    Phew, it’s been a bit of a whirlwind the past few days…. I would write more, but I’m exhausted. Instead, I will just post some pics: [shashin type=”photo” id=”4789,4790,4791,4792,4793,4794,4795,4796,4797″ size=”small” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”]

    I feel like I have returned to my days of full-time studies the past day or so. First, I arrived on Tuesday night and got settled in. Then, yesterday I spent about 11 hours at the Pennsylvania Convention Center for the Doctoral Student Forum. It was a good day overall, if not exhausting! Tis all…

    _1Q84_ by Haruki Murakami I am not actually sure what prompted me to purchase this book on my iPhone Kindle, but when I was searching for something to read in the future, this title kept coming up. So, I figured I would give it a try. Although Murakami is quite popular, I have only managed…

    In general, if I haven’t planned prior to traveling, I basically do whatever the mood strikes when I am actually on the trip. This makes things easier for me as I either plan or plan to be spontaneous. 😛 Since my main purpose for coming to Toronto was to visit with my friends, Shu &…

    Jet lag hasn’t been so bad considering the amount of flying I did, but it still exists…. Although I woke up at 5am with some dozing until about 10am, Shu and I still managed to walk from Howland through Little Italy to Queens Way to Chinatown to Kensington Market area and back home again. It…

    My first full day in Toronto has been pretty relaxed. We had a relaxed start, but still on the early side as I’m kind of used to getting started around noon, not when it is still morning…. 😉 [shashin type=”photo” id=”4671,4672,4673,4674″ size=”small” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] So, we headed down to St. Lawrence market, which is…

    Surprisingly, I am awake at a ‘normal’ time (8:00am) after taking a 12.5 direct flight AUH – JFK and then after a 4-hour layover was on a 1.5hour flight JFK – YYZ. The flight to New York from Abu Dhabi was fairly painless in the grand scheme of things. However, nearly 12 hours of two…

    Well, remember back when I wrote saying that I was waiting to hear back from someone I had found on Facebook about being my 2nd or first US foster mother? It was her!!! She wrote back and I have replied. It seems surreal. I actually have no memory whatsoever of this person, but from the…

    I am wondering if this falls under ‘Adoption Journey’ or if I should be starting a new thread entitled ‘The Search’…? Anyway, I guess it all runs together in the end as MY LIFE! So, the latest – Three days ago now, I received an email from the social worker in Korea. She said that…

    Well, the juice diet continues…. We are starting to figure out the best process for juicing. It’s quite a bit of work to prepare juices for all your meals. There’s a lot of washing, peeling and then juicing, plus the clean-up afterwards that is required. It’s more work than cooking a meal each night! Both…
