Reporting from Greece: May 2006
http://reportingfromgreece.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
I'm a 20-something American boy, working for a year at a school in Thessaloniki, the second-largest city in Greece. Every week, I produce a short report on my life in Greece. I mostly post on my LiveJournal. Friday, May 26, 2006. Podcast: Fire walk with villagers. On Sunday, I saw some people walk on hot coals. It looked like this:. 3:59, 2.4 MB). Click on the picture or here to see more photos. From Thessaloniki to Langadas, which is ominously covered by a cloud. It didn't put out the fire. This week, I...

Pustolovina Two: The Adventure Continues: November 2007
http://pustolovina2.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Pustolovina Two: The Adventure Continues. Tuesday, November 20, 2007. More entertaining than 'Evan Almighty'. I was sitting near the back of the American Airlines flight from Brussels to the US. By the time the flight attendant reach me, he had run out of US Customs forms in English. Do you know French or Dutch? I interrupted, "No, If you had the forms in Spanish or Serbian.".

Poet lover rebel spy. Now appearing on the internets! Sunday, May 20, 2007. I’ve been in seven different countries in the past six weeks, so you’ll have to forgive my tardy updating. I’ll begin my musings with the first, and dirtiest, stop on the tour: Germany’s neighbor to the north, Denmark. Too cold for the beach over the Easter holiday, my mother and I had little to do but wander . . . and wonder about those Danes. We discovered, for example, that the Danes have an odd. And surprisingly, this was oft...

Pustolovina: adventure in Serbian: May 2006
http://pustolovina.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Pustolovina: adventure in Serbian. Monday, May 29, 2006. A few days ago, I was in my neighborhood nerd supply store (as R. Termed it during his visit) having some photocopies made. On the shelf of books, I spotted the Serbian-language version of Where’s Waldo? It’s called Gde je Gile? I like that they changed Waldo’s name in order to maintain the alliteration,. But is Gile a Serbian name? I don’t think I have met or heard of any Giles since my arrival here. But Waldo is a rare name in the. Bizarre to thi...

Poet lover rebel spy. Now appearing on the internets! Sunday, April 01, 2007. Unseasonably warm temperatures (it *was* just March, wasn’t it? This week I took my first step towards building said oasis when a free shelving unit appeared on my university’s exchange bulletin board. And my plants are doing their part by sprouting from seeds I planted a couple weeks ago. And for the eye, I’ve also got pots filled with iris, freesia, anemone, gladiola, and acidanthera bulbs; the iris were sprouting in the warm...

Pustolovina Two: The Adventure Continues: Representative
http://pustolovina2.blogspot.com/2008/02/representative.html
Pustolovina Two: The Adventure Continues. Tuesday, February 12, 2008. Last Saturday, I bussed out to my hometown to attend the. This morning, I participated in The National Center for Health Statistics National Survey of Family Growth. An eccentrically dressed prone-to-over-sharing woman asked me about my sexual and reproductive history, opinions on sexual behavior, and family background. It was mildly interesting and I was paid $40 for my 45 minutes. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Some people I know.

poet~lover~rebel~spy: June 2007
http://poetloverrebelspy.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Poet lover rebel spy. Now appearing on the internets! Sunday, June 17, 2007. Way back at the end of March, I posted an entry about my fantasy summer sunshine paradise out my kitchen window and on the neighboring rooftop. What began as a modest project of starting seeds on a secondhand shelving unit. Has turned into this:. Here’s a visual to help:. I purchased 2 meter-long window boxes at the hardware store. Approximate cost/window box: 2.20. I purchased 2 1m tall wooden dowels. Cost/dowel: 1. How to Take...

Poet lover rebel spy. Now appearing on the internets! Tuesday, March 20, 2007. Luck of the Irish. What kind of music does a leprechaun band play? Sham Rock. Ba-dum-dum. I headed over to Ireland for St. Patrick's Day. At 45 euros round-trip airfare, I just couldn't say no. I mean, that's cheaper than a non-sale rail return to Berlin for goodness sake! I can’t riddle you that either. There is a chain of stores, Carroll’s Gifts of Ireland, which must earn half of its yearly income on Irish-themed kitsch and...

poet~lover~rebel~spy: October 2006
http://poetloverrebelspy.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Poet lover rebel spy. Now appearing on the internets! Saturday, October 21, 2006. I made the decision yesterday to stay in Hamburg for the entire year. My program tried to tempt me with easy offers of moving to Berlin for at least February through June and working for this. Really cool organization. As wonderful as that might have been (since I fancy both greatly), I opted instead to work at the institute I'm studying at and pursue my own thesis research.

Poet lover rebel spy. Now appearing on the internets! Tuesday, November 21, 2006. New Home, New Problems. Новый дом, новый проблемы! Was the phrase with which the dialogue from section one of my first-year Russian textbook ended. The tenants in one apartment had a shower, but wanted a bath; in another, the reverse; and none of them had hot water. The landlord's response, complete with shrug - be thankful we all have new apartments! But, new home, new problems! The funniest thing of all is that anyone rea...
