So You Want To Teach In Asia! Sunday, July 25, 2010. Warm Desks and Muddy Friends! Sorry for not updating sooner. My mom pointed out to me the fact that it is has been more than two weeks since my last entry. I know that there are (at least a couple of you) besides my mom who read this, so sorry to keep you waiting! Much of my time recently has been consumed by studying for the GRE.but I'll talk about that later. Here's the update. Boram making a wish. And blowing out the candles. We started by walking a...

Steppe by Steppe | A Tepid Reception
https://tepidreception.wordpress.com/2010/07/22/steppe-by-steppe
July 22, 2010. I am newly returned from my venture into the vast expanse of the Mongolian countryside. Ok, so pretty much all of Mongolia outside of the capital is the countryside. Even the provincial capital of Tsetserleg, where we spent two nights, was a few streets of shops, a heavy sprinkle of outlying homes and gers, and then nothingness. So maybe I’m just gonna go up against the few fears/apprehensions I hold? Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Address never made public). Blog at ...

Now this is happening | A Tepid Reception
https://tepidreception.wordpress.com/2011/02/08/now-this-is-happening
February 8, 2011. Now this is happening. Thank you Xanax. I spent 6.5 of my 7.5 hour overnight flight from Kuala Lumpur to Melbourne asleep. Which made it a little strange to wake up and suddenly be in the summer, in upside-down land (where hamburgers eat people), big and clean and modern and full of whities who are there legally. I’ve been here four hours and here are a few observations:. I went to the attached liquor store and bought a beer. Oops. Laquo; Dong Song. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. You are c...

The postest with the mostest | A Tepid Reception
https://tepidreception.wordpress.com/2010/06/20/the-postest-with-the-mostest
June 20, 2010. The postest with the mostest. Dear my friends. Time has passed, yes? I’m sorry. Here is an overview of where I’ve been, who I’ve seen and what I’ve eaten this past few weeks. Let’s call it A Tale of 7 Cities. Florence: I’m glad I came back here after my initial rainy gray experience. The weather was nice, and the city was teeming with tourists. TEEMING! So Now I’m in Riga, Latvia. It’s raining, boo. Tomorrow I’m meeting many strangers 45km south of the city to cel...Laquo; Check, please.

Adventures in SoKo: January 2011
http://bareyourseoul.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
So You Want To Teach In Asia! Wednesday, January 26, 2011. Though I'm currently in Taiwan, I wanted to wish all my SASsy friends a very Happy Wave Day! In January 2005, we had no January 27th.and two January 26ths. That is the kind of bizarro world you live in when you zig zag across the international date line while being chased by low pressure systems and 65 foot waves. Labels: embrace the random. Friday, January 21, 2011. Journal from my student Eric. I love the giant squid entry. One of the cooking l...

Dong Song | A Tepid Reception
https://tepidreception.wordpress.com/2010/09/10/dong-song
September 10, 2010. As I improved I warmed my system up with pho and Vietnamese iced coffees, and then I went on a two-day trip to Halong Bay where there was much fish. But what I really longed for was bun cha. Oh, and it cost 30,000 dong, $1.50. Then I had more iced coffee. I think I love Hanoi, btw. I’m serious. Laquo; Steppe by Steppe. Now this is happening.

Mongrels | A Tepid Reception
https://tepidreception.wordpress.com/2010/07/06/mongrels
July 6, 2010. So the epic train ride is over! I had my fears that I would be in a cabin with three sweaty, loud, drunk Russian men. This was not the case! Here is what transpired. First, in typical fashion I completely misread the metro directions and went to the wrong stop, found myself at the wrong train station, panicked, couldn’t get any help from the workers, then finally gave up and took a (overpriced) taxi. So I barely had any roubles, but I didn’t miss my train! I did a lot of reading. When I ret...

Paka | A Tepid Reception
https://tepidreception.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/paka
June 30, 2010. Here are the facts. Russia is not at all terrible. I might even go so far as to say I like it? That evening we met up for a midnight boat ride! I also purchased my first real souvenir of the trip: a sweet watch. I got it at a stand in a little souvenir market run by my friend George the Georgian. First I checked em out and slept on it. Then I came back and bought the white face with a hammer and sickle as hands. I was so happy! So, with that, I come to the end of the European part of my ad...

Epcot | A Tepid Reception
https://tepidreception.wordpress.com/2010/07/12/epcot
July 12, 2010. As evidence of my refusal to carry an ethos by which to travel (which is itself, I suppose, an ethos), I’d like to share that I just finished that Talmud of chick-reads, Eat, Pray, Love. And I’m about to crack open series read du jour, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I’m in Mongolia, the book exchange isn’t full of German titles for once, and I’ll do what I want. Then I’m gonna read Kinky Freidman and think about Austin. Yes. Any tips on this leg of my journey are thoroughly appreciated!
