Hmm, nice site, seems a little bit easier to get around than xanga. Wow, some very cool pics there Alice. Sounds like you're having a ball there in Thailand! Keep us updated. :)

Meanwhile, I'm having an absolutely fantastic time out working in the vineyards! (Lol, not actually, although it's not too bad really, plenty of interesting people to chat with and the break over christmas to look forward to as an incentive.)

See ya later. :)

wow, ur in US for a very long time! i will def try come to see u, somehow. lol.
in ohio doing an internship at ohio state university, working in a research lab. it's absolutely awesome! the job is boring, most of the time, but the ppl are awesome... so that kinda evens it out.
anyway, will plan the trip nearer to the date. in the meantime, enjoy thailand! take care

How does one eat green mangoes? Bet they are not as nice as all that juice from soft ones running down one's chin...
Interesting about the yellow...

Cheers Mira!! More pics will come, don't worry!

Hey Alice

Good to hear that you have a bed and everythings going good. Nice pics but we wanna see more!

Take care and be blessed

PS: Dates in US are 3 Jan - 30 June (possibly longer if I decide to extend my stay).

SARAH!! Great to hear from ya!! You DEFINITELY should visit me in sunny California, you know you want to! I would LOVE to see you, and you're very welcome to stay at my place (hopefully we're allowed guests; if not, I can smuggle you in! :P).

Hey Alice, it's awesome to hear what Thailand is like!

This STA Travel website is confusing to me. Maybe it's because I haven't used it much.

Keep updating your Xanga though!

To Ping: HEY!! Long time, no hear. How's life in the UK?? Would luv to catch up, though I'm not there for long - in London 1-2 Jan then off... You wanna arrange to meet up then?

Hopefully you see this cos I'm being lazy and commenting back rather than emailing. LOL.

To Liv: What! How did she manage to alter it!!

Don't worry Liv, I feel your pain, it must be such a sacrifice having to share your house with her and all...

Kidding - she's a great gal and you're lucky to have her stay with you! (I'm jealous, wish she lived with me! But then she'd have to be in Thailand right now and that could get difficult logistically...)

To Rach: Thanks for ya comment! :)

Hey alice,
excuse my posting that rachel may have "altered" below...believe it or not i don't like calling myself liver....
hope you're having an awesome time and don't get too jealous of the rest of us who have to stay in the thriving city of kerikeri (doing exams i might add)
Love an Hugs,
Liv xx
