ME, ME, and more MEEEEEEE!: August 2007
http://marisa-peek.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
ME, ME, and more MEEEEEEE! Friday, 17 August 2007. Last days in Shanghai. Another week has passed in a blur with cramming Mandarin and all sorts of Tourist madness. Time is flying by and it seems as though there's never enough time to see and do everything! 2 nights ago we went to see an Acrobat Show. Winfried, Sandra and I (the Summer Study Tour students) had front row tickets to see China's Best Acrobatic Show (aren't they all? Guangzhou had hippos and monkeys though. that's hard to beat. Last night Sa...

ME, ME, and more MEEEEEEE! Saturday, 26 May 2007. Australia - the Marisa Way! I thought I'd do another little summary of all my activities / experiences/ sights in Oz! If I didn't keep track I'd probably forget half the things I've done and seen. and then what would I tell Roger's Grandkids? Monorail (again, and again, and again! Rugby Match - Sydney Roosters v Manly Sea Eagles. The Blue Mountains and the World's steepest railway ride. Ballet at Opera House - Don Quixote. Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake.

ME, ME, and more MEEEEEEE! Friday, 14 March 2008. Glaciares, Glaciers, Ice Everywhere! Won't bore you with all the many many details, mainly because I don't remember them. Thickness, width, length, advancing, receding, blue ice, black ice, etc etc etc. Instead, I will just shut up and let the pictures do the talking. then again, you probably had to be there for the full effect (nah nah nana naaaah! We passed the Romanche Glacier,. Italy Glacier, and last - but not least -. I loved this blog. 73 Stand on ...

ME, ME, and more MEEEEEEE!: Pia Glacier - up close and personal

ME, ME, and more MEEEEEEE! Friday, 14 March 2008. Pia Glacier - up close and personal. OK, I officially love, LOVE, LOOOOOOOOVVVEEEE this trip! Of cards, which had my mother and brother chortling. However, fate is fickle, and they both soon felt the cruelty of "no green card because Marisa's holding them all in her hands" and had to draw, and draw, and draw. Who's laughing now? End quote. Har har har. Ewwwwww. Yes, BINGO, the lack of resemblance strikes again. Unfortunately, I patiently explained...Pia G...

ME, ME, and more MEEEEEEE! Tuesday, 18 March 2008. Ushuaia - Really The End of the World. After an evening of Bingo (I lost), Trivia Reveal (we lost. though the answers were wrong and the quizmaster told me in a weak moment that we had the same amount of points as the winners, not that I'm competitive.), and just general revelry to celebrate a great trip - we moored overnight in Ushuaia port. Kind of a let-down after all the rocky eventful nights at sea! Having spent 10 minutes at the top realising it wa...

ME, ME, and more MEEEEEEE!: My new (humble) abode... complete with pets!

ME, ME, and more MEEEEEEE! Tuesday, 15 September 2009. My new (humble) abode. complete with pets! Welcome to my humble abode. Apartment 2002, room G. Since I arrived a week before the rest of the plebs, I made them give me a choice of rooms. In other words, I kicked up a fuss as soon as I saw room G and my - eeeeek - shared bathroom. This caused Joyce to call Amy over from the school. Unfortunately, G comes with a shared bathroom with F. The inhabitant of F is a lovely German girl called Eva. She...I was...

ME, ME, and more MEEEEEEE! Saturday, 28 April 2007. Part 6: Kalgoorlie (Superpit) - Perth. Sothis morning we got up, had a leisurely breakfast, drove to Subway to pick up lunch for the 8 hour drive ahead, took one last look at Kalgoorlie and then headed for the highway to Perth. Despite my single-minded obession over the last 9 days accompanied with frequent (ladylike) grunts of "Superpit, Yeah! With a Texan accent, while wearing my cowboy hat), I nearly missed it! Nice one. Classic in fact. :). Each of ...

ME, ME, and more MEEEEEEE! Thursday, 29 March 2007. Time flies when you're in Sydney! And I think it loves me too! Its amazing what a little retail therapy and a big city can do. :) Although I've been here three times before, it's never dull and there's always more to do. Also helps that you know exactly where everything is and how to get there. I did a few bushwalks while there to earn my lunch, waterfalls and cliffs aplenty! We saw the famous "3 Sisters" Rock formation near Katoomba in the heart of the...

ME, ME, and more MEEEEEEE! Wednesday, 27 June 2007. Happy Valley, an evening of races and lost moolah! Happy Valley, sounds innocent and quaint - kind of like Adventure Land in Disney-speak. And just like in Disney, everything looks magical when lit just so. Then we moved onto the races at Happy Valley race track on Hong Kong Island - LOTS of fun! Unfortunately, that was also the only time I won anything. Having been persuaded to bet on every race, I proceeded to lose a bundle (10 quid total). P. Definit...
