Monday, January 21, 2008. Warning: this is a looooong one. I thought about breaking it up into sections, but most of the “sections” are more connected than I thought… so, 2 pages on Israel, 2 on Peace Corps, 2 in response to a NYTimes article about Peace Corps and 2 are the article. Enjoy! So, I went; with two friends from here! But really, that’s the last time I was a full-fledged tourist there. I remember then the awe of the Old City, the first time I saw the “mud” at the bottom o...While I was there I...

Wednesday, October 17, 2007. The little shriek of joy as i ride my bike past some little kid who yells out "ba muzungu! It makes me smile and cringe. that i can be labeled so easily seems to contradict my universal american sensibilities. and yet, it's true. and her excitement at my passing can't help but make me want to be nice to her. do i challenge her stereotypes or do i just exist in her world of friendly white people? Does it really matter? Friday, October 12, 2007. First, happy birthday dad! On th...

Tuesday, December 11, 2007. I was in the peace corps landcruiser the other day and there was luggage in front and 3 people behind me on the seat. this isn't that unusual as the seat is supposed to fit four people. what was unusual is that before i looked behind me and consciously saw the 3 other people i sat there thinking "gosh, i have so much space here today! Will i eventually go back to thinking that my house is small? Will i ever think that spending 1 MILLION zambian kwacha on the GMAT makes sense?

Friday, June 20, 2008. First, i'm in capetown! With my mom and sister. it's beautiful and lovely and friendly and clean and i ate sushi for dinner the first night! Third, things have been going well - i think i've been struggling, as always, with what sustainability means in my role here. how do i set up systems that might, possibly, if people want last? How do i encourage people who have never been told to take risks in school to try to take risks in facilitation or youth skills work? Hannah's attempt t...

Tuesday, February 26, 2008. I realized after a recent letter from my aunt that people have a lot of questions about what i'm doing here. but it's hard for me to know what those are and what to answer in these blogs. send me comments and i'll answer your questions! Sunshine, after a month of rain almost every day, is wonderful. in the last two weeks we've had a couple full days of sun and the breeze and the sun and my bike as i ride down trails make me just think "i'm in africa! And give him some food?

Friday, March 07, 2008. Safety first, arrive alive. I've just arrived in lusaka on the night bus (thank you juldan bus company for arriving safely! Watching the sun rise! Part of that thought made me think about these repeated thoughts i have about being in africa - "i'm on a bush path in africa! Or "i'm watching an african sunrise! Or smiling at the beautiful "african" patterns on the women's chitenges (skirts/shirts/colorful material). is it just some kind of neo-colonialist romanticism? Ok, have to go...

Hannah's Zambia Adventures: Dealing with Frustrations
http://hannahlantos.blogspot.com/2008/07/dealing-with-frustrations.html
Monday, July 28, 2008. Having my family here in general (both mom and em, and tess and dad a couple months ago) gave me a new sense of joy and an ability to look at some of the things that I’ve gotten frustrated at with a kind of new, more patient eye. Oh, it’s just ZAMBIA! Crowded, late, the driver’s rude…. Is it me or is it her? What am I doing wrong in how I explain the situation? Does she just not WANT it enough to make herself understand? 8221; I joked “how much DO they cost? That this just isn̵...
