Geography Game

[marguerite]

Brookie started a international geographic game a long time ago, and we had great fun with it.

We start with a city name
Yonkers, New York, U.S.A.
and the next person posts a name starting with the last letter of the previous city
Santiago, Chile
and so forth

Our young Thai teacher was too embarrassed to tell me. She whispered it in Carol's ear.

Norb,

I have been studying about gem stones for years and believe me Kanchanaburi sapphires are beautiful. Actually sapphires comes in such an array of colors, it's incredible. I'm on a quest to get a purple sapphire and a purple diamond.

[norb]

Ulm, Germany - used for a tongue twister: in Ulm um Ulm um Ulm herum

Brandy, we are still debating whether or not to go back to Thailand early next year to teach refugees again for a couple of months but I don't now how my CIDP is going to behave??? :confused: The NGO director keeps bugging us to come back. If we do perhaps we could look for your sapphire. It's unlikely that we'll go back to Kanchanaburi, though. It would be Chiangmai which was our "home" for two years. I remember one big gem stone store on Tapae road, the main shopping road in CM.

Dresden, Germany -the most destroyed city during WWII

Brandy purple in Thai is sii muang or in Thai script see below .. and sapphire is nin-sii-kaam which is confusing nin = dark precious stone, sii = color, a prefix used for the different colors, kaam = ? still looking..
BTW, Carol is just telling me that the precious stones in Kanchanaburi most likely come from Burma. Burma is known for gem stone mining. We saw lots when we went to Tachilek, Burma to have our visa renewed. This is NE of Chiangmai.
