Kumpulmi ay Nemnem: April 2014

http://miskina-ano.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 27, 2014. After being in Guatemala for nearly 2 months, I realized I moved in three circles or types of environments:. 1) The Spanish School Circle - my first environment. What better world to start with when living in Latin America? Most of the students I met were very friendly. Maybe its because we all had something in common - we were all going through the painful process of trying to learn or relearn Spanish. Its paid off though. As they say, "No pain, no gain.".

Kumpulmi ay Nemnem: January 2015

Saturday, January 17, 2015. The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool." -. 1) The Town Fair. My town is currently having a 5 day fair, called La Feria de San Sebastian. Its your typical fair with rides:. Educational demonstrations (here's a guy talking about the awesomeness of yucca, aka cassava):. And of course, a dog show:. My counterpart organization also had their own stand/booth at the fair:. Requisite photo of me with a counterpart. And the...

Kumpulmi ay Nemnem: May 2015

Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Si Me Voy de Aquí Mañana …. 8230; o en un mes. 1) Epic Rap Battles vs SNL. SNL is being called out for its lack of Asian cast members. Witness Manny Pacquiao played by a white woman. Lame In defense of SNL, I can think of at least two former cast members who are part Asian, Rob Schneider and Fred Armisen. That's like what? Two during the last 40 years. On the other hand, Epic Rap Battles of History. 2) Farewell Song for Panama. Note to Giles: record a longer version of this song.

Kumpulmi ay Nemnem: June 2014

http://miskina-ano.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Saturday, June 07, 2014. I’m not sure I chose this life or it chose me yet. I do know that life “back home” did not fit with my philosophy of how I wanted to live. 1) Leaving the US -. 2) Latin America, Take 2. 3) Hostels in the US. 4) Things I've Lost While Traveling. My Cal baseball cap I've had for ages, lost somewhere in Mexico on my way to Bacalar. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Randall Park Interviews Ali Wong. Worth a Thousand Words.

Kumpulmi ay Nemnem: March 2015

http://miskina-ano.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Monday, March 02, 2015. The Bad Man Punted Baxter! Fellow PCRV from Guatemala: Panamanians tell me I don't speak Spanish. Me: Yeah, they tell me that, too. But as they tell me that, I'm thinking, "I'm not speaking Spanish? You're not speaking Spanish either. I don't know what you're speaking.". Fellow PCRV: We're all pretty much speaking garbage Spanish. 1) Conversin' with the Locals. Trying to get into the flow of Panamanian Spanish:. Talking about law schools. 2) They Do Eat Bush Meat. I was a Peace Co...

Kumpulmi ay Nemnem: October 2013

Wednesday, October 16, 2013. Tu Dis Tomate, Je Dis Tomato. A look back at some of the conversations I've had with Cameroonians:. 1) Cameroonian: "You should leave a mestizo child before you leave Cameroon. You should also try tuba, a type of traditional food.". 2) Cameroonian: "When someone calls you 'le blanc', 'ntangan', or 'chinois', that should not be a problem. You should not be offended.". Me: "So its ok if I call Cameroonians 'le noir' or 'evindumot' (Bulu for black person)? Me: "Peace Corps.".

Kumpulmi ay Nemnem: August 2013

http://miskina-ano.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Saturday, August 10, 2013. Une Ode Pour le Sud. Tyrion: "The northerners will never forget.". Tywin: "Good. Let them remember what happens when they march on the south.". The south region of Cameroon gets a lot of flak. Its too "derangey." The people are lazy. They're rude. Well, lets talk about the positives. South, how much do I admire thee? Let me count the ways:. 1) It has a rainforest. All it needs is a high profile celebrity to give it publicity, maybe promote ecotourism. *Cough* Sting. 8) You neve...

Kumpulmi ay Nemnem: No Excuses

http://miskina-ano.blogspot.com/2015/05/no-excuses.html

Monday, May 11, 2015. Checking out the Azuero Fair with my landlord's family. We must've walked for 4 hours throughout the fair:. Funny thing about the visit was that although there were many food stands at the fair, we ate at a McDonald's outside the fair. Check out these tiny frogs. I'm talking 'chiquitita', my new favorite Spanish word. I assume they're on their way to eventually looking like this:. 3) My Two Centavos. Pacquiao is a great fighter and its too bad he lost, but Mayweather was right.

Monday, September 29, 2014. Seis Pensamientos del Momento. In Cameroon, it was rice and beans. In Panama, its rice and lentils. 2) Things I am Tired of. Links to articles on the sidebar about wives and girlfriends (WAG) of athletes while I'm trying to read the sports page. Who gives a sh*t? 3) That's a Switch. I'm living with a host family whose members all have smartphones while I have a dumbphone. 4) Quote of the day. 5) Music in my head. Jonathan Richman's True Love is Not Nice. I returned my smartpho...

Thursday, April 30, 2015. Life is Small Time. My plans after I COS in a few months: traveling, naturally, and looking forward to seeing some of my fellow agros from Cameroon:. 2) Stop Harming the Community. A fellow volunteer sent me this list of 25 Tips for PCVs. Its actually a few years old, but still a good list of suggestions on how best to do development work. One more tip that could be added to the list: "Just stop paying for things," courtesy of Jeff, RPCV Cameroon. 3) Feliz Cumpleaños, Extraño.
