Mike in Romania: November 2009
http://norkinromania.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Adventures of a Peace Corps volunteer in Eastern Europe. Monday, November 2, 2009. Back in the land of big cars, frozen foods and green money. So I'm back. I've been here for nearly three weeks now. Things here are just big. Period. Even tubes of toothpaste are huge! Although, there is at least one item that's decidedly smaller around these parts: the common beer bottle. Other things of note:. It's strange to have access to dishwashers and microwaves. At one point my mother walked into the kitchen to...

Adventures of a Peace Corps volunteer in Eastern Europe. Tuesday, August 18, 2009. From album: Carpathian Adventure Race. Monday, August 17, 2009. I recently wrote a farewell letter to the town of Lugoj and sent it in to Redesteptarea. The local newspaper. Here's what I said:. School is over and my time here in Romania is quickly coming to a close. Unfortunately, I won’t be teaching English at Brediceanu next year. It is amazing how fast the past two years have gone! You don’t make any money! I leave Lug...

Adventures of a Peace Corps volunteer in Eastern Europe. Wednesday, June 3, 2009. One of my side-projects this semester has been trying to establish a partnership bewteen Brediceanu (my high school here) and Haddam-Killingworth High School (the school from my hometown in Connecticut).

Adventures of a Peace Corps volunteer in Eastern Europe. Sunday, September 13, 2009. Just a quick update:. I think I'll stay in Berlin until Tuesday, when I'll head West to Bremen, the city where Beck's beer is brewed. I'll be staying with a Romanian friend who lives there. If I'm lucky, I'll have access to a computer and be able to write a bit more. Till the next update! An Intruder's ramblings in Romania. For an American too! I recognise most of the places you list!

Adventures of a Peace Corps volunteer in Eastern Europe. Sunday, October 11, 2009. At this point I'm almost home! I'm currently in Dublin, where I'll stay until my flight to JFK on Wednesday. Since my last update a lot has happened. Here are some highlights:. The ferry ride was over 3 hours long, most of which I slept through. Once we got to Dublin, we got off the ferry and Gus dropped me off somewhere on the highway a bit outside Dublin. Just as you might expect, it was raining cats and dogs....The n...

Adventures of a Peace Corps volunteer in Eastern Europe. Sunday, May 31, 2009. Coming to a close. When I arrived here nearly two years ago, it seemed like 27 months of service would be an eternity. Those 27 months, however, are already nearly over. Time has just flown by. I'm almost done with my second year of teaching. Things are winding down quickly. There are only two weeks left in the school year (really only one week of real. June 4, 2009 at 6:00 AM. June 19, 2009 at 7:38 AM. View my complete profile.
