| 26th January 2006 Jill | didn't mean to by anonymous - From: The Electronic Daughter if you didn't guess, the xanax, goen, disco diva comment was me. still miss you much. but, if you didn't hear the news, i am taking your bed in mexico. and i am practicing my spanish....donde esta la zapataria? te quiero mas vino rojo, por favor (-: |
| 25th January 2006 Robin | Be in your area soon - From: The Electronic Daughter Hi Erica, it looks like I will be somewhat near you (Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur) the week of Feb 27th. Not definate yet but that's the way it looks right now. You can always SMS Kim's and my phones! |
| 25th January 2006 anonymous | Directions to Aceh from NYC - From: The Electronic Daughter Wow, that kind of journey requires the x-large size xanax (maybe two)! Oh, I can't help but notice that Goen is working a pretty cute smile (-: And you look great, disco diva, even in electronic form. Miss you much. |
| 25th January 2006 egipsey | 35 hrs...3hrs - From: The Electronic Daughter Hi Steve, I'm on a dial-up connection. My guess is the govt. regulations prohibit other carriers from coming in. SoCo (is that the NY'er term for SC?) may not be as far as Aceh, but wherever you are, if you have to get on a plane to get home, it feels far. no matter if it's 3 hrs or 35 hrs. |
| 24th January 2006 Kathie | Phone Call - From: The Electronic Daughter I wish I could take that 35 hour flight to ride an elephant with you :) But I am thankful that we were able to talk. You are always in my thoughts! |
| 24th January 2006 Cousin S | - From: The Electronic Daughter And I thought I was disconnected living in SoCo! Good to hear they're going with the CB radio - old technology, but basic, not too easy to break. Just need to put those tall antennae towers to work, install a couple repeaters. Is your Internet via a dialup connection or something else? Love - S,C,J,N,&C |
| 24th January 2006 mom | italian sunday dinner? - From: The Electronic Daughter hmmn where's the wine,pasta and connoli's? just kidding , but i bet not every one was trying to talk at the same time. |
| 22nd January 2006 Lauren McLaughlin | Most excellent do! - From: Haircut for Humanity I like it short. Tres sophisticated. |
| 16th January 2006 Andrew J | Digging the Blog! - From: The NGO Apprentice Hey Erica, Thanks for doing such a great blog! I have not seen a better answer the perennial question of “So, what exactly do you aid workers do?” than this entry. I know that someday you will find fresh brewed decaffeinated coffee. Although I can’t be of much help since I am devoted to the turbo-caffeinated beans of Africa! Best, Andrew |
| 15th January 2006 mom | next time look at the floor - From: Haircut for Humanity when you notice people stare they know not, you lost a foot of hair you see, it's because you shine long hair or short, your simly devine |
| 14th January 2006 Jill | Saving the World, one hair at a time. - From: Haircut for Humanity Whatever you do, for pete's sake, don't get anything waxed! |
| 14th January 2006 Kathie | - From: Haircut for Humanity Thanks for another great entry. I love hearing about daily life in Aceh. You look beautiful as always, my friend! PS I had my hair cut this week as well and guess what? It has been confirmed that I have a few white strands... |

| 13th January 2006 Susan Caccivio | Checking in - From: Ground Zero Times 100 Erica, Love seeing you pic's. Looks like your having a great time! Sounds like you were a real Martha Stewart over the holidays! My charity just started working with IRC in Boston helping Somali Bantu refugees settling in the North Shore. Your with a great Organization! I'll get Gloria over to check you out and send a word! Love, Jim, Susan & Kids! |
| 13th January 2006 Auntie Ginny, | hair cut - From: Haircut for Humanity Erica, I think all hairdressers are the same all over the world. I have never been to a salon where the hairdresser understands cut one inch. However you look fantastic with your new hair cut. |
| 12th January 2006 Lauren | Fishbones - From: Top New Inventions in Banda Aceh Whenever Andrew grills a particularly bony fish, like mackerel, we eat it with chopsticks because it's easier to pick the meat off the bone. It slides right off. Yum. Love the photos. Tres Glamorous. |
| 12th January 2006 Lisa | Bathing in the barrel - From: Top New Inventions in Banda Aceh Hola! I'm so glad to see a picture of the "barrel". I couldn't stop laughing after talking to you the other day...I was picturing you like a cartoon character dipping yourself in and out of the "barrel" for your daily bathing routine! The pictures are fab - it is great to actual see how you are living! Miss you. Love, L |
| 10th January 2006 Greg | Blog of the Moment - From: Top New Inventions in Banda Aceh Hi Erica, Love your stuff. I just made you blog of the moment on my Asia for Visitors site http://goasia.about.com. The iste is part of the NY Times company. Keep up the good work (both on the blog and on the ground). Greg |

| 9th January 2006 linda | - From: Top New Inventions in Banda Aceh "pumpkin's grandma" could filet a fish properly!i think it's practice makes perfect though. a sharp filet knife is helpful.ck out food network.com.: ) |
| 8th January 2006 Lauren McLaughlin | Thanks for the 411 - From: The NGO Apprentice A ha. I knew what your job entailed vaguely. Thanks for the details. Sounds like it's going well there. But my word, what a big expansion in manpower your organization had all of a sudden. That can't be easy to manage. |
| 7th January 2006 dad | about time - From: The NGO Apprentice It appears that you are getting a handle on the job and that you are using all the skills learned to date and are learning new ones, great. It appears that you have in your boss, someone that you can aid you in your job. I'm still going to the gym, but took time out, 2 weeks, for Christmas and when I went back to the gym I gained 7 pounds. There is something wrong with this. We all missed you during the holidays, but you were in our thoughts. Lots of love, dad |
| 7th January 2006 linda depiero | for Muhammad Thalal - From: Ground Zero Times 100 thank you for your informative comment. Real gold or not you both look wonderful and your bride is very beautiful. i send you congratulations and wishes for a happy life together. |
| 6th January 2006 Ann-Kristin. | - From: The NGO Apprentice Hey lady, Senid sent me the link (naturally...) to your site - it is so great and fun. I promise when I get back from my Africa trip I will chat with you from home - that is when I will get a cable installed at home, and we can Skype. You look healthy despite the Acehnese staple! I miss you here - the office is not the same. Take care, AK. |
| 6th January 2006 Thalal Aceh | No class distiction at all - From: Ground Zero Times 100 Hahaha..truly there was no true gold on the bride. We just use imitation golds which can be found easily and very-very cheap at the local market. All Acehnese(except people in six districts) use this kind of clothes for the wedding. Aceh Province consists of around eight ethnics which have different languages and cultures. I am a part of the biggest ethnic living which dominates Aceh Besar, Banda Aceh, the North Coast except a part of east Aceh, and along the west coast except half of south Aceh. People live in Simeulue island, Central Aceh, and districts in South-East Aceh really have their own cultures and languages. |

| 4th January 2006 Kathie | Happy New Year! - From: The Fun Police Issue a Warning Your description of the bungalow bathroom reminded me of the POC :) I hope that you had a great weekend away. It is 25 degrees here in NH. So the warm sun and surf sounds so wonderful!! |

| 31st December 2005 Lauren McLaughlin | - From: Ground Zero Times 100 Hey Erica! I can't believe you've had a blog all this time and I didn't know. Thanks so much for starting it so I can follow your fascinating experiences there. What a poignant picture of tragedy and triumph you've painted so far. I'll be sure to check in regularly and blog you in my next entry of Liquid Logic. Keep up the good work, darling. |
| 29th December 2005 Melissa | look what you started - From: The Fun Police Issue a Warning so does this official letter announcement have anything to do with the parties that you have been rumored to be throwing down there? some crazy thanksgiving feast, and Christmas shing-ding, etc.? I think the beach sounds like a perfect spot. Maybe you can try to get the suite this time with the king size feather bed. :) have fun! |
| 27th December 2005 egipsey | No hook-ups happening at this wedding - From: Ground Zero Times 100 i'm still sketchy on the details of weddings/marriages here. this is actually the third ceremony this couple has had - the entire village came to this party..about 300 people. all guests eat/socialize separately (men from women). it was a very colorful and interesting event to attend. all the locals, women especially, were so welcoming and warm to me. |
| 27th December 2005 egipsey | if it sheds like a xmas tree, it must be - From: "Island of Misfits" Christmas Party i knew you would correct me on the type of tree. yes, i guess it's not a palm. it's shedding all over my damn floor though, just like a real xmas tree...it's going back in the courtyard tomorrow! |
| 27th December 2005 r.depiero@comcast.net | bridal gown - From: Ground Zero Times 100 is that gold on the bride? if so does that signify a class distinction? very beautiful |
| 21st December 2005 r.depiero@comcast.net | "palm tree" - From: "Island of Misfits" Christmas Party actually your christmass tree makes charlie brown's tree look like the tree at the white house. but it is a very "sweet" tree and the decorations are very very nice. actually i think it's a scheferlera (not sure of the spelling) plant. |
| 13th December 2005 linda | - From: Barefoot (and smoking) in the Kitchen more pictures please use that camera xo |
| 13th December 2005 Ron | Enjoy your blogs! - From: Barefoot (and smoking) in the Kitchen How long will you be there..for study? for work? Can you write about your work? I have a need to go to Aceh for a short time,(from California), but I can't express why..? Look forward to your posts. |
| 12th December 2005 Robin | Four Score - From: Rumble in the Jungle A Score is 20 years so four score would be 80 plus 7 would be 87 years. Hope you are having fun and staying cool! |
