The Finances of Fun. Are You A Racist? November 28, 2013. I went on a budget trip to Malaga last weekend and on the return flight I sat behind a Chelsea girl with her mother in the luxury row ahead of me (extra legroom is for the wealthy). It struck me that even the high flying set are now prepared to rough it on occasion these days, although going on the amount of luxury cosmetics they ordered from the flight attendants, things hadn’t hit rock bottom quite yet. I, personally, kind of hope so. Drop by an...

culturally.ambiguous: March 2013
http://culturallyambiguous.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Aid work, travel, cultures and other musings. We have been in 'hibernation' . Someone asked me this week what is the difference between hibernation and lockdown. My best response was that when we are in lockdown serious s* * is going on outside - we have to stay inside to be safe. Hibernation is more to do with monitoring the situation from a known location to see what happens. Anyway, I think that's the difference. Now Back to today's main programming. In fact, in looking for a photo, I discovered that ...

culturally.ambiguous: August 2012
http://culturallyambiguous.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Aid work, travel, cultures and other musings. Where Few 'Blan' Have Passed. I could hear their voices in front of me before I could see their faces, as I marched down the small hilltop path:. Greeting each other in the common way. My Haitian team continued walking, and the group returned to their normal chit-chat. I emerged from the tall grass alongside their front garden, only to be greeted with a large hoot and holler and laughter from the family members. White people) don't pass here often. In previou...

culturally.ambiguous: September 2012
http://culturallyambiguous.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Aid work, travel, cultures and other musings. Fool Me Twice, Shame on Me. The past 3 weeks or so have been a roller coaster, to say the least. As I commented here. Before Isaac came, I was exhausted. There had been a lot happening in life, I was getting tired, emotional, and was quite close to burnout, I expect. But Isaac rejuvenated me enough to get me here to today. And today, I am exhausted again. Impatient, short with people, curt, and just need to sleep. And then this weekend happened. I had lef...

culturally.ambiguous: 2 months on
http://culturallyambiguous.blogspot.com/2013/04/2-months-on.html
Aid work, travel, cultures and other musings. It has been almost 2 months since my arrival here in Nairobi. I think I am almost at the stage where I am stopping to compare everything with Haiti. At first, of course, it was an easy thing to do - both developing countries, both have struggles and challenges, both have a large expat community. Gorgeous Kenya - the Great Rift Valley. Heck, every individual is each their own. So, Kenya it turned out to be. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Things I Hate Abo...

culturally.ambiguous: Degrees of Separation
http://culturallyambiguous.blogspot.com/2013/03/degrees-of-separation.html
Aid work, travel, cultures and other musings. They say that there are an average of 6 degrees of separation between any individual on the planet. In fact, in looking for a photo, I discovered that social scientist Stanley Milgram (of the infamous Obedience to Authority experiment. Tested this theory as well, in what he called the small world theory. He found that between any individual and some other random individual, there is an average of 5 people in between. Hence, the 6 degrees of separation. Yes, s...

culturally.ambiguous: May 2013
http://culturallyambiguous.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Aid work, travel, cultures and other musings. So today I went out to interview some street boys who have taken part in one of our programmes. We went to one of the slums, one I had been to before, one that I knew for being quite. Rough, to say the least. I love days like these. They get me our of the office and into our programmes and into life in Kenya. I get to learn what life is like for people living in poverty here. It all goes back to the golden rule. Treat others as you want to be treated. But whe...
