Hi Mandy,
You took some awesome pictures! Also thanks for sharing the detailed info. for journey to China. Just thinking of you and I will live on your blog to see how things are going. This is all new to me you know? Is this where I am to send to messages in the future, through the blog?? Don’t Laugh.
Looking forward to talking to you soon.
Love
Ms. Lorraine
This is where you will be able to contact me, or you can email me at ar242571@albany.edu … I can access both my blog and email safely here in Chengdu… but as expected, facebook is not accessible… love ya and miss ya
I also want to see pics of your room and the university. Did you know there is a “Hooters” restaurant in Chengdu? Supposedly the food taste the same as here…another option if you want American. BTW the meaning is lost in the translation…Hooters means owl there. Saw a documentary this week about China.
I am so happy your transition from the US to China is going well. This is sooo awesome! While reading your blogs, I felt almost like i was there with you. Thank you for sharing your experiences and the beautiful pictures. It’s great to see you, and know your having a blast. i’m glad you have transportation(lol). I want to see it too. It took me a minute to connect with you. I couldn’t enter the blog site(i feel Sis Lorraine). I encourage you to welcome every great experience in your time there. I know you’ll make the most of it. I and my best friend want nothing but the best for you. I’ll keep in touch. Love ya!
So excited to hear from you!!! I’m glad you’ve enjoyed reading my blog… China is great… I’m really having a wonderful time! I will definitely start taking more pictures!!! China is beautiful in so many ways!!!! Miss you! and Love you… I hope Adreem gave you that hug that I asked her to give you for me last time I saw her… Tell her I say hi!
MORE PICTURES, PLEASE!!!!! Pop pop’s last Sunday in PA was today. We went down for his and Judy’s Goodbye Dinner. Craig, Leslie, Keith and Donna were all there too. They said hi. Hugs and kisses…missing you soooooooo much!
Hello Mandy,
I was thinking of you and wanted to see how things are going? I think of you daily but, finally took the time to stop and send you a message. I miss you and know you are having an awesome experience. I guess it should be around 10:20pm there? What are you doing for fun? I know you are hitting the books but, you have to have some U time. Please share when you get a chane.
Love
Mrs. Lorraine
Cool pictures of the Sichuan Opera. May I give you a suggestion? Break up your photos into different sections like Fettuccine section. It is taking a while to load up all the photos. Plus, we can go right to the photos we haven’t seen. Love you lots!!! XOXOXO
Just thinking about you, and continuing to speak that all is well and marvelous with you over there. I am really living China vicariously through your experiences and pictures. Thanks for the journey and the vacation. I almost can’t keep up. All I can see and say is AWESOME!!!!!
Hey 蓝若雅.
I am Jerry Christerry on FB. I see how crazy you are about China! Are you still in Chengdu? I am from Wuhan. I am now doing viticulture & oenology in Napier, New Zealand. I just wanna say hi and encourage you to learn more. How’s going on with you?
Hoping to make a nice friend!
Take care
Hey Mandy,
How are you? I miss you so much. I viewed your pictures and you look so happy. I love the picture with you in the baby blue dress. Next time I receive a call from a strange number I will answer. Is there anyway I can call you? I will admit that I have a new laptop but, am having difficulties accessing skype. TJ tried to help me but, we are too much alike. He gave up on hope for me with the skype. LOL. I look forward to hearing from you soon. I could never forget you. I just want one smile from you, that would make my day. When will you return to the U.S.?
I Love You
Mrs. Lorraine
As I make my journey to China, I plan to document my way through this blog. For those of you who would like to personally contact me, my skype name is MandarinOranges70. I will miss you all dearly, and cannot wait to share the exciting things that happen within the next year abroad. I love you all.

Is the model really that tall?
Sep 16, 2010 @ 04:05:29
No she wasnt that tall… she was standing on a box… unfair advantage if you ask me…
