::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

Thursday, November 02, 2006 Little Chinese Girls Chasing Rainbows in a Pile of Golden Leaves Phew – ToddlerJi has gone to bed so I am allowed to write on the computer now. She is very demanding of our after work time together. I cant complain – I love every minute of it. I have been crazy busy the last few days, there have been so many photos that I want to post for you but I haven’t had the chance: final exam is coming!! I actually only have one class left before the exam and the last three nights have been spent with my head buried in my books to complete our final project that is worth 50 percent of our mark. FREAKY! I actually know that I did really well as my teacher showed me before I left class last night. She didn’t have a score yet but I had no major mistakes, just minor stupid things. YAA!! So first is Halloween!!! ToddlerJi went to daycare dressed in her little Chinese Girl dress. She thought it was the best thing in the world and loved going up to people and saying – “Look!” Yes she is a show off.

Yaa! We headed straight over there and bought it. Haven’t picked it up yet though as it is POURING RAIN OUT! Driving home today after work I barely broke 90kms/hour on the freeway – it was my first heavy rain storm on the freeway in quite a few years so I was a little tense. My next big expenditure is not actually going to be for the house (which we take possession of in only a few days) but on winter tires for my car. Ouch! Anyway, Sunday was a beautiful day, minus the freak snow storm that happened earlier that day,  Photo Sharing - Upload Video - Video Sharing - Share Photos and a perfect opportunity to take some photos of the amazing fall colours. The colours on the mountains are so amazing this time of year – it is like a post card around every corner. Wow!

Even ToddlerJi kept going “ooohhhhh”. It was a double rainbow and after we got home we both ran to get the camera and then ran out into the field across the road to take some photos.  Photo Sharing - Upload Video - Video Sharing - Share Photos It was a perfect picture day in the land called “Rainbow country”. Seriously we care called “Rainbow country”. This is just one of the many benefits of living in a rain forest. Technorati Tags: Chinese Girls Chasing Rainbows in a pile of golden leaves
