My Overseas Journey(s), Unfiltered: December 2011

My Overseas Journey(s), Unfiltered. OK, it's a little filtered. Thursday, December 22, 2011. Cape Town and other Beautiful Things. You can see one of the World Cup stadiums to the left. Interestingly, climbing down Table Mountain was also like doing 2000 lunges, except instead of putting all my weight on my quads, I put it on my knees. I'd recommend taking the cable car. All of the tour guides are former political prisoners. Recreational area for prisoners. Made entirely out of Coca-Cola crates. The area...

My Overseas Journey(s), Unfiltered. OK, it's a little filtered. Saturday, February 5, 2011. My first day of teaching. I had my first day as a teacher a little over a year ago. The weekend before my first teaching week, I went to the school to meet with my bosses and supervisor. The school was located on a busy street literally bounding with academies. Looming snow-capped hills provided an interesting juxtaposition (and my first experience with the Korean love for the outdoors). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

My Overseas Journey(s), Unfiltered. OK, it's a little filtered. Thursday, November 18, 2010. If I were a Chinese animal, I'd want to be a panda. We had just one thing on our itinerary: the Beijing Zoo. After a leisurely breakfast, we headed there via subway. It was oddly quiet on the subway that morning, which we assumed was because it was Sunday. After receiving the pink punishment on his neck and nose, J fortunately remembered to put on sun screen because it was another clear, hot day. The one animal t...

My Overseas Journey(s), Unfiltered. OK, it's a little filtered. Sunday, October 31, 2010. Sacred deer and a Giant Buddha. J and S's Grand Adventures in the East Part 4: Nara. We'd heard that they bow for biscuits. Turns out, so did we. You got any more of those biscuits? It's hard to tell how big he is, but I think I was about the size of his finger. There were huge throngs of people waiting in line (with deer interspersed). The temple was huge and they had lit several hundred (perhaps thousand? Being in...

I'm smiling, but that hurt. Like a kitten, but with sharper teeth and claws. Monday, November 14, 2011. The Coldest Winter I Ever Spent Was a Summer in Sub-Saharan Africa. With a low of freezing and a high of 70 (21 C), the winter was somewhat misleading. This is Africa, right? The cold served us well on safari. A...

My Overseas Journey(s), Unfiltered. OK, it's a little filtered. Tuesday, December 21, 2010. I'm kind of famous. My blog was chosen as one of "50 blogs for those interested in teaching abroad." Seriously! Three of my friends are on there too: Alisa's Adventures in Korean. LaToya's A Sistuh's Soul. And Sarah's Mokdong Magpie. You should check them out too! Thursday, December 16, 2010. I awoke to chaos. "My alarm didn't go off. It's 8:20! It was actually to the right, not the left. It started off with fairl...

My Overseas Journey(s), Unfiltered. OK, it's a little filtered. Saturday, June 11, 2011. Counting down the days. Pet a lion cub! Southwest Townships" where "colored" people mainly lived during apartheid. Nelson Mandela's former house and the Apartheid Museum are here. Partake of a braai:. Watch a rugby game. Have my DNA mapped: Apparently I can do this at the university where I'll be working. Visit the Cradle of Humankind. Visit all of the soccer stadia* that were in the World Cup. Oh yes, I did.

My Overseas Journey(s), Unfiltered. OK, it's a little filtered. Monday, October 15, 2012. My first attempt at buying a trash bag in Seoul. Instead of buying a ten liter bag, I bought a one hundred liter bag. My kitchen in Bordeaux. It wasn't long before I learned the words for "mouse droppings" - "crotte de souris.". Scotsmen really do wear kilts! What I like about living abroad is the reduced pressure to rush around taking pictures of iconic attractions in a span of a few days or weeks. I like that ...
