http://lucky97laura.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
A Drama Queen's Quest to Bring Laughter to the Youth in Asia. Monday, June 20, 2011. Wherein Laura realized that she is not meant for final frontiers. This is a very tardy post about my Easter holiday in Xinjiang , China, with my pal Daniel. I can't resist calling him Daniel-san, even though he is not Japanese and has never seen. Anyway, here are some people we met:. Yes, we met these people in China. Yes, they are Chinese. Shortest History Lesson Ever:. Bottom line: Xinjiang is NOT the China we see on TV.

A Drama Queen's Quest to Bring Laughter to the Youth in Asia. Friday, April 22, 2011. Sometimes, the gold at the end of the rainbow sucks. This is a small peek into the way I process things. Before I begin, I suppose I should mention that I've decided to leave HK forever this summer. Don't dwell- it had to happen someday and I don't have answers to your questions. To keep me interested. Keep me striving. This is what Finding Froot Loops has been all about. Wednesday, April 13, 2011. So, when the feedback...

Digging to China: October 2010

A Drama Queen's Quest to Bring Laughter to the Youth in Asia. Thursday, October 28, 2010. Return to the ROC - aka the Real China. The tourist slogan of Taiwan, and an absolute guarantee to those who visit this magical land. With the exception of Shenzhen, Taipei is the only place in Asia that I've ventured back to for another round, so you know it's gotta be good. For the record, Shenzhen is not good, I just like buying totally legitimate DVDs. The first: hot spring culture. When the effect of the hot sp...

Digging to China: November 2010
http://lucky97laura.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
A Drama Queen's Quest to Bring Laughter to the Youth in Asia. Thursday, November 18, 2010. How old are you, 5? Oh, right, sorry. Recognizing these signs of despair, I handed him a tissue from a tissue packet. He accepted the rectangular folded tissue in his unsoiled hand and then just held it helplessly. It was then that I realized his mom or his maid or whoever had always unfolded the tissue for him- a folded tissue was no use to him, like trying to sleep in a rolled-up sleeping bag. Here, let me.".

Digging to China: May 2010
http://lucky97laura.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
A Drama Queen's Quest to Bring Laughter to the Youth in Asia. Tuesday, May 25, 2010. Weekends in the Shenz. Rosie is a tailor who was recommended to me by several acquaintances in HK. For foreigners, unless they are 10 year old boys, shopping for clothes in HK is a nightmare. HK people have a much smaller frame than we do, and if you do find something in your size, half of HK owns the exact same thing in blue. How cool is that? The downside to this scenario: someone asked me recently if I have any hobbie...

Digging to China: December 2010
http://lucky97laura.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
A Drama Queen's Quest to Bring Laughter to the Youth in Asia. Tuesday, December 7, 2010. Women of the world: listen up! I am diverting from my usual Hong Kong/Asia travel topics to write something quite personal in response to recent events in my life. This is dedicated to all the amazing women I know, who are many. As some of you know, dating in Hong Kong for Western women can be very difficult. I could write a book about why we can't work it out with Chinese men (in fact, here is a blog. After anger ca...

Digging to China: March 2011
http://lucky97laura.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
A Drama Queen's Quest to Bring Laughter to the Youth in Asia. Tuesday, March 8, 2011. I may have been Indian in a former life. There are places in the world where I feel more like myself. I see myself, or a part of myself, reflected in my surroundings. I understand more intuitively what happens around me because it's a part of me; I learn significant lessons in these places that stay with me and impact my life. For me, this was India. Here are some highlights:. Bombay: a buzzing city of contrasts. Overal...

Digging to China: September 2010
http://lucky97laura.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
A Drama Queen's Quest to Bring Laughter to the Youth in Asia. Wednesday, September 29, 2010. Post title, of course, courtesy of trying-too-hard Malaysia tourism adverts. I went to Kuala Lumpur last fall and liked it, so I opted to explore another part of Malaysia for my 5 day let's-avoid-work-as-long-as-possible break, and I decided on Kota Kinabalu (KK). As usual, this was a solo trip (see post on flaky friends. Enter Ming and Ivy. Enjoy your stay/the rest of your trip.". Wow, you teach Drama? I hope we...
