Something to Watch
I am addicted to the Travel Channel, I love it! Well, tonight I watched two episodes in a row of the new series called Moms on the Road: Africa. I think anyone who has access to the Travel Channel should look this show up and watch it. It is about I think eight American women who are moms who come from different areas and backgrounds and go to Africa. They are going to be in like four different countries in six weeks and they all come with different preconceived notions, expectations, etc. The social work part of me just is like this is awesome! It has these women who are so different with such different lives and about what they bring with them from home to the experience, what happens in Africa and how that is all effected by what they brought to the table before it even started, the relationships between the women. They were in Cape Town South Africa the two episodes I saw and like one day they pretty much buid from scratch a play room at like an orphanage type of situation in a very poor are and then they go to the 5-Star hotel on the water for the next two days and the feelings and what goes on. There is one lady, named Pat, the oldest one there that happens to be an African-American woman who I think is the neatest lady. She is grounded, she has done her research about the Africa and the countries before she went, she looks like a great social worker to me on all aspects and just has that sage aurora about her. Then there is another lady married for fifteen years and announces on the trip that she is leaving her husband because she is gay, and then some of the other women are like "Yeah, Good for you!" Wait a second. . . I can support her decision and try to understand, but really applause and shouts of joy I don't know if I could do that. There are other consequences there does she not see them? Hello! Anyway. . .everyone if you have access watch an episode!
By the way, I am leaving for Korea on Saturday now officially since I have a plane ticket! Yeah for me, and I'll have an eight hour delay in Chicago, but oh well what can you do. I'll arrive in Korea at 5AM Monday morning, which is 3PM Sunday Kansas time.
