Chelle:
If you are interested in an overseas experience. Look into habitat for Humanity Global Villages. They send teams of volunteers all over the world to build houses. I went to New Zealand about 8 years ago and built a house; nearly finished it too. If I recall we spent a week building the house and about week touring New Zealand. It was a wonderful experience.

Yes, the English language is both written and spoken many strange ways

Beer and bear do not sound the same but bear & bare do.
Originally posted by Chelle DB View PostJust a quick update on the Nepal trip I was hoping to go on in 2013 - it's not what I was hoping for. It's more a trekking adventure but for 2 days out of 16, you get to help plaster/paint the school or help levelling out the playground or play with the kids. I don't mind that part of the trip but I'd rather go straight to that then spend 10 days trekking up the mountain...

Originally posted by Trindajae View PostI agree with you completely about beer/bear/bare... but pork is just wrong. Talk rhymes with clock, block, tock, sock, walk *AND* chalk. Though I could understand people wiffling about walk and chalk if they're getting really specific because if you listen extremely closely it's sometimes possible to hear the 'l' in "lk". Of course, I've been told I talk funny, so that part might just be me.
Of course, put on some Tom Petty, Kid Rock or Lynyrd Skynyrd or any other southern rock artist and I notice the twang to my accent right away. Go figure.
Linguistics is strangely fascinating!

I've been relearning guitar (whenever I have free time) from when I used to play in highschool these past few months and decided ukulele wasnt a far stretch. So yeah, I'm learning that as well and having a blast with it. I love going to Youtube and finding different tutorials for current songs on the radio to learn to play so I can amaze myself on a regular basis.
What do you do when your employer gives you extra hours this week (thankfully taken) though with a start time at 3am and then proceeds as you're ready to go home for the day to give you two gift cards as a thank you for changing up your hours and coming in early? You hug them of course.
True story.

Originally posted by EH-T View PostWhy the Grey Cup of course, for the championship of the Canadian Football League. My team is up against the BC Lions in Vancouver this weekend and I shall be there. I suspect this puts me at odds with the Sanctuary family as they all live in BC. Oh well, I shall send them a nice sympathy card when their team loses. Added bonus: meeting up with family from across the country for the party. My cup runneth over.
Oh and have fun with the family. xo

Here's a different Nepal trip if you find yourself wanting to go the country without the school.

As for the language barrier...I think reading the book at AT6 is a super great idea to really show how diverse our languages are. I love it. I love hearing everyones accents...I think they're awesome. Just saying."Live Peace - Speak Kindness - Dwell in Possibility"
