Exceptional Excerpts From My Life: Food of the Philippines
http://exceptionalexcerpts.blogspot.com/2009/05/food-of-philippines.html
Exceptional Excerpts From My Life. Sunday, May 24, 2009. Food of the Philippines. Since the main Philippines post was rather technical, and it wouldn't be one of my travel reviews without talking about what I ate, here's a brief recap. Possibly the most refreshing thing I ate the whole trip was the homemade peanut flavored ice cream bar purchased off the back of a motorbike near Mt. Kanlaon. Amazing. How these people live without ice and frozen confections in such a hot climate is a mystery t...At other ...

Exceptional Excerpts From My Life. Wednesday, November 12, 2008. The weather has definitely shifted here. The thermometer on my alarm clock informed me it was a brisk 59 degrees Farenheight. Washing hands every 30 minutes and eating multiple. A day has become a daily routine. If only Japanese restrooms had soap in them (which I am sure is better at preventing the spread of germs than a piece of cottony paper with ear straps from the dollar store)! Read it while eating a.

Exceptional Excerpts From My Life. Wednesday, September 23, 2009. As you may have guessed, there was a lot going on during my last 3 months in Japan, and not a whole lot of time to work on the blog. I don't know if I have the patience to get entirely caught up again, but I will try to highlight some of the major events. For pictures of some of my latest traveling adventures both in Japan and back here in the US, please take a peek at my Facebook. Albums. More to come, I promise! I am currently applying f...

Exceptional Excerpts From My Life: October 2008
http://exceptionalexcerpts.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Exceptional Excerpts From My Life. Friday, October 24, 2008. A Beautiful Fall Day. Full of lunch, we hopped a bus for the ferry port, took the ferry to Nokonoshima, and got on another bus to take us to the "Island Park," with it's famed hillside of pink and white cosmos flowers. The weather was really nice, so we weren't exactly the only people there, but the people watching added to the fun. Follow me to the cosmos patch! Oooo look, we made it! Based on this picture alone, it's going to be a good one ;-).

Exceptional Excerpts From My Life. Wednesday, September 23, 2009. Welcome back to civilization".

I haven't really been living in a jungle or anything for the past two years.and if Vegas is what civilization is all about, I might have to rethink things a bit. I had no idea you could see the Strip from the airport.but hey! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Exceptional Excerpts From My Life: August 2008
http://exceptionalexcerpts.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Exceptional Excerpts From My Life. Sunday, August 31, 2008. There's no place like home. The gorgeous Sonoran desert, home sweet home. Phoenix looked almost exactly as I left it. Riding home from the airport, I felt like I had just woken up from a strange Rip Van Winkle nap, rather than actually having spent a whole year in a foreign country. The presents in my bag assured me that I was indeed conscious and living in Japan for a year. Phew. Friends and family aside, the three best things about going home:.
