10月4号早上，收拾好大包小包，我们离开了NAD前往机场。风子和大胜踏上回国旅程，snoopy和我将要继续行程去Bunaken。原来在email里面沟通好，NAD会和我们在Bunaken的潜店Cha Cha联系好如何接头。我在出发前也和NAD的经理Simon确认过没问题。可是到了机场，NAD的司机根本没有找人接头的意思，把我们扔在机场就准备走人了。我拉着他问，结果他回了我一句：NO English。好吧，那只能靠自己啦。snoopy看行李，我往机场到达区走去。我们到的时间正好没有飞机到达，到达区冷冷清清，估计也正因为如此，我很快就被Cha Cha雇佣的司机认出接上头。一个多小时后，来到Bunaken Cha Cha Resort. 但下船成了一个问题。ChaCha门口有一片很浅的海滩，涨潮的时候船可以驶入，而退潮的时候船就只能远远停下。我们到达的时候正好是午后退潮。我们的船

As usual, I would ask the recipe where possible since it would be a nice alternative to the fried rice with sweet soy sauce that I usually make.When you see the colour of the fried rice, it is with fresh green tinge. Also, the base ingredients are very simple but oh my.... it's

Resurrecting The Coelacanth As An Icon Of FaithBy Robert DeyesARN CorrespondentIn his letter to the Hebrews, the apostle Paul wrote how "faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" (Ref 1).

Here is why I believe they are illogical about this great find back in the early 70’s. The Coelacanth that was found looked virtually identical to what you see in the fossil record. Go here to see what I’m talking about. http:/
