Weren’t those kids insufferable? They mugged nonstop for the camera.

When I lived in China, my apartment had a tiny washer that looked like R-2 D-2. There was no dryer. No oven either.

How long is this HH Family going to go on? I just skip it. I miss my HH/HHI hour!

Billy’s beef cake looked like a slice of pie.

I was hoping the wing guys would be going home. All they have to do is make up sauces for the wings. I can’t stand them so they’ll probably win.

Vietnam: I loved the place they picked. It was spacious and and really cool with the cultural details. There was no mention of jobs at the ending though. Did they get those “high salaries for foreigners” jobs? ?

If those two guys have the material, they should try making a net or fish trap to catch some fish. Obviously, a fishing line wasn’t going to cut it. I’m glad the older and young woman found each other.

Canada to Utrecht: The girl was not a brat which was refreshing. Glad she got her cat! Dad annoyed me with his “where will I put my office so I can write my novel” ?. Dude, JK Rowling didn’t have an office when she started writing the HP books. Plus she had small kids.

They picked the $1700/month apartment, not one of the exposed beam places. I liked the one they picked better than the ones with the ugly, in the way beams and slanted ceilings.

I googled the International School in Zanzibar. The teachers are almost all Americans according to one site. The teaching contracts are for two years. Bet the “baby” in the master bedroom will get old long before that contract is up!

A real international school “promotes international education, in an international environment, either by adopting a curriculum such as that of the International Baccalaureate, Edexcel or Cambridge International Examinations, or by following a national curriculum different from that of the school's country of residence.” It can have both expat and local students. The couple would need to be licensed teachers in order to teach in a real (I’m using that term because there are phony ones) international school. I’m still amazed at the wife’s attitude. You would think she had never seen a small, non-American sized fridge in all her travels. Guess the international schools they had taught at before had provided luxe accommodations.

But they would have to have SHARED the outdoor spaces! ?

Zanzibar: OMG, I hated that whiny wife! She sure didn’t come across as a world traveler. How is a fully furnished house not “move-in ready” just because you don’t like the furniture? Has she ever heard of slip covers? I bet the kids would have preferred the place with beach and pool.

I’m going to skip Wolves and Warriors. I’m so over the beatification of people who served in the military. My opinion.

What was her previous job anyway? Something to do with fisheries?

Registered nurse, I believe.

Yeah, I thought the two women were a couple at first.

The concrete counter top technique was interesting. It was refreshing not to hear about having to have expensive quartz (or whatever) kitchen counter tops.

We need to have a convention! ?

Nalla is a champ. I doubt her owners had much to steal.

The blind dog was so cute. I have a cat (got him as a kitten) who was born blind, and he gets around just find. That sweet dog will do okay. Wonder what caused the blindness. First Dr. Jeff then Dr. Pol has a small dog who was hit by a car but comes out pretty much unharmed. Dr. Pol has another female vet on staff! Yay! Tater is one laid back cat! ?

Washington State: Wow, I was impressed by the renovation that couple did (with help from friends and family). I wanted them to pick that house just to see what they could do on a small reno budget. Good to be handy!

Guess they didn’t have insurance. Could they get it down there?

SC: I hope they intend on painting those ugly blue walls. Did they say what the wife did for a living? Horses are an expensive hobby.

I hope Caitlyn meets a hot Swede and moves in with him/her. Is Ricardo paying 1/3 of the rent as he should be? One bathroom for the three of them? In Caitlyn’s place, I certainly wouldn’t have ceded the bigger bedroom to them.
