http://kalikakastein.blogspot.com/2012/12/here-today-gone-tomorrow.html
Tuesday, December 18, 2012. Here Today, Gone Tomorrow. I'm sitting at the volunteer house right now watching music televison. It's so mesmerizing that Joanna started laughing at me sitting zombie-eyed at the T.V. "You're really glued to that, huh? I shook my head to snap myself out of it. It was a Justin Bieber music video. I have no shame. How sitting mesmerized in front of a Justin Bieber music video makes it feel as if no time has passed at all.don't judge. All of us, at one point or another, fail to ...

kalikakastein: Be New
http://kalikakastein.blogspot.com/2012/12/be-new.html
Sunday, December 30, 2012. Cells change every five years, you know," Veronica sat across from me during Thanksgiving while I was stuffing my face with a second slice of pumpkin pie. So basically you're a completely different person every five years," she finished. I started humming the Twilight Zone. Well, Peace Corps experience has certainly changed how amazing pumpkin pie tastes on my taste buds. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. This will change your life.". And "life will change this.".

Tuesday, October 23, 2012. Try this "cherise" on for size, nightshade plant, tamarillo, Chinese tomato, tree tomato, tomate de árbol, dutch eggplant, solanum betaceum. Come to Your Scentses. I've been cooking with cloves lately, and when I march up the steps in my house I can sometimes catch wafts of whatever I've making. I finally discovered cloves are sold among the other spices that are pushed along in wheelbarrows in the market and they remind me of seasons changing.of winter.of home. I'm sorry I sme...

kalikakastein: June 2013
http://kalikakastein.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 15, 2013. And Then There Were None. The dingy, poorly-lit, and permanently dirt-stained interior of the bottom floor of the restaurant "La Jardin Balen" ranks among one of the nicest restaurants in Bafang. Drab interior relflected my downer mood. I had been letting tears fall off my cheeks ever since Chiho started saying her goodbyes to her collegues. Now I was one of the only ones left waiting to hug her, flanked only by my counterpart, Carine. A few days later I saw all of you again....

kalikakastein: We Will Never Understand
http://kalikakastein.blogspot.com/2013/06/we-will-never-understand.html
Saturday, June 15, 2013. We Will Never Understand. And you must know this law of culture: two civilsations cannot really know and understand one another well. You will start going deaf and blind. You will be content in you own civilisation.but signals from the other civilisation will be as incomprehensible to you as if they had been sent by tthe inhabitants of Venus.

kalikakastein: Tea and Sympathy
http://kalikakastein.blogspot.com/2012/12/tea-and-sympathy.html
Thursday, December 27, 2012. Oohwow. Le pastèque! Tu peut donner moi ça, no. Massa (short for "Master") Yo asked. He stood outside his boutique and pointed at my watermelon with his wooden crutch. Eh," I said with a smile. "I looked hard for that in the market," I said, patting my small, pale green watermelon. I was buying some small items: eggs and Lipton tea. He interrupted my thought with a question, "Are there people like me in your country? He said while lifting his crutch. View my complete profile.

kalikakastein: Hair-Raising Wisdom from the Barber Chair
http://kalikakastein.blogspot.com/2012/11/hair-raising-wisdom-from-barber-chair.html
Thursday, November 1, 2012. Hair-Raising Wisdom from the Barber Chair. 8220;Well behaved women rarely make history” read the magnetized placard hanging lopsided on the fridge. A woman with a broad smile was plastered across it, the painting-esque ones from government posters in the 40’s or the Sears Roebuck catalogue. Her teeth were so white and her grin so wide that her teeth were a solid brick of white. All I Ever Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. Lesson: Save the drama for your mamma. Lesson: ...

http://kalikakastein.blogspot.com/2012/11/vibro.html
Sunday, November 11, 2012. I closed my gate, ready to lock it when I heard the door bell ring again. Leonard, my community host had just stopped by to say "good evening." Who could it be now? I opened the gate again to find Leonard standing there. I just thought you'd be happy to know that I bought Carine and I a Vibro.". I stood there. A bit shocked. A re my ears really that caked in dirt? I tried not to finish that thought. Nope My ears aren't deceiving me. I'm not sure what that is.". I thought you'd ...
