Adam's Travels: December 2010
http://adamkabir.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 26, 2010. So before I leave for our Hyderabad trip, I thought I'd share some pictures from the last few weeks, from the Field Trip posts below (note: this is the second of two posts, see below for the other one). To which the MC looked right at me and said "Canadian? No, no, no, anna! You are South Indian only! Anyway, fun times. Here, have some pictures! Finally, the piece de resistance: a map of all my travels. I had a pretty awesome nerd-out session with Google Maps and made a map...

Adam's Travels: ¡Feliz año nuevo!
http://adamkabir.blogspot.com/2013/01/feliz-ano-nuevo.html
Saturday, January 5, 2013. 161;Feliz año nuevo! Happy New Year, everyone! In my correspondence with people back home, I am still asked, three months in, what exactly it is that I am doing on my internship here. I think that attests to both my poor record in communicating with people while away, as well as my failure to update this blog sufficiently. So, without further ado, here's a little taste of intern life in the Dominican Republic. Once again, the very best to all for the new year! An interview with...

Adam's Travels: Out east!
http://adamkabir.blogspot.com/2012/10/out-east.html
Thursday, October 11, 2012. Well, it looks like I got a little behind on this. Chalk everything up to having too much fun while I was in New Brunswick – that and already-poor blog updating skills. If I recall correctly, I promised a bit of an introduction to where I was in New Brunswick. Never mind that I am now in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic – that is another story for another day! When I told people about this internship, they had two main questions: first, what was I actually doing? The good fol...

Adam's Travels: Fired up!
http://adamkabir.blogspot.com/2012/08/fired-up.html
Sunday, August 12, 2012. So it's been a couple of weeks since I left Toronto for the cooler, quieter lands of New Brunswick. Life here is very different, and I am sure that I will write about the daily grind at the centre here in more detail later. But first, a story from last weekend. Clearly they were unaware that the best parties involve starting fires with flint and steel, or sleeping in lean-tos. Labels: Falls Brook Centre. August 12, 2012 at 3:13 PM. How wonderful, Adam! People you should read!

Adam's Travels: Hobbies!
http://adamkabir.blogspot.com/2012/10/hobbies.html
Sunday, October 14, 2012. One of my favourite parts of the internship at Falls Brook Centre was the amount of freedom we had to take on random new projects simply because we could. Admittedly, when I think about it there is really no reason why many of these projects could not be done anywhere in the world, but something about living with eight gifted and curious people got the creative juices flowing. 8217; The answer is yes, but you will get funny looks. Anyway, we got to thinking about how vermicompos...

Adam's Travels: June 2011
http://adamkabir.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 1, 2011. And, we're back! Well, this blog was beginning to look lonely, with no update for almost four months! So much has happened, and so little has been written. My special apologies to anyone who has send me an e-mail since, uh, late January (to put things in perspective, as of the time of my last posting, Hosni Mubarak was still the President of Egypt). I have to say, it is just about the opposite from what I expected to happen. You see, both of my parents are botanists by training; ...

Adam's Travels: February 2011
http://adamkabir.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 5, 2011. Well, I felt the need to continue the 'happy' vibe that has been going through my blog post titles. It makes me feel nice and warm inside. That may or may not be true for those reading my blog, but regardless, here are pictures for you:. 2) The preparations for annual day, and annual day itself. 3) The Pongal celebrations at the hostel.

Adam's Travels: January 2011
http://adamkabir.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 23, 2011. Well, it has been an eventful couple of weeks since I returned to Dharmapuri. Back in Canada, the holiday excitement kind of dies down around New Years, especially for those of us who believe that no holiday between New Years' and Easter is worth celebrating (Valentine's Day? While I was really interested in everything that was going on, I was secretly really anxious about all the good food I saw before me, well, not getting eaten. How do these things work? Luckily, only some of...

Adam's Travels: November 2010
http://adamkabir.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 25, 2010. I have been meaning to post this for quite a while - I actually wrote the bulk of this post last week - but laziness prevented me from uploading it until now. However, a series of excellent updates on a lot of my favourite blogs have inspired me to get off my behind and write something. It feels like a lot has happened since the last blog update, and at the same time it feels like there's very little to write about! Turns out the principal here was teaching like three classes...

Adam's Travels: January 2013
http://adamkabir.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 14, 2013. 191;Qué es esa vaina? My first introduction to Dominican slang was, well, a greeting – “ ¿Qué lo que? 8221; This translates roughly to “what that which? 8221; – in other words, it makes no sense whatsoever. It is, in fact, an example of word-cutting, in which either parts of words or entire, lesser, words are omitted from a phrase because they are deemed useless. In this example, the entire “phrase” would be “¿Qué es lo que hay? 8221; (“what is it? Ing things. They coger. Buses,...
