Like a typical 10 year old, my first impression of Laos on a Google Map was quite judgmental and ignorant: it’s so tiny, I thought. Extremely small, especially compared to the size of America or even Thailand, a neighboring country. However, I soon came to realize that Laos was a country studded with natural and historical beauty, untouched by the deleterious effects of tourism. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/96/Wat_Xieng_Thong_Laos.JPG Laos: Through the Mekong five-day cruise along and the sun’s rippling reflection villages.

Several depicted a sitting Buddha in meditation, while others fea- tured a standing Buddha in prayer with cupped hands. The intricate, unique designs and pos- tures enlivened the statues, giving them both individuality and personality and astounding me with the significance of Buddhism to this culture. Another morning we visited the pictur- esque Wat Xieng Thong, a monastery situat- ed at the intersection of the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers. Until 1975, the wat, or monastery, was under the patronage of the royal family where kings were crowned. Wat Xieng Thong is now one of the most important Lao monaster- ies and is a testament to the spirit of Buddhism, royalty, and 16th century art. The temple com- plex is huge, with a sim, or ordination hall, and numerous shrines, pavilions, and residences for monks. I distinctly remember tons of gold: gilded wooden doors depicting scenes from Buddha’s life, golden Buddhas in incense-fra- granced rooms and gold thread embroidery in 02 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f7/Laos_-_Luang_Prabang_100_-_evening_prayer_at_Wat_Xieng_Thong_(6582764551).jpg “I recall seeing at least a hundred male monks, draped in thin orange robes, lining the cobblestone streets outside the temple” carpets and reliefs.

In conversation with forty-five first- and second-generation Russian intellectuals who relocated from Russia and the former Soviet Union, the researcher investigates transnational Russian identity through ethnographic, auto-ethnographic, and visual anthropology methods. Educated migrants from Russia who shared with the researcher a comparable epistemic universe and experiential perspective, and who were themselves experts on migration, discuss what it means to belong to global transnational diasporas, how they position themselves in historical contexts of migration, and what they hope to contribute to modern intellectual migrant narratives.

Internationational Cuisine a la PPRE 2016016 Group A Bledhus (Indonesia) In principle, Bledhus consists of separately steamed for 15 minutes grated-coconut and corn. when mixing them together, depends on the type of corn, one can add either sugar or salt. Originally, old dry low quality corn seed (Indonesian-Javanese: gronthol) is used. But of course, it is not possible to find this type of corn Germany, so the recipe needs slight adaption. The sweet tin corn from supermarket is used in this event. Further, because the corn is already sweet, instead of adding sugar like the original recipe, salt is added to give the taste balance in the grated coconut and corn mixture. Ingredients (for 20 people): Guiso de Pollo (Paraguay) In Paraguay, the most common daily foods/dishes (like in other countries) are rice-based and corn-flour-based foods. In this blog, we will describe a brief process on how to prepare a Guiso de Pollo (chicken stew) with ingredients found in markets from Oldenburg - Germany. Ingredients (for 20 people): Additionally, ingredients like oil and some herbs were not purchased because they were already available. The quantity needed are: 500 ml sunflower oil, parsley and oregano at ease. Please note: the ingredients, in this case, had to be divided because the size of the stoves were not big enough for all the ingredients; still, the process and steps are the same. Procedure 1. The oil must be preheated for approximately 1 min, and afterwards the crushed garlic is mixed and let it fry for another 2 min.

There is no single “American” flavor in the region from Canada to Mexico, Pacific to Atlantic. However, each region has traditional dishes, flavors, ingredients, and cooking methods. Each is worthy of attention. There are coastal zones with abundant seafood; Asian pockets with fusion influences; the vast mountains, plateaus, and plains with beef, wheat, potatoes, and corn; Southern cuisine with African influences; and Mexican food with both native and Spanish flavors, to name just a few. North American cuisine began with the Native Americans and soon fused with the first European settlers at Plymouth, so the Northeastern United

During my spring 2014 semester I had the privilege to study abroad in Puntaranes, Costa Rica. While I was there I studied Spanish and took other classes like dancing, surfing, and cuisine! I had an amazing experience in Costa Rica and loved learning new things about the culture. One of my favorite things to do in Costa Rica was to cook and to try new foods! Most of the food in this book I was able to eat and cook while I was in Costa Rica, and it was delicious! 3 Food Introduction Food is very important to every culture and it plays a significant role in traditions. People around the world eat different things and have different traditional dishes that they eat. In this book I will have a brief preview of some of the food I ate and cooked in Costa Rica. 4 Rice and beans In Costa Rica you will rarely see a meal without rice or beans. It is served up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Rice and beans these are the two ingredients used in many dishes. Costa Ricans prepare their rice and beans in various ways. One of their most famous way to serve it is in a dish called “Gallo Pinto.” Gallo pinto is a mixture of black beans and white rice sprinkled with onions, and spices! While in Costa Rica I usually ate Gallo pinto paired with eggs, tortillas and an avocado! It was one of my favorite dishes! 5 Traditional dishes: Casado The traditional Costa Rica dish is called a casado: which translated means “Marriage” and they described it as a little bit of everything.

  • Gallo Pinto Costa Rica | Medium | 20 Minutes | 6-8 Servings | Main Dish
    Gallo Pinto Costa Rica | Medium | 20 minutes | 6-8 servings | Main dish Gallo Pinto is a traditional dish from Costa Rica. It can be eaten at any meal, especially breakfast. A similar dish is popular in Nicaragua, Panama, and El Salvador. Elsewhere this dish is also known as “ Casamiento” “Moros y Cristianos” (“Moors and Christians”) or just Moro. In Costa Rica’s Limón Province, the dish is prepared with coconut oil and is simply called “rice and beans”. Gallo Pinto is usually served with corn tortillas, fried sweet plantains, cheese, eggs, fresh tomatoes, avocado slides or a spoon of fresh sour cream. Tools and equipment ~ Frying pan (deep) Ingredients Directions Cooked rice 3-4 cups 1 Sauté onion and bell pepper for about 2 minutes.

  • Writing and Sexual Politics: What’S Love Got to Do with It? | ENGL 1105
    Writing and Sexual Politics: what’s love got to do with it? | ENGL 1105 Goldwin Smith Hall 283 | MWF 1:25pm to 2:15pm Katie Thorsteinson | [email protected] Office hours by appointment “My God, Help Me to Survive This Deadly Love” (1990) might be the most famous graffiti painting that appears in Berlin’s East Side Gallery— a nearly mile-long stretch of the remaining Berlin Wall. The kiss may seem like satire, but artist Dmitri Vrubel simply replicated a 1979 photograph of Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev and East German President Erich Honecker which was taken in honor of the thirtieth anniversary of the German Democratic Republic–East Germany. Fraternal kisses among socialist leaders were not unusual, even if these dictators seem slightly more enthusiastic than most. While graffiti totally covered the West side wall throughout its three-decade existence, the East side was forbidden from access and thus left entirely blank. After the Berlin Wall’s fall in 1989 signaled an end to the Cold War, Vrubel painted this graffiti on the East side to celebrate German reunification and taunt the old communist order. His was only one among hundreds of paintings to appear on the East Side Gallery during that period, but something about the kiss has infatuated people around the world and it continues to signify politically today— sometimes to ironize the nepotism of government officials, or to emasculate political leaders, and now even to fight for LGBTQ rights. The image is, indeed, both true to life and open to interpretation. On the one hand, it is a reminder that power often functions through love.
