Zipping Laos into the technological age through the eyes of a public health worker. Tuesday, January 6, 2009. I've been changing my mind a lot (not new for some of you) regarding my travels, and I've decided to make things simple by just spending my last week over here in Siem Reap and Angkor, Cambodia, to explore the center of the magnificent, ancient Khmer civilization.

Zipping Laos into the technological age through the eyes of a public health worker. Friday, January 2, 2009. Happy New Year, Hmong Style! Hmong New Year lasts for a month or more since villages celebrate at different times, perhaps having to do with timing of the harvest season. This week is the grand festival at Kilometer 52, a conglomerate of Lao and Hmong villages around the 52nd kilometer marker on Route 13 north of Vientiane Capital. A Few Hmong New Year Traditions. The courtship game played between...

Zipping Laos into the technological age through the eyes of a public health worker. Saturday, September 13, 2008. This week was a rush of preparation for Laos, from figuring out travel/visa issues to discussing research protocols/logistics with the field team to sussing out the difference between "deh" and "deeh".to even looking for a motorbike helmet that won't make me look terribly like a matchstick!

Zipping Laos into the technological age through the eyes of a public health worker. Thursday, July 17, 2008. Beginning to Learn Lao. I really want to make an effort to understand and converse in Lao, so I've been searching for a Lao tutor all over DC. The embassy was a surprisingly disappointing resource, but I finally was able to reach a former president of the Lao American Women Association. I've perused books (not too many options out there), but I really want a "native speaker" (a la JET! To a more s...
