A Year in Bolivia: March 2009
http://whengodsaysgo.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
A Year in Bolivia. Friday, March 20, 2009. Sometimes time doesn't seem to go by all that fast, and then you look back and realize you haven't written a blog for over a month and a half! I apologize for the large delay. So, last weekend - starting Friday night - all us SALTers and YAMENer and our coordinator and two other people from MCC left for Cochabamba. We were all completely full of exciting energy! I did eventually sleep and in the morning we all sleepily tumbled off the bus and managed to make our...

A Year in Bolivia: January 2009
http://whengodsaysgo.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
A Year in Bolivia. Sunday, January 25, 2009. A Month of Holidays PART 2. I arrived back to my house in Santa Cruz on the 8th and that night was met (at about 11:00pm) by a crowd of singing people. My birthday was the next day and a bunch of people from the church had come over to give me my birthday serenade (see below)! That was pretty cool. They sang a ton of songs and we all ate jello and empanadas (dough wrapped around cheese. pretty good, no? Gave me a meal with my favourite foods and then a cake!

A Year in Bolivia: Thoughts and Stories
http://whengodsaysgo.blogspot.com/2008/12/thoughts-and-stories.html
A Year in Bolivia. Wednesday, December 10, 2008. This past weekend all us SALTers went to visit another SALTer and some other MCCers in Moro Moro (a tiny town off in the foothills of the Andes). It was suppose to be a 10hour bus ride, but both the ride there and back turned out to be shorter than that! Anyways. the town is amazing! We were all so tired and sore and out-of-breath! I'm learning lots of things here in Bolivia that I didn't think I would. things not entirely Bolivia-related. like how...I rea...

A Year in Bolivia: November 2008
http://whengodsaysgo.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
A Year in Bolivia. Saturday, November 22, 2008. What I have to say. Well, it seems like it's time for another update. It's been super hot today. The newspaper said a cloudless sky with 35degrees. But, the thermometer here in the shade says 38. um. perfect. really hot. This seems the perfect day for doing absolutely nothing but eating ice cream and watching movies of the North Pole. How do you describe 38degree weather with added humidity? Well, I really don't think I should. it's just hot. After El Fuert...

A Year in Bolivia: October 2008
http://whengodsaysgo.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
A Year in Bolivia. Thursday, October 30, 2008. So, this week was my first week of not working in the curso I talked about last time. I have switched over to Sala Cuna or The Baby Room. I like it a lot better, but. Is it too easy! What about all my goals and what-not that I wrote about last time? I had thought God had wanted me in the other curso, but was I wrong? Then again, maybe God wanted me in the other curso for the time that I was there and now He wants me in Sala Cuna. In still other news. Tonight...

A Year in Bolivia: February 2010
http://whengodsaysgo.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
A Year in Bolivia. Thursday, February 4, 2010. Well it's been about 6 months since I've been back in Canada. Wow. I was warned about culture shock, but to be honest. I hardly felt any. I don't know if that's good or not. I did come back with a greater amount of disgust at the addicting habits of consumerism and I was happy with less. I felt ashamed sometimes when I saw how much I had in my house. but is that culture shock? And the hammocks and the geckos and all the crazy-looking flowers. And Spanish.

A Year in Bolivia: June 2008
http://whengodsaysgo.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
A Year in Bolivia. Thursday, June 12, 2008. Less than two months and I will be flying off to Akron Pennsylvania to start orientation for my year of volunteering. Every now and then it hits me that I'm going. I'm so excited! And, yet, super scared. I think everyone should read these books. Even those who have no plans to travel. Canada is a multi-cultural country and these books help you understand the different actions of those from a different culture. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
