Adventures in Aswan: October 2008
http://adventuresinaswan.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 21, 2008. Starting to feel like home. Any time you move to a new place you have to expect to feel out of place, out of sorts, and that everything is unfamiliar. Put that together with moving to a foreign country and you add a whole other dimension to the feeling of being an outsider that doesn’t quite belong. One of these things is not like the other? Friday, October 10, 2008. Getting down to business. Thursday, October 2, 2008. Some time under the sun. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). CIDA P...

Produce Rocks My Socks. Sunday, March 08, 2009. The Prettiest Story Ever. This is a story that began in November, but ended just recently. NUBIA: Go over there and pretend to interview that cow! LAUREN: Okay. (Thinking: This cow is huge and holy crap could he hurt me if he wanted to). The dress and procession! After the church ceremony was finished, the procession left the church and walked around town while on lookers clapped. Eventually we ended up at their house where a DJ had set up (of course!

Produce Rocks My Socks. Saturday, June 24, 2006. Manuel Lallemand (Brother to Manual Labor). Tues June 6th, 2006 -Thurs. June 8th, 2006 (Days 5-7). I have discovered since coming here that the work you do in the mornings before walking to the village have absolutely nothing to do with conservation. Here is a list of some of the things I have done while here:. 1 Clean mud out of a pool. 2 Haul stones up a hill. 3 Carve steps into the soil. 4 Build paths of dirt. It Was a Dark and Stormy Night.

http://adventuresinaswan.blogspot.com/2009/04/small-diversion.html
Monday, April 27, 2009. I've been MIA for over a week, but for good reason.I spent the last week in Jordan! Then it was back to Amman where a few of Matt and Robyn's friends came over had we had some amazing lamb for Easter dinner. That's all for now, I'll be on my way back to Aswan this evening and back to the office tomorrow for the start of what's looking like a busy last month in Egypt. That sounds like a very fun diversion steph! Can't wait to see you! April 29, 2009 at 12:40 PM. 20 016 534 2183.

Audrey Blogs: November 2008
http://audreycanblog.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 27, 2008. How to make a joke.in Spanish. Improving my Spanish. Learning about work for a non-profit. Experiencing a new culture. These are things I knew I would learn coming into this internship. But I've come to realize that I'm also learning skills I didn't anticipate, skills I didn't even know existed. Besides getting around the language barrier, there are a few other skills I'm learning from living in a developing country. Tuesday, November 18, 2008. To give the city credit, it was...

Thursday, January 22, 2009. You´ll laugh about this one day. After a couple weeks, when your package doesn´t show up, you do some investigating to realize that that mystery package was intended for you.
