Dr. Kim
October 4, 2006

I went to see an acupuncturist yesterday, Dr. Kim Ok Gwan. I had been hearing about him for a couple of years. Many people I know have gone to him and had remarkable results.

June 14, 2006

Today I want to chat for a second about safety. Always a boring subject, I know. But it’s important. I have to say that it’s very easy to forget about the reality of certain situations here in Costa Rica at times, being that much of the country is “modernized.” That is to say that we’re not all living in the jungle.

My First Podcast
April 20, 2006

I’m happy to say I’ve published my first podcast. It’s short and sweet. Still not a lot of bells and whistles, as I’m still learning what I’m doing. I’ll get “fancy” later. Brief intro and comments about an anti-Costa Rica article.
