saw a bug in it. A little brown bug. So I tried to pinch him, but the rice was in the way, and then all of a sudden I saw 2 bugs! TWO BUGS in my rice... two bugs is nothin, I looked in the bag and I saw 4 just at the top, and 2 crawling OUT of the bag! Ummmm Yuck?!?!? How did they get into my sealed bag of rice? And why did I hesitate to throw it out? Seriously, was there even a question? I guess I didn't want to waste an almost full bag of sticky rice... So I've got some Romeril in me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chucked the bag of rice. And then I checked my regular rice for bugs... NO BUGS! so we had our sticky rice (that wasn't so sticky, but still coconutty banana deliciousness) after all. Sans bugs of course.</div>

<br />Camilla Price http://www.blogger.com/profile/01300933751624336444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2473903129803039343.post-87648728239136540522011-11-01T13:05:00.000+08:002011-11-01T13:05:09.906+08:00Oh CanadaThe things I take for granted when I am in Canada in no particular order:<br />
<br />
1. Bathtub - To get warm, or to relax, or just for the ease of shaving my legs, these handheld showers are no good. And the hot water runs out too fast here, like at my parent's house.<br />
<br />
2. Treadmill/workout area - Oh to have a treadmill here so I wouldn't have to run through throngs of people. And I miss my pole, and my insanity workout. Who knew how much I actually enjoyed working out?<br />
<br />
3. Fishcreek park - still with the working out, I LOVE running through fish creek. It's beautiful there. I love walking in fish creek w/ Lockey. I love riding my bike in Fishcreek. I love the bridge in Fishcreek where Lockey and I spent our first date and where he proposed. I just Love the Woodbine/Evergreen area of Fishcreek.<br />
<br />
4. Family - This one speaks for itself. We miss being at family functions, we miss Sunday dinners, we miss seeing Prycen growing up, and seeing baby Necklace and Dash. <br />
<br />
5. Car/Motorbike - Oh the freedom of having a car. And of course Lockey misses his motorbike. <br />
<br />
6. Space - not outer space... just space in general. When there are 4 steps from your less than double bed to your toilet that your knees touch the sliding door when it's closed you really appreciate space. There are people all over the street, in the subway, people everywhere, and they don't always understand your personal bubble. I need me some space!<br />
<br />
7. Home - I love our home! It's bright, it's what we wanted, it's open and it's peaceful. I love coming home to our home after a day of work and exhaling. <br />
<br />
8. Cooking - I just started to love cooking, and I love cooking in MY kitchen. I love the counter space and the oven. (both things I don't have here) I love having a fridge and a freezer (again, no freezer and a mini fridge that doesn't hold much). I love being able to cook healthy foods and use fresh produce that I'm not afraid will give me some sort of virus. It's so hard to cook healthy here.<br />
<br />
9. Baking - I love baking, I have always enjoyed baking. It's a great stress reliever and it's fun to use your creativity, and I won't lie, I love eating baked goods too... with no oven it is a challenge, believe me I've tried to make cookies on the hot plate, and chicken pillows, but it's so much less pleasant!<br />
<br />
10. Fireplace - So nice to sit in front of the fireplace and snuggle up to read a book w/ my hot chocolate or maybe watch a movie w/ my man. <br />
<br />
11. Our BED!!! - I have not had a perfect sleep, (you know the sleep where you feel like you are in a cocoon and nothing can wake you? Where your eyes don't want to open. Where the next day you feel super refreshed....) since leaving in August. Our bed is magical, with its memory foam, and comfy comforter and the organic blanket and the bed warmer.... Luxury. Loni (my mother in law) helped to foster this love of good bedding as her bed at the cabin is ridiculously comfortable too! <br />
<br />
12. Grass - This is one of Lockey's contributions, and it's a good one. There is hardly any grass here, and the grass that there is, is in one small circle that half is blocked off, and is covered w/ other people and no trees. Did you know how nice it is to walk barefoot in grass? or lay in the grass? or have a picnic on grass? We do.<br />
<br />
13. Tap water - Buying water is expensive, and you feel like you can't just drink water whenever you want to. Therefore we are not as hydrated as we need to be, especially w/ the heat here. Lockey also loves the taste of Calgary water, I like when it's been in the fridge for a while. <br />
<br />
14. Fresh Air - When you walk outside here you smell fish. Dried fish everywhere. And when you don't smell fish you smell greasy Chinese food. The harbour on Sunday was so smoggy the sky looked almost yellowy green like when a cartoon character farts. The first fresh air we really smelled since being here was in the mountains in Japan, we didn't realize how much we missed it. <br />
<br />
15. The Cabin - Oh the Cabin. A lovely getaway to spend time w/ the family, get away from responsibilities at home, and enjoy the outdoors. We love the Cabin. Thanks Robert and Loni for always letting us take advantage of your beautiful cabin!<br />
<br />
16. Rock Band - This one is silly, but true. Rock band is a good time. Band practice w/ Jeff and Steph is an even better time. We will have to start this up again when we get back!<br />
<br />
17. Canadian prices - We always complain in Canada about the prices compared to the states. Cheese is so expensive, gas is so expensive, etc etc. Although it is true that the states are cheaper (and Lockey and I are lucky enough to take advantage of US prices for lots of things), Canada can't even compare to some of the prices in Hong Kong or Japan! I found a pair of shoes at Nine West that I loved, they told me the price, we did the conversion, it would have been $212.00 CAD. We checked online, they were only $139. When we were in Japan I found them again, did the conversion.... $300 CAD!!! What the heck? They are Nine West not Louboutin... (although I know that those much more expensive, but you get my point!)<br />
<br />
18. Mountains - although there are mountains here, they are not the same. The Rocky Mountains are regal, and I miss our autumn hike and climb and then going to Canmore after for a nice meal. Climbing in Kananaskis is also a nice treat. Being so close to the mountains in Calgary is definitely something we take for granted.<br />
<br />
19. Climbing wall - In Calgary we go to CCC. The climbs are fun, and they change them up, so you can project things, but there are usually new challenges by the time you get your project. I like that there is climbing and not just bouldering, which is all that we have here. But at least we have something!<br />
<br />
Now don't get me wrong, this adventure is amazing. We are seeing and experiencing so many really great things. We are learning about other cultures. We are seeing the other side of the world! But no matter where you go in the world, there will always be some things you miss from home. <br />

But there is a glitch... I somehow missed the fact that we need visa's to get into India. The flights are paid for, the hotels are paid for, I've done research on the things to do and see, we even have train tickets booked to get to Agra to see the Taj Mahal, but now I am unsure exactly what is going to happen. They say it takes 5 business days to get our visa that we applied for on Monday.... and we fly out Friday morning. I have no idea how I missed this as I am generally very thorough when I plan, I'm a bit of a control freak, I have antibiotics for just in case, we have photocopies of passports and visa's and letters from my employer, and health insurance, and trip insurance, I even have snack packs packed, and I had checked if I needed visas for all other locations, and was certain that I had checked for India not once, but twice.... But I was wrong. Of course you need a visa to go to India! It's India! Anyways, we are tracking the progress online, and have written an email begging for it to be done on Thursday and asking if there is anything we can do... so stay tuned! Another travel adventure. (I think we'll get there, it just might not be until Tuesday next week instead of Friday, which would be a bummer, but life goes on and lessons are learned!)Camilla Price http://www.blogger.com/profile/01300933751624336444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2473903129803039343.post-29047353811696617802011-11-01T11:20:00.001+08:002011-11-01T11:20:39.670+08:00Party Animal!So this post is a week late, but better late than never!<br />
<br />
It was my BIRTHDAY!!! And I love my birthday. I don't care that I just turned 26 (or am still 30 according to the Price family's rounding rule.... If you are under 5 then you can round down, once you hit the 5 you round up... for example, when you are 24 you are only 20, but when you turn 25 you are now 30, therefore I am still 30...) Usually when I am at home working I make sure to tell Lindsay Pitcher (one of the hygienists I work w/) every day that my birthday is coming up, and she always does something really cute and thoughtful, and now I have made her promise to always tell me when her birthday is so that I can return the fun! (Although apparently taking a cake to work doesn't always go over so well). Anyways, I couldn't harass Lindz that my birthday was coming up, and we are 14 hours ahead here so when I was celebrating my birthday here everyone in Canada was sleeping. Also I thought that since we were flying on my birthday that maybe they would at least tell me happy birthday at the ticket counter, or as we were boarding the flight, or maybe even give me a little treat on the plane.... but no one did. (But don't worry I did talk to my parents for a few minutes and my mom gave me her fancy Marilyn Monroe rendition of happy birthday, which I also always look forward to. And the day AFTER my birthday was very full of birthday wishes which was lovely....)<br />
<br />
But my point is that even without all of the fun happy birthday's and acknowledgements that you generally get on your birthday it was still a really awesome day. I mean I was in Japan! With my very best friend! And he took me to the zoo! I woke up to a really thoughtful sweet letter that he had written me, and then we packed up and checked out, it was our last day in Japan. We decided to go to McDonalds and indulge in a birthday breakfast treat. Have you ever had the hot cake, egg, sausage and cheese breakfast sandwich? It's like the egg McMuffin, but a million times better (and fattier I'm sure, but it's my birthday right?) and then to top it all of we had Chocoring! We had hunted it down the night before, made a special trip on the subway when we got into Tokyo just so I could have it as my birthday cake. What a great husband. <br />
<br />
After we had stuffed ourselves we went to the zoo. It was not a spectacular zoo, but it was a zoo nonetheless. Although we did decide that we had found the most busy place in Japan! There were school groups EVERYWHERE! And they all had matching hats (well each school had different matching hats). I think the highlight was seeing the Silverback and the other gorillas. There was a baby gorilla drumming on one of the other gorilla's heads, and the other gorilla would just swat the baby away. and where ever big papa moved to everyone else moved away. <br />
<br />
We also saw the Hokkaido Brown Bear, which Lockey put in the previous post, and he was the biggest dang bear I have ever seen! It was funny when we were hiking Lockey said he would punch a bear in the face... and then when we actually saw the bear that was on the warning signs Lockey said he would NOT punch that bear in the face! It was pretty funny, and we were really glad that we sang loudly as we walked and walked and walked... No bear is going to mess w/ a couple of Canadians singing Christmas Carols in October (I think after Karaoke they just stuck... and they are the only songs we both know all the way through.... other than Primary songs, which we also sang).<br />
<br />
After finishing my Chocoring at the zoo we headed off for our flight, which went smoothly and normally, with no extra treats... BUT Lockey did humour me, and would all of a sudden stop and act surprised and say "What? It's your birthday? I didn't know it was your birthday! Happy Birthday!" Or he would break into the happy birthday song, and he did this over and over just to see me smile. <br />
<br />
Oh I also forgot that the night before he took me out for dinner, and we got pepper lunch in a random alley, and then went for a hot chocolate, my fall and winter indulgence, and I got a cake pop, which I'd never had, and am now in love with! And on the way up to the starbucks (Which was on the 8th floor of a building) we went through the jewelry section where Lockey found a store that he thought would be my style and even found earrings that he thought I would like. And I did, so he got to buy me a present after all. (I figured that the trip and the Chocoring were good enough!) <br />
<br />
So anyways, back to the airport, random story. As we are eating dinner at the airport Lockey all of a sudden says "can you hear the music?" So I stop and listen and then all of a sudden I realize that it is "I Know That My Redeemer Lives" and then the next song is "Abide With Me"... and then some Lady Gaga and Katy Perry started playing... It was so random and kind of cool to hear that, I'm sure that one of the employees just had their iPod put on shuffle or something, but it was cool to hear that all the way in the Tokyo airport. <br />
<br />
All in all, it was a great 2 day birthday as I got to celebrate on the 25th in Japan (Which was the 24th in Canada and the day that my adorable nephew Lucas Kayden was born, this will be the only year we ever got to celebrate "together" and we were halfway across the world!) and then on the 26th in Hong Kong because it was the 25th in Canada and that's when everyone sent me lots of loving birthday messages. It's great to feel loved and realized how many friends and family you have! Thanks everyone for a great birthday, especially Lockey! <br />
