ReplyDeleteHi! I came across your blog via the URL you provided when you commented at my PoDW website. (Didn't you used to post at the once-upon-a-time messageboard, too? I definitely remember your very unique screen name.) Anyway, your blog is fascinating! Your work and writings are really intriguing, and I admire that you had the courage to jump headfirst into such amazing field work that brought you so far from home like this. I'm really looking forward to reading more!

ReplyDeleteThanks for noticing!
PoDW? Noi jitat!
