Hi Clara! Yes, you are right -- it is Book Crossing. My mind drew a blank when I tried to recall the correct name. It's a neat concept! Have you picked up anyone elses "releases"? I haven't done either...yet.

I will heed your advice, expatgirl. I'll come when it's less humid, you're feeling up to cooking, and it's Amradillo off-season too. LOL They might nibble on the books. Not dog-eared pages but Armadillo-eared ones. Ah, I must need some sleep. LOL

LOL!!!!!!! Worker Bee, I really ought to send you a ticket to Kazakhstan where I return to next Saturday. My hubby tells me that he needs a jacket at night and that it only gets up to the 70's--low 80's during the heat of the day. It was a lot warmer last summer------hope this doesn't mean it's going to be a colder winter than last year as it got down to the -40's!!!!!!!! Books in English are VERY expensive over there and I actually saw a Reader's Digest priced at $15.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So your plane ticket would be nothing. And you wouldn't have to worry about armadillo meat------just hope that you have a fancy and hankering for Mr. Ed as horsemeat is in season ALL year! Ha!!

It's frequently -40 (celcius) here in the winter expatgirl. Strange though it may seem, I'm used to it so when it's the other extreme as was the case this summer, I find it oppressive.

Kazakhstan??? Well, why not? I've got to get outside of my comfort zone. If I stick around here long enough I may even be eating items from the "Unusual Foods" thread.

Now, I don't want to be an ingrate and offend my hosts, but Mr. Ed's not happening. Not on my plate, anyway. LOL

How do you occupy yourself while there? I hope you'll share some of your experiences with us.

Thanks for the link. I love free stuff. I like to check out Slick-deals.net because they have free stuff on there sometimes.

I love using freecycle to get rid of things, and I got a VCR from there too. There are some wacky listings though!

Oh, I have LOTS of stories that I will be happy to share with all of you. I'll save the funny Polar Bear Club stories when I have pictures to send along with them----you won't believe some of the things they do around here. It's really a nice country with a lot of very young enthusiastic people. The working women are an amazing group unto themselves and the literacy rate is in the 90th percentile. Amazing for a country that is considered 3rd world by some of our standards. Many children are being taught Kazakh, Russian, AND English. It's a country that the oil industry is keeping an eye on as they have huge reserves and a very stable government. Not the case in the Mideast, I'm afraid.
