Merry Christmas!
Nice seeing you at our Huge Wonder booth at Stitch! I had that baby, by the way, one week later, my little Raiden Dio. I made your dirty sugar cookies this morning for Santa with my toddler :)

Hi Ayun,
I loved "No Touch Monkey." It was a fun read. You actually liked durian? I tried it once and thought it tasted like jellied jet fuel. Yowzaa! It smelled up my entire house. Anyhow, now I'm going to read your other books. Thanks for befriending me! Peace.

I bet "No Touch Monkey" is a lot funnier than "Eat, Pray, Love". Okay, I promise I'll read it now - I honestly do not know what has taken me so long. (but I still continue to plug Rumpus on my public access show!)

Hi Ayun,

It was fun reading with you last night. I thought I had read that tasty mangosteen bit of yours before (literary deja vu of sorts). And then I realized I DID read it on PerceptiveTravel.com !
