Nomad Noyes: The road to Luangprabang
http://nomad-noyes.blogspot.com/2008/05/road-to-luangprabang.html
In search of solitude and solidarity. Saturday, May 10, 2008. The road to Luangprabang. My first day of exploring Chiang Mai started in the guest house pool as I tried to stay cool reading my guidebook and avoiding a (intoxicated? It clicked. "Oh, are you asking why I am brown? I am Native American". Are you a proper Indian? Several people behind me in the procession poured flower water on me, which smelled sweet and cooled me off. The procession entered the Wat Luang (for some reason I am drawing a ...

Kinohi Roams: I'm a 'Baller
http://kinohiroams.blogspot.com/2007/12/im-baller.html
Sunday, December 9, 2007. Footballer. I'm a footballer. Or at least that's the dream I'm pursuing in signing up with an intramural indoor soccer team here at Duke. I responded to a mass e-mail calling for people who'd like to join a squad that needed players. Even though I haven't played soccer regularly for years, I knew this league was just for fun and recreation and so had nothing to lose in taking the plunge. Finally, it's worth noting that indoor soccer takes place in a relatively small, enclosed sp...

Kinohi Roams: New York Shutterbug
http://kinohiroams.blogspot.com/2007/12/new-york-shutterbug.html
Tuesday, December 18, 2007. What do you do when you're in New York City for a week and have to be out of the house by 8am and back after 8pm each day? You become a tourist. I became a New York City tourist for the first time when I visited my friend Lissu in October. My trip coincided with a busy work week at the UN, which meant that I was left to fend for myself on the streets of Brooklyn and Manhattan for 14 to 16 hours, Monday through Friday. Not so this time around. What follows is a glimpse into...

Kinohi Roams: One Night at Mochileros
http://kinohiroams.blogspot.com/2007/09/one-night-at-mochileros.html
Wednesday, September 5, 2007. One Night at Mochileros. The signature line of G.O.B. (from my latest TV obsession, Arrested Development. Rang all too true for me: "I've made a huge mistake.". What better way to bring this experience back to the fore than to present scenes from a bar in Lima? Jorge: writer, philosopher, drunk. Don't worry, folks: Angela and Emily are only playing innocent. Longtime compañeros: Jorge and Tammy doin' the dance once more. I may have wished for another bottle of Cristal.

In search of solitude and solidarity. Sunday, December 30, 2007. Post-Christmas pouting.and I added more to the previous post. New Years Eve Sneak Peak: I asked the neighbors if I could join in on painting the Año Viejo they were making and set to work painting Buzz Light Years legs. It felt great to have a paint brush in my hand and to be a part of a group project. Would it be possible to somehow find this person, google them, anything, and get their jump drive back to them atleast? So tomorrow, I will ...

Well, I was in New York for a few days, and then I went on a cruise. To where? Bermuda of course, where else would I go? How was it you ask? In the end, New Yo...
