Series on culture
May 10, 2008 08:59
It's always fun to do a series on a blog, and there are many different ways to do it. One of the best is to pick a cultural topic, and post pictures with a description (or a description with pictures) over a period of time.
I thought you might be interested in a couple of these that are going on. First, all the way from Taiwan, over at following an unknown path... a series called simply taiwan. Our friend Amanda will be posting photos of life in Taiwan, and she wants your suggestions.
The first two posts are already up - the first featuring toilets, the second shopping carts.

Another variation is the series over at Caleb and Linda's Update Site, featuring food of Italy. Take for example this Italian Breakfast. This is lunch (even though it looks like breakfast to me). And here are the most recent two - some experimenting, and The Cruder Side of Ham!
Are you a missionary with a series going? Leave a comment and let us know!

Posts from Paraguay

We haven't talked a lot about Paraguay here - why is that? Do you know where it is? That's right - smack-dab in the middle of South America. Here are a few recent posts to get you started:
Cathedral in Asunción, Paraguay.
This is a celebration in honour of the Virgin Mary.

A trip to India
April 25, 2008 13:46
LeakeSpeak is actually a fairly new blog, just started in October of last year. Coming to us from southern Mexico (Oaxaca), the posts have been thoughtful from the start. We've also been treated to some great photos, which enhance any blog.
Ironically enough, what prompted me to finally write about LeakeSpeak here was not Mexico but India. A trip to the other side of the world has led to some very interesting first-impression posts, and some fantastic pictures of places many of us have heard about, but never thought a lot about.
A much-travelled friend of mine once said that the most "different" country in the world (in this case, different from Canada, or even the Western World) was India. I think you'll enjoy this exploration of life, religion and chai in incredible India, where they say Truth Alone Triumphs.
For background on the trip, read I'm going to India. For the first post upon arrival, read Made it to India. Then read later posts for the continuing saga.

Short term travels
April 18, 2008 10:33
As you may know, we don't generally have short term missionaries (less than 2 years) in the aggregator on the main page. But every once in a while I like to feature a few short term blogs here, and it's been a while! So for your interest, here are some short termers who are either in the middle of another culture or getting ready to dive in!
