our dear Francis

how can you not love a man that can rock a bum bag while dominating a hula hoop under a tacky chandelier?? 

more farewells...

Living in Phuket I have experienced a transient expat community...that hasn't made it any easier when people leave here in Mongolia.  This town attracts a crazy mix of personalities and one of the best things about living here is the friends I have around me.  JL and Tabs left last night on the train to Russia and Anna and Francis leave on Saturday.  We worked out our frustrations the only way we knew how and that is on the d-floor...

back to the Mong

Beijing bonanza

So life got in the way of my blog and I was very behind in my minimum commitment of at least a photo a day.  So my solution to this problem is a guest post from my house mate Liz.  She thinks her blog is copyright but if the internet has taught me anything copy and paste is my friend...and I'm sure Liz will be happy with a few extra hits on her page!

little sisters bday...

Happiest of birthdays to my gorgeous little sister.  The older you get the older I get and I don't like it.

I hate that I am so far away during this very momentous year for you...I know you will do so well in year 12 (and drive our mother crazy in the mean time).

I miss you and love you xx

Liz is back...and look what she brought us from Oz.  Not sure how many laws she broke but who cares...

happy bday at the childrens park yo!!!

To celebrate K birds actual birth date we at banana pancakes and take away burgers and spent the day at the very dangerous childrens park in UB.  Many of the rides have been donated by various countries who probably deemed them unsafe to the general public.  Living life on the edge in the childrens park yo!
