Daniel in Indo: History: PC in Indonesia
http://danielinindonesia.blogspot.com/p/history-pc-in-indonesia.html
History: PC in Indonesia. As stated in the PC's official assignment brochure for the country. Forty-five physical education Volunteers served in Indonesia from 1963-1964 working with Indonesians in advancing their sports programs. The program was brought to a close in 1965 as a result of political upheaval and concerns for the safety and security of the Volunteers*. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). History: PC in Indonesia. Java at a Glance. Java is the same size as Florida with more than 7x the population.

Shim Ahoy!: April 2013
http://shim-ahoy.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Apr 30, 2013. Throwback post to PST in Batu, June 2012*. One of my clustermate’s families took us on an outing to a local “tourist object” (for some reason, Indonesians are taught that a tourist destination is a “tourist object” in English). This particular object was a waterfall called Coban Rondo. When we tried to find a place to picnic, the local monkey gang wanted in. I’m happy to report our group remained monkey bite free. Throwback post to PST in Batu, May 2012*. During PST, we took a group outing ...

Sometimes teaching as a PCV. Archives for the month of: February, 2013. Burma Photos, Part II: Getting Villagey. February 10, 2013. Our introduction to Inle Lake could have been more positive. As our group’s bus wound down the hillsides of Nyaungshwe Township, we spotted a blackened mass of charred metal lying in an upturned field. A plane? We wondered. Then a turnoff to Heho Airport confirmed our suspicions. If you believe the government’s story, the plane. Inle stretches lengthwise down a long valley s...

Unchained | Utinni and Teh
https://indonesianalford.wordpress.com/words-on-a-page/unchained
Glossary o’ Terms. The Macts of the Fatter. Words on a page. Love Travels by Foot. Teaching English and wondering What the hell am I doing? Elements battle for my heart. Meeting the border of morality and propriety. The hissing chorus of a snakeless land. My eyes see the roiling fear. Of the cowled unknown. Hiding its true guise of normalcy. Skulking under ambitions of life. Laying prostrate as cowards and heroes alike. Only the battle cries are heard. The screaming and salivating dogs of purity. Staring...

Noel Abroad: February 2011
http://noelschroeder.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 21, 2011. Family Trees, Sad Stories, and Valentines. My students finished up their unit on describing families with two projects: a family tree poster and an essay about either their happiest or saddest family memory. The trees came out so so so well! The essay assignment I stole from Colleen (thanks Oma! One girl wrote about how her saddest memory was her last birthday, when her parents spent the day arguing with each other and forgot all about her. One boy wrote about how he and his mo...

Noel Abroad: February 2012
http://noelschroeder.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 8, 2012. BUT, thankfully, it only lasts a week, and it only occurs somewhere between one and five times per semester. AND it is a chance to read a book or knit while the students test. Thing I’ve done in the past two years. A few weeks ago I visited Mount Bromo. Everything else is normal and generally very good and unremarkable. A few new sets of photos up, all courtesy of Pak Lukman, our Japanese teacher: OSIS Elections. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Noel Abroad: How do you solve a problem like Mbak Noel?
http://noelschroeder.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-do-you-solve-problem-like-mbak-noel.html
Sunday, January 15, 2012. How do you solve a problem like Mbak Noel? With a quick 18-hour stop in. On the way) and had an amazing week spending time with them. Thank you Aunt Cathy and Uncle Lou, again, for letting us use those sweet digs. Being back on American soil was not as strange or jarring as I anticipated—on the contrary, the whole week was very chill and relaxed, and I was happy to come back to. Cip is justifiably super duper excited about a workshop he attended. The beauty of Batik Bojonegoroan.

Noel Abroad: December 2010

Tuesday, December 21, 2010. Merry Semester and Happy almost-Christmas! Last week was UAS [Ujian Akhir Semester, semester final exams] week. I spent the week proctoring exams, grading exams and reporting grades in different reports and forms and record books. For semester exams, students are divided 40 to a classroom with 20 from one grade and 20 from another, seated in alternating rows so two students from the same grade do not share a desk. Two teachers are assigned to each room to proctor. All Grade 10...
