Digital Whiplash : Going From 2 Hours To Do Email To 5 Seconds: Getting Plugged Into The Internet In The Bush

July 21, 2018

We were so blessed to have two NTMPNG co-workers visit us in the village to help us to do the things we cannot do for ourselves. As a result, we have gone from living off the grid, to being plugged in to a world half a world away! Before we were just village grapevines being bypassed in an internet age.

Bush Cooking: Stir-fry Noodles

Bush Cooking: Stir-fry Noodles

September 17, 2011

One of our quick family meal is stir-fried vegetables with noodles. Since our vegetables are limited to what the people around us grow, this can lead to interesting combinations. I am fortunate that I have two eager sous chefs to help me slice and dice.

Weight a Minute!

Weight a Minute!

March 3, 2011

Unless your car is severely overloaded or you are trying to catch a flight, I bet that you don’t think about weight and transportation at the same time. Do you know how much your computer bag weighs? How about all the groceries that you bought at the store last week? How about everyone in your […]

You are probably most familiar with it in the dessert form of tapioca, those little pearl beads that you soak in water before using in a pudding or a thickener. […]

Living and Drinking a Cup of Water at a Time

January 25, 2011

This morning it occurred to me again just how long life can take over here as I did some of my morning routine.  For example, I don’t think that making coffee takes any longer here than in the States because we have an automatic coffee maker here in the guest house.  However, other things do […]

You Stay, We Go

You Stay, We Go

December 21, 2010

How do you say good-bye?  Farewell?  Until we meet again?  Well in the Lusi language you identify who is staying and who is leaving.  And since Lusi has a few more pronouns than English, you can be very specific about whether the person being talked to is included or not.  We are getting ready to […]
