thoughts and actions and other things.: July 2008
http://direnzi.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Thoughts and actions and other things. Sunday, July 6, 2008. Bike trip from naruto to hiwasa. Today I'm at school with nothing more to do than feel the pain of my sunburn and blog about biking down south this past weekend. The students are taking their mid year exams but I, of course, still have to show up. Why? What country are you from? How long have you been in Japan? Where are you going? Are you an English teacher? The further I headed south, the steeper the hills were. I saw signs for the town o...

thoughts and actions and other things.: December 2008
http://direnzi.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Thoughts and actions and other things. Tuesday, December 16, 2008. A bit of small town life. Monday, December 15, 2008. Taichi's visit/back to southeast asia. I spent most of the day reading about Malaysia and Indonesia as the other teachers asked me questions about why I chose to go there during the break. Later on at the grocery store I saw a student who witnessed me shopping for tonight's dinner. I seriously thought that she was going to faint when I tapped her on the shoulder to say hello. Having fou...

thoughts and actions and other things.: March 2009
http://direnzi.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Thoughts and actions and other things. Wednesday, March 18, 2009. Kaki tabehodai (all you can eat oysters). Three people, two hours of eating, and, as a result, one week of good health according to Kennsuke. Friday, March 13, 2009. After all, it's well worth it. So, the fact that I'm getting out of Shikoku for a few weeks starting on Friday is a good thing. Last year I was off to New Zealand. Thursday, March 5, 2009. Last Saturday was Naruto Tech's graduation ceremony which prefaces pursuits of various f...

http://direnzi.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Thoughts and actions and other things. Friday, August 22, 2008. First food co-op delivery. On Friday I came home for lunch and found a five foot high stack of boxes in front of my door. This was a very exciting day because the first shipment of organic vegetables and various all-natural foods had successfully arrived. Not only am I very happy to be eating organic food once again, but having groceries delivered saves me a lot of biking to and from the store. Wednesday, August 20, 2008. After some expert r...

This spring | Watashi wa Juria desu!
https://juliamushalko.wordpress.com/2008/05/18/this-spring
Watashi wa Juria desu! Just another Wordpress.com weblog. May 18, 2008. The support and friendship I’ve received from people. Maki and her mom, Hayashi Sensei, Dorrie and Jeff. They are my lifelines, the barriers that stand in front of depression and loneliness. Skype and my webcam. Time difference aside, I can easily and limitlessly talk with my family and Jordan. I organized a trip around Japan that was the best vacation of me and Jordan’s lives. On the day after I finished I speech I almost didn’t do ...

Collisions | Watashi wa Juria desu!
https://juliamushalko.wordpress.com/2009/04/07/collisions
Watashi wa Juria desu! Just another Wordpress.com weblog. April 7, 2009. Collisions were a central part of our time in Hawaii. The first three days revolved around exploring geologic collisions while the last two days were the cultural collisions. Collision is not meant to be negative, but indicates the sudden meeting of two different things and how they form a whole. Collisions are the source of Hawaii’s existence, life and island spirit and constant evolution. On Oahu, speaking Japanese with Maki, bein...

一人旅 (a solo journey) | Watashi wa Juria desu!
https://juliamushalko.wordpress.com/2008/07/01/一人旅-a-solo-journey
Watashi wa Juria desu! Just another Wordpress.com weblog. 一人旅 (a solo journey). July 1, 2008. I’m not sure my new desire to hide from people is all and all a good thing, but there is a certain sense of accomplishment and power that comes from the realization that I am not afraid of being lonely anymore. I decided to take this new seed of confidence, put it in the nutrient rich environment of Hokkaido and let it blossom. From the hike up eniwa dake. From the hike up eniwa dake. I crashed at about 8pm agai...

Watashi wa Juria desu! Just another Wordpress.com weblog. 趣があるね My last winter in Sakata, Japan. March 6, 2008. In unison, amongst the sea of chanting and drumming, each osho san grabs a pile of books, takes each one and opens it with strength to have it unfold like an accordion. Quick! Open and close, grab it, open and close. The pages flap and snap back into place. Hup! The drum slows down again. The chanting slows down again. 4 Responses to “趣があるね My last winter in Sakata, Japan”. Also, my eyes and he...

Watashi wa Juria desu! Just another Wordpress.com weblog. When living alone isn’t great. February 19, 2008. My car won’t start! It’s cold, I don’t know about cars, I don’t know about cars in japanese and time isn’t stopping for me anytime soon. I want my dad! February 13, 2008. The world isn’t exactly our playground.
