The Fulbright Teacher Exchange program has been a great experience for me. It provided me with a cultural give and take, with professional training and development and with one of the most exciting personal understanding of myself on one hand and of other people on the other hand.

And when you are prejudiced, it is very hard to respect and value a culture that is different from yours. So, it would just be easy for you to criticize the educational system, ...

MY VISIT TO WASHINGTON 2O-03-208 After a five week stay in Arizona, I headed towards Washington. The plane was two hours late at the airport in Arizona.

If you have been reading my blog, you are most probably familiar with this title. Well, my travels continue with no struldbrugs, Lilliput or Blefuscu, but with some adventures that might equal these as far as a teacher is concerned.

My partner was not in Arizona during this weekend, so I had to improvise things for myself. In fact it was a nice weekend. It started Friday after school. I came back home at about two and had one of the most relaxing naps I have ever had since I came to the States. I woke up at 7:00 pm and I did not even know where I was, as I was ...

This weekend I went to California, San Diego and Disney Land. What can I say? Really gorgeous. I loved everything in San Diego, the bay, the Balboa park and mostly the trees and floweres that give the city that coziness that I appreciate so much. I went to Disney land by myself as a big girl. I took the plane, the train, the bus and the ...

I tried to go for a walk in Arizona, or at least in Scottsdale, but I discarded the idea as I have been here for 2 weeks and have never ever seen anybody walking. Cars, cars, cars everywhere.
