An American in Bangkok. Friday, August 15, 2008. Final day in Thailand! The Bioethics Museum at UNESCO Bangkok. Our last day in Thailand was bittersweet, as final days usually are. We began the morning with our last official BIOCEP presentation ever, at the UNESCO Asia-Pacific. A display about cloning, with models of Dolly. Scriptive nor wholly pre. Hailing a taxi as we left the UNESCO headquarters,. We caught sight of a bunch of masked police officers. Writing a ticket on a speeding (or illegally-parked?

An American in Bangkok. Friday, August 8, 2008. One of several statues at the hospice. Our final academic stop for the week was at an AIDS Hospice located in Lopburi, Thailand, about two hours north of Bangkok, deep in the countryside. The hospice is actually a temple, called Wat Phra Nam Phu, a beautiful sanctuary-like compound home to several hundred people and families living with HIV and/or AIDS. The entrance to Wat Phra Bat Nam Phu. A row of the homes for patients and families. The temple of ashes.

An American in Bridgetown: Day Two: In which I give my paper!
http://kelly-in-barbados.blogspot.com/2008/02/day-two-in-which-i-give-my-paper.html
An American in Bridgetown. Philosophy and the Caribbean Sea. Friday, February 29, 2008. Day Two: In which I give my paper! Yes, today was the big day - my first paper delivered at a conference. Ever How did it go? Did I freeze up? Was I booed away from the podium? Did I trip over a power cord? Was I raked over the coals in the Q&A session afterwards? Did I fail to realize this until the night before I was scheduled to speak? The answer to those two is, unfortunately, yes. This is how I opened my talk:.

An American in Bridgetown: Bridgetown
http://kelly-in-barbados.blogspot.com/2008/03/bridgetown.html
An American in Bridgetown. Philosophy and the Caribbean Sea. Sunday, March 2, 2008. This statue was built to commemorate the installation of piped water to Barbados's capital on March 29th, 1861. It was lovely, but - the irony! It was bone dry! No water running to this fountain! This monument, on the other hand,was created for a different reason which I've now forgotten. Pretty, though, isn't it? These, if you can believe it, are Barbados's Houses of Parliament. The promenade by the water. I have to admi...

An American in Bridgetown. Philosophy and the Caribbean Sea. Saturday, March 1, 2008. Finally. hitting the beach! So, the conferencing is over - let the relaxation begin! I made my way down to the beach bright and early this morning to meet a few of the remaining philosophers down at the shore by their hotel. The road down to the beach. Finally. the beach! Still, I only had so much time to spend observing the local flora - I wanted to see the sea! My best beach buddy. And some sailboats came by too.
