Good article about teaching abroad...

Susan Wunderink reviews a book called Innocents Abroad and shares some of her own insights.

Cultures will clash, but they have clashed in different ways over the centuries.  Her comment at the end makes it worth reading the not-so-long review . . .

Seems like everytime I go to the States...

. . . There's a big lull in my blogging!  So again, 'well-watered garden' has been on hiatus since December.  January flew by in its less-than-snowyness--for which I was grateful as I drove around the Tri-State area to 14 different churches in about 4 weeks.  Glad that there was little snow and ice for that!  But as the snow falls outside my apartment in Kiev, I'm happy to see it.  I don't drive in Ukraine, and won't even be taking any busses today.  The snow covers up the icky greyness of this 'ugliest time of the year.'  :-)

Here's one of my 'home for Christmas' pics with family:
