I’m currently studying naming practices in 7 countries on a Watson Fellowship. I’m curious how names are defined both by the individuals who bear them and their cultural and historical contexts. The process of naming a child is shaped by considerations that include religious traditions, government restrictions, family history, and cultural icons. I'm interested in how names act as microcosms for societal questions of identity on an international scale.

White Sand Beach
Can you believe I'd been in Bali for five weeks without going to the beach?
I can't either.
Your last photo of the beach is beautiful! The shot's perfect. It may have dark sands, but the photo shows that the beach is so clean and the water is crystal clear. =)
I definitely think this is worth a repeat. Soon.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous beach and yummy crepe- is it a banana crepe?
ReplyDeleteKind of...they call them banana pancakes here and the banana slices actually go into the batter once it's in the frying pan.
ReplyDeleteSounds as though Bali and its 'no plan' approach to life was the perfect place to begin your Watson fellowship.
