Watashi wa Juria desu! Just another Wordpress.com weblog. May 18, 2008. The support and friendship I’ve received from people. Maki and her mom, Hayashi Sensei, Dorrie and Jeff.

I organized a trip around Japan that was the best vacation of me and Jordan’s lives. On the day after I finished I speech I almost didn’t do ...

Watashi wa Juria desu! Just another Wordpress.com weblog. April 7, 2009. Collisions were a central part of our time in Hawaii. The first three days revolved around exploring geologic collisions while the last two days were the cultural collisions. Collision is not meant to be negative, but indicates the sudden meeting of two different things and how they form a whole. Collisions are the source of Hawaii’s existence, life and island spirit and constant evolution. On Oahu, speaking Japanese with Maki, bein...

Watashi wa Juria desu! Just another Wordpress.com weblog. 一人旅 (a solo journey). July 1, 2008. I’m not sure my new desire to hide from people is all and all a good thing, but there is a certain sense of accomplishment and power that comes from the realization that I am not afraid of being lonely anymore. I decided to take this new seed of confidence, put it in the nutrient rich environment of Hokkaido and let it blossom. From the hike up eniwa dake. From the hike up eniwa dake. I crashed at about 8pm agai...

Watashi wa Juria desu! Just another Wordpress.com weblog. 趣があるね My last winter in Sakata, Japan. March 6, 2008. In unison, amongst the sea of chanting and drumming, each osho san grabs a pile of books, takes each one and opens it with strength to have it unfold like an accordion. Quick! Open and close, grab it, open and close. The pages flap and snap back into place. Hup! The drum slows down again. The chanting slows down again. 4 Responses to “趣があるね My last winter in Sakata, Japan”. Also, my eyes and he...

https://juliamushalko.wordpress.com/2008/10/07/if-it-must-be-so
Watashi wa Juria desu! Just another Wordpress.com weblog. If it must be so…. October 7, 2008.

Accepting the inevitable nature of parting. These are the words that I left the teachers at my school with. 2 Responses to “If it must be so…”. October 10, 2008 at 1:40 am. Over the past 2...

Watashi wa Juria desu! Just another Wordpress.com weblog. I 3 New York. December 1, 2009. I’m on a living stipend. Which means I don’t really have income, but if you were to just pretend that this stipend was a salary, it would look like I make $1,000 a month. Maybe in Tanzania that would afford me a comfortable life, but in the place I call home, the upper east side of Manhattan, it’s not going to get me far. I’m not complaining though. 3 Responses to “I 3 New York”. December 20, 2009 at 7:05 am. With t...
