It's Kili Time: March (Travel) Madness: Mt. Meru
http://itskilitime.blogspot.com/2011/03/march-travel-madness-mt-meru.html
Tuesday, March 29, 2011. March (Travel) Madness: Mt. Meru. I think I have probably mentioned one or a hundred times the lack of rain around here. All my complaining managed to catch up with me the one weekend I decided to be outdoors-y girl and drag my rear up the 15,000 ft mountain just outside of. Nevertheless, our weather-luck ran out quickly and the clouds quickly flew in. They managed to hold on to their precipitation for the first 4 hours or so, but then the higher we climbed and neared the sum...

It's Kili Time: About
http://itskilitime.blogspot.com/p/about.html
While we seem to have the hang of life here at the moment (at least that is the excuse I am stickin' to), it was well time to start focusing on sharing and recording our life here with a little creative exercise for Mama. It will mostly be me writing since I am not the one busy chasing down war criminals (that's Husband's j-o-b! But from time to time you might see something here about Roger's work with the UN. And running my own little specialty foods business. Thanks for visiting, Rebecca.

It's Kili Time: Still here, just not there anymore!
http://itskilitime.blogspot.com/2011/06/still-here-just-not-there-anymore.html
Saturday, June 11, 2011. Still here, just not there anymore! You all are used to long drawn-out pauses around here so I will save the excuses. We left Arusha about 3 weeks ago and have been traipsing across America ever since! We'll be visiting family and friends until June 30th when we embark on a 25 hour journey across the Pacific to our new home in Phnom Penh. At that point we will have traveled three quarters of the way around the globe from Arusha to America to Phnom Penh! June 11, 2011 at 2:23 AM.

It's Kili Time: For the Momma's
http://itskilitime.blogspot.com/2009/07/for-mommas.html
Sunday, July 26, 2009. Of course the converse of all this is that monthly childcare cost about the same as 15 packages of diapers! At least I don’t have to contend with the 8. Deadly sin of stroller envy! While initially off-putting, I am starting to get used to it as is Amelia. She truly knows how to play to her adoring fans. Those are the most notable differences. Oh yeah, and they’re called “nappies” not diapers! August 3, 2009 at 10:53 AM. August 5, 2009 at 6:17 AM. Do parents in Tanzania swaddle?

It's Kili Time: Four Months, Four Continents–Asia (at last!)
http://itskilitime.blogspot.com/2011/08/four-months-four-continentsasia-at-last.html
Wednesday, August 17, 2011. Four Months, Four Continents–Asia (at last! We finally made it! It only took ten flights and sleeping in ten different beds over the course of ten weeks to get us into our own house in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Admittedly, we’ve actually been in-country for about 6 weeks now. But I wanted to wait and write until we actually were in our new home which only happened. Three weeks ago. And extra bonus, our shipment from Arusha arrived. Just the other day. But not totally. To be su...

It's Kili Time: Life in Arusha - Really? You have to stop your car there?
http://itskilitime.blogspot.com/2010/09/life-in-arusha-really-you-have-to-stop.html
Tuesday, September 21, 2010. Life in Arusha - Really? You have to stop your car there? Driving in Arusha requires a lot of cojones. Although we have adapted well to this new style of driving, I never cease to be amazed on a daily basis by some of the manoeuvrings I witness (or even pull myself! The trunk pop open, a red tarp pulled out and very neatly laid under the front of the car (really? You break down so much you have a tarp in your trunk! You will note how tight it was for that sedan car on the lef...

It's Kili Time: Running Amok
http://itskilitime.blogspot.com/2011/05/running-amok.html
Tuesday, May 3, 2011. The weekend began with Prince William's. Wedding. His big day was eclipsed by the birth of Mariah Carey's. Twins Then we moved on from Mariah when some dude in Pakistan. Was killed. But now, perhaps you'd like to turn your attention to this piece of breaking news: We are moving to Phnom Penh, Cambodia! The Temples at Angkor Wat. After I typed the phrase "running amok. And its in that spirit that I use the phrase as it will characterize our life for the next 2 - 3 months! Ps: need no...

It's Kili Time: Four Months, Four Continents - Good to be in America
http://itskilitime.blogspot.com/2011/07/four-months-four-continents-good-to-be.html
Tuesday, July 19, 2011. Four Months, Four Continents - Good to be in America. You see, I had just finished reading Omnivore's Dilemma. Like many who came before me, the book really affected my taste buds. I started looking at the gloriously well stocked shelves in a whole new light (i.e. as corn stalks). Every bite of the sweet crispy Cool Ranch Dorito became less and less satisfying. Where were my freshly picked bunches of arugula that I'd grown to love in Arusha? In five weeks, we packed it in like a M...

http://itskilitime.blogspot.com/2010/10/kanga-cloth-fashion-utility.html
Tuesday, October 26, 2010. Kanga Cloth - Fashion and Utility. One of the most ubiquitous images in Tanzania is the kanga. Cloth worn (mostly) by women. It's used as an everyday item as well as for special occasions. Typically, you see women wearing kanga's. Is worn as a sarong usually out of either modesty, cultural traditions or purely for fashion. Is transformed into an outfit - skirt made of kanga,. Blouse made of kanga. And sometimes even a matching headdress made from kanga. Beyond fashion, kanga.
