This is an account from 2012 (approximately), the first time I visited the Waugh street bridge was with my parents on our way to Austin for my a family wedding. Needless to say, the experience was long, but necessary. We drove for about 2 days, and spent about a week in the states overall. We left Canada from the border of Buffalo, New York. We were travelling with a family car, sedan. nothing breath-taking, but quite relaxing and comfortable for the kind of drive we were doing. Nearly a decade later, my family (now including my wife) returned, only this time we were arriving in Austin to visit my Uncle and Aunt after the birth of their first son (figure 1and 2). This was my wife's first time visitng the United States. (Figure 1, Sam, Carm and Lily) (Figure 2, Carm and Lily) All the trip and details aside, I wanted to take a moment to recognize the nature of this place in Austin Texas. This particular bat colony is one of the biggest in North America, (see included images fo...
A fever of 103.5 Fahrenheit, what do you do; you are in china, fairly alone, feel like you can overcome it but start to get kind of worries because it has been getting worse? Last night I took my chances and made my first and hopefully last visit to the emergency room here in jinshitan, it is on the barbecue street just around the corner from Suzan's. I had this angelic and incredibly sweet nurse Lushun who took right good care of me, she help me get everything I needed and got me comfortably hooked up to the healing process. I still don't fully understand what I have, probably the flu, and I still don't know what was in the iv or shots I got, meh, next day I am in my own bed and bl feeling a but better, granted I felt a bit better the first time I got this fever and took a rest :s Stupid sickness screwed up my last get together with my girlfriend before she leaves for Florida today, she was having none of it, she said I wasn't allowed to cook with such a high fever las...
Where to begin... Amazing woman, beautiful traditional Chinese attitude :) great for having around when this outlander can't figure out red from black, well actually I know hong and hei :p We randomly met through the assistance of a student whose father was a friend of a friend, haven't looked back since. She has taught me how to cook traditional Chinese and darn, she is good! We have many adventures to come and much more to learn about each other, it is hard to believe that this small amount time spent together has brought us this close :) She is an experienced educator and former tour guide, so not only is she awesome at teaching me Chinese but she is also probably quite awesome to travel with (especially if she is really into all the same things I am into when I travel, thrills, food and fun). When I met Lily, I was seeing someone else. Then after we stopped seeing each other, Lily and I found that there was a certain attraction between us. I knew that her and I were going t...
