easydavid: Power

http://www.easydavid.com/2011/11/power.html

Tuesday, November 1, 2011. No worries, we thought. It isn't like a blizzard. It was concerning, though, that every snow-coated tree branch was pointing down at the ground. Then came the popping and cracking of branches being stripped off their trunks, and the thuds of next year's firewood hitting the ground. Maybe this was going to be a bit of a problem after all. Was buying my generator a kind of punishable idolatry? Fixing stuff and then blowing it up again? Shaded lamps glowed behind half-closed curta...

cxlxmxrx: 6/1/12 - 7/1/12

http://cxlxmxrx.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Yesterday, I left my home for a trip to Mongolia. I'm going with a health care NGO called Nomadicare. Which works to extend the health care available to nomadic herders in culturally relevant and sustainable ways. My plan is stay with the Dukha reindeer herders in northern Khovsgol province through the winter, living part-time in their winter camp and part-time in the nearby village of Tsagaannuur, where there is a rural hospital in which I can do some volunteer work. Friday, June 01, 2012. Series of pos...

Saturday, May 28, 2016. Final day in UB for now. Khongorzul with the new blood pressure cuff and stethoscope. Today was filled with the happiness of meeting an old friend coupled with anticipation for our trip north. Khongorzul, a reindeer herder from the East taiga who has just completed medical school, stopped by our apartment in Ulaanbaatar to pick up a stethoscope and blood pressure cuff donated by Nomadicare.

easydavid: The Jitters

http://www.easydavid.com/2011/12/jitters.html

Saturday, December 31, 2011. I've been traveling for many, many years. Not as many as some people, certainly, but often enough to know most of the ropes. So why do I get the jitters before a big trip? Among the worries that crop up are the usual suspects - have I packed everything I need? Did I leave anything undone at the office? Sooner or later, you will have to deal with something completely outside your experience; you will confront the Not You. I think, "they were traveling! The Road to Savannakhet.

easydavid: Heart of Darkness, Laos

http://www.easydavid.com/2012/01/heart-of-darkness-laos.html

Monday, January 9, 2012. Heart of Darkness, Laos. You may recall my earlier post about how during nearly every journey there is a moment when you confront the Other, the Not You. My moment came last night. We were in Vientiane, having returned from Luang Prabang earlier in the day, on the way to our hotel. We had stopped to visit the truly amazing Lao Textiles. Casing full of bomblets. The horror, indeed. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Road Trip to Shantiniketan. The Road to Savannakhet. It’s ...
