Amanda's Adventures in Africa! Thursday, June 4, 2009. When I show you I just don't care. When I'm throwing punches. When I'm broken down and I can't stand. Would you be man enough to be my man? Yeah, lame, it's Sheryl Crow I know, but this song applies too well on too many occasions here and has too many jokes with Heather that it's perfect for this story.). Without further ado… just another story to add to my interactions with people:. June 7, 2009 at 12:00 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Prefe...

Amanda's Adventures in Africa!: October 2008
http://amandatatum.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Amanda's Adventures in Africa! Tuesday, October 28, 2008. Hole-y mosquito nets, leaking sink pipes, mud pedicures, and feminist rant. With Daniel, Mabel’s Kaaya’s husband who I’m not quite so fond of. Pleasant guy but borderline extremely annoying when it comes to re-telling the same stories, first in Swahili, then in English, then again in Swahili, then again in English, and by the time he starts to say it again in Swahili, I lose my cool and say NIMEFAHAMU! Went something like this:. And he just told u...

Amanda's Adventures in Africa! Monday, June 1, 2009. I’m living in a foreign country but I’m bound to cross the line. 8220;Hello, can we take your picture? 8220;Take picture, you know…” (then holds up the camera as if I didn’t understand). 8220;Uh, yeah, I get it. Why? 8221; (put in your head the best three year old baby talk with Middle Eastern older deep man voice accent). 8220;Because we’re nice people.”. Hole in the wall restaurant/guest house that has an “Alice in Wonderland” themed gard...Miserable...

Amanda's Adventures in Africa!: September 2008
http://amandatatum.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Amanda's Adventures in Africa! Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Amanda- you are advised. To take a cab to bring you home because there are some loose fierce dogs along the way. Benno”. Baba Received this text from my host dad on African time, of course, but hakuna matata. Loose fierce dogs, really? Not pick-pocketers, rapists, murderers? Just rabid beasts that could shred us to pieces? Terrific. Welcome back to the city, I suppose. So… classes didn’t actually start today. Surprise! It's amazing how wireless ...

Dé y recibirá.: Earthquake in Haiti
http://d-hunt.blogspot.com/2010/01/earthquake-in-haiti.html
Give and you will receive. Thursday, January 14, 2010. It was the first time I had ever felt an earthquake. It was felt as far East as Nagua, Dominican Republic. But we are safe and there was no damage here. I have friends visiting and we were inside a large market plaza in Santiago. I was looking at a wall of souvenirs and it moved away from me, but I didn’t realize what was happening until I heard the men outside the store yelling, “The earth is trembling, the earth is trembling! Mica on a Mission.

Give and you will receive. Monday, December 28, 2009. The Moons’ Dominican Adventure. We don’t think so…. When we finally arrived at Danielle’s Casita we visited with her housemates and waited for Rafael. We returned to our little cabana to make dinner and relax, looking out over the mountains with the beautiful blue sky and a yard full of flowers in full bloom. And that was just day one. 8221; Well.…….Maybe we just imagined that part. Saturday, December 26, 2009. On Christmas Eve -. My mother and I spen...

Give and you will receive. Saturday, February 13, 2010. Part 1: Adventure Getting There. Part 2: El campo. Anna and I, Danielle and her host brother, spent time at the cabana chilling out, telling tall tales, cooking Dominican-style oatmeal and Danielle’s fantastic stir-fry, and generally having an awesome time. While in Sajoma, Danielle and Anna enjoyed some of the economic advantages of coming from a wealthy country and got their hair washed and dried for a mere pittance. I am reminded that a sub-tropi...

Give and you will receive. Wednesday, July 1, 2009. Shanti at 2 months, Perla at 5.5 months. Don't worry, I love you." Adorable. Last weekend I took Shanti with me to the river for the first time and after we both got wet we snoozed together on the rocks, she as my pillow. It is not part of their culture to have a pet as part of the family, and definitely not to hold it or put your head on it, that's quite repulsive actually, but even one of my youth noted, "Ese perra vale cuarto! Mica on a Mission.
