Kristina's Traveling Circus: June 2008
http://kristinastravelingcircus.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 29, 2008. Our first excitement was on Wednesday night, when Sweden had a soccer match in the European Cup. We were all rather disappointed when they lost. A whole suitcase full of American food in the front, and all the other packing]. Maribeth and I slept most of the car ride so we were ready when we had to take the boat across to the island. Helene driving the boat, apparently something was funny]. Maribeth and I waiting for dinner]. Cornelea playing in her little pool]. Maribeth, Thomas, ...

Seeking Something: September 2007
http://maryanninchile.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 30, 2007. We spent three days in the amazing chunk of Chile called the Atacama Desert. Our hostel, in the tourist-student paradise town called San Pedro de Atacama, was entirely too awesome for the short sleeps we spent there. We ate lots of relatively tasty Chilean food, saw some September 18th celebrations, and took fantastic tours to beautiful and diverse landscapes, documented here in photos:. We also swam in hot springs on this tour! Wednesday, September 26, 2007. The coca tea, how...

Seeking Something: October 2007
http://maryanninchile.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 24, 2007. I can't let it rule my life here, however difficult that might be. I'm leaving friday for a week in Buenas Aires (I'll see IH! And trying my best to change my outlook on life. No matter what I do to cheer myself up, though, it's always stressing me out in the background. I suppose only time and healing can really change that, but I'm in no hurry to just wait. Monday, October 22, 2007. A little bit of gangrene never hurt anyone. Today, I went to see a dermatologist to talk abo...

Seeking Something: August 2007
http://maryanninchile.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 29, 2007. Let's talk about sex, baby. I'm consistently surprised by the lack of taboo in Chilean society, especially when it comes to sexuality. It wasn't even sunset. Many of the ISA students have had awfully uncomfortable sex talks with their families ( BC. Tuesday, August 28, 2007. Kitchen full of sunshine! Living room with dining room in the background. Note the relative cleanness. thanks Mama! As the World Turns. I feel as though I haven't posted anything with meaning in quite a wh...

Seeking Something: November 2007
http://maryanninchile.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 27, 2007. Favorite Things: The Market. This is the first entry in a series of things I love/will miss about Chile. Today, the market:. Despite my mother's consistent and caring reminders, I've avoided sunscreen fairly successfully for the majority of my self-dependent years. I hate the smell, I hate the feel, I hate the process of putting it on. My half-latina genes always did enough to get me tan without burning. Apparently, not in Chile. Sunday, November 25, 2007. I'm overall pleased ...

Seeking Something: July 2007
http://maryanninchile.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 31, 2007. Two Sets of Women. Last night was a pretty good night out in Chile overall. However, there was clearly one high and one low point, each punctuated by the Chilean women who caused them. Followed us out the door. Shouting her hatred after us. Quite a sour note on which to end the night. Monday, July 30, 2007. The bad news is it's by watching my own tv set. I've very much grown to enjoy the Travel and Living channel, with cooking and eating and skydiving shows, and watching US sitcom...

http://maryanninchile.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 6, 2007. Favorite Things: Cigarrette Boxes. This is a very simple favorite thing about Chile: the pictures on the cigarette boxes. Message. The warning labels on the back read like Truth ads, including descriptions of the chemicals as tar and rat poison. Wednesday, December 5, 2007. Favorite Things: Los Cerros. Next on the list of things to love/miss about Chile: the topography of Valparaiso. Monday, December 3, 2007. Favorite Things: The Beach. Sunday, December 2, 2007. Next entry in ...

Kristina's Traveling Circus: January 2008
http://kristinastravelingcircus.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 31, 2008. Every-other week, Luis and Verena, the FUBESTs student assistants, set up a "Stammtisch" for us. Stammtisch doesn't have an exact translation to English, but it basically means either a table reserved for the regulars or a reservation that a group has on a certain day. In other news, I am going to Leipzig tomorrow and staying the weekend. However, the BVG (or metro-transit of Berlin) has decided to take a "Warning Strike" starting at midnight tonight and lasting until 3 pm...
