tefltraveler in Indonesia: April 2009
http://kristibishop.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
In my last post (a little more than 3 weeks ago) I mentioned ending silence - that of the internet blogging variety. This post is going to be about the subject of silence itself. The silence I wish to speak of is that required of all residents of Bali for one whole day every year. The reason? The Balinese new year holiday of Nyepi, which fell on March 26 this year. 2) no working - it's a time to stay home with family and meditate, reflect on life and its relationships, etc. So how did we spend Nyepi?

tefltraveler in Indonesia: November 2008
http://kristibishop.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
One of the things I could count on when I was in Africa last year was that I couldn't. However last night wasn't quite as enjoyable of a blackout for me. I'm guessing that with the arrival of the rainy season and its stormy weather I can expect power outages a bit more frequently here. I just hope that next time I won't be in the shower. A break from school. for now. Is Bali really that remote? But outgoing mail is a much bigger challenge. My frustration began when I tried to mail in my US election ballo...

tefltraveler in Indonesia: Taking Care of Each Other
http://kristibishop.blogspot.com/2009/02/taking-care-of-each-other.html
Taking Care of Each Other. As I began making my newsletter for January, I realized there were some things in it that I could post here in order to save myself space and use it for things I really couldn't post here. Plus, I have been really lazy in posting to this blog. So the following is an excerpt originally intended for the newsletter (which subscribers should receive within a week):.

tefltraveler in Indonesia: January 2009
http://kristibishop.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
I’m a bit embarrased that I haven’t updated this blog for the last month. But then I considered that since December is a very busy month for everyone at home, with holiday preparations and events and family time, why should it be different for me? It was just as busy a month for me, though with different things than for those of you at home. So now that the holidays are over and things are starting to settle back down into normalcy, I can start to fill you in on how I’ve spent the last month. I spent a m...

tefltraveler in Indonesia: September 2008

The 5 Senses in Bali: Sight (Part 2). One of the other things we see walking along our road is a western-style restaurant/cafe called Gateway, which doubles as an auxillary campus for a Norwegian university. Therefore the clientelle is almost exclusively Norwegian studenst studying abroad, plus other foreigners that have discovered it. It's the closest place I can go to get brick oven pizza, fajitas, and sandwiches. The 5 Senses in Bali: Sight. First I'll start with sight. Of course, ready is a relative ...

tefltraveler in Indonesia: December 2008
http://kristibishop.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Rainy Season is Here. Indonesia's 4 to 5 month rainy season has been gradually kicking into gear since early-mid November. It has rained a few days a week, usually in the late evening and over night, proving itself not too horrible an inconvenience. Yet all I've heard from the locals is that the REAL rainy season is yet to come. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Financial provision for life, study, and ministry in Bali.
