I visited China few summers back and even though I studied mandarin for 3 years, I could barely communicate. Everyday felt like a bad day. Props to you for living there though!misssablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136629901525557699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-5480636224921722682009-02-02T09:43:00.000+08:002009-02-02T09:43:00.000+08:00Thanks for answering me!

I don't even think when I was 16 I was as interested in it as I am now. London is definitely in my long list of places to go and would love to visit it very soon. Perhaps after Ireland? Lets hope.<BR/><BR/>Thank you again.

So, throughout high school I worked part-time at Mc Donalds (the only job available when u are 16 years old I believe!) and when I graduated I had enough cash to go to London, where I continued working... yeah, it's a good idea to finish school first and then just... go to places that interests you.Jonna Wibeliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08954672453008704738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-75919054342235465622009-01-31T05:21:00.000+08:002009-01-31T05:21:00.000+08:00Does this woman in the picture have any significan...Does this woman in the picture have any significance to you? Do you know her? <BR/><BR/>For a long time, and still am, hoping to also become a "traveling gnome". However, I believe finishing school and earning some money first is in order. However, there is a chance that I will get the wonderful opportunity to visit Ireland next summer.<BR/><BR/>I hope your adventures continue to be inspiring and stimulating for you! :)<BR/><BR/>If you have any pointers for a traveling novice please share! :)burningDESIREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09203921140364893152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-39923467287958619602009-01-30T22:17:00.000+08:002009-01-30T22:17:00.000+08:00Congratulations!

When he moved from Korea to China, he started a new blog and made his old Korea posts into a book and sold it on his new site!(chinalife.typepad.com)<BR/><BR/>So of course you are an author, because you already have a book written.

I plan on doing the same with my family either once my son gets older or downright moves out. I have some friends from Stockholm and elsewhere in Sweden - great place, but a bit cold for my liking. Keep sharing your experiences - it'll prepare me for my plan on living in several different countries one day!Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01114969813591612601noreply@blogger.com
