the people you love make you a different person
Malaysia	It’s true and I am going to tell you how. Truth to be told, I was a rather selfish person by nature. The youngest of the lot, lavished with much love from my family, blissfully ignorant of our financial situation, envious and jealous of others because they had better things or toys, left to m...more info>>> Discovered on 24/07/2009 12:01:00 Discovered @ suanie.net
On not being the best Korean speaker in a group of forigners
South Korea	While my Korean is infantile at best, I can get around pretty well and people generally turn to me when they need to ask a Korean something or relay some message.

Thirsty
Vietnam	When Kristin Bair O’Keeffe approached me to design a web site for her debut novel, Thirsty, I was excited, but also a bit hesitant. It’s the story of one woman’s journey through an abusive marriage, and I wasn’t sure if I could convey the message.

The power of a smile and a kind word
Philippines	In the past, I have written about how I enjoy meeting and talking to Filipinos. As you walk through a mall, many of the sales people will say “Hello Ma’am/Sir.” Most people just walk by, but being an American, when people say hello, I stop to say hello in return.  Also at times when I [...]...more info>>> Discovered on 24/07/2009 00:01:00 Discovered @ americanindavao.com

Tour de Energy
Thailand	While I realize that that there are many Americans who pack away 8,000 calories a day (Manhattanites excluded), few of them actually could ride a stage in the Tour de France. Much less the whole thing. Much less eat 8,000 calories a day and lose weight over the course of a month.
