http://travelsandothernews.blogspot.com/2011/07/day-4-thursday-july-7-2011.html
In Her Own Voice. She speaks always in her own voice, even to strangers." - Robert Graves. Thursday, July 7, 2011. Day 4 - Thursday, July 7, 2011. Rickshaw drivers - just like a 1930s Hollywood movie. Early the next morning we all met for breakfast and then headed out on our day of mega touring - Forbidden City, lunch in the Hutongs and a visit to the silk factory. The beginning was incredible, though, when you first enter. It's pretty overwhelming. Impressive and imposing Tiananmen Square. It's how they...

In Her Own Voice. She speaks always in her own voice, even to strangers." - Robert Graves. Friday, July 8, 2011. Final day in Beijing. A temple in old Beijing. While I was sitting there, a middle school boy came up behind me and said in near perfect English, "what are you doing? One more great sign from the Summer Palace was the hours in English - High Season and Slack Season:) We decided that "Slack season" must be the few days a year when there is no festival going on:) (See photo below):. Day 3 - Meet...

In Her Own Voice: July 2011

In Her Own Voice. She speaks always in her own voice, even to strangers." - Robert Graves. Sunday, July 31, 2011. After finishing up in Wuhan, several of us went to Shanghai for another whirlwind trip before leaving China. I absolutely loved it. It's busy and hot, but has so many contrasts and is much more Western with French and British influences. The Bund (riverwalk area) is gorgeous at night and the dumplings are excellent! Life size posters of George Clooney - what a town! Finally, a sandwich! After...

In Her Own Voice: October 2010
http://travelsandothernews.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
In Her Own Voice. She speaks always in her own voice, even to strangers." - Robert Graves. Wednesday, October 20, 2010. Late October by Maya Angelou. The leaves of autumn. Sprinkle down the tinny. Sound of little dyings. And skies stated of ruddy sunsets. Cobweb greys and turn. A signal end to endings. A gruffish gesture alerting. Those who will not be alarmed. That we begin to stop.

In Her Own Voice: May 2010

In Her Own Voice. She speaks always in her own voice, even to strangers." - Robert Graves. Thursday, May 6, 2010. Proust and his madeleines. The Buddhist concept of living in the moment is wonderful, but easier said than done at times. The other week I attended a French literature class and they were discussing Marcel Proust, one of the greatest authors of the 20th century. The feeling may not last, as Proust so desperately wanted, but still we sense something, even if for a moment. And whether in th...

Podcast I just found that we made for NAP resource center at UEL in Londrina, Brazil - ah, my accent! Talking about Earth Day and World Environment Day in Londrina, Brazil. Wednesday, November 10, 2010. This is my favorite poem, probably because of its poignance and heartfelt sadness, I'm not sure. But it gives me goosebumps every time I read it. Snoopy and the g...

In Her Own Voice. She speaks always in her own voice, even to strangers." - Robert Graves. Tuesday, April 12, 2011. How I would love to have violet eyes. So much to do, so little done, such things to be.". I love this quote by Elizabeth Taylor. The most gorgeous of Hollywood with an amazing life story, she had such an admirable quality of jumping into everything she did with extreme passion. Right or wrong, at least no one can say she did anything halfheartedly. I aspire to do the same. Say, love, do you...
