Sarah Abroad: Biking at Sunrise
http://sarahjebrock.blogspot.com/2010/10/biking-at-sunrise.html
Thursday, October 28, 2010. As I rode, the darkness began to lift and when I turned from Jagtvej onto Nørrebrogade, the sun was just beginning to rise over Peblinge lake. In front of me. Crossing over the bridge, my breath heavy and my cheeks stinging from the cold, I was greeted by a stunning pink and orange sunrise. So now, with just under seven weeks left here, I'm determined to keep our days full and bright, and at least when I go home I will remember that I made the best of my time here, even if it ...

Sarah Abroad: December 2010
http://sarahjebrock.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 14, 2010. But, despite how quickly time flies, the sweetness of our bittersweet departure far outweighs these feelings of woe. We have had an incredible time here, and the lessons we've learned, friendships we've made, and memories we've created will stick with us, however dreamlike they may feel, for a long time to come. We've found "favorites" and "usuals," things we don't have back at home that have become routine here, things I will miss dearly:. Living each day with the confidence ...

Sarah Abroad: June 2008
http://sarahjebrock.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2008. You Know Much Less Than you Think You Do. Every time I think I've figured this place out, something happens to make me realize that I probably know even less than I did when I first got here. Malaysia just has this way of psyching you out. Not that we haven't received mixed messages throughout this whole experience, but the past week has mostly pleasantly driven the point home that no matter how much we think we know, we know nothing. Some examples:. River Views in Melaka. The funn...

This a picture of my girls in triangle pose. Pok Mon immediately began what he calls his "training," teaching Ez to prepare the dough and fry the bread. After a few days of practice, Ez brought me with him, and made me roti chennai! Monday, July 21, 2008. Malaysia's Lesson Plan for Sarah. As of right now, I ...

Sarah Abroad: February 2008
http://sarahjebrock.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 25, 2008. Excuse my enthusiasm, but today was the BEST DAY EVER and I am going to take this opportunity to write all about my school while I'm feeling so positive and excited about it. Teaching at SMK Matang is almost like being in a movie. I'll see if I can illustrate the uniqueness of it for you here. Remember, I say all of this with love, not with bitterness, although sometimes I admit there is a fine line. Today though, it's all love:. Rest of the class: "You mean fat! Let it go....

Sarah Abroad: August 2010
http://sarahjebrock.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 27, 2010. But, as often happens after a crappy travel day, we awoke the next morning to realize we were in the most beautiful place in the world. Our B&B was set back in the hills overlooking the lake, and we were surrounded by green meadows dotted with wildflowers, the Alps visible in the distance. It was the definition of quaint. We swam, sunbathed, danced, ate, hiked. it was perfect. Just look at the pictures, I don't really need to say much. Finally, our last(ish) stop was Florence, wh...
