Nebraska to Namibia: from Sandhills to sand dunes: A little time to think, please
http://namibiafulbright.blogspot.com/2009/04/little-time-to-think-please.html
Nebraska to Namibia: from Sandhills to sand dunes. A little time to think, please. Over the Easter holiday break, our family had the good fortune to travel to northwest Namibia with a student from Polytechnic. His name is Uapii (pronounced, "Wahpee"), and he's a third-year student in agriculture. He invited us to get to know his homeland a bit better. For the time being, we will let our photos and captions (archived here). Just give us a little time to think. Thank you so much for allowing us to live vic...

Nebraska to Namibia: from Sandhills to sand dunes: And back to Nebraska...
http://namibiafulbright.blogspot.com/2009/12/and-back-to-nebraska.html
Nebraska to Namibia: from Sandhills to sand dunes. And back to Nebraska. Home again. A blizzard closing in from Kansas and Colorado. Friends and family. Too much to do before Christmas. Realizing how far it really is between Namibia and Nebraska. No really good way to close out this blog. Maybe a toss backward to some favorite blogs of the year. A year in review:. January: Kelly's report on shopping. February: Larkin locked in the men's room. March: We tackle our first camping trip with the Bates family.

Nebraska to Namibia: from Sandhills to sand dunes: Don’t you wish you had one of these?
http://namibiafulbright.blogspot.com/2009/09/dont-you-wish-you-had-one-of-these.html
Nebraska to Namibia: from Sandhills to sand dunes. Don’t you wish you had one of these? For the past 3-4 weeks, a little bird has been making the rounds of our kitchen floor every morning. We keep the door open almost constantly, and it seems that our buddy likes combing the floor for crumbs and such. We've named him Freddy Freeloader. Today, we nabbed him on tape. With apologies to Dr. Seuss, we offer the following. Don't you wish you had one of these? From the far reaches of Windhoek. It nests in a hole.

Nebraska to Namibia: from Sandhills to sand dunes: Held hostage by my own stupidity
http://namibiafulbright.blogspot.com/2009/02/held-hostage-by-my-own-stupidity.html
Nebraska to Namibia: from Sandhills to sand dunes. Held hostage by my own stupidity. Today's blog is a short story, with a happy ending. Keep asking for the nitty. What about the students that have class in our building? We have to give them a key, if we want to let them use the facilities. Our choice. Otherwise, they have to go to a different building. So, to set the stage for one of my most embarrassing moments, I had attended several pre. During the first week of classes, I was covering Plant Studies ...

Nebraska to Namibia: from Sandhills to sand dunes. A Namibian Preschool Experience. Future Professor School Song. Just this week there were three new students in this class - triplets! The next few weeks will be great fun for me as we have moved into animal themes. This week was reptiles and amphibians. I read a book about snakes and all the students talked about how dangerous snakes are - here in Namibia most snakes can kill you in less than 3 minutes! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Nebraska to Namibia: from Sandhills to sand dunes: The lunch lady and the Sewage Board
http://namibiafulbright.blogspot.com/2009/11/lunch-lady-and-sewage-board.html
Nebraska to Namibia: from Sandhills to sand dunes. The lunch lady and the Sewage Board. Several people, especially folks writing 'newsy' stories about our year here, have asked me what my daily routine is like. Perhaps they wonder if we start the day by walking a mile to get our water. Or, maybe they wonder if we have to collect firewood to cook our meal. Unfortunately, neither of these are correct. Our life in Namibia is very similar to our lives in Nebraska. 1 The lunch lady. In addition, Polytechnic h...

Nebraska to Namibia: from Sandhills to sand dunes. Namibia: come apart at the seams. Newspaper, the Namibian Tourism Board placed a large advertisement to congratulate the Right Honourable Prime Minister Nahas. On his 66 th. Birthday. It is very common for companies to place ads in the paper wishing "Happy Birthday" to politicians. I guess if you want to receive tenders (contracts) in the coming year from the government, it pays to grease their palms. When President Pohamba. 1 Namibia: for those who.

http://namibiafulbright.blogspot.com/2009/06/birds-and-houseguests.html
Nebraska to Namibia: from Sandhills to sand dunes. I just returned from 4 days in northern Namibia (just west of Etosha NP) at the Ehirovipuka (pronounced Eee-hero-vee'-puka) communal conservancy. I traveled with Uapii, our friend and Polytechnic student, who translated my survey on ecotourism to the OshiHerrero-speaking farmers. We were also joined by Aaron Price, a recent graduate of U. Nebraska, who has just arrived in Namibia for a 6-month stint with World Wildlife Fund. On our Picasa photo site.

Nebraska to Namibia: from Sandhills to sand dunes: Thanksgiving in Namibia
http://namibiafulbright.blogspot.com/2009/11/thanksgiving-in-namibia.html
Nebraska to Namibia: from Sandhills to sand dunes. For those wondering how the holidays are celebrated in Namibia, here's a list of what is happening at Thanksgiving time:. We celebrated on Thanksgiving Day by going out to eat with our Fulbright friends, the Bates family. No turkey on the menu, and we realized it might be our last time at the Portuguese. Place that we've frequented in the past. So, we all ordered things we'd been looking at but hadn't ordered before. Larkin's. Turkey is not a typical thi...
