Meet Duke Appleton, an illustrator who works regularly with UNICEF. On the sleepy Sunday after I arrived in Liberia, I saw him working on this mural, so I stopped and said hello to him and his assistant. It’s a mural that tells the story of an Ebola infection and tries to raise awareness about its phases and outcomes. Here’s the Duke at work:. Responses to “the duke”. Feed for this Entry.

poet~lover~rebel~spy: May 2007
http://poetloverrebelspy.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Poet lover rebel spy. Now appearing on the internets! Sunday, May 20, 2007. I’ve been in seven different countries in the past six weeks, so you’ll have to forgive my tardy updating. I’ll begin my musings with the first, and dirtiest, stop on the tour: Germany’s neighbor to the north, Denmark. Too cold for the beach over the Easter holiday, my mother and I had little to do but wander . . . and wonder about those Danes. We discovered, for example, that the Danes have an odd. And surprisingly, this was oft...

poet~lover~rebel~spy: April 2007
http://poetloverrebelspy.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Poet lover rebel spy. Now appearing on the internets! Sunday, April 01, 2007. Unseasonably warm temperatures (it *was* just March, wasn’t it? This week I took my first step towards building said oasis when a free shelving unit appeared on my university’s exchange bulletin board. And my plants are doing their part by sprouting from seeds I planted a couple weeks ago. And for the eye, I’ve also got pots filled with iris, freesia, anemone, gladiola, and acidanthera bulbs; the iris were sprouting in the warm...

poet~lover~rebel~spy: June 2007
http://poetloverrebelspy.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Poet lover rebel spy. Now appearing on the internets! Sunday, June 17, 2007. Way back at the end of March, I posted an entry about my fantasy summer sunshine paradise out my kitchen window and on the neighboring rooftop. What began as a modest project of starting seeds on a secondhand shelving unit. Has turned into this:. Here’s a visual to help:. I purchased 2 meter-long window boxes at the hardware store. Approximate cost/window box: 2.20. I purchased 2 1m tall wooden dowels. Cost/dowel: 1. How to Take...

poet~lover~rebel~spy: March 2007
http://poetloverrebelspy.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Poet lover rebel spy. Now appearing on the internets! Tuesday, March 20, 2007. Luck of the Irish. What kind of music does a leprechaun band play? Sham Rock. Ba-dum-dum. I headed over to Ireland for St. Patrick's Day. At 45 euros round-trip airfare, I just couldn't say no. I mean, that's cheaper than a non-sale rail return to Berlin for goodness sake! I can’t riddle you that either. There is a chain of stores, Carroll’s Gifts of Ireland, which must earn half of its yearly income on Irish-themed kitsch and...

poet~lover~rebel~spy: October 2006
http://poetloverrebelspy.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Poet lover rebel spy. Now appearing on the internets! Saturday, October 21, 2006. I made the decision yesterday to stay in Hamburg for the entire year. My program tried to tempt me with easy offers of moving to Berlin for at least February through June and working for this. Really cool organization. As wonderful as that might have been (since I fancy both greatly), I opted instead to work at the institute I'm studying at and pursue my own thesis research.

poet~lover~rebel~spy: November 2006
http://poetloverrebelspy.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Poet lover rebel spy. Now appearing on the internets! Tuesday, November 21, 2006. New Home, New Problems. Новый дом, новый проблемы! Was the phrase with which the dialogue from section one of my first-year Russian textbook ended. The tenants in one apartment had a shower, but wanted a bath; in another, the reverse; and none of them had hot water. The landlord's response, complete with shrug - be thankful we all have new apartments! But, new home, new problems! The funniest thing of all is that anyone rea...

Taking the Long Way: Things that are strange here
http://gwynethsadventures.blogspot.com/2012/02/things-that-are-strange-here.html
Taking the Long Way. Misadventures in Malawi and Beyond. Friday, February 3, 2012. Things that are strange here. In many ways, I'm experiencing far more culture shock moving to Europe than I ever did moving to Africa. I often find myself saying to Jorge or Milo, when explaining why we can't do something they suggest, "This isn't Africa, OK? People are weird here." (Come to think of it, that was a frequent phrase while we were in Seattle as well. But not New Orleans. Hmmm.). Although unemployment is at an...
