Farewell et Adieu, Home and Native Land: December 2010
http://mythstin.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Farewell et Adieu, Home and Native Land. Things I Enjoy About the DR. Sunday, December 26, 2010. Out and About in Edmonton. Face tuck when the wind blows. Full face showing when wind isn't blowing. After I bought a few gifts, I hopped on the LRT to go to Holt Renfrew. I had a particular item I wanted to pick up for Bart, but when I got there, I found out that they only carry it in their Vancouver and Toronto stores. So I ended up just getting him some awesome socks! It was a nice evening! I also had a fe...

Farewell et Adieu, Home and Native Land: March 2011
http://mythstin.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Farewell et Adieu, Home and Native Land. Things I Enjoy About the DR. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. The last month has been a bit of a whirlwind. It has been a bit of an adjustment, in a lot of ways, but also fairly easy in other aspects. I have even got to take in 2 Oilers' games since I got back, and even though we lost both of the games, it felt really good to be singing my national anthem, drinking Molson and cheering on my team! Saturday, March 5, 2011. Hurray for becoming acclimatized! Also, when I'm ou...

Farewell et Adieu, Home and Native Land: The Ugly Side of the DR
http://mythstin.blogspot.com/2010/07/ugly-side-of-dr.html
Farewell et Adieu, Home and Native Land. Things I Enjoy About the DR. Monday, July 26, 2010. The Ugly Side of the DR. Our internet at home has been terrible the last few days and so I was not able to post more frequently. Hopefully we will get that dealt with soon. I got there a bit early so I got my groceries quick (ingredients for guacamole) and then we went and had very yummy ice cream and got a chance to catch up a bit. Afterwards, I walked home and then proceeded to nap for about 3 hours. It's so sa...

Farewell et Adieu, Home and Native Land: Where have all the Snickers bars gone?
http://mythstin.blogspot.com/2010/08/where-have-all-snickers-bars-gone.html
Farewell et Adieu, Home and Native Land. Things I Enjoy About the DR. Friday, August 6, 2010. Where have all the Snickers bars gone? Normally, I don't get excited about it being Friday because I work on Saturdays. but this Saturday (sábado) we are heading out to Isla Saona for Paula's birthday! Which means a full day of sun (hopefully), sand and water! There are over 20 of us going together - interns, aiesecers, coworkers, friends. It should be a great time! It looked like it had been there forever and h...

Farewell et Adieu, Home and Native Land: Epic Hair at the Bookstore
http://mythstin.blogspot.com/2010/09/epic-hair-at-bookstore.html
Farewell et Adieu, Home and Native Land. Things I Enjoy About the DR. Thursday, September 23, 2010. Epic Hair at the Bookstore. Lately, I've been feeling like life is really normal here. Nothing random and crazy is happening anymore. And then, the man with the epic hair came into the bookstore. But at first, I couldn't get a good shot of him, so I drew a quick sketch to send to Mari who I was chatting with at the time. I'm such a creepy stalker at the bookstore. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). No Sus...

Farewell et Adieu, Home and Native Land: Ants in my Purse
http://mythstin.blogspot.com/2010/12/ants-in-my-purse.html
Farewell et Adieu, Home and Native Land. Things I Enjoy About the DR. Sunday, December 5, 2010. Ants in my Purse. Yes, that is correct. I had ants (and tiny spiders) in my purse on Friday morning. By the end of the day I was exhausted with a headache. I decided not to go to Romanian night as a result. Instead, I spent the evening listening to Beethoven and reading my book. It was exactly what I needed. I was also able to have a chat with mom and with Bart, which was nice. Today, I had exciting plans!

Farewell et Adieu, Home and Native Land: EDMONTON!
http://mythstin.blogspot.com/2010/08/edmonton.html
Farewell et Adieu, Home and Native Land. Things I Enjoy About the DR. Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Kind of annoying actually - since so much cheesy Dominican culture was on display which made me sad. Northern Lights from the Plane. After coffee with Leslie, I walked over to Churchill Square to meet Karen at 3 Bananas. On the way I stopped in to see my Uncle quickly too. He seemed a bit surprised to see me walk through the door! For lunch with Bart at Zinc. Avocado and goat cheese mousse. Pool at City Hall.

Farewell et Adieu, Home and Native Land: One Week Later...
http://mythstin.blogspot.com/2011/03/one-week-later.html
Farewell et Adieu, Home and Native Land. Things I Enjoy About the DR. Saturday, March 5, 2011. Hurray for becoming acclimatized! Also, when I'm out driving with Bart or my brother (I've yet to put insurance back on my own car) I keep thinking to myself, if we were in the Dominican, we could totally run this red right now, or we could totally decide this was a turning lane. But at the end of the day, I am comforted by the order and all the rules we have here. So overall, lots of little changes, but so far...

Farewell et Adieu, Home and Native Land: February 2011
http://mythstin.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Farewell et Adieu, Home and Native Land. Things I Enjoy About the DR. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. Last Week in the DR (Part II). After lunch, we went over to Sweet Bakery. Ozumy gave me a going away gift, which I was so excited about: a Dominican cookbook! On Tuesday, I tried to sleep in a bit, but wasn’t too successful. I spent the day packing and cleaning. I was surprised when I discovered that everything was going to fit in my bags without being “overpacked! I also made a stop at Duty Free and picke...
