Letters from Asia: May 2007
http://lettersfromasia.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 23, 2007. A common sight in China: The bicycle traffic signal. (Let's hope they don't become a thing of the past with China's increasing car-owner population.). Wednesday, May 16, 2007. Xikou, Anhui - the base of operations for a weekend in the sticks - your average, dusty, small town in China, population 20,000. It reminded me somewhat of the old west - and I love the hand-painted signs on every building. After a stop at the opening ceremony for Xikou's "Tea Culture" Festival, we stopped ...

Letters from Asia: June 2009
http://lettersfromasia.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 11, 2009. Not the Beijing of the Olympics. Now that Flickr is finally unblocked in China, Ive posted a bunch of photos. Wednesday, June 10, 2009. Dandelion School on NPR. NPR broadcast a story about the nutrition program at the Dandelion School. About a week and a half ago. (Its amazing that I work at the school, but found the NPR story a week and a half after it was broadcast! Friday, June 5, 2009. Art at the Dandelion School. On tile and mirror mosaics in a narrow path that leads to the ...

Lets Talk Turkey: January 2007
http://loughriedoesturkey.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
When a loudmouth, chain-smoking newspaper reporter leaves his hometown for a job teaching English in Turkey, hilarity ensues. Join us each day for an update on James' wacky adventures. Sunday, January 21, 2007. A Turkish hunt . Today was great. Exhausting, but great. I woke at 5 am to go hunting with one of the students from my school. I was excited about this for last few days, because it's been a long time since I killed anything. Our prey was birds and that was a personal joy for me. Unfortunately, my...

Letters from Asia: April 2007
http://lettersfromasia.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 30, 2007. That 0.1 percent of children in Shanghai - or one in 1,000 surveyed - want to grow up to be "common workers." The story notes that while being a common worker used to be the ideal of the communist movement, values in China have changed since Deng Xiaoping proclaimed that "to be rich is glorious.". My question is: Who is that one kid in 1,000 who wants to be a common laborer? So that one child, does he really want to be a common worker? So you want a new mom? That a teenage girl in...

Letters from Asia: March 2007
http://lettersfromasia.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 31, 2007. Three views of a restoration. Some photos from a recent trip to the Forbidden City in Beijing. More photos of Beijing are posted here. And I will be writing something about that trip soon. Saturday, March 24, 2007. A sad day for Philippine journalism. It's difficult to describe Newsbreak's importance to Philippine journalism without a little context. It wasn't a news source with broad appeal, like the shows the network I worked for, ABS-CBN. For years the country held the unenvi...

Monday, January 01, 2007. Uch, iki, bir, multu yillar. And so the count down went and it was a happy new year in Turkey. (I'll post more on my New Years Night at the wine bar later this week.). Sorry to get Amicoesque. But this is going to be a long blog entry. I had one person ask me if I had ever been to the Middle East ...
