robert in the land of the midnight sun: December 2007
http://alaskarob.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Robert in the land of the midnight sun. Monday, December 31, 2007. 2007 wrap-up. 2008 is on its way! Despite the beauty and heritage of the place, I was in for a culture shock. After the newness of Sitka and Alaska faded, I realised that I needed to adapt to a different way of life. In fact, I kind of felt that I had been hit with the double-whammy: I had a good dose of Alaskan culture-shock, topped off with an even bigger dose of American culture-shock! What was I to do next? Where to go from here?

Now, Here Is What You Are Supposed To Do.And Please Do Not Spoil The Fun! 1 WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Both my grandfathers were named Robert. Yes, love it. No, and I ...

Robert in the land of the midnight sun. Tuesday, January 9, 2007. And the sun is out! Well , today was absolutely beautiful! The skies cleared and. The sun came out! So, I think that has made a bit of a liar out of me - the sun does shine, it's just that there are quite a few cloudy days! Oh, and I have also learned two Tlingit words:. Tlei-tlee" which means 'limp' and. Tuk" which means 'bum'. Thursday, January 4, 2007. I'm here in the land of the midnight sun. and it's DARK. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

robert in the land of the midnight sun: March 2007
http://alaskarob.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Robert in the land of the midnight sun. Thursday, March 22, 2007. I had a fleeting visit to Vancouver earlier in the week. Vancouver is a really beautiful city and the little I saw of Canada has left me with a really good impression. Vancouver reminded me of Sydney - without the Australians. At the same time it reminded me somewhat of Christchurch with lots of similar street names and localities. (This is obviously due to the British influence on both cities.). Sunday, March 11, 2007. Ah well. I look...

http://alaskarob.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Robert in the land of the midnight sun. Monday, February 19, 2007. I mentioned in my last blog entry that Alaska was once on the other side of the International Date Line; the shifting of the International Date Line to its present position now means that Alaska is one of the last places in the world to see the sunset! You see, Alaska was once owned and governed by Russia, therefore Russia's day actually began in Alaska! All at the same time! Making that next day the 18 October! Work Food. Time. I'm very ...

Robert in the land of the midnight sun. Friday, May 2, 2008. WHY DOES LOVE DO THIS TO ME? It seems now that. Why does love do this to me? Jackie came, she went away. Deep in the valley, I kissed her that day but. But I'm still thinking. Why does love do this to me? But when I see you sometimes. Asking you how you are. Jackie came, she went away. Deep in the valley, I kissed her that day but. But I'm still thinking of. Why does love do this to me? Why does love do. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do this to me.

Robert in the land of the midnight sun. Tuesday, April 17, 2007. I've been pretty slack in updating my blog lately, but there has been some cool stuff happening over here that I definitely want to post. I will endeavour to do so in the near future. (But then again, don't hold your breath waiting! So, all of you who are following this Alaskan adventure can vote too! Sunday, April 1, 2007. Visa is a four-letter word! By that time I will be broke and hungry. I thought that I was at the end of the line a...
