Global Osmosis: April 2010
http://glosmosis.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Running for a Reason. Before the whirlwind begins, I’d like to take a step back from Malaysia tales and return across the Bay of Bengal to India, to the day I realized how not to travel, and the day that inspired the creation of this blog. 8221; moments –I didn’t want to be an audience to the bustling streets of India; I wanted to be a participant. I kept writing frantically. As I formulated my plan for this blog, the oh-so-overused cliché kept running through my head. “Live for the journey...O now with ...

Global Osmosis: December 2010
http://glosmosis.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Running for a Reason. November 5, 2008. My back's to the wake of the ship, roasting. Sitting crosslegged on the wooden deck against the metal railing. Journal in lap. Pen ready. The. Assignment: write a list of things gained and lost thus far on this journey. Here goes. Passion for writing things down. The notion of self- morally, professionally, humorously. A sense of adventure, and open-mindedness. This could go on for a while. The birth of my nephew. The change of seasons. Some of my vulnerability.

Global Osmosis: May 2011
http://glosmosis.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Running for a Reason. It was hard not to follow Janie. She wanted to practice her English with us. She complemented our beautiful skin. And she offered to lead us out of the cold and away from the swarms of other tourists. After a long night at the ice bar in Hong Kong and an early morning flight, we were exhausted when we arrived in Beijing. Despite our fatigue, we'd adopted the traveler's "I'll sleep when I get home" mentality, so we headed out to visit Tiananmens Square. So we followed her again throu...

Global Osmosis: January 2010

Running for a Reason. If you’ve seen a picture or a postcard of the Taj Mahal, then you’ve seen the Taj Mahal. You’ve even seen it in its prime. So it’s possible to see. The Taj in its prime via postcard, but that piece of paper could never allow you to. It Standing on that brick is humbling; it makes you fell small, and young. Gazing at those colors and that design is perplexing. And wearing those slippers is itchy, but certainly completes the dazzling experience. Posted by Em Hutto. Old World Meets New.

Global Osmosis: Water Tension
http://glosmosis.blogspot.com/p/water-tension.html
Running for a Reason. My good friends Garrett Russell and Brittany App pedaled their bikes from California to Florida last year for one simple reason: water. Brittany and Garrett averaged 37 miles per day following the Southern Tier – a route established by the Adventure Cycling Association. 8211; covering 3,159 miles between San Diego, California and St. Augustine, Florida. The duo raised $15,000 for WaterAid International. On Twitter to learn more about the progress of the film. Thank you for reading.

Global Osmosis: Japanese Food for Thought
http://glosmosis.blogspot.com/2012/04/japanese-food-for-thought.html
Running for a Reason. Japanese Food for Thought. Whether it is diving into a spa of naked ladies, or eating the strange concoction of ingredients on the plate in front of you, I say go for it, no matter what. Maybe you're deathly allergic to shellfish or peanuts, and only then would I suggest making an exception. The point is that you might not have an opportunity to try that food again, and tomorrow you'll be able to say you did that, and describe to others exactly what it tasted like. Of global beer co...

Global Osmosis: July 2011
http://glosmosis.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Running for a Reason. As redeeming as it was to share tales of Chinese landmarks when home and have friends and family actually know what I was talking about, travel is more worthwhile when I don't come home with a host of stories that could have come out of Frommer's. It's easy to get lost in the crowd in a new city, but if you're paying attention you might pick up on a couple of things like these to distinguish your trip. Despite the inevitable crowds at The Summer Palace,. An outdoor food market with ...

Global Osmosis: October 2010
http://glosmosis.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Running for a Reason. Effects Yet To Be Reckoned". I wrote one sentence in my journal the day we visited the War Remnants Museum:. Why does history keep repeating? In Steve Hawley’s feature “What We Leave Behind” in the Winter 2004 Issue of the Bear Deluxe Magazine. He predicts, “Amid former battlefields [in Iraq], contaminated with depleted uranium, or DU, the true costs of war have yet to be reckoned.”. I’ll write it one more time:. Why does history keep repeating? Posted by Em Hutto. That's what every...

Running for a Reason. War Journalism: A Question of Ethics. An image at the War Remnants Museum has got me thinking about ethical journalism. It was a photo of a terrified family holding on to one another; the caption read that the photographer asked a firing squad standing out of the photo’s frame to hold fire so that he could take his shot first. I think he exploited the family in their time of ultimate fear and confusion –at what point does documentation become dehumanization? Posted by Em Hutto.

Global Osmosis: Get Naked. You'll Regret It Otherwise.
http://glosmosis.blogspot.com/2012/04/get-naked-youll-regret-it-otherwise.html
Running for a Reason. Get Naked. You'll Regret It Otherwise. I forced new friends and travel companions to spend their first day in Japan traveling to the Arima onsen, or bathhouse, behind Mount Rokko. My friends appeased me. They packed bathing suits and towels into their backpacks and followed me to the bus that would take us from Kobe to Arima. When we arrived we discovered a tranquil mountain town reminiscent of Breckenridge, Colorado. But much quieter and more calm. Were we in the right place? This ...
