Peru

More great blogs from around the world today!  First, let’s take a look into what’s going on in Chile – E a Rt H qU aK e – The Good The Bad and The Ugly.

And now let’s talk about houses.  First, there’s the joy of House-hunting in Congo.  Do you think this house will do?

And after you’ve found a house, there’s work to be done – here’s a video: An Update on our House in Mexico.  Oh, and just for fun – the installation of a shower curtain in Rwanda.

A good reminder out of Peru – Safety Zone.

Finally, how about some kids – birthdays (Ecuador), life in Niger, and kids hanging out at the house (Romania).

So the holiday season is winding down in most parts of the world.  But there’s still time to take a look at some experiences from missionaries around the world, including their thoughts on culture.

For example, let’s take a look at some Christmas traditions in Italy in Getting Our Winter Holidays Straight or Saint Nicholas, Babbo Natale, and Befana the Christmas Witch.

In a more general tour of cultural suprises, check out THINGS I DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT LIVING IN PERU

Just a little video to show you what the weather is like in Kyiv, Ukraine.  And how about Christmas Is Coming To Kyiv

All right, it’s not cold everywhere of course.  Check out The Paraná River, a Gift from God from Paraguay.

And since this site is all about connecting via the internet, I can’t resist this post from VenezuelaVirtual Friends.

Finally, just a simple reminder to make those connections with people around the world and people passing you on the street – you know, the Crowds (Moldova).
