There is never any shortage of street food in Asian countries, it’s just a matter of finding the good ones. Just so you know, we never did try this one.

Yesterday about 25 guys left riding a motorized bicycle up to Dandong (near the North Korea boarder) From what I believe this is over 300 km away. Mom, Dad Colorado and I did it when they were here for a visit, but we did it in a vehicle and it took us almost 3.5 hours to get there.

There has been lots of preparation to go with this ride, fine tuning of the bikes, lots of visits to the “bike guy’, lots of talk and I think a little bit of shakings of the head..

Now I can’t explain half of what there journey will be like, and if your interested you can take a look at the link below - the guy from the Engleson Files is the reason this tour is happening, and in his blog it will explain the route, the timeline and anything else you might be interested in.

More information on TourDeDandong.

The girls and I were at the send off yesterday, here are some pictures.

The official tshirt provided for the Tour.

Most of the guys were arriving from this direction, but I caught a picture of some random man riding by on his bike (not motorized)

Our Nadia had a ZEN birthday party on April 24th, we celebrated 6 days early.

I know this sounds crazy….. a sleep over with 10 girls was absolutely ZEN like.

All these pictures are in backwards order, I have been trying to change it since last night and can’t seem to do it.

This past Chinese New Year, we went traveling to Burma, but first we stayed for a week in Thailand, stayed at the good ol’ - Atlanta and then off to Myanmar.

Here are a few pic’s that speak for themselves.
We can get a lot of mileage out of the girls when we stay in a hotel with a pool.

Well the great families in Jinshitan have invited the families and friends to come celebrate with them this year. Time to run, eat, find some chocolates, visit and enjoy the sunshine.

Enjoy the pic’s

Here’s Ava and Mischa waiting to hear the next clue

It has passed – the very last episode of the series that changed the way the world looked at Canadian programming.

Corner Gas aired its series finale Monday night - April 13, much to the chagrin of die-hard fans everywhere.

The premier of Saskatchewan has even declared April 13 Corner Gas Day.

Thanks to B.A. for sending us the DVD’s from Canada so we could watch this great show.

You’ll be missed - Corner Gas crew

We started out the day decorating Easter eggs, this was Mischa’s first year decorating, she wanted to drink the dye cause it was such a pretty color. Luckily she didn’t.
