A recovering lawyer roaming the globe. Sunday, October 14, 2012. Thoughts on entering the twilight of my tour. Speaking of exploring, one of our foreign national coworkers took us through the temporary night market set up during Ramadan this year. This photo is tiny quail, fried crispy. Another popular item was handmade punch-like mixtures in dozens of flavors. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Thoughts on entering the twilight of my tour. Wanderings of a Cheerful Stoic.

Career Diplomat: Meet the new boss, same as the old boss
http://careerdiplomat.blogspot.com/2012/07/meet-new-boss-same-as-old-boss.html
A recovering lawyer roaming the globe. Saturday, July 21, 2012. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Reading through some of my old posts this evening, I am remembering how I felt when I was on the outside looking in, and wanting so desperately to get "the call" and join the Foreign Service. There's just no arguing that it's a dream job, and it's even better than I thought it would be. If any of you out there are still "looking in," keep trying - it's worth it. July 22, 2012 at 8:30 AM. How to Win Fr...

A recovering lawyer roaming the globe. Tuesday, July 30, 2013. Moving on - home leave and training. I've been in training for a few weeks, and it's a nice interlude before the start of my next adventure. I will be in language training until December, and while there are small frustrations, I'm pleased to have the opportunity to learn Spanish. The best part? Hasta luego, y'all. Links to this post.

Career Diplomat: Goodbye Asia
http://careerdiplomat.blogspot.com/2013/05/goodbye-asia.html
A recovering lawyer roaming the globe. Sunday, May 12, 2013. I said my bittersweet goodbyes to Singapore - there are so many wonderful things and people there that I will miss - and I reluctantly packed my stuff and shuffled out of the country. My last few weeks were filled with "one more times" for favorite restaurants and places. I sincerely hope to be posted there again someday. My China experience was different this time around. The first day was so clear! Skyline on Day 2 - smoggier today. I also to...

A recovering lawyer roaming the globe. Thursday, July 26, 2012. Kuala Lumpur: The most exotic place I could think of at the time. Not a simple process. Worth it, but not simple. The famous "twin towers" at night. Now I just need to plan a trip to Timbuktu! Links to this post. Saturday, July 21, 2012. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Singapore does many things very well, but Mexican food is not one of them. I'm looking forward to the tacos. Oh, and the guacamole. This tour is probably ...Also, the...

Wednesday, August 29, 2012. Love Thy (Camping) Neighbor. About a month ago, we packed up our camping gear and headed south to Las Cañadas Campamento. In Ensenada, Mexico. After a two hour drive, we found the campground just south of the city and right off the highway. As we waited in line to enter the campground on that early Friday afternoon, we had no idea what to expect other than no reservations were needed for camping. But where should we camp? Chris asked her in Spanish. Saturday, August 25, 2012.

Wednesday, October 31, 2012. Thursday, October 11, 2012. I have this dream that life will settle into a normal pattern again one day and I will fall back into the blogging habit. However, today is not that day. Instead, I offer word vomit. Watch out for the spray. Andrew: "Where my kitchen? Me: "It's in a big box on its way to our new house in North Carolina.". Andrew: "Oh. Where my guitar? Andrew: "Oh. Where my kitchen? Me: Banging my head on the wall. And that, my friends, is all I have time to write r...
