The World Is My Country: December 2011
http://stevenmcarpenter.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
The World Is My Country. Friday, December 16, 2011. Movin' On Up.To Mexico! Yes, we’re already in Mexico…more specifically, we’re in Mexico City, our last stop before we fly back to the States next Tuesday. We apologize for the major delay of this blog entry, but lots of moving around, lots of sightseeing, and most recently, dreaded food poisoning (who would have thought delivery pizza could give such a gruesome Montezuma’s Revenge? Have prevented us from writing. We were clearly the cool kids of the gro...

The World Is My Country: April 2012
http://stevenmcarpenter.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
The World Is My Country. Friday, April 20, 2012. And We'll All Float On, All Right. I was pretty surprised to see this comment pop up a couple days ago on Donna's last blog entry:. Apr 17, 2012 07:44 AM. Ok, so it's been 4 months since this entry- what comes next? Well, Anonymous, since you asked, a lot has happened since that last entry. We went to Mexico City, which we never managed to blog about, sadly, since it was beautiful. In brief, we saw tons of art. El Piramide del Sol, Teotihuacan! Things from...

The World Is My Country: Guatemala: Where The Tourist Things Are
http://stevenmcarpenter.blogspot.com/2011/11/guatemala-where-tourist-things-are.html
The World Is My Country. Tuesday, November 29, 2011. Guatemala: Where The Tourist Things Are. November 29th, 2011. I could go on. But for us, the differences have been really apparent, and surprising. We've spent the last week or so in and around two places, Antigua:. Antigua is the most touristy city in Guatemala, much like Granada in Nicaragua, both mainly drawing on their historic churches and pretty scenery, around which modern development in the form of hotels/bars/restaurants has sprung up. In Guat...

The World Is My Country: January 2013
http://stevenmcarpenter.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
The World Is My Country. Wednesday, January 2, 2013. On Professionally Fluffing Pillows. On Professionally Fluffing Pillows. But back to the furniture gig. It warrants describing exactly how the position came to be, as far as I could piece together from my few brief hours of eavesdropping on people talking about it. The people I worked for were a furniture company that specialized in the manufacture of “casual furnishings,” which is to say patio furniture, but really, really. I realize I’m in dange...

The World Is My Country: Drift
http://stevenmcarpenter.blogspot.com/2013/02/drift.html
The World Is My Country. Saturday, February 2, 2013. I turned 27 last Sunday. I know that every year that goes by will feel as though it goes faster than the last one, but that was especially true of year 26 for me. I want to remember:. Spending 10 days living in a house with a dog with Donna, watching college basketball and cooking shows on TV and glimpsing domesticity. Trying black rice at a DC restaurant with Joayne, and saying I wished I could just keep being a PCV. Shooting free throws in my parents...

The World Is My Country: June 2011
http://stevenmcarpenter.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
The World Is My Country. Thursday, June 30, 2011. Why I'm a Vegetarian. The first time I remember really thinking about vegetarianism was in 9th grade, after reading the essays in the liner notes for Moby’s turn-of-the-millenium album Play. Moby is a vegan. And gave the following reasons for being so (to the best of my memory):. 1 It seems morally wrong to kill sentient beings that can make decisions, form families, and feel pain. I wasn't too far off! Ceviche (a cold seafood dish: strange, but good, as ...

The World Is My Country: May 2012
http://stevenmcarpenter.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
The World Is My Country. Thursday, May 10, 2012. One: My first day of work, I went to an elementary school on a Friday to teach English to 7. 8221; Then, whichever homeroom had taken that college’s name would stand up and do a little chant/dance routine relating to their university. They were almost uniformly adorable, especially the University of Michigan, as represented by some 2. 8221; or plays on quotes from the movie 300. Two: I was proctoring a math test in a different 8.
