from the low of our trusty digital camera lighting its last flash bulb in Paris, to the glorious arrival of its replacement: the Olympus SP-550 Ultra-Zoom. This attractive piece of glass and circuitry has all the features a travelling ex-pat could want in a surprisingly light case. With 18X optical zoom, we don’t even have to go anywhere anymore--we can just go up on a nearby hill and take pretty good shots of Mayan pyramids. So, if you see any future pics that look incredibly perilous—be cool—we were chilling miles away when we took that shot. This baby can store 1200 pictures on a single card, takes video, and even has a super-fast 15 frames-per-second bust mode to catch the typical “whale breaching” shot during fast action. It has a fully-manual mode too that I am learning so you can adjust “The big 3”: shutter-speed, aperture, and ISO to get the best exposure. In summary, look for sharper, professionaler, colourfuler, expensiver-looking travel pictures here from now on! -Lauren (Ok, ok, you got me: it’s really Nick)

REDICULOUS.
You guys are hilarious!!!!! Keep it coming. Love, Jan
nice blog, I am Peace Corps serving in the Caribbean and my UK girlfriend is trying to talk me into moving there after me service. You guys seem positive which is good, it seems the major perk is the travel possibilites being close to rest of Europe. One question, as an American working their do you feel in the workforce your treated equally, have the same chance for promotion. I guess that is my main concern besides being able to actually buy a home at some point.
