I believe that all human beings have something to share with each other - something that language can not dare to block out. And I experienced that in here, although it was a short period. Kim, you always called me 'baby' and said I will never come back here. But maybe I will come back, who knows? And I'll be a 'small adult' at that time. And Kay Hock, I'll use your massage style in Korea. 3 spots in the head, I remember. And, you, know, you're a very very nice cooker. Anyway, it was a good experience in my travel in Australia."

Who knows maybe we'll meet up in the spiritual word one day, maybe not. Kay Hock your skills are endless, never stop learning new things. Your food is definitely top notch.

I'm going to Gold Coast just short time and then I'll come back to this house. Thanks for teaching English many times. I never forget and I should try many time. See you as soon as possible...

But I felt really comfortable during I was staying here. As I made a lot of wrong sentences, you fixed my English. So I thought I wanted to stay longer. But I'm leaving here tomorrow, so as to learn another English person an another beautiful girl (I hope). I had a definitely fucking good time since I came here. And I can't forget your word 'hee-hoan, no manner'. But actually you are absolutely rude men :). I was really good supervisor and perfect man. Maybe if you read this book, you will say 'this is stupid, foolish and something'. But if you everything me, this is all lie. Don't miss me.

It's a pity that I have not so much time to stay longer." (Robert Woehl, 19/6/2002)

Tomorrow I depart to see the Reef and to travel further on, always forward... There's more to see and to do. But I've had a good time here and feel reluctant to leave. My experience has been much the same as the others: drinking with the neighbours, digging trenches with Keiren as company, catching up on unseen movies but mostly eating well and sleeping. My laundry has never smelled so fresh. I will miss all the dogs, except the one that farts and Kieran’s night time barking escapades. I'll miss Kay Hock's food and Kim's taking the piss out of all the things American. Politics aside, I will remember Gin Gin and some of the more subtle things that happened for longer than you'd think. Any time you're thinking of visiting the USA I think a special effort to get to Chicago should be made. Good on you for what you've created here." (Don, USA, 10/6/2002)
• "Kay Hock and Kim, I've been in Australia for two months already and had a great time, but the best two weeks were here, even though it was work!!

Keiren kept me amused for hours, barking at this own splashes in the dams and chasing the sticks we were clearing. Kay Hock, thank you for the meals you cooked for us, they were delightful, however we would like to sample those cakes we were talking about. And Kim, next time you're in England go to Yorkshire, we all talk like this and not like the Queen! Great selection of movies to relax in front of, Kay Hock keep the selection growing. The four of us will not forget Mengyuan, we have lots of memories from this past week to take with us on our travels up the east coast.

When I came here at first, this place was not as good as I expected. But this mind disappeared, when I'm watching my result of work that I've done. Because of a comfortable feeling, I didn't study English. I just watched movies. If I have a chance, I'll like to visit again to this place. If I would speak English, I should talk to Kim and Kay Hock so much. Anyway, this place is very good to study English and take a relax. I don't know exactly whether I can visit again or not. However, if someone finds a good place where they can study English so well, I want to recommend this place. Thank you for a comfortable mood and delicious dishes."

At that time, this saying made me weep for joy. So, you always are there for me. To be frankly, I'm so weak. If I get a big problem, I might ask you how I can solve it. So please give me some advice, ok? Anyway, I have to leave here, for going to India, Nepal and Tibet. Now, I'm satisfied with and proud of that I could spend a half of my life in Australia with you. Thank you as a kind friends and fathers, sincerely Good Bye!" Tomohiro Namihisa, Japan, 4/1/2002)

Everyone have 24 hours a day, but we're all different how to use the time. I thought many things during staying here, but I didn't get any answers. I can say, I must be approaching to my ideal. Now I am laying the foundation of my life in Australia. I am thinking an being trouble, it's for the glitter of my life. I got strong body and mind through some experience. Anyway here is too hot. I think Summer is not good to work here. If you want to get a experience, winter is best. You should have a lot of trouble, even though you buy those. I want to say it like this. It is important for us to do experience all. Thank you for your kindness. I will meet you again some day." (Kwanju Park, Korea, 4/1/2002)

• "Dear Kim and Kay Hock, To begin with, I wanna say "I appreciate your kindness sincerely". I stay here around 2 months. I don't think 'time flies', because we have lots of memories which everyone is precious and fresh for me, including hard things. I made a fucking long trench, deep holes or something. Also I broke your favourite cup, exercise goods measure and shovel, ah... so many. I'm so sorry... And I couldn't decide what to do for my future life. Kim, your advice made me it. I will never forget you said 'Everyone have a chance. Now is the time. You can try anything'. I really wanna grab my dreams at any cost. In the future I will be a journalist, but at the time don't ask me about law. Today I have you, but two months ago I didn't. Some kind of magic happened, logic can't explain. Why we met? Now, I know the reason just a little bit. It's a necessity, not an accident, I think. Whatever happens to me, Buddha's arrangement. Buddha and Kim and Kay Hock, you make me be happy here. Now I have my family, friends, philosophy, Buddha and you. I trust these like the ground. That's why these keep me walking when I'm falling down. I know I have only one life. I have to let this be the best one. I will never forget you. Thanks for everything. P.S. Live with a positive attitude!" (Tomohiro Namihisa, Japan, 26/10/2001)  
• "Now I'm looking at my rough hands, scars, calluses, blisters I'm proud of them. Come to think of it, my life of Mengyuan was not so easy, so it's more valuable. Since I arrived in this country, I have been lucky. I met my nice friend, Tomo, and I met Kim and Kay Hock. They made me feel a love of family, which I couldn't expect. Sometimes like father, sometimes like brother and friend. Also, I could learn a living English and find real Aussie, Kim, thank you for your teaching (my poems). Whenever we finished our work, you never forget telling us "thank you". But it was really my pleasure. Kay Hock, thank you for your beautiful foods and kindness... I'll remember your songs in the spa and many talks. I want to be remembered as a nice Korean WWOOFer and your friend rather than one of Kwanggin's friends." (Shin Dong Ki, Korea, 14/10/2001) 
• "I don't believe how I can live here such a long time. Usually my task was a fucking difficult and I couldn't get any holiday for one month as well. I think I addicted myself to your smile, kindness and fantastic food. Now, I have to leave here, I will never forget everything about Mengyuan. I think two trenches will operate properly because I made it. Somehow if it's broken, blame 'Tomo' same as Kim's burp and fart. I don't want to leave here, but I have to watch TV with girls so I'm going unavoidably. From tomorrow, we will go to different way but this time which I lived in Mengyuan will remain in my heart forever. Have a nice life! (Yun Jong-uk, Korea, 30/9/2001)
