::Andrea's Rambling Notes - once from Japan, now from Canada::
::Author::  Name::Andrea From::Small city/town, B.C., Canada I am a short girl from the west cost of BC, Canada and I am a proud Canadian. I went to Japan in 2000 because my Dad told me I would regret it for the rest of my life if I didn't. He was right. I lived a good life found my husband from the other side of the world and have a beautiful daughter. Basically we lead a pretty normal life filled with normal ups and downs. We both come from different cultures: me Canadian, him Chinese. Living in Japan was a real eye opener about who I am and about the people I associate myself with. I lived and loved in Japan but the time to move on came upon us and in May of 2006 we left and moved to Canada: a huge move for us all. We are now trying to start up again, remodel our lives and create our future for our family. I now feel like a tourist in the country of my birth, my eyes see different and my life will be forever changed. This blog is my notes and observations of our life, our changes, our adventures and new beginnings. Welcome. View my complete

Wednesday, March 24, 2004 Here is an interesting BBC site on World Migration. I find the BBC wed site quite informative. The CBC is also excellent with some excellent links. The CBC won an award for their set up and they deserved it personally. The CNN site is not overly well set up and personally a little biased. I learn more about the world from the other two sites. It was around October of last year that I decided on my new years resolution - MEMEMEMEMEME!!! Basically it was to add a few more vitamins to my diet and a bit more exercise. I am proud to say that I have kept this resolution. I take my multi-vitamin as well as my extra doss of vitamin B to help me with my always present stress. I have also found a calcium pill that does not make me sick and have improved my intake of yogurt to help with the calcium problem. Being allergic to milk can really suck. I have also been going to the gym a few times a week and even though it feels good my weight has not changed a single pound. I am killing myself on the stair climber and rowing machine with only a TINY bit of weights put in. CARDIO has been my moto. Hasn*t bloody worked though. But I am not quitting I am sticking to it and am actually quite proud of my self. Well part of my change has been to guzzle a lot more water. I dont drink as much as I should, I know but I am making an effort to try. The problem is that I did inherit a terrible bladder from moms side of the family and I dont forgive her for that. UGH! This has brought on a new realization as to how odd my body is - green tea gives me an odd reaction. Now I like green tea and it is very healthy for you but I have discovered that within approximately 2 minutes of having finished only a half a tea cup of green tea my bladder if about to explode. It is IMMEDIATE. Not a good situation when you are teaching. Hehhe The plus side is that this saves money on cranberry juice as it is blastedly expensive over here.
