Andrea's Rambling Notes - once from Japan, now from Canada

::Andrea's Rambling Notes - once from Japan, now from Canada::

My notes and my memories: sometimes about a mom - sometimes about a wife - sometimes about a woman - sometimes about our life

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.

Blog Surfing Recommendations

Really bored so blog surfing is starting.
I did a little bit the other day as well and I found a few blogs that I recommend you check out once and a while. I think I am going to add them to my links list soon.

The first is a lovely woman from Jamaica. It is amazing how we all experience the same ups and downs regardless of what country we are living in. She calls her blog:
On The Edge Of War

Another young lady I found is Asatteka. She is going to school and studying English in Washington, USA. The state not the city. Her English is very good already and she has some great views of the world. She calls her blog:
Asatteka’s Message

Then there is one that I will probably add to my ‘Hmmm Blogs’. This guy is from India and he calls his blog Gender Politics. But he is writing with a very different view being from a different culture and religion than what I am used to. It is interesting. Don’t know if I agree with all but another view helps to fill in the gray spots a little.

So if you are bored check them out, leave a comment and keep them part of our blogging world of craziness. We are a different type of community. I know some never seen before bloggers better than some of my childhood friends.
That is a little sad.

HEY! Maybe more of my friends should start their own blog!! HINT!

Cheri – the hells of the adoption process, the wait and the great adventure after. There is a WHOLE community of bloggers sharing their feelings about this.
Heather – you have so much you need to get out. This can help. Helps me.
Cori – the doggy kids of course!! Horses, dogs, cats, husbands and soon to have human children. Sounds good.
