I just wanted to stop by to tell you how much I enjoyed this book (I won it from you!). As someone who has moved from mainland America to an island – albeit a more modernized one – I could definitely see some parallels. I’ve passed it on to my husband, and will circulate it freely. I love sharing books! Thanks again.

I went to Majuro in February for temporary duty and it’s not as bad as I thought. Maybe because I only stayed there for 4 days. A day longer would have been too much. They already have cable TV and a really really slow internet connection. I’ve also met a lot of non-Marshallese and they had interesting stories to tell. It looks like most of them have gotten used to life there and are no longer interested to go back to their home countries.

Thank you so much for the kind comments on my photograph and for linking and attributing too (not everyone who blogs my work bothers !)
If anyone is interested in sending me to the Marshall Islands for a photographic expedition please let me know *giggles*

I have to admit that this photo, which I got from Flikr, does not show the Marshall Islands, but the Indian Ocean, but the atoll and the sea are the same colors. I could not find a photograph that was available for free use of the Marshalls–just go to prove how un-toursited they are.

I'd like to read this. I just finished THE SEX LIVES OF CANNIBALS and this book seems like it would be interesting to read after that one. .-= Jennifer Margulis´s last blog ..Canadian Home Birth Study Finds Home Birth As Safe or Safer Than Hospital Birth =-.

I certainly relate to the author’s experience. At the age of 25 I decided to move to Rio de Janeiro, my own idea of paradise. I had problems from day 1: I didn’t understand the culture or the language. If felt isolated and lonely for a while. And, like the author, I judged Brazilians until one day some one said, “it would be great if all countries were based on English common law but they aren’t. We have a right to our own evolution.” This forever changed my view of other countries because I stopped comparing them to the U.S.
