I must thank Somnath from The Traveloholic for this nomination. It is the first award for me in 2016 and besides that I think it is so interesting to see how the readers of this blog can be found all over the world. Check out Somnaths blog about his travel adventures and I do hope to read more stories there again soon.

How I started my blog:
I started this blog to get all the crazy stories I experienced with my Chinese in-laws out of my head. Over the years many weird things have piled up and this blog is a perfect “therapy” to survive this madness.
Advice:
Death is lighter than a feather, Duty is heavier than a mountain!
Okay perhaps I try another advice: Take your time as all good things in life need time to develop.
Be sure to follow me also on Facebook and on Twitter as I will post there occasionally pictures which do not find their way into my blog posts. Furthermore I also have a YouTube Channel in which some videos might pop up from time to time

*LOL* lovely piece of advice:) Regarding the motivation issue, I think the therapeutic aspect is actually one of the best factors to keep me going too. Blogging keeps me sane:)
I know, where else all those things should go to otherwise except of course a diary 🙂
Congrats Crazy! Love your blog for so long and still love it. You have to thank MIL 😉
Thank you. Let’s see if I thank Mil next time 😉
Congrats. Aha, your MIL, a blessing or otherwise!
Seems that she is both blessing and bane to my existence
Congrats! And thanks for the nomination, haha.
You are welcome 🙂
Congrats on your award and thank you so much for nominating me, I just found this today. Appreciate the award so much but as a general rule I don’t tend to participate in awards anymore, unless it is a new one that I haven’t had before. I’ve been awarded The Blogger Recognition Award before so I hope you won’t mind if I don’t participate this time. I am trying to get a book ready for publication, at last! So I’m finding it hard to find the time for awards, etc. Many thanks for thinking of me, I really do appreciate it, so much. 🙂
Oh no worries as you had been nominated before and are also busy with the book 🙂
I only particpate in these awards as well when it is a new one
Well done on the award 🙂 But I mostly liked this post because you listed so many blogs I haven’t read before. I am already lagging behind in all my blog reading as I didn’t read many (if any!) while I was in Nicaragua. Now I have some more to read haha!
Through these awards I always find some great blogs to follow up. Sadly it turned out to be impossible to follow every single one I would be interested in as they are just too many by now!
