Carnavales in Peru – Ilya Slavinski

Carnavales. A month-long debaucherous hell-of-a-good time. As I wrote in my last column, it takes a lot more than a few words to fully explain this experience. Therefore, I have decided to let pictures do most of the talking.  Below, you will find a few notes to supplement your curiosity. You can click through them at your own pace, pause the show to read some of my notes, or enlarge it to full screen for added effect. Enjoy!

Adventures With and Without Seoul – Grace Sangeun Hong

My journey into Korea started with an application to teach English in rural Korea under the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology. Unlike other programs that offer people the chance to teach English abroad, this program is unique in that it offers both long and short term contracts to its scholars, and as much as they want their applicants to be able to provide exposure to Korean students who often do not have such a chance to experience the English language, they also want to provide their scholars with the ability to learn and love the Korean culture through planned trips, excursions…

Immersion. What else can describe the sensation of diving into new? New what? New everything. I submersed myself into a new lifestyle, while speaking a new language, surrounded by complete and utter strangers. Though they weren’t strangers for long.
My first clear memory of the Cajamarca I know is stepping onto the roof of my new home/workplace. Everywhere I looked there was unfiltered, natural beauty. Well almost everywhere. There was the ugly roof of our next door neighbors. I digress. To my left was a breathtaking view of evergreen mountains. To …

Thoughts on Copenhagen : “To see a tiger is to die; to see an official is to become destitute”  By Andrew Cossard

As our consciousness evolves into a shared sense of conscience, truly sustainable change becomes not only possible but inevitable. In 1962, with the publication of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, the romantic works of wilderness appreciation were at last wedded to a scientific basis for concern, but the canary in the mine was not singing.

Outside Looking In: Reflections on Election Night from a Foreign Country – Marlana Moore

I am blessed to live in Stonier Hall on College Ave my first semester. Across the way from Brower, across the street from the student center, it is in the center of everything. And at this moment in time, I am typing in the midst of an 12 hour party on the Brower steps, a rock concert/voter registration fest with the tired title, “Rock the Vote.” As the Rutgers Democrats and Libertarians and a whole slew of other organizations are handing out treats and strange “commemorative” posters of the President …
