Here and Now: September 2010

Tuesday, September 28, 2010. After agreeing on a 5 year timeline, Jason and I got down to business. Luckily, we share a lot of the same goals and dreams, so it was easy to make a list that included what we both wanted. One major thing on the list was to find new jobs, possibly overseas, that we enjoyed. Check! Another thing on the list was to buy some land in Colorado. Check! I know there were other things on the list, but we didn’t save the dang thing and that’s all I can remember. On our way back from ...

Here and Now: Naked in a New Land
http://sarah-hereandnow.blogspot.com/2011/05/naked-in-new-land.html
Monday, May 9, 2011. Naked in a New Land. I think it's true what people say about Americans. We're prudes. You may doubt this, what with the tattoos, and skimpy clothes, and medical marijuana.but it's true. Think about it. How many nude beaches are there in the states? This situation has been keeping me away from the swimming pools as well. I just don't like to be scrutinized in such a vulnerable state. But! Scissors - I have a different appreciation for their kitchen functions since moving to Korea....

Here and Now: Sta-range-ee
http://sarah-hereandnow.blogspot.com/2011/02/sta-range-ee.html
Wednesday, February 16, 2011. Not in Korea. Here it's pronounced, sta-range-ee. It may not be politically correct to talk about how strange Korea is.or how strange certain things here are. Things are normal (2 syllables) to the people here, but they are strange to me. They might not even be strange to other Asians or Europeans or Africans or what-have-you. They are strange to me though, so I thought it was time for another posting of "things in Korea that are weird". Yup! Did you know that armpits are pr...

Wednesday, April 7, 2010. Bruce Lee is the king of Hong Kong. View of the skyline and Victoria Harbor with storm clouds covering the mountain. Much prettier once the sun goes down. We wandered around the markets but never found the mahjong set I had my heart on. Nan Lian Garden was a beautiful spot for a tranquil afternoon stroll. The garden is filled with pagodas, ornate bridges, and gorgeous landscaping. Not quite templed out.we stopped by Tin Hua temple in Yau Ma Tei. View from the 43rd floor. Althoug...

Wednesday, January 26, 2011. There are some sadistic parents out there who send their kids away to English camp during winter vacation. These unfortunate kids have to study English 9 hours a day for an entire week. Even more unfortunate are the teachers who sign up for the gig. This year, two of those teachers were me and Jason. I was under the impression that I would be with the kids for 5 or 6 hours a day - ha! This little cutie was in my second week class. She warmed my heart when she told me that...

Wednesday, February 22, 2012. A Student Once Again. And that I love learning about the world, history, and culture through the medium of literature. So, you can imagine my excitement when I found an online program that seemed tailor-made for me. I’m now studying for a master’s degree in Multicultural and Transnational Literature…and I LOVE it! Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie. The Sorrow of War by Bao Ninh. Let the Dead Bury Their Dead by Randall Kenan. Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison.

Thursday, July 7, 2011. I saw Meklit Hadero on an episode of CNN's My City My Life (San Francisco) a few months back. I've been enamored with her ever since. She's a bit Ani Difranco and a bit Billie Holiday - two of my favorite artists. Enjoy! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Josh n Jax n Japan. No Name for a Blog.

Tuesday, October 26, 2010. Camping in the middle of a megacity - a city of more than 10 million people. Impossible? Not at all. Not when that city is Seoul. If you look at the geography of Seoul, you'll see it is bordered by 8 different mountains. This allows Korean folk to get their hiking fix in between their hellishly long hours - be it working, studying, or keeping house. If you think the last one doesn't involve hellishly long hours, you'd be wrong. Things get dirty here quick! We took the easy way ...

Saturday, March 6, 2010. Koh Lanta, Thailand. This island is huge! Although the hospital was far cry from anything in the states, it was actually pretty okay. The folks there spoke English, and they were efficient and friendly. After Jason filled up on an IV and was able to keep some food down, we took off. I found us a place with a pool - so Jason was able to recouperate in style over the next few days. The pool was a treat. It was a great place to chill out in the evenings. It was very serene. Theresa ...
