Wow. It's been like. Forever since I touched this thing. Probably a bad time too, since I have to scoot off for tuition in about an hour, but I was looking through examples of journal writing for my student, and suddenly I missed this

Welcome back! I'm pretty sure there are a lot of factors that make us quite sheltered and that's the reason why I don't like complaining about things so often (unless I go insane when I'm doing my work then that is another thing altogether) but for instance if I were to talk about our living conditions, I don't like mentioning much about it because in comparison to a number of countries out there? We're very lucky.

Also, we're in a pretty good spot so we haven't experienced any major natural disasters. The worst we've suffered from are floods which aren't that damaging entirely. We're truly blessed. And lol don't worry I love reading your entries! They're really eloquent and well put together. p(*_*)q

Yeah, we really are; I'm especially grateful for the no-guns policy. No offense to the Americans reading this, but guns just freak me out. I was walking down the street from the hotel to the mall, and there was a soldier every 200m with a rifle, all back from the war with nothing else to do but be security for VIPs and important places. I couldn't stop surreptitiously staring at them, it was so surreal.

Pfffft, you. X) Also, are you going to cosfest this weekend?

I love you anyway you h00r. >:

AND OH GOD YOU JUST REMINDED ME. I got an elephant figurine and a book on Sigiriya for you from Sri Lanka, so I'll have to get your address. :D Kick me to pack it all up though. :| I always end up not sending people things because I keep forgetting to get stamps and bubble-envelopes.

Ohh hey, you went to my other home XD. Heehehe y'know I did live there through the war and all, and half my family is still there.

Nuwara Eliya is nice, if you don't mind the cold. I just hate the journey up there cos the winding roads give me motion sickness. Bleh. Where else did you go? Next time, go with me. I can give you the local's tour ;)

I'll be at Cosfest, will you? Look out for the Warblers XD

[cellardoorsky]

Yeah, I remember! ... Only near the end of the trip though. XD;; I was suddenly all, "... oh, Jo's from here!" But I have to say, it was weird being like, the only Chinese on a street full of Sinhalese and Tamil people :|

Are you kidding me? I love the cold. ;w; The morning at the tea plantation was freaking fantastic (although I got freaked out by shadows that aren't supposed to be there). The road up was okay, it was the road down that was horribly bumpy and nauseating. >: First stop was Colombo, 'cos my dad's friend is situated there, and then we went up, past Kandy (typical tourist route I know), to Nuwara Eliya, and then back down to the beach at Beruwala. X) It was a very fun vacation.

I will! :D See you there!
