Thursday, April 16, 2009. LA Is a Lady. For our final class, we're going to be taking a trip to one of Los Angeles' iconic locations, the Stahl House. Or Case Study #22). I can't wait! I've got to remember to pack my camera for that one. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This is a newbie’s attempt at exploring the wide world outside of Los Angeles (and occasionally within it). I'm a couch potato foodie who can't live without Entertainment Weekly, in desperate need of a DVR. View my complete profile.

Passport Check: Tour-tastic
http://passportcheck.blogspot.com/2009/03/tour-tastic.html
Tuesday, March 3, 2009. Most recently, we've signed up for Pageflakes, which collects various links and allows users to arrange them to their liking on their respective pages. It's almost like a visual version of Diigo. Combined. Since this blog is about travel, and traveling as a student with a limited budget, you can guess what my Pageflake. Looks like. It has two columns to house my RSS feeds on the left, and annotated bibliography on the right. Searching.searching.got it! On the right hand side of my...

Passport Check: Hi!
http://passportcheck.blogspot.com/2009/01/hi.html
Thursday, January 22, 2009. I’ve found one by two brothers who are attempting to walk the world to return home as part of a peace project ( http:/ worldwalk-peacetour.blogspot.com/. And a now defunct one from four Englishmen who traveled from their home country to Australia through a number of means, excluding airplanes ( http:/ www.geocities.com/fourontour/. While it’s usually expected that a travel blog would cover various expeditions to other countries, I’m tied to my hometown for this sem...Lisa Aske...

Passport Check: Spring Break! Is....Over
http://passportcheck.blogspot.com/2009/03/spring-break-isover.html
Thursday, March 26, 2009. I know I promised exciting tales of discovering my hometown this semester, thanks to my Thursday night elective, and so far I've been lax in sharing them. Since I last made mention of the Cultural Guide to L.A. class we've:. Visited a couple in Hancock Park who collect art pieces and incorporate them into their home (imagine living in an art museum). Saw a show at the famous Groundlings' theater on Melrose (the Progressive lady, "Flo" was the star comidienne). Methods of discove...

Passport Check: No. 3
http://passportcheck.blogspot.com/2009/03/no-3.html
Thursday, March 26, 2009. I've been thinking a bit about paper no. 3. I found an article on JSTOR, after doing some serious digging, that explored the Western world's imperialistic complex concerning Africa and the continent's countries. What is it about Western civilizations that makes them think they're superior and obligated to assert control over others? To spend time in a developing village or city or some other sort of township seems ludicrus to me. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Read More ...

Passport Check: Bookmark This!
http://passportcheck.blogspot.com/2009/02/bookmark-this.html
Tuesday, February 10, 2009. If you're anything like me, you probably have a gazillion URLs saved in a bookmarks or favorites folder somewhere. I tend to impulsively click the "bookmark" button any time there's something of remote interest, and end up with folders of websites I tend to forget within a month's time. Through my writing class I signed up for this pretty neat site called Digg. That allows users to save, categorize, and share bookmarked sites. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Ireland's Insp...

Passport Check: What to do, what to do
http://passportcheck.blogspot.com/2009/03/what-to-do-what-to-do.html
Tuesday, March 10, 2009. What to do, what to do. Something to do with travel, tourists, and the effect of tourism. As applied by the TOPOI. Contrasts: Visiting tourists create tension when they don't attempt to immerse themselves in, or understand the culture they're visiting. Values: With the increasing trend of awareness of eco-friendliness, tourists face the ethical or moral conundrum of whether or not to travel to countries with fragile environments or poor economies.

Passport Check: You and Me, and Me and You
http://passportcheck.blogspot.com/2009/02/you-and-me-and-me-and-you.html
Monday, February 16, 2009. You and Me, and Me and You. The great thing about the internet is that you can find people (in a totally non-stalker way) who share the same interests you have, and whom you would never meet without the handy dandy assistance of some networking tool. I don't know if it's possible to find your "soul mate" over the internet, but digging up someone who's interests are specific enough to match yours is challenging. I found this user on Del.icio.us, jeanoid . View my complete profile.
