Volunteer

Today I discovered my accommodation has a rooftop terrace, I walked all around and enjoyed the wonderful peaceful view. As I enjoyed the view I though about my love for children, and how much I love to work with kids. I had the idea to go to the local temple and ask if I could meet with a group of kids weekly to do some kind of learning activities with them. I just came back from talking to a young man at the temple who agreed to gather some kids for me every Thursday at 7pm, I am so excited to be doing something with the local kids next week! Maybe I will be inspired to get let go of the shyness again and go to the local school and ask if I can read to the little ones or something! I am super happy and feel that this will make my India experience even more enjoyable!!!

Yesterday I went to Palika Bazaar an underground Market, it was indeed a "bazaar" experience. The market was a little crowded, but they sold some very cheap souvenirs! (not cheaper than Sarojini market, thought) Close to this market was Connaught Place a large shopping and business center that is a very popular tourist destination, It was very nice and I was able to buy some awesome things for the street vendors there. 


At work nothing new has really happened, except that I am close to finalizing my questionnaire, I just finished the questions and just need to have it revised and approved to move to the next step which shall be to interview people from the town of Babel. As usual work is a little slow, which is why I felt the need to look for places and opportunities to volunteer outside the Health Institute. I might even pick up a Yoga class soon ;)

¡Ya llegué!

This is where I am staying, Karana Residence. I finally made it to Bali, Indonesia ! Goodness. So many emociones. I left Oregon on Tuesday... and arrived today Thursday at 2:40pm Bali time. Woah. My first flight from Portland was to Canada ( 1.5 hour flight), then Canada to Singapore (13 hour flight), then Singapore to Manila (3.5 hours ) and finally Manila to Bali ( 3 hours) + about 9 hours at airport transfers... phew!!!  As soon as I arrived at the Bali airport I took out some rupiahs from the ATM and headed out to find a taxi. My "taxi" ended up being some random guy who wasn't a taxi and got lost trying to find Karana... sigh. Wasted 1 whole hour, I mapped it out beforehand and  it was supposed to be a 6 minute drive from airport (eye roll) The roads in Bali are like a labyrinth and everyone is on scooters. Once I got settled I threw my stuff in my room and headed to the beach.  I got to see the sunset and after all those flights and lost ...

Tokyo in January

Riding our go-karts on Ginza street I went to Tokyo again, I think I will be going a lot... There is just so much to see and do, and EAT! ( I am 3 hours away on bullet train, 1 hour away by plane, or 10 hours away if I drive)I have been extremely busy and super cold ( Like what I imagine it is like being at The Wall in Game of Thrones ) so I have not been motivated to do much outside of trying to keep warm ( I live in a newer apartment complex and the insulation is horrible....read up about insulation in Japan. It blows my mind. And while you are at that read about heating sources...also interesting...sigh) I hate being cold!!!! .....Sob story over. Anyway on to Tokyo. So this last time I went I spent 4 days in Tokyo. I also went with Akira which was a grand blast! We did the Mario Kart rental and drove all over Tokyo streets! It was AMAZING! I cannot recommend this enough! It as unbelievable, I mean where else in the world can you ride an actual go-kart on real streets? lik...

Paraíso terrenal

Tulum I am finally back from my birthday trip in Cancun,Quintana Roo and a day in Yucatan.  My 26th birthday was a blast, I was up and about every single day so I did not even have time to blog. I am going to try my best to recollect everything I did. Every time I go to Cancun I see something new and experience something different. Cancun is paradise on earth! One of the most beautiful places I have been to (And well of course it's a big plus that it's Mexico). At Mandala Beach on the day of my Bday The first day we were relaxed and had dinner at our hotel, the next day the plan was to go to Isla Mujeres.  That day was rainy and icky, but of course still fun! we rented a golf cart and went to Playa Norte where we got amazing full body massages ( 1 hr for 25$ !) we shopped a little and then went back to our hotels to get ready for Coco Bongo. To see the shows at Coco Bongo the price is about $70 USD BUT... what no one tells you is that if you start at the Congo and...
