Spring Break!
I just realized that it’s been far too long since I updated. I can’t write much now because I’m using a computer shared by the entire hostel I’m staying in… but a quick update on the past couple of weeks. … Continue reading
“Our House, In the Middle of Saigon”
Our two-week homestay in Ho Chi Minh city has come to a tear-filled end—grandma cried as she forced the last plates of broken rice, fruit, sweet soup, noodle soup and cups of Nescafe. These have been the best and most … Continue reading

PHO-nominal
I’m ashamed to say I haven’t had a food blog yet, especially since the food might be my favorite part about Vietnam. There are so many intense, wonderful flavors in everything and I often stuff myself beyond capacity. I’ve loved … Continue reading

Squatter Toilets, Spitting, and Culture Shock
Culture shock. Perhaps the most cliché and overly talked-about experiences of living abroad (and with good reason), it can be – in whatever form it presents itself – both incredibly amusing and downright frustrating. One thing is true however it … Continue reading

Three Americans Walk into a Bar…
I walked in with my two friends, and we knew immediately that we were out of place. “Perfect”, I thought. “I’ve been wanting to find a local’s bar for a while, and this is exactly what I had in mind”. … Continue reading

Street Harassment
Street harassment in Morocco is one of the hardest things to get used to. At all times of the day I will have boys and men calling out to me, trying to get my attention. Sometimes (during the day) it is fairly civil, more of a way of acknowledging a young woman as she passes by. During the night, however, it can turn really rather nasty. This is a story of how I coped with some of the more unpleasant night-time cat calls.

The Romance of Candlelit Showers…
My dear blogging audience, I will now spend an entire entry on personal hygiene here in Morocco with my host family. While I sometimes feel that a daily shower is possibly a shower too many on occasion, I have for the most part been accustomed my post tween-age life to regular bathing. My only exceptions are the few extended backpacking and camping trips, during which I usually make liberal use of existent bodies of fresh water (read: lakes and rivers).
