you can't go home again...: November 2012
http://ucantgohomeagain.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
You can't go home again. Experiences traversing life's constant changes. It's like the siren calling me to the rocky shores. Senegal seems so far away. I seemed to have left my confidence there as well. I never questioned my "fitting in" there. But here, every where I look, I question myself. Will they like me when I show up to their cocktail party looking like a dirty hippie wearing bright African colored prints and 500 CFA plastic sandals? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

you can't go home again...: a new journey
http://ucantgohomeagain.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-journey.html
You can't go home again. Experiences traversing life's constant changes. You can't go home again.". The title of Thomas Wolf's book that has sent my thoughts on roads so long, so unexpected they often get lost. And now, the title of this new blog. It seems a rather parasitic fascination for the idea of "home" has settled, unshakeable, on my heart. I imagine this is because I have had to redefine what home is so many times in the past few years. So let us live our lives homeless and free. Ever changin...

You can't go home again. Experiences traversing life's constant changes. Remember back in college when you had a huge assignment due and you would psych yourself up to get it done? I finally got a job! Though I haven't started working yet. I want to share more, but I need to wait a bit more. Everyday I fall more and more in love with this city. She continues to surprise me with beautiful hidden treasures. I've rediscovered the bounty of the public library. A bike. in case you didn't get that).

You can't go home again. Experiences traversing life's constant changes. Beauty for your ears. While I could write in such detail about the emotion that his music invokes, I actually wanted to share with you something else experienced that night. I wanted to share the talents of his opening band. Their name was "Mountain Man" and I really enjoyed them. Check out this video clip of them. Stunning really. You can't go home again.". Go home again. At least not the home that I had left. The truth hur...And h...

http://leoschinapage.blogspot.com/2011/04/20-questions.html
Peace Corps in China. Nciku (Chinese Language Site). Thursday, April 21, 2011. Recently I have wondered if all of the questions posed to me by family and friends would be much better answered by making a list. Below are the most common questions that I have heard, I hope it will aid you in understanding my service here. What is the most challenging aspect of life in China? 2 How much of your time is spent preparing for and teaching classes? 3 What is your relationship with other teachers and faculty?

Peace Corps in China. Nciku (Chinese Language Site). Sunday, December 19, 2010. Our final weeks in the semester have arrived with astonishing speed. Soon many of us will be doing traveling in-country or visiting other countries nearby. My friends and I have toyed with the idea of going to Vietnam for the holiday season and perhaps catching some sites in China along the way. I hope that this Christmas season is filled with happiness for all of you back home. I wish I could be there with you but alas I...

Peace Corps in China. Nciku (Chinese Language Site). Thursday, March 31, 2011. This week Yibin's weather has grown surprisingly comfortable. The sun, yes the sun, has even grown visible in the sky. As the climate has improved campus activities have sprung up again and students are outside studying in the shade. At the talk most volunteers were interested in how Peace Corps China had changed since Hessler's service in the 90's. At one point the conversations even led to Yibin, at which time the author...

Peace Corps in China. Nciku (Chinese Language Site). Saturday, June 30, 2012. All things must come to an end. 65279; It was a rainy, bittersweet day in June when I said goodbye to my last class of students. We spent our final class time together discussing fun ways to continue learning English, from funny movies to BBC webpages and songs featuring Rihanna. The mood was quiet and sad. I gave them my contact email and we finally said goodbye. 8220;How quickly things come to an end,” I said. I think, thoug...
