When there is no room in a car I always call "trunk".

Thanks for taking time to share a glimpse.<BR/><BR/>I can't even imagine mothers who are willing to drop their own children to gain sympathy from others.

You sound a little like someone who has just come back from a missions or overseas trip with just soo much to share, but no energy or words to even know where to begin. Only for you, this is real life, not just a quick glimpse into another culture. Anyways, share what you can, you already are painting such a great picture for us all! <BR/><BR/>So glad you are getting along well with your housemates, what a relief. My guess is that when you come back to the US you are going to be all confused when a street is named "Fig," or "Flower," or some other noun. Again, I do appreciate their system for naming streets/giving directions. Very practical.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06081509687158539236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698896611438351910.post-12254618474260455232008-08-17T07:58:00.000-07:002008-08-17T07:58:00.000-07:00Well done, Julie.

I'm glad you're sharing your stories even though it might seem futile. <BR/><BR/>When I read about the three aid workers killed earlier this week, I have to admit I was very worried for you. I'm glad you're okay, but I'm also so in awe that aid workers continue to stay in the region, especially while being targeted.<BR/><BR/>I do believe, though, that even the presence of aid workers is a step in the right direction toward solving the world's problems, because - aside from the actual work being done - you represent powerful resistance, which is hopeful. <BR/><BR/>Be safe.<BR/><BR/>xo,<BR/>AilsaAbout Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11687510036567026915noreply@blogger.com
