Tonya2India... again!: Rickshaw!
http://tonya2india-again.blogspot.com/2009/12/rickshaw.html
Thursday - 8pm IST. I got my auto-rick “fix” today. About 60 cents will get you across town with an open-cab view of the city on the back-side of a glorified motorcycle pulling a built-on shell of a two-seater cab. My Retail Diva is eager for me to have something stitched – and it would be rude of me not to accept her hospitality. (. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tonya2ChIndia: Where do you begin when you're this far behind?
http://tonya2chindia.blogspot.com/2008/11/where-do-you-begin-when-youre-this-far.html
Sunday, November 2. Where do you begin when you're this far behind? Haven’t really updated you since I arrived in India… I have been working a LOT of hours here and there hasn’t been much room for ‘play’ yet. Lucky me, though, I get to celebrate the holidays three times this year! Fireworks. Lots and lots of fireworks. I wake to them every day… and I am lulled to sleep by their snap-crackle-pop. [ Well, either that. or the 14-16hr workdays. :-) ]. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A stitch in time.

Tonya2ChIndia: And now, a word from our sponsors.
http://tonya2chindia.blogspot.com/2008/11/and-now-word-from-our-sponsors.html
Sunday, November 2. And now, a word from our sponsors. This is, of course, a work trip. And I avoid talking too much about work (as I’ve said – what idiot would want to hear THOSE stories)? So – to back up a bit… my. 8220;Martha Stewart Toolbelt 2008 World Tour”. Has been extended: I packed up my power drill and caulk gun and moved them from China to India! Still interested in the screaming gaggle of ganders? My local colleague who told me to bring my camera assured me that those guys had “natural ...

Tonya2Tokyo: July 2008
http://tonya2tokyo.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
The Quest for Godzilla". Sunday, July 6. Goodbye, dear Tokyo. I will return. I never did find Godzilla – despite asking at every souvenir shop across the city. The response was always: “Godzirra? 8221; I tried “lizard”… I tried “dragon”… A few times I was offered a fighting dragon reminiscent of the old Asian legends – but never a Godzilla. Near as I can figure, ‘Hello Kitty’ ran him out of town. Saturday, July 5. Mountains, Lakes, and Bullets. From Station 5 it’s about a twelve-hour climb to the t...

Tonya2ChIndia: October 2008
http://tonya2chindia.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 26. My Passage to India. The three sweetest words in the Traveller’s Language:. And my South Indian coffee… I like the food here so much because (with a touch more spice variety), it’s very much like southern food in America: fried and heavy on the potatoes. Of course I love it! Just took me a return trip to figure it out. Debut I couldn’t adore the team more – what a cute bunch they are! Tracy (my godsend for the week – what a trooper! There’s nothing she couldn’t coordinate! In July, I ...

They said you were back. Wednesday – 7am IST. US Secret Service) and monitoring and communicating my every move… including when the Diet Coke can has run dry. Many folks at home ask if I feel safe when I travel – and I do. But being here reminds me that I could never be in harm’s way, because if I were out of sight for more than ten minutes, they’d be issuing an Amber Alert! They said you were back.

Tonya2China: Well.... here we GO!
http://tonya2china.blogspot.com/2008/02/i-leave-early-tomorrow-morning-on.html
Thursday, February 14, 2008. Well here we GO! I leave early tomorrow morning on another wonderful (work-sponsored flight) journey! It’ll take nearly 30hrs of travel time to reach my initial destination of Beijing. We have a company holiday on Monday, so I wasn’t about to travel 30hrs across Tues/Wed for meetings at the end of next week… (No disrespect intended for my highly-respected colleagues I’ll be meeting up with after my “touring” is completed! But I gotta SEEEEEEE some things! The time difference ...

Tuesday, February 19, 2008. Day 3 Morning - Summer Palace and Beijing’s Giant Pandas. But this is winter.

Tonya2China: February 2008
http://tonya2china.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 20, 2008. PS All luggage arrived intact. I'm home free now! Last Day in Beijing. My guide, Rina, said we had seen the whole city… She said if I had stayed another day, that we’d have to go out to the ‘burbs to see how the non-city folks live… We started the morning late since there were only a couple of stops on the itinerary – which was fine by me, as I had packing to do. So – here’s the silk story. After my silk shopping soiree (and a soiree it was! As in: “Like my new pearls? They ...

Sunday, November 2. Yes, Denise – that one’s for you! 8211; a political figure that was the 12th Prime Minister of India and the former Chief Minister of Karnataka, is still head of the Janta Dal (Secular) political party, and reportedly owns more than half the acreage in the State of Karnataka. So you know what happened, folks: I was on a mission! We finished our breakfast snack and didn’t know whether he was napping back there in the Special People Zone or what? My friends swear he was smiling (?
