Old Things and Food Things. Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Bier Hier Ja Ja Ja. I'm back in London, staying at my Aunt's house while she stays at my parents house in California. I've been playing a combination of trailer trash and homemaker for the last two days. I've managed to cook three meals (I made home fries! I miss home fries so much! I love eggs and potatoes! Now I'm going to tell you a story about Beer. I said. "what are you doing in my bed" he repeated. It's not). The Australian managed to dri...

Old Things and Food Things. Thursday, December 25, 2008. Christmas: Candy, Chamomile, and Clotted Cream. Here is a pretty view from the skating rink at Alexander Palace:. But High Tea is barely about the Tea. It's about the finger sandwiches (cucumber sandwiches! Full of chocolate and Christmas cheer we walked back home through a nearly deserted Hyde Park. Friday, December 19, 2008. A tale of two free meals. He said. "Yes" I said. Dante metro area had homeless people everywhere. Luckily (for ...Now many ...

Old Things and Food Things. Monday, May 25, 2009. Not So Ready Anymore. I chose the name ReadyRachel because I was ready. I was ready to go on my trip. I was ready to see the world. Once I was in a hostel in Germany and a boy came in with a knife and a bucket of warm water. “what are you doing? 8221; I asked. “I have an ingrown toenail” he said, “and I need to cut it out”. 8221; he exclaimed. Like a Boy Scout, I was prepared. I don’t think that one can stay ready forever though. I do...Which may ke...

ReadyRachel's Travel Blog: What Twisted Webs We Weave
http://readyrachel.blogspot.com/2009/05/what-twisted-webs-we-weave.html
Old Things and Food Things. Friday, May 1, 2009. What Twisted Webs We Weave. Eight months into this trip and lying has finally become near flawless for me. This sounds like a bad thing, but is actually a good development in terms of safety, awkwardness, and general ease of single female travel. The other day I ran into a group of 5 guys in the evening. “are you alone? Now I’m always on my way to meet my boyfriend. He’s usually at Capitol. Why? So now, when asked where I am from by locals or sketchy ...

http://readyrachel.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Old Things and Food Things. Friday, October 31, 2008. But Tam does not have €200, and all expense paid vacations need to be shared [If you want to go to Majorca in the next few weeks I will totally join you there]. So then it´s 11, and it´s time for bed. Tomorrow Madrid will reveal itself! And what am I going to do with my car? And should I go to grad school? I can´t call up anyone because it´s too expensive anyways, but I won´t call for those reasons because I get to go to Italy next week! The Alhambra ...

ReadyRachel's Travel Blog: Tioman Vacation
http://readyrachel.blogspot.com/2009/05/tioman-vacation.html
Old Things and Food Things. Monday, May 18, 2009. My Friends Raj and Gayatri and I headed to Tioman Island in Malaysia over Easter. Tioman was fantastic and delicious. Here are pictures:. We chose to eat fish again the next night rather than take them up on their generous offer. Nice try, boys. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm 24. I've decided to travel the world, or some subsection thereof. Not So Ready Anymore. The Hemp Temp part II. Factually Correct, but Awkward none-the-less.

Old Things and Food Things. Friday, January 30, 2009. Thursday, January 29, 2009. One Week Thoughts on Zhuhai. Firstly, China is so cheap! I can buy street snacks for $0.50. On my first night here I went out to dinner with 4 people, we split 5 dishes and 6 large beers, The total came to 150 yen, or $22. Some shops are open 24 hours a day to buy sodas and incidentals, there are so many diverse food options available everywhere! Also, they make Oreos with Peanut Butter. Yum-tastic. Directions: Clean hands ...

http://readyrachel.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Old Things and Food Things. Friday, February 27, 2009. It's that plumbing is always preferable to having your house sink into the muck. And bats and fish and French people and the dark and spiders and snakes and mayonnaise. Thursday, February 26, 2009. It was 95 degrees outside with 90% humidity. I had been in Laos for three days, and was going to take the patch that everyone there does - take a bus to Vang Vien. Go tubing down a river filled with make-shift bars, go to Luang. The pool was closed. In fac...

Old Things and Food Things. Wednesday, May 13, 2009. Factually Correct, but Awkward none-the-less. I got called for jury duty in DC. Unfortunately I will not be there, because I do not live there. I called to tell them this. You have to prove that you don't live in dc" said the county clerk phone operator. But you can't prove a negative" I stated. There was silence. She asked if I wanted to defer. I said yes. In 90 days I might have a better answer. Ha, that's good stuff. May 13, 2009 at 7:27 AM.
