hi - was googling Wolong and came across your blog - I’m off to Wolong 3 weeks today to work with the pandas! Loved your pictures, where are you staying - the Panda Inn?
Hi. Stumbled across your site and my daughter let out an enthusiastic squeal to see all your pandas. We just moved to Singapore 7 days ago and are hoping to get to China in the next 3 years to see the Pandas! Cheers and happy travels!
Francie & Greg–
Hi! Maneesh and I think that you two should move to the Bay Area when you get back and work for an adventure travel company. Are you in??? We have a place to stay for you, while you are getting set up. (We just got a house!) You had better come visit regardless. We love getting your postcards.
Your fans forever,
Sibyl & Maneesh
I stumbled across your blog trying to find some info on the Lijiang Banyan Tree. My wife and I will spend a few nights there for our 10 year anniversary.
Sounds like you guys are having a great time so far. I gather that you hail from the great Emerald City and I am from the same area. I live in China on the Tibetan plateau and thought I should offer my help in case you will be passing through my area. Send me a line if you need anything…
Wow, what a time you’re having, and someone’s taking very nice photos … good luck keeping them all in order
I’m putting together a book on African crops for a nonprofit and would like permission to use your picture of red and yellow watermelons in China (http://www.flickr.com/photos/franciez/456669522/). Please, when you catch your breath from Tibet drop me a note and I’ll fill you in … until then, happy trails!
Hi Francie,
What a great blog and incredible pictures… Heard you were looking for a gig in Shanghai. Let me know if you are serious… I could use some help here!
Take care,
Marcella
Hi, I found your blog of your trips to asia and was wondering if you knew whether it’s legal to keep pandas as pets in China??? Please e-mail me to sjm_ca82@yahoo.com. Thanx! *^_^*
Hi Greg and Francie,
I am fascinated by your travels. I am going on a Sierra Club trip to China in Oct. 2008. I am very interested in going early and volunteering at Wolong for about a week. Is that enough time to get a good feel for what Wolong is all about and maybe even getting to pet a panda? I am a veterinarian (30 years) with a small amount of zoo experience. I have traveled to Israel, Europe and Africa, but I only speak and understand English. As a 55 year old woman, in good physical shape, do you think I will have any trouble being accepted as a volunteer to a panda keeper? Any guidance you can provide would be very much appreciated. Thank you, Karen
