mishti be banned

... m ashamed to post this entry after John's previous beaming one. John the eternal optimist and me the eternal pessimist. But not everything in Bangladesh twinkles and shines. Surprisingly though, I haven't turned my back on Bangladesh. Instead of being a nightmare that I'm trying to banish, Bangladesh fascinates me and I want to know more. Since being home with the phenomenal UC Berkeley library at my disposal I've been researching Bangladesh and whether there's truth in ...

A reunion with Hewitts

POLSKI: Praktycznie cały dzień spędziłam na podróży z południowej do północnej Californii. Mój początkowy plan zakładał, że zamieszkam w San Francisco u kogoś z Hospitality Club i przy okazji , w któryś dzień, spotkam się z Hewitts`ami. Plan jednak nie zadziałał, bo był środek sezonu turystycznego i nie znalazłam nikogo z HC, kto by mnie mógł wtedy ...

a weekend with Hewitts at historical farm

... z lekkim piskiem na jedno z dwóch łóżek. Pokój Michelle i Hannah, który zajęłam ja Ziggy, był dziewczęcy i przytulny. Zanim poszłyśmy spać, pogadałyśmy z Beth i jej mężem; Michelle też była zbyt podekscytowana, żeby iść do łóżka. Na następny dzień wstałyśmy po 7 rano, ubrałyśmy się w niecampowe ciuchy (jakie to miłe uczucie) i o 9 ...

Hotel California - yes, really!

... he had ever spent, was summer in San Francisco. Checking into Hotel California created some issues; Wotif.com was quick to take our booking & our money but less efficient about notifying the hotel. In comparison, and despite dire warnings from concerned friends, our check out and departure was actually a breeze. Pity they don't play the occasional Eagles number in the lobby to add to the ...

Jumpin in Frisco

... and the word "PULL" firmly planted on my mind (all common for me I know, but in this case it referred to releasing a parachute). Again with another fine day, there was nothing better to do than to attend the Folsom Street Festival. Now I do have photos of this, but as per the entry sign on the gate, I recommend "No Pets or Children" view the footage. An interesting way to spend a Sunday afternoon ...

Almost ready....well, kinda...

... com...but my ucdavis one works too (just not as well in South America). I will miss you all and I'll be back before you know it...hopefully with a little more Spanish skill, some amazing photos/stories, a few gifts, and a tummy full of Pisco sours (yay!). I hope that you all having amazing summers and I can't wait to hear all about them when I get back! But for now, I should really conquer this packing thing... Chao! Kimberly

California Bliss!

... and mostly complimentary. They are both gorgeous and VERY expensive to live there. Mostly reds and Zinfindel is their biggie (NOT white zinfindel but a really robust red - that's fancy wine talk). We moved on to San Fran (even bought some Christmas presents in Chinatown - oh yeah!). Sun was an awesome day - we went to the 49's NFL game. We were camped right across from Gate 4 and at 9:00 a.m.! the fans were already tailgating ...

Too Many Hours in a Metal Box

... self-satisfaction and contentment of Missoula. The neat and neon-flashing business-like quality of Spokane. The tired and depressed feel of Tacoma. And all the various points in between. How full of character places are. How much they shape us. And how much we shape them. We left the mountain, had some great Thai food in Enumclaw (I had the Pad Mai But...), then made our way to a funkly old hotel there. The day had been wet and cool, the night was cold, and we were tired. We ...

San Francisco to Kyiv

... s leaving for Cambodia this week. It was a lovely reception with good food and wine, and a lot of people that seemed to be very enthusiastic about what they’re doing for the UN. There were Ukrainians, Americans, Brits, Indians, and other nationalities represented within the group of people present. It was amazing to be part of such a diverse crowd of people all working for the betterment of Ukraine. It made me excited to be part of this organization and what it stands for ...
