Follow-up

The Fulbright Commission asks us to share our experiences when we return home, and I have been very happy to do that. I have warned friends and family that my five months in Bratislava was a major life experience - and I expect to be talking about it for the rest of my life. I also love showing people some of the thousands of digital photographs I took.

My home College of Liberal Arts at CSULB posted some of my pictures from my stay in Bratislava: http://www.csulb.edu/colleges/cla/

I gave a talk at the Women's Business Council luncheon meeting of the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce on February 21, 2008.

I also gave a talk for the CSULB International Education program on February 27, 2008. The publicity photo they distributed on campus included one of my favorite photographs, the view from my flat. I'm also using that photo as the new background on my laptop, which means that my CSULB students see it at every class when I get set up to show PowerPoint.

I submitted a lengthy review of the fall 2007 season of the Slovak National Ballet for publication later this spring in [Washington] DanceView. They sent me oodles of great press photos. Here's one of my favorites, the "Dancing Marilyn's" from their new ballet Warhol.

Now I'm working on more essays and articles about my experiences and will announce those later as they are completed.
