@ Hey André! Yeah, I’m an AIESECer too! My LC is actually DLSU. But because of my thesis, and other stuff like work, I am no longer very active in AIESEC that’s why I get frustrated whenever I get notified from the Yahoogroups and I know I can’t go. But sometimes I can attend, but I keep on thinking how will I just go and attend when I don’t k…[Read more]

@ Hey Miyon! I did have a tropical Christmas, but I spent the 26th to the 29th in Seoul, so I still got a taste of winter. But I had a month of no internet, which explains my very very delayed reply. Anyway, cheers! : )

@ HEY! Believe it or not, I only read your reply a month after you left it in my comment wall. whoosh! Sorry about that. But WOW, I really want to see Mongolia! It’s one of the few countries that are Philippine passport-friendly. 🙂

@ hi bro! 😀

@ Hello Spencer. I just read your profile and just wanted to say hello. It’s great to see all the MKs on here.

@ Hi Jiyoon!! Thanks for saying hello!! Greetings from Seattle!!

@ Sure! No deranged rabbits on my end, but email works great for me anytime: josh_sandoz@hotmail.com

@ Hi Josh, welcome to TCK community.
I am Korean but like youself, I spent my teenage times in good ol’ Midwest. In fact I went college in Indiana! I still have a lot of friends there and I do miss all that Midwesterns stuff.
It does feel weird to move back and forth between not only different countries, but also urban and…[Read more]

@ Following up Cynthia’s comment and your status, same here too. Even my Korean friends are either living away from Seoul or in some foreign country. Argh.

@ Hi, Shannon! Welcome!
We lived at Leonrodstrasse 20 in Munich for 5 years back in the 70s. Our apartment overlooked the Olympic Village. I was there that terrible day in 1972. . .
What are you teaching in Munich? I’m hoping to get back to Munich someday–I want to show my partner the wonderful city 🙂

@ Hey Josh! I added you to Skype. Since then we have hosted Libby. What a treat to have her here, but too short, for sure.

She had lots of great things to say about you, too. I’m looking forward to hearing your ideas and the scope. Libby and i also talked about a round-table in the fall, as it looks like our family may have some extended time in…[Read more]

@ Re status: I always ask that same question…

@ Abilgail, I’m sorry it’s taken me forever to reply.
I can totally relate to your hesitation, especially before such a major decision. I don’t think this gets any better with time – though in your case this is now tied in with lots of other questions – choosing what and where to study etc.
International relations is a good idea and in fact this…[Read more]

@ Okay–here’s the “bull” story (and no–NOT in the sense that Americans call something “bull” (or something even more vulgar) 😛 We traveled with our friends, Zuhair and Rafik, to Galle, the day before we were leaving for a short visit to India to see our friend, Padmini. (Galle, in case you don’t know, was built by the Portuguese, and they…[Read more]

@ Hi Rachel!!
So sorry, I just realised I’d never responded to your comment!! It’s been a crazy couple of months…

I was born in the Jaffna Peninsula, so that’s the Northern Province of Sri Lanka (yes, that’s where all the fighting is/was). So I am Tamil by ethnicity. However, I left when I was five (to go to Africa), and never lived in that…[Read more]

@ Margaritas for painkillers sound good to me! Take me with you! I want to go…maybe I can watch you scream in agony while they work on your teeth LOL

Yea it is very expensive in the States. A root canal I need to get will cost me 600+ bucks without insurance. I went back to China to get it done…only cost me 32 dollars…I was told recently…[Read more]

@ Thanks 🙂 wish it was mine but I actually found it online. Nice to see another Rachel too. MK life can be hard can’t it?

@ ROFL! American dentists are just too damned expensive. I mean, I love their ability to engage in “competition” and “free enterprise” but on my salary I’d be toothless by the time I could pay for it.

Mexico offers a beach, margaritas by the pitcher, and 1/5 of the price. Here, it would cost me about $18,000 —in Mexico, are you sitting down:…[Read more]

@ That has GOT to be the cutest puppy in the whole world! Sweet. . .
Anyway–welcome! Nice to see another Rachel 🙂

@ You’re having the rest of your dental work done in Mexico?? What, the American dentists are incompetent?? LOL j/k My “American mentality” kicking in :p

This week is slow…can’t wait for it to be over, although there isn’t much for me to look forward to…yet…I guess. I don’t know, just living a day at a time for now…trying to learn to get…[Read more]
