Such a nice surprise to hear from you - hope all is going well in Sydney, and no doubt will see on my return home around the traps! Take care jo
From Marney
I think this is what people call a real adventure! Looks like you are having a fantastic time. Maybe someone could mail Tiny to you so he could enjoy the fun too! Lots of love M xxx
Response: Hey Miss Marney Moo,
Yes, Tiny is missing out, but not long and he will be here with Chris - seven weeks, yeah! Think of you, and think you're going back home soon so might miss you in Europe -boo hoo! Take care jojo
From Fiona Green
Hi Jo,
Nice to see my brother Dave is enjoying it all too! This is such a great website. It must take a great deal of time!
Say hello for me and I wish you all continued fantastic adventures! His little nephews say " Hi!!" as well.
Fiona
Response: Have passed your message onto Dave, and just up-dating my site now, so hopefully I can give you something else to read. Take Care Jo
From Marie
Hi Joanna
Have just explored your site and enjoyed your photos. What an amazing experience you are having. Your Mum & Dad will have a wonderful time, expecially in Mongolia. Looking at your photos makes me wish we hadn't changed our minds about joining them. Hope you all have a great time together, we'll be thinking of you. Keep safe and well.
Love
Marie
Response: Great to hear from you, and think about you and the gang often! William must be huge! It has taken me so long to reply that the parents are back and I'm sure you and Mum would have had a catch-up by now! Say hi to all. Take care Joanna
From Brad & Hayley
Hey Jo,
Great to hear you have arrived safe and having fun. I can now picture you travelling around the country side having just got back from my 6 week odesy to Europe with Hayley. I must admit, very jealous of your travels as i had such a great time when i was away (and nearly meet up with Chris at Monaco, we missed each other by a few days!) it is hard to get back into the swing of normal life and i assume you are having a blast.
As soon as we can save some more money we will be of again, and now that Hayley has just started a Job with Flight centre it might be sooner rather than later. We might even try and do a "stop over" in Mongolia and say g'day!!!
Take care
Love Brad & Hayley
Response: You're both welcome anytime, but as I can now feel the winter coming, I think unless you come tomorrow you'll be waiting until it heats-up again - in May next year!! Chris is heading here in November - just trying to plan a trip, and also where to buy the best long johns - hard work! Hope all is well in Australia. Take care jo
From Miriam
Dear Joe,
Just so you know, there are probably many "onlookers" who are part of your "fan-base" (like me) who haven't yet dared to post a message but are keeping track of you all the same! I guess you haven't seen a hockey stick over there yet? I'm still in France, and will be for another couple of years (haven't told Tim yet, Oh oh...) Looking forward with bated breath to your next insallation. Take care, Joe. Mim
Response: Great to hear from you, and actually, I have picked up a hockey stick- well, a type of hockey stick, have played one game and hopefully the hall will be fixed soon so I can play again. Heading to France early next year, as Chris is living/working there at the moment - so might bump into you! Take care, and make sure you tell Tim soon! Love jo
From Anthony
Hey Jo, only took me 3 months to work that out i can check messages on my planetranger site......love the yurts!...Anthony
Response: Good to see you're on top of it! Hope that Chris and I can make it to Japan next April - would love to visit again. Japanese is getting better again in Mongolia believe it or not, have met quite a few Mongolians who speak Japanese. So I'm speaking Japanese and no Mongolian in Mongolia - strange! Take care jo
From Daniela
Surprise!!! I know why you're getting so many hits- I go into your site now at least once a day, sometimes even twice. I love looking at the pictures and keep hoping there'll be more. Really stupid, I know, given that I know when you're putting more up, could look at my own photos or I can just look out my window and see everything there is to see... I'm a sucker for nostalgia
xxx
Response: At least now I've identified my number one fan - keep hitting as there could be some good benefits to being my biggest fan - not sure what, but I'll think of something, maybe a warm hug in winter!
From Daniela
joooooo,
I love the fact that you're doing this! I just sent out a mini-group email telling people to have a look. I hope you don't mind. See you later... (it's fun to say that when everyone else that writes can't!- sorry all)
xxx
Response: I'm finally posting your messages. Hope that your friends and family enjoy the page, and tell them more is to come...I promise! See you tonight for Indian!
From FP and Mum
Hi,
Have spoken to you lots so you know all the news but just wanted to say that we were blown away by the latest photos, so fascinating.
Can't believe that we will be there this time in three weeks time. Very excited and can hardly wait.
Really enjoyed reading Chris' page and seeing the pics too. So interesting and such a contrast to yours.
SEE YOU SOON!!
Lots of love,
FP and Mum.
Response: Well, you have been and gone, and I'm slow on this page thing! I loved having you here and were glad you were able to experience a piece of Mongolia with me. Your support has always been wonderful and I'm truly thankful. Anyway, don't need to write much more as I spoke to you today and I'm sure I'll speak to you again soon. Love Joanna
From Dezza
And of course they're not as nice as Belmore Street! C'mon Josie, touch x
From Dezza
Beijing looks f--king amazing! And I'm sure I've seen Daniela before...glad the time is flying and you're still enjoying yourself. I can see how Ulan might be a bit overbearing at times. Miss you Josie-frog x Derek
From Dezza
Hi Josie!!
Cool photos....just visited Christophe's site too and checked it out (looks like he's been having a blast). I really want to send you a proper email but seem to have the wrong address for you - the one I talk down on the phone must have been incorrect. Also, please send your number again. Sorry, Jojo, I'm sure I'm worse at this than you are. Lots of love, Dezza
Response: Oh, my little Meer Cat Derek. Three message all within the space of about 6 mins - liked the progressive messaging. Will send you an email with my phone number...soon. Called the other night to say hi, but neither you or Joshy were home. However, tried to help Paulie decide where to go for dinner instead - suggested Asakusa, but not sure if Paulie was impressed, maybe next time...Lots of love josie
From Patrice
Hey Jo,
Im so proud of you for doing what you're doing. Love the website too.
Emailed Chris the other day. Offered up couch accommodation at Hotel Wandsworth (!) for him if he comes through London.
Stay safe ok chick? I'll be keeping a close eye on your adventures!
Love, Patrice
Response: So great to hear from you - seems like a lifetime ago that we started together, doesn't it! Hope you having a good time in London, and I'll be coming to Europe early next year, so if your still there, look forward to catching-up. Love jo
From Rena
Hey Jo jo, I really hope your nose doesn't fall off either although you would still be a spunk rat! Have kept up with your adventures through Lisy-Lou (btw feel free to email me at work: rena.richmond@hearing.com.au). It sounds like you are having some amazing experiences that will stay with you forever. So very proud of you and look forward to reading more about your exciting adventures. The workplace really isn't the same without you. You, Lisa and I should consider starting our own business! Much love, Rena
Response: I'm so lazy! Can't believe you posted this message in July and now its September - two months ago! Think about you and Lisa often, and can't wait to catch-up with you in Sydney. And don't mind the sound of that business thing... Love jojo
From Paul & Robin Green
What a brilliant website! Will now be a regular visitors, Jo.
Loved seeing the photos they are fantastic...... Great to see Dave is in such good company.
Hope the year continues to go well for you all.
Response: Nice to hear from you Paul and Robin, and just so you know Dave's not bad company either.
Will try and keep up dating as much as possible. Cheers jo
From Christoph
Hello Jojo,
Fantastic photos! It looks, and no doubt is, so different to anything we know.
I'm really proud that you're doing this and know that you'll see the benefits sooner than later.
Go go little Jojo!!
Love,
Christoph
Response: I love you, Christoph! Only four months until I see you and Tiny - yeah, yeah! Lots of love and happy sailing, jojo
From Marney
WOW - you beat all other advertures hand down! So great to hear about your adventures... I see Tiny enjoyed the Eiffel Tower.. he is very cultured, so I'm not really surprised.. in fact I think he would like Amsterdam better - more his scene from what I remember! Miss you! Lots of love Marney x
Response: Dearest Marney Moo,
Great to hear from you. Think of you often and hope that you are still in London in Dec/Jan as I'll be heading to Europe. Hope that your Mum is okay and that London life is good - sounds like you spend more time travelling than working! Also I think you are right about Tiny - Amsterdam is definitely his scene. what was Chris thinking taking him to Paris - way too boring! Take care and hope to see you soon, jojo
From Rena
Hey Jojo,
Thank you for the email you sent to Lisa and I. Time has flown! So good to know you are having a wonderful experience. It does seem like years since we were all working together....some very good memories. I won't bore you with the details of my new job here suffice to say it is very demanding but rewarding at the same time. I really hope you continue your wonderful adventures. Take care. Love Rena.
Response: Hello Miss Rena,
Great to hear from you, and just letting you know work just isn't the same without you and Lisa. Sent a long email to Lisa yesterday and ask her to forward it to you - that should keep you well informed. Hope work is still going well and look forward to seeing you both in a year or so for a wine or two (the wine or the locations to drink wine aren't quite the same in Mongolia). Love jo
From Christoph
Hello,
I love you. I love you very very much. I want you in my life always.
Love,
Christoph
Response: I love you too! So, so much. I miss you WAKI!
From loz and lippo
Hi Jo, Do they play AFL in Mongolia? They sure do here. Melbourne is cool and we have set up our little flat. We even have a fireplace, so it's as warm as a wok. Your writing is inspiring - YT's too - and it makes us smile to know you're both happy and enjoying the adventures. Have you started work yet? We wanted to send our best wishes for the challenges ahead. So - best wishes! Love from Dave and Loz.
Response: Hey guys,
Loved hearing from you both and think about you often and how much you would love Mongolia - the second-hand cloth shopping is amazing and the country-side beautiful. So, if you up for an adventure in Oct/Nov, that's when Whites is coming, you'll know I'll still be here. No, AFL here, but I have started playing Floorball (form of indoor hockey) and work is getting better and better. Hope Melbourne is treating you well, and by now you would probably need that fireplace. Love jojo
From Sarah Litchfield
Hello Jojo,
Love your page and the photos of Beijing are brilliant, can't wait to see your mongolian shots. Tom and I are really liking London although Tom is spending every second month in Saudi Arabia so I get plenty of time to explore by myself [also fun]. The wedding is set ofr 1st of October in Ireland so maybe maybe you and Chris might make it. Thinking of you Jojo Professional Adventure Babe. XXX Sarah
Response: How long has it taken me to reply - and still I haven't up-dated my page. Bad, bad girl! Have just been so busy. Don't think I'll be able to make it to your wedding as Chris doesn't really have any time off during October - Boo Hoo! I know it will be fantastic and will kick myself for years to come. Hope you and Tom are going well, and I look forward to seeing you when I do make it to europe - probably Dec/Jan. Lots of love jojo
