Tigers and Teapots: June 2005
http://tigersandteapots.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
It used to be the exotic, now it's just the everyday. Thursday, June 30, 2005. The Latin American Cargo Pants.

As a result (hey I'm not whinging) I had to take my two pairs of cargo pants to be taken in. To my backside. My two most comfortable items of clothing now feel like something I would wear out clubbing with a pair of stillettos. Tuesday, June 28, 2005.

Or something like that, I simply cannot get my tiny mind (or over exercised tounge) around this change of language to Brasillian Portugese. It s quite a mind bender cause some words are similar to espanol while others certainly ain t. Have been in a quandry about how to speak to these people, ie: do I attempt some Spanish? But I whinge too much, we are sitting in the amusingly named town of Foz (just makes me think of the mu...

It used to be the exotic, now it's just the everyday. Tuesday, January 31, 2006. What better way to allay my rich western tourist angst and guilt after the trials and tribulations of Cambodia than with a quick pit stop for 7 days on the glorious tropical island? We are currently on the island of Koh Chang which is nestled in the Thai Gulf right near the border of thailand and cambodia. Posted by Kate Browne at 9:58 PM. Friday, January 27, 2006.

It used to be the exotic, now it's just the everyday. Monday, May 30, 2005. The Black Sheep Inn was lovely, all white adobe huts clinging to the side of an emerald green hill, flowers, birds, fat pet alsations, fat pet cuy and some not so fat pet Llamas. Add to this mix composting toilets bedecked with flowers an incredible view and delicious gourmet vegetarian meals and I was seriously hooked and happy. Posted by Kate Browne at 6:54 PM. Here come the chickens. Dialogue between Kate, Ed and Jonathon.

It used to be the exotic, now it's just the everyday. Friday, April 29, 2005. Four days into the espanol and I feel despondent. the more you study the more you realise you dont know. At the stage I am at I can relate very well to the little 2 yr olds I see on the street. I can point and say things like 'cat' 'dog' 'window' 'chair' but unfortunately as I am not two foot tall and as cute as a button I can't really get away with it. Posted by Kate Browne at 4:43 PM.

Imagine my delight at discovering a vegetarian restaurant in this small town.Imagine my dismay when the waitress cheerily offered me a choice of spicy Guinea Pig, Trout, beefsteak or chicken.
