http://cadyandpeter.blogspot.com/2008/09/first-3-weeks.html
Cady and Peter in Mongolia! Tuesday, September 16, 2008. The First 3 Weeks. So far, it has gone like this:. My school again declared that the first day of classes would be one week before the generally accepted day of the opening of all Mongolian schools, 1 September. The opening day ceremony was held one week after classes were supposed to start. I gave a speech in Mongolian. Of the 2,000 students our school has, 100 or so came. My teaching schedule has changed 5 times. I am now team teaching. This ...

Cady and Peter in Mongolia!: July 2008
http://cadyandpeter.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Cady and Peter in Mongolia! Monday, July 21, 2008. The PCMO (Peace Corps Medical Officer) gave me a whole lot of stripable free weights from his personal gym this past weekend. I'm working out at home now, but I'm back in business. Thursday, July 3, 2008. The most difficult part of all this is that going to that gym has been my mental health outlet. I have really relied on that gym. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Our Address and Phone Numbers. Please copy and paste both the English and Mongolian).

Cady and Peter in Mongolia!: May 2008

Cady and Peter in Mongolia! Tuesday, May 13, 2008. One secondary project I spend a lot of my time on is "Trafficking in Persons," or "TIP", related issues.

Cady and Peter in Mongolia!: October 2008
http://cadyandpeter.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Cady and Peter in Mongolia! Friday, October 31, 2008. A World to Admire. It stands 6.43 feet in height and stretches 12.86 feet in length along a well-chosen hallway in my school. It is in a spot where students pass by each day. As far as I know, 3 other PCVs have done a similar map project in their former schools. Some are bigger, some smaller. Some are more accurate, others not so much. On over all aesthetic appeal, ours is hard to beat. I often stand at a distance and watch students point to countries...

Cady and Peter in Mongolia!: A Countryside Wedding
http://cadyandpeter.blogspot.com/2008/10/countryside-wedding_25.html
Cady and Peter in Mongolia! Saturday, October 25, 2008. And Khugjmaa, a sort of surrogate mother figure to me, made, on my behalf, unbeknownst to me, a request for invitation to the nuptials. How fortuitous! I could not help but wonder, though, what does a traditional countryside Mongolian wedding look like? What part would I take in it? Click here to read more! Vivid,v.interesting.thanks.Any chance. Of seeing the photos? January 17, 2009 at 6:43 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Cady Sinnwell, PCV.

Cady and Peter in Mongolia!: August 2008
http://cadyandpeter.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Cady and Peter in Mongolia! Friday, August 22, 2008. Home, Sweet NEW Home. We have moved to.the other side of town. Actually, we are really rather pleased with our new home. In a way it's as if we've earned an upgrade. And, this place is an upgrade:. A kitchen with lots of cupboards (at last, storage space). A kitchen sink with an additional water filter tapper. Real wood floor hallways. A nook large enough for a small office space. A real sink that has its own faucet. 3 minutes from the post office.

Cady and Peter in Mongolia! Wednesday, February 27, 2008. Where the heck are we? It's time we set the record straight! Since arriving in Mongolia- we've gotten lots of questions and emails from friends, family, and people interested in where we are, what were doing, and how we do it! Most recently, we recieved our alumni magazine from Ripon College. We eagerly flipped through the pages, very much interested in all things Ripon, and all the amazing construction and improvements happening! Mongolian tradit...

Cady and Peter in Mongolia!: Ninja Halloween
http://cadyandpeter.blogspot.com/2008/11/ninja-halloween.html
Cady and Peter in Mongolia! Friday, November 7, 2008. I’m generally not a fan of holidays, especially when I’m required to dress up, but this year I really did enjoy Halloween with my students. My 28th Halloween was their first. 8221; and “Wa ha ha! 8221; I doubled over in laughter. Not yet disguised, partly in dread fear of my own humiliation, they asked: “You do not wear costume, Mr. Gerlach! You’d think I’d just told them that Chinggis Khan was Chinese. “NO! 8221; they roared. “NOW! I had to go with i...
