Tico 19- a day in the life. Friday, August 7, 2009. Four random cultural notes to leave you with:. Sunscreen- this is a completely novel concept apparently because, over the course of a day, I am told more than a few times that I am really sweating. Even if it weren’t suntan lotion, OF COURSE I’M SWEATING! YOU ARE SWEATING TOO, I want to say sometimes. 8220;They’re beautiful.”. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Spanish Word Of The Day.

http://kathrynbelz.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Tico 19- a day in the life. Tuesday, July 21, 2009. I wasn’t sure if it would be possible but, as it turns out, I have successfully communicated my sense of humor to my Costa Rican family. Not only do they understand it, but they appreciate it! 1 The women from the aerobics class called a short meeting yesterday to plan a surprise birthday party for someone on August 23rd… hmm, I thought, is this a joke? 8221; She asked. “Nope.” I said. “Your toe nails?

Tico 19- a day in the life. Thursday, May 7, 2009. Home away from home away from home. I can't say enough about tech week, even though I missed the meeting of the development association and the trip. To the cataratas.

My host father was the president of the. Have had to put my feet up on the couch in front of the television! Weight on th...

Tico 19- a day in the life. Monday, August 17, 2009. Dia de Madre a la Guaro. 8221; When I finished this task, I asked for another (this is my strategy for getting through the next two years- stay busy). One cook then turned to my host mother to ask, “can she chop? 8221; “We’ll see,” I always say. I buy food at the bake sale and I get laughs. “Your teeth are going to fall out,” someone said when I ordered a fried dough-type pastry. I felt like saying, “I do...I might have written before about the lazines...

Anyway, after individual conversations with my prospective students, I decided it would be appropriate to teach the first class on greetings, goodbyes, and emotions (“How are you? We started the class with an ice breaker- “what makes you nervous about learning English? 8221; “what do you want to learn? Monday, April 6, 2009. Thank goodness ...

http://kathrynbelz.blogspot.com/2010/01/just-spoon-full-of-crocodile-fat.html
Tico 19- a day in the life. Monday, January 11, 2010. Just a spoon full of. crocodile fat? Christmas in Ortega de Santa Cruz, Guanacaste. It all began with a tree lighting on December 20th… a tree lighting and so much more! To top it off, it had a huge star outlined in lights perched on top and a nativity scene nestled in the center. Every year they dedicate the tree to a community member who flips the switch- kind of like Rockefeller Center, but without the countdown. The ensemble also came with a white...

http://kathrynbelz.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Tico 19- a day in the life. Wednesday, March 25, 2009. I saw lots of family too- cousins, aunts, and was introduced to friends of cousins, friends of aunts. One aunt sung a song that I am determined to learn so that I can sing karaoke during Semana Santa. (I practiced last night on our machine and have the refrain down perfectamente! I was sitting in the backseat of the school principal’s car eating chips with ketchup and mayonnaise… in Costa Rica. I applied aloe vera, which I obtained from a plant, whic...
