Kenzi on Trek: Thailand
http://kenzimarkling.blogspot.com/2008/11/thailand.html
Tuesday, November 4, 2008. At the airport, I met up with my mom, Tamara (Brasilian exchange student) and SURPRISE! My brother Nico. My mom, being the mushball that she is, grew teary-eyed when the time came to say farewell. I did better than I thought (perhaps I was feeling too many emotions at once). Up in the sky. During the whole flight, Fergie's song, "Glamorous" kept running through my head. "We're flying first class, up in the sky.etc.". And then at last, we arrived in Bangkok. We spent the first n...

Going into slums and teaching kids English, using the bible. I instantly fe...

Kenzi on Trek: Harvest
http://kenzimarkling.blogspot.com/2008/11/different-but-same-so-i-have-been.html
Friday, November 21, 2008. Sorry for the cliche photo of a white girl holding a dark-skinned child. But she's a cutie, eh? Different but the Same. So I have been tallying a mental list of things that are different here in Thailand. Now, with that said, there are many similarities around the world with these aspects of life here but I will say them anyways. The Playboy bunny symbol represents innocence and purity. How in the world did that get lost in translation years ago? Joey doesn't share FOOD! It's n...

Kenzi on Trek: December 2008
http://kenzimarkling.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 17, 2008. They say that if you're here long enough, the smell of burning grass evokes the realization that Christmas is around the corner. Not snow. Not lights. Not Mom's peanut brittle. Burning grass. However, they failed to mention that some stores blatently blast Christmas carols and it is during moments like these that Christmas feels real. Can I get three cheers for the white-washing of Thailand? In the grip of His grace,. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Kenzi on Trek: First Week
http://kenzimarkling.blogspot.com/2008/11/first-week.html
Sunday, November 9, 2008. Chan chuue Kao-Pohd kaa. My name is "Corn". Don't ask me why. I'm guessing it's because of my hair. But come the first day in Thailand they gave me my Thai nickname. Apparently it's cute- the kind of cute where you put the 'peace' sign with your fingers up to your face. I can't imagine "corn", or any vegetable for that matter, being cute back home. Instead of a "C", for example, it is more of a watermelon shape. Just thought you should know. The Smiles, The Faces. If you've ever...
