The top 20 of my 20's

USA | Sunday, 18 Oct 2009 | Views [31]

Someone asked me this week what the best moment of my 20's was. I was for one of the few times in my life- unable to speak. How does one sort through a decade of memories and pick one on the spot. I did, but I felt like I was betraying all the other ... Read more >


Yellow Flag Morning, Kayakers Take Warning

USA | Thursday, 9 Apr 2009 | Views [108] | Comments [1]

After days of watching the palm trees flaying around in the wind, and red flag after red flag being hoisted in the breeze...today we had a yellow flag on the beach. The ocean looked calm from the condo window a 7am, the cold snap had ended, and we ... Read more >


Beijing the Begining

CHINA | Thursday, 31 Jul 2008 | Views [3]

Nee how.... I have arrived in Beijing, and believe it or not, so did my luggage. Already things are off to a great start! Staying in Media Village, much more comfortable than Torino. Things are moving along, jumped into work the day after I ... Read more >


Hanoi

VIETNAM | Sunday, 20 Apr 2008 | Views [118]

The white view outside the window offers no visual clue to where I am as I rub the sleep from my eyes. The screeching of tires on tarmac alerts me to the fact that I am on the ground. Beneath the layer of white, I can make out the emerald green of ... Read more >


Card Games

THAILAND | Wednesday, 9 Apr 2008 | Views [200]

I jump into the back of the red truck. A young, shoeless boy sits huddled in a corner. I great him, he stares, then mumbles his greeting before directing his attention to some cards in his hands. He places the cards on the bench seat, slapping the ... Read more >


late night treats

THAILAND | Thursday, 3 Apr 2008 | Views [212]

I round the corner while popping a hot coconut milk ball (khnom krok) into my mouth. The sidewalk is empty, the market to my left gated and silent. There is still one shop, gates thrown wide open, light spilling onto the ... Read more >


Chiang Mai Moments

THAILAND | Wednesday, 2 Apr 2008 | Views [184]

I have been in Thailand well over a year now. As I face the end of my ESL teaching career, and a transition from someone who lives here to just another tourist (marked by the new stamp in my passport I have to get next week), I have decided to ... Read more >

Markets, Monkeys, and Mean People

CAMBODIA | Wednesday, 19 Dec 2007 | Views [243]

To begin my exploration of Phnom Penh I continued down the waterfront. I stepped out of my hotel, and was surprised to see that the giant garbage piles had been removed from the sidewalks. I was to find that garbage free sidewalks never lasted ... Read more >

No Reindeer in This Sleigh

CAMBODIA | Sunday, 16 Dec 2007 | Views [182]

I weaved amongst the vendors selling live fish, frogs, eels, turtles and dead chickens, socks, children’s clothes, and monks accepting alms. The market by my house is one of my favorite places, especially at 5 a.m. There is something about the ... Read more >
