Although my website is in essence a personal scrapbook, I dubbed it PandaNet in honor of my obsession with pandas which began when I was 9 years old on a trip to Kobe, Japan.  There I had my first encounter with live pandas for the first time and received my first stuffed panda bear, which I named Chuly.  I was instantly smitten with the lumbering black-and-white bears with their sad, clownish eyes and awed by their universal appeal to animal lovers as the symbol of nature's creatures.

(Chuly still lives at home in Korea with his sister Yungy, who belongs to my sister.)

PandaNet is dedicated to my friends and family, because without them, I would be nothing, and this website would have nothing on it except pictures of a cat and a car.

PandaNet is a labor of love, but any donations are always graciously accepted.  =)

Note:  Photographs will be inserted chronologically according to when they were taken (i.e. oldest at the top, newer towards the bottom).  It might be easier for readers to notice newer photos that way but it won't make sense in the story.
