A few taxi vans are schedule to take our group of 14 teachers from our TINY hostel here in Yokohama to the amazing Ocean Dream! Silk Tree Youth Hostel - Yokohama, Japan.

We will be really really busy. There is so much...27 - ...

Gypsy GoLightly: Around the World in 80(ish) Days
http://gypsygolightly.blogspot.com/2012/08/im-gearing-up-to-start-my-next.html
Tuesday, August 14, 2012. Around the World in 80(ish) Days. I’m gearing up to start my next adventure in a few days – so, it’s time to get this very neglected blog up and running again to keep friends and family up-to-date. I’ve just spent the last 4ish months soaking up time with family and friends. Two months in Hong Kong with my big sister and the amazing ladies of Hillwood Rd. Then two months with my parents, family, and friends back in the states. These people are amazing. August 15, 2012 at 12:47 PM.

Gypsy GoLightly: Reconnecting
http://gypsygolightly.blogspot.com/2011/10/reconnecting.html
Thursday, October 13, 2011. Let’s first address the mighty elephant(or should I say cow) in the room – I haven’t posted here in 8 months. I know, I have never actually been a model of diligence. You’re probably laughing at my stats on the right. Yea, 6 posts in over a year. Most people update their facebook/twitter more than that in a day. All of that aside, I’m giving this blog another go around. Mostly because I’ve been living abroad off-and-on(mostly on) for the past 5 years and I̵...Where we're g...

Gypsy GoLightly: The power of the written word
http://gypsygolightly.blogspot.com/2011/10/power-of-written-word.html
Wednesday, October 19, 2011. The power of the written word. They make me laugh; they make me think; they make me envious of your story telling ability. I know I’m not the only one you write to. We’re not the oldest or closest of friends. There is never any romance. Your letters give me a little insight into your day or into your complex mind. Your letters are a joy! October 26, 2011 at 5:53 AM. This is so sweet. makes me want to pick up a pen and write a letter! November 1, 2011 at 9:12 PM. Simple templa...

Gypsy GoLightly: February 2011
http://gypsygolightly.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 6, 2011. Sorry this is coming about a month and a half in delay! It must have taken me this long to process that I wasn’t going back. Not yet, anyway. The first day’s events blew me away. I was told to invite some friends and that each class would have a small performance or presentation for me. It was so much more. But it was no genuinely Mindia I couldn’t help but love every bit. Then came more dancing! After that my 11th grade boys graced me once again by reciting Georgian love poems ...

Gypsy GoLightly: I'm back!
http://gypsygolightly.blogspot.com/2010/11/hi-its-been-way-too-long-since-my-last.html
Monday, November 22, 2010. It’s been way too long since my last update. I don’t know why I put it off for so long and now I feel overwhelmed with all the news I should be posting here. So much has happened with my family and fun adventures around the country and I’d love to rant on about it all, but first I should probably mention how school is going. Yes, I’m actually teaching. You’ve probably forgotten by now. But sure enough, there we went, down the gravel road, on a minibus, and on to school. They ru...

Gypsy GoLightly: "You can dance if you want..."
http://gypsygolightly.blogspot.com/2011/10/you-can-dance-if-you-want.html
Friday, October 14, 2011. You can dance if you want.". On this particular night I found myself stranded in the bathroom, wearing my favorite royal purple, A-line party dress. It had seen me through countless celebrations without fail - until tonight. The side zipper busted wide open. There was absolutely NO chance of fixing it. My entire side, from armpit to waist, was exposed. I thanked my lucky orthodox saints that I wore a bra. Here is my list of top dance destinations. No celebratory dinner is comple...
