Hey Everyone, check out Ariel's page: http://chriscudebec.typepad.com/ariels_page/ He has been better at keeping his stories interesting than I have. Something is odd with the way Typepad spaces things, and there is some odd spacing on his page, but it's still...

Hello Everyone, this is a remider that all of my new posts (sparse though they are) are now on this log-in site: chriscudebec.typepad.com/log2/ There is not much difference in the substance of the posts, I am just allowing myself more...
Most of Albania has been deforested over the years. I had heard that the southern area around the town of Permet, especially the part between Korça and Permet, was a notable exception. As the crow flies, Permet is about 35...
Hello everyone, I will be posting most of my future posts to a new page: chriscudebec.typepad.com/log2/ This is a log in site. I am not setting this up to keep anyone out, only to make sure I comply with Peace...
Last Tuesday night, I was sitting in my apartment reading and listening to music. I was feeling a little out of sorts. I was wondering what the hell I was doing here. Why am I subjecting myself to two years...
I am now in my third week in Korça. I’m getting into the routine of work, which so far isn’t too difficult. I am running into some Access problems, but it gives me something to work on. I have about...
I am now in the middle of my second week in Korça, working for the Regional Development Agency (RDA) of the region. During our training, we heard a lot about how the offices that Community Development PC volunteers work with...
I went to Korça this past week. It was good times. All of us trainees went to Pogradec for a three day “counterpart conference”. Pogradec is on the border with Macadonia, on lake Ohrid. It is quite picturesque. We got...
(from May 15th...) So there is this lake that I have gone swimming at quite a few times in the past month or so. It’s about 2 kilometers from my house (that’s right, Dave, two kilometers, you figure it out)....
I was able to get some more pictures up, I tried to change the naming structure so that the newer pictures are all together. I haven't really had any time free to write, but I will be catching up on...
Hey everyone. Sorry, I know it’s been a long time since I rapped at ya, but things been a little busy for me lately. There are a few odd things about Albania that seem so normal to me now that...
Sorry for the lack of posts latelty, I have been working in Elbasan (our hub town) for two weeks, and Jimmy has borrowed my computer to work on our school paper, so I don't have much access. I've been working...
Nikhil hates New Jersey. Over the past month (which really seems like forever, it’s difficult to believe that I haven’t known the people in my Peace Corps group my entire life, as they are now my main social outlet) I...
It's been a while since I did this, and I am still ignorant of how to post this on the side panel, so THE VIEWS EXPRESSED ON THIS SITE A SOLEY MINE AND NOT REFLECTIVE OF THOSE OF THE PEACE...
I found out that I am going to Korca (actually called "Korcha", the c is with a tail, ch). Korca is about 30 km from the border with Greece in the South East of Albania. I am not sure how...
I talked to Sarah Hoffman the other day. She is in PC here in Albania and has been for a year now. I found her weblog a while back and it was a great introduction for my experience here. If...
Sorry for the delay in getting another posting up, I’ve had some struggles with the internet as of late. We’ve lost another dude to love. I hope we are done with that, we can’t take losing many more people. We...
We lost Bobby to love this week. It was really difficult to see such a great guy go, but love prevailed as it does. I hope his girlfriend appreciates him as much as he deserves to be appreciated, he is...
So the various computers I use have various reactions to my camera and as my own comupter is sans energy for the time being, I am unable to support my story with pictures. Alas, they are many and beautiful. This...
So it's been less than a week since I have been in Albania, but it seems like it's been much much longer. My group met in Philadelphia for three days to go over Peace Corps paperwork and to get to...
I need to figure out how to put this on the sidebar, but: THE VIEWS AND CONTENTS OF THIS WEBLOG ARE SOLEY MY OWN, AND DO NOT REFLECT THE VIEWS NOR POLICIES OF THE PEACE CORPS OR THE US GOVERNMENT....
So I wrote a long story of my first week with PC and of course there were problems posting it from the computer here. I will work on that tomorrow. Things are great, I live in a villa overlooking a...
So we headed back north, and stopped by a church called Noravank (nora-new vank-church) which had some great architecture (again, check out the photo album on the right). We spent a few days in Vanadzor and met Manet's family and...
John and I went to his "Mid-service training" over the next few days in a place just outside of Yerevan. It had been a vacation spot of the Soviet elite back in the day, but was pretty much abandoned now....
I know, I know. The title of this weblog is "Chris in Albania", but now we have to read about Armenia? I had such a great time in Armenia that I have to share. ----------------- I got off of the...
Peace Corps let me know that I was assigned to Albania quite a few months ago now. Since then, the main focus of what I've been reading has been about Albania. I read Miranda Vickers' book, The Albanians, which is...
So I am setting this here 'blog up sos to keep in touch with everyone back home once I am over in Albania with Peace Corps. As I am not leaving until late March, this blog is currently inappropriately named....
