In Budapest. Bought things for people. Am nervous about said things exploding on the plane flight home. How does one package liquids in glass bottles so that they don't break when in the cargo hold of a plane? I'm going with lots of newspaper and hope...

The first day I got here, it was sunny and incredibly hot and a great beach day ( Read more... )

Just wanted to say that I am in Split and I have a room to stay in tonight and I even haggled the price down (by about ten dollars, but whatever) and I am absolutely in love with Croatia ( Read more... )

I really like Budapest. I'm not even sure why, exactly... It's easy to navigate on foot and by public transportation, even without knowing the language. It's incredibly cheap for a capital city. Both hostels I've been in have been really nice, with super comfy atmospheres and really nice people. It has places like the one I'm in now, which is an ( Read more... )

It's been a week and a half since I wrote a big update email, so I should write one... but I'm not sure what to write. Last week was busy for drama, with lots of performances for kids, which was cool... and then we went to Bucharest, which was hilariously, ridiculously bad... and that's about it ( Read more... )

I have a flickr account now, with my ~best travel pictures up. So far I've got a couple dozen from Romania. Over the next week or so I'm going to try and put up the Israel ones too. Username is whetherwoman, of course.

Still alive. Having fun. Planning to send out an update email soon. Drama is going really great, also we're performing some songs and a pantomime at an orphanage and a hospice and possibly somewhere else. I would like to say I am becoming a pool shark, but it wouldn't be true. If we keep playing pool every day, though, you never know what might ( Read more... )

I'm starting to think about where to go next, since I'll be done here in two weeks. I'd like to spend a few days in Bucharest, and then...? The plan was to go to Croatia, but it's so expensive... Stupid high season. I'd still like to go for a few days... Maybe to a smaller coastal town and not Dubrovnik or something. Also I've heard conflicting ( Read more... )

Good rehearsal/workshop today. We started out with just three girls, and I was panicking and like, "Aaaa I don't know any games for so few people!" But then five more people showed up, and it turned out awesome. Emily really wants to start them on a script, so I'm looking around online for fifteen minute plays for five girls and three boys... and ( Read more... )

I don't know why my lj-cut isn't working. Weird.

Hello from Brasov, which has a little squiggle under the s which means it's pronounced "Brashov". It is very, very hot here, after raining for a few days when I first got here, and it's supposed to rain again tomorrow. Never any one thing long enough to get bored, at least!

My host, Elisabeta, is ( Read more... )
