Now that our classes are in full swing Im fully appreciating time and mourning my lack of it. I hardly have a free moment anymore what with studying and doing homework writing blogs and journals for class. I really do love this though. I always feel like Im accomplishing something and there is always more to do. Even if I dont necessarily enjoy writing articles Im thankful for t

Det er no ein og ein halv mnad sidan eg kom til Cape Town. Tida har verkeleg flaksa av grde. Kvardagen er komen for lenge sidan noko eg set stor pris p. Det har teke meg nokon r erkjenne det men det er kvardagen I utlandet eg set pris p. Den frste veka her var ikkje srleg bra.

De sidste dage i Singapore Af ukendte grunde blev natten til fredag en svnls en af slagsen. Jeg kunne simpelthen ikke falde i svn. Da jeg vkkede Camilla omkring 10 tiden var hun lidt irriteret da hun benbart frst lige var faldet i svn. Vi var derfor begge enormt trtte. Men svn eller ej s ville vi bruge den sidste dag i Singapore p at se Marina Bay som vi ikke nede om tor

When the IRB announced in 2005 that New Zealand would be hosting the 2011 Rugby World Cup I vowed I would go. Since my high school exchange here I have made the pilgrimage to my second home twice before. My fourth visit to New Zealand is technically my fourth and fifth visits since I39m punctuating my time here with a trip to Australia.My Rugby World Cup experience began on September 11 wh

Just over 1 month in and Im over the culture shock which was surprisingly worse than I imagined it would be. I think 3 months back in England and I had reverted back into the comfort zone as well as missing my life and friends in South America. Te extrano chicos But pastures new...Ive started work and am discovering what it is like to teach classes of shy reserved Vietnamese adults

Sorry folks. For some reason my last blog dropped off a few sentences at the end so I39ve added this bit so that it makes sense.I think the end of the blog 39Three Days to Go39 said something about how I had added some family and friends email addresses to a list that should get an automatic email notification whenever we post of new blog. To test how this works could you please send us

No I am not coming home yet but a slice of home came here this past weekend for the Rugby World Cup. Thats right the United States Eagles our very own Rugby team which I did not know we had until this trip came to Wellington to take on the Australians. Of course being Americans in New Zealand we had to support our country no matter how bad our team is if your unfamiliar with rugby we are awful

Ok living in a city of 18 million people not far from China you would think there would be a big vibrant China town. I had heard two versions one it was great but from a guy on the course who lives here I was told not to bother. Ignoring him I head off there Friday evening and let me tell you it was a great disappointment. Now before I go to far it may be my fault maybe I missed the nice par

Camp officially began Wednesday morning but of course nothing school work related really got done before that. I was just as excited as the kids and when the bus rolled out of Derby I felt sure it was going to be a great trip.Our accomodation was St. Mary39s High School rec room floor. It sounds horrible sleeping in one room with 20 children but it was a fabulous bonding time.We spent a total

As I sit here in a generic airport seat overlooking the sunbleached tarmac of Doha International as planes come and go into the hazy blue sky and shimmering heat I don39t think things have really sunk in yet. Nothing quite seems real like I39m stuck in a dreamland. And to tell you the truth at times I don39t even know how or what I39m feeling or if I39m even feeling anything a

1. The article India 39s Untouchables Face Violence Discrimination relates to the concept we are currently exploring in class because it demonstrates how the Dalits untouchables are still present in India and also states how they are the lowest social class who suffered severally and treated as if there less than humans. Also Hindus is very determined to keep this progress going. 2. B

Not many words today just some photos to back up my recent ramblings....hope you39re all enjoying your Sunday. Today is my first day off in ages so I just went for a long walk didn39t get lost woohoo and checked out my neighbourhood.

We left Washington DC and headed too Chicago to catch a connecting flight to Memphis only to find that our flight had been cancelled and the next one won39t be until the following day all good.

at about 8.30 at night we arrived in a sea of light at the city of las Vegas. A beautiful sight all those lights. No carbon tax here. Everything went smoothly so within half an hour we were outside a cool airport into a warm Nevada night. A cab took us quickly to our Monte Carlo hotel. The check in gave us a nice room on the 27th floor that gave a nice view over part of the city. On those small fl
