Mysteries of the Orient: April 2007
http://neallyweally.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 22, 2007. Did You Know I'm Korean? Party People All Around. Mama, tamen shi shenme ren? Mom, where are those people from? Haven't been up to much lately, just a few birthday parties and end-of-week parties. A few weeks ago our recently arrived French teacher had a birthday, and we went to the night market for dinner before Allyssa and I split off for the club. This is one of two in Weihai, and by far the better one. Check out the videos below. Nadeige's birthday cake and butcher knife:.

Mysteries of the Orient: January 2007
http://neallyweally.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 18, 2007. I must say, this was the first real time I have been completely frustrated with being in China. All the little things that get on my nerves, like ineptitude, arbitrariness, stupid rules, hierarchies, and problems arising from a simple lack of communication, came together for one horrific experience. Little did I know my next breakdown would come just a few days later. Rain doesn't mean any fewer people are out, though:. The Old City in Shanghai:. A butcher in the Old City:.

Mysteries of the Orient: May 2007
http://neallyweally.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 29, 2007. The party secretary told me that she had a talk with the student and asked her to stop the improper behavior right away. The student felt a bit afraid and losing face, and she agreed. I hope she will not disturb you any more. If she does, please let me know as soon as possible. Let's hope that the situation changes, though I imagine my last few weeks teaching her will remain awkward. From Stalker's myspace profile from May 28:. And an international (Korean Korean Japanese American)...

Lwala Diaries: July 2007
http://lwaladiaries.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
A collection of Abbie's photos and emails from summers 2006 and 2007 in Lwala, Kenya, a rural, remote African village near Lake Victoria. Monday, July 23, 2007. One of the highlights for me of the safari was when we saw a group of 10 elephants- two of which were babies- literally fifteen feet from our vehicle. One baby elephant crossed right in front of us, stopped to face us, and waved his trunk like he was saying Hey! It was pretty great. Vanderbilt.facebook.com/album.php? Posted by abbie at 10:42 AM.

Quito Diaries: Inaguraciòn
http://quitodiaries.blogspot.com/2007/10/inaguracin.html
An online journal of Abbie's year in Ecuador, where she and eight other recent college graduates will set up a new site for Manna Project International. Monday, October 15, 2007. I just got back from la inaguración (opening party) for our classes in San Francisco and even though we’re all completely exhausted (I’m currently writing this in bed), the party went so well and we couldn’t be more excited about starting our programs. So it’s official! Welcome kids and parents! Proud of her nametag.

Quito Diaries: Our country get-away
http://quitodiaries.blogspot.com/2007/09/our-country-get-away.html
An online journal of Abbie's year in Ecuador, where she and eight other recent college graduates will set up a new site for Manna Project International. Monday, September 10, 2007. Life in Quito, a huge city, is what you would expect it to be: busy! For now, I’m happy to live in the middle of the city with all its great restaurants, bars, libraries, churches, bakeries and coffee shops galore… but I think I might have left my heart in the quiet, little towns of Santa Isabel and San Francisco.
