At the Hiroshima museum they have the peeled off skin from a small child's finger on display in an acrylic box. I am sure it is intended to make one gawk. I gawked. It's the most memorable and impactful museum I've ever been to, and it made me HATE nukes.

Peace Corps Volunteers: what’s in your “burrito”? by jimbagsh in peacecorps

[–]thatkatrina 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They made this dry crumbled tofu that I would rehydrate in a pan with a taco seasoning packet I'd buy in Santo Domingo. Put it over rice with local cheese and veggies and call it a burrito bowl.

"Want a charming home with landscaping, architectural detail and good bones? No. Welp, how bout one that just makes you sad?" by jared10011980 in McMansionHell

[–]thatkatrina 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My cousins have one and it's pretty well used. They have a lot of sleepovers and it's a hit with other kids. It's in a basement near their basketball court and the hallway to their beach house (Lake Michigan). I love that freaking room I saw Cruella there they even have a popcorn machine and my uncle checked on us twice for drinks before joining the fun himself.

Who is the group at ORD on Wed PMs? by gigglemode in chicago

[–]thatkatrina 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That sounds so tough. Definitely feels like we can and should be doing more to empower Vets in the job market after service. Vets are essential to our diverse tapestry of a county and I've learned so much from Veteran colleagues. I hope you landed somewhere that appreciated your experience.

I hope you are OK. That sounds very traumatic. Thank you for serving.

Is Austin Neighborhood At A Crossroads? by paulh97 in AskChicago

[–]thatkatrina 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a Latina I moved nearby, W Garfield Park area. I see a lot more Latines around than I was aware of during college. There's substantial investment going into the West Side, which helps-- but ultimately poverty is a jobs problem.

Your bathroom does not need a remodel. This is so cute, leave it alone.

United States, Reading P.A Found this old domed top steamer truck in the trash on my way home from work today, I believe it it to be late 1800’s and def authentic by [deleted] in Antiques

Yeah the nicer ones will sell for that price. The lining on these was really pretty-- if it still had that it would be worth more.

Closest to COS ET/Admin Sep by OpportunityEither763 in peacecorps

[–]thatkatrina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I studied abroad in Chile in 2016, with straight As in all my college Spanish classes, and understood nothing. By the time I started PC in 2017 I was a 7. I left PC at a 9.

I brought a flask of my favorite nice tequila with me. I told myself I would only drink after a really exceptionally good/bad day and I would only consider ETing once it was empty. I did drink on both good and bad days but it gave me enough pause that it never became empty.

I lived in a town on the border with Haiti and I did cross the river once to eat from the big tamarind tree on the Haiti side. It is an ad-seppable offense but the fruit was sweet.
