You can sign up to read this when I add things now! Just subscribe in the little box at the bottom of the column on the right. So I moved on to explore that most reliable, modern resource technology offers- blogger entries. But there are nearby resort towns and miles of gorgeous beaches, too. Add to that the fact that, while the State Dept. doesn’t exactly lavish luxury. Aren’t any bigger or scarier than they were in New Mexico. Posted by John at 21:48. View my complete profile.

JenFX: June 2007
http://jenfx.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Hi This blog is a record of my experience getting a fellowship as an English Language Teacher Trainer in Ukraine. Enjoy! Thursday, June 28, 2007. Like any good "telenovela" . . . In the "final episodes" the loose ends seem to be finding closure:. One of the teachers just received the permission she has been waiting to get from a publisher to use a textbook excerpt in her article. I just received a copy of a journal with an article I submitted for publication months ago. It is hard to say that I have a fu...

OK, so I'm trying to be clever with a song title again. but the main themes here are "dacha", a word meaning 'summer home' which is another one of those words that is not translated when people speak English, and countryside. A couple teachers recently took Joe and me on an outing to an outdoor museum on the outskirts. Like any good t...

http://jenfx.blogspot.com/2007/06/back-in-ussr.html
Hi This blog is a record of my experience getting a fellowship as an English Language Teacher Trainer in Ukraine. Enjoy! Tuesday, June 19, 2007. Back in the USSR. OK, we're not really in the Soviet Union, but so much of what we are seeing in Crimea is a throw-back to the old days. Some of the street vendors tell the prices in "rubles" (they don't use them here in Ukraine anymore! We are staying in a type of resort called a "sanitorium" (yet another one of those words that doesn't get translated when peop...

JenFX: November 2006
http://jenfx.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Hi This blog is a record of my experience getting a fellowship as an English Language Teacher Trainer in Ukraine. Enjoy! Saturday, November 25, 2006. Should I wear the hat? However, it is entertaining to meet up with expats like us. Earlier this week, I gave two workshops at the Peace Corps training center (I'm not sick anymore, by the way). They have 101 new English teaching volunteers that will go to their posts, some in remote parts of Ukraine, in. Next week we are going to. What is your last name?

JenFX: Dnipropetrovsk: Secret City
http://jenfx.blogspot.com/2007/05/dnipropetrovsk-secret-city.html
Hi This blog is a record of my experience getting a fellowship as an English Language Teacher Trainer in Ukraine. Enjoy! Saturday, May 19, 2007. In Kyiv right now it is in the 80's. Talk about a heat wave . . . we have no A/C in our apartment. The 300-mile train trip was pleasant and allowed us to see the landscape and farmland southeast of Kyiv. Was right in the center of town; people didn't seem to know if this "monument" even had a name or not. The figures looked very 'proud' and 'happy' to be on ...

Peonies and Pistols: Baby crack
http://peonies-and-pistols.blogspot.com/2014/03/baby-crack.html
March 1, 2014. Baby crack is what Todd and I call these fruit and veggie pouches. We call them that because Rosie can't get enough. She wants them. She neeeeeds. Them She has to have them! The first time I saw these things, my friend's daughter was drinking one. I thought, why not just give your daughter a bite of whatever fruit was in the pouch? And you know what? I willingly toss one her way. Because she's freaking out for fruits. And she basically is. March 1, 2014 at 9:11 PM. She seems to love these&...

If you click here. You can see pictures from my Labor Day trip to Pondicherry, a former French enclave which, since my trip, has been officially renamed Puducherry. Posted by John at 02:36. Pictures from Malaysia (August 2006). To see this set of photos from my trip to Malaysia with some work friends, first the capital city of Kuala Lumpur with the world's (current) tallest building, then on to the island group called Langkawi, with lots of sandy beaches and palm trees.
