Group Shots

So. Since i've got hundreds of pictures and videos from Namibia i'm going to have to break it up a little. first and easiest will be group shots / students and photos people have sent me.

i'll add the stories that go with them when i put up the photos for that section. there's a lot to come...



we had a few long bus rides



kids everywhere loved us

orphanage


stay in the shade, stay in the shade.



getting rowdy on the bus











our guides got a kick out of all the things we did


one of two trucks


mixed drink in jug getting passed around


safari style. looking for cheetahs. our professor in the front


resort pool








train station on the way to the airport in germany (we were rerouted from our bus due to snow)


there were pools at lot of our campsites


last night out


at the airport


himba tribe


so basically i had our professor going for about three days in a row with a piece of grass. for a long time he thought it was a bug, then his glasses strap that was tickling him, then his hair, after that i dont know what he was thinking. but he never turned around. im pretty sure he wont read this blog either... im trying to get at least a B.


my first (and probably last) participation in a human pyramid.




hey, you got a kid on your shoulders.

Get Jealous

vegetable melody- every other day


rice, veggies, soy sauce, hot sauce, and sometimes a fried egg on top. the best.

Last of the Bangkok batch

Still had some pics from thailand lying around...


Khao San Rd. - party street. lots of backpackers





advanced graduate students for the english speaking class. california, iran, japan, france, and one of our thai instructors.

crossed the river on my lunch break to check out a super tall temple












i wanted to get some pictures of daily sights...

extremely common fresh fruit stands


just about every street has a few of these- hole in the wall super mini, super crammed shops



this how a ton of "street restaurants" look and work. one little stand with two or so people running it. little plastic chairs and mini tables with a very limited menu. most of the time each little stand serves one type of food. soup, pad thai, etc... you can get a good meal for about one dollar.


more food stands. i heard something about all these people running the food stands pay up to someone. whether its some kind of low key mafia people or the landlords of the building they are in front of i dont know, it probably depends.

dried sea food. smells awesome when walking by..................................


massage school





democracy monument

this is at the peak of a mini mountain in the city, its incredible

a model of the place




the paths wrapping the mountain are lined with these bells. good luck of some sort i would imagine...



Bangkok International Airport


commuter boats that go through the city. originally these water ways were build around the city to protect it from invasion but now its full of boats carrying people. anyway, when it goes under low bridges they lower the ceiling. i've definitely been tagged in the head a few times when i wasnt paying attention.


on my way to class. the river floods sometimes...





ok. thats it for thailand. i still have hundreds of pictures to put up from africa. a lot from switzerland too... stay tuned.

going here:

this saturday.
more or less... i'll be in Namibia (southwest africa) for two weeks. traveling around. visiting the Himba tribe - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himba - doing some work in an orphanage...

good stuff
