So I am finally getting around to blogging! Yahoo! No promises on how riveting or regular it will be because everything is censored by the Peace Corps and if I want to write well it will need to be honest. Enough said. So here’s the run down. I left my training village about a week [...]

Georgia is awesome. Wish women had more freedom here, we cant really do anything without being judged. So, two stories, I literally got ants down my pants one day and yesterday on my morning run, I stepped  in what I thought was dry dirt but turned out to be a sink hole of mud, I [...]

Gamarjoba! So I’ve been in Georgia for 3 days now. Mostly it’s been just orientation meetings and just a tiny bit of language practice.. which has been tough. What I’ve seen of Georgia.. jut outside the capital in a small village hotel is tranquil hilly beauty, the landscape isn’t striking but peaceful. I can’t wait [...]

My, my, my….I arranged my flight to depart for PC Georgia. I will leave at 6:30 am on Sunday April 25th. Yep, 23 days away from tomorrow morning. I can’t wait. I am bored, it’s Friday night, I am home watching t.v. … lame! I don’t expect my life in Georgia to be fun filled 24/7 [...]

Shit! I pretty much abandoned studying Georgian, but Today’s a new day. I think I am at a countdown of about 35 days till I depart or so? That’s about a letter a day to memorize. Forza! Time to pick up the pace on that. I was gifted some lovely winter layers and a giant lovable [...]

Cuisine Georgian national cuisine is notable for an abundance of all possible kinds of meat, fish and vegetable hors d’oeuvres, various sorts of cheese, pickles and pungent seasonings, the only ones of their kind. A guest invited to the Georgian table is first of all offered to eat the golden-brown khachapuri which is [...]

I am a wimpy Californian and I’m trying to figure out just how freaking freezing I will be next winter, in Georgia. Too bad this info is only as relevant as the 19060’s but, it’s something. Just in case you forgot the metric system since all the way back that one or two times those pesky [...]

So I’ve got about half the Georgian alphabet characters memorized as well as the verb “to be”. Learning the alphabet reminds me of the kiddie game of “match the corresponding cards to one another”. Oh back in the day… I suppose it’s time to advance towards actually sounding out words. Wish me luck. People seem preoccupied with [...]

So it’s now the middle of January and my future is at my doorstep, well, my parents doorstep. In the past month, I’ve had tons of fun and many things going on. As planned, I moved back home with my parents to save a few bucks and avoid any last-minute roommate, leasing or downsizing issues. [...]

It’s December. Time flies when you work and play hard. Buon Natale and Happy New Year 2010!!

So, the premise for my blogging is to post news and information leading up to my upcoming experience with the Peace Corps (woot woot!) and more. I [...]
