http://brieggy.blogspot.com/2007/06/eastern-european-expereince.html
It takes a village to raise a child, but a town of 32,000 to raise a conversational english/german teacher. Thursday, June 14, 2007. The Eastern European Expereince. Don't get me wrong, I would love for the schools to be more organized. Kat wrote a great letter to the schools of Hungary who are taking Foreign teachers with what they could do. Check it out on her blog here. Not only can I verify all of the things on this list, I can add some that have happened this week. These are only my top three for th...

It takes a village to raise a child, but a town of 32,000 to raise a conversational english/german teacher. Thursday, June 28, 2007. Goodbye - My least favorite word. Today I left Gyula.

Beautiful things I will remember on the plane, when I finally realize I am leaving-. Drinking Wine and toasting everyone. Being called Draga by the other teachers. Thank you to e...

Nő Experience: On Introspection and the Trains
http://brieggy.blogspot.com/2007/06/on-introspection-and-trains.html
It takes a village to raise a child, but a town of 32,000 to raise a conversational english/german teacher. Monday, June 4, 2007. On Introspection and the Trains. Sunday is train day. We sit, crammed into the overheated and sometimes clean metal tubes, which cut paths throughout the nation, on our way home from a weekend packed full of togetherness. Bleary-eyed from the lack of sleep and sometimes queasy from the incessant rocking, the train can be a great inspiration for introspection. Was it worth it?

http://brieggy.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
It takes a village to raise a child, but a town of 32,000 to raise a conversational english/german teacher. Friday, April 27, 2007. Szászorszép is the weekend. I think that this one word can evoke emotions in any teacher which words can not accurately express. Especially when paired with the words long weekend. This weekend is a four day weekend, and I have one week to get in shape before our hike. I don't think I can do it. This week I forced all of my students to learn about Australia. The preparat...

One of them was things I should have packed and things I should have left. Things I packed and I was happy I brought/wish I had brought:. 8 Photos of home. 4 Rees...
