Women's Month
From Dutch in Belize, 4 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I have lived in quite a few countries but in none before is International Women's day, on March 8, receiving so much attention as here in Belize. Not only do we celebrate on Women's Day, the entire month of March is dedicated to women. There are activities ranging from free self-defense training to forums on Crime and Violence; from a 15% discount for women at the hardware store to Women in Art exhibitions. The women's month kicked off with the first-ever US Embassy Belize Women of the Year...

Bookcase Tour Tuesday - Beautiful Japan
From A Canadian in Meiji Japan, 4 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
At the risk of sounding sappy, it was after an all-day visit to the Edo-Tokyo Museum (or 'Edo-haku') that I remember first saying to myself "I would LOVE to work in a museum someday... And, wow, to work in a Japanese museum!" At the time I wasn't in museum studies, nor did I actually think I would end up working in a museum - let alone a Japanese one (which by the way looks like it will

Lost and Late in Chile: Earthquake Causes Shifts in Time and Place
From And She Took Her Journey, 4 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Talk about your relativity in time and space! I now have a legitimate excuse to explain my directional disability and inability to arrive on time [see Chile Earthquake Altered Earth Axis, Shortened Day]! Interesting side point to this article. It describes the earthquake as occurring "last month." While technically correct, in reality it was just last week-- and in my reality it is still occurring given this morning's rattling. Included here are both the news reports and the Hawai'i...

Restoration: One Step at a Time
From Creative Structures, 4 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
They tell me it looks worse than it is. They tell me a couple of more weeks and it will clear up and we can start to paint, garden and decorate. I hope I can believe them. I will be happy to see the cement mixer go away, to see the floor tiles go in, to have a day or two of peace. For now, though, we are buried. Buried in the process. There is always a point of critical mass in a restoration

A group of three local women in mini-skirts walked unexpectedly in front of our cab, and I remarked to the driver that the people of Kunming were very relaxed. He replied nonchalantly, "Yes, the people of Kunming should wear more clothes." The jaywalking didn't...

After lugging our rucksacks to our abode of choice, the Casa Ivana, we set about exploring the city. I was slightly distressed by the fact that the first thing I saw as I entered Leon was a funeral procession...not that I´m...
