When a landslide happened in the US elections, getting rid of Bush and his cronies, and bringing in a new era with a black president, on the other side of the Pacific, Vietnam and Yunnan in China have been experiencing other kinds of landslides: For Yunnan, Xinhua has provided an unusual level of detail: Number of fatalities: 40 Number of missing people: 43 Number injured: 10 Number of people affected: 1.27 million Number of ...

... they were able to help with the dress and Dave got the umbrella through security...after the horrid flight attendant charged him $60 for an overlarge bag (.5 in). Airtran is tanking quick with their customer service. I kept smiling though...we were off to Vermont for my wedding and Roy joined us on Wednesday.

... in the kitchen who prepare the food, chop the veggies, serve the food and so on don't get enough credit. All through the tour the food was consistently excellent and the service terrific. Whether you are talking about the western food line or the Indian food line. . . all delicious and all good. The text wrap didn't go too well on this one folks so scroll down! All the devotees ...

... the oakland airport, where we board, then take off at 11:30 pm. After our seven hour flight, we arrive in the wonderful land of important buildings, and musiums of plenty. We then (without sleep- eekk!) take another bus to IHOP, and after our breakfast, imidiately start our day =] After the day is done, we finally check into our hotel, where Erica, Kathryn, Sid, and I are all sharing a room! At least I'll know that we won't ever be bored, because I don't think ...

... check the bottles..of course you can BUY wine after you clear security...for a premium price for mediocre bottles..anyway,the simple is I just have to much stuff to add wine to it...to bad as my cellar contains many good bottles for a nice dinner,or a romantic evening to support food or debauchery. So I bought some nice Pinot for the meal...Yes in America even on Christmas day some stores are open.....Some bittersweet moments have occurred over the last days,and ...

... They took 20 some minutes preparing, but it was cute. When I was finally led inside (eyes closed) I was surprised to see a spread of food, balloons all over the floor, and five bright-eyed students. Carla, Anna, Angela, Julie, and Hunter were so cute. So we had rice cakes, watermelon (that Hunter smashed open with his fist), roll cake, and soda. About an hour later I informed them that they had to go -- I had to take a shower and go meet Yuran and Sunjoong for lunch! I was ...

... Ian. Had a rest between outings and Dave managed to find a hammock. After lunch we went on the water in a small motor boat with Carlos and his Australian wife Trudi. Had a really good afternoon and saw plenty of Cayman up close as well as howler monkeys and even more species of birdlife. Having ridden in the boat upstream, Trudi and I floated in inner tubes downstream with Carlos in the water too pulling His Lordship along in the boat. It was unbelievably ...

... had caught the fish, since the village is so small. The families gave the fish back to the man who had caught them, illegally. The women from the Maya Woman's Center felt that this sent the wrong message and felt the need for immediate consequence. They wanted BAS to do something about it. After the meeting, I met the head park ranger, a quit and passionate man ...

... in buildings where the halls are not air conditioned (actually, I will feel like I'm back in Korea once school starts up again) Being videotaped every single day Watching kids fall asleep in class because they were up until three in the morning studying The rigid schedule and school on Saturday Dodging motorcycles and scooters on the sidewalk where they are allowed to drive Reminding the students to only speak "beautiful" English Climbing up ...

... 74 degrees in Caracas. I still don't know exactly what I am going to do yet. Probably stay in Caracas for two nights, leave on the 27th and hopefully find a nice beach town to spend New Years at. Who knows though...maybe I'll meet some cool ppl in Caracas and end up spending it there. So the plan right now is to spend around 10 days in Venezuela, 15+ in Colombia, 7 in Ecuador, 7 in Peru and the remaining time in bolivia. We ...
