The Belle Tuul's in America

A special bitter-sweet goodbye and good luck to our dear friend, Tuul Sukhbaatar. She worked as a translator for GTZ a German NGO. Tuul has just left the country for graduate school at Antioch in New Hampshire.







We love you Tuul! Good luck! Now you’re an authentic cool “east coast” girl, for sure!

Leslie! Nathan! Hello from a random PC couple in Romania. We just swore in as volunteers last week and are getting settled in to our site. I found y'all because I happened to check in at http://www.voices.no. I (Veronica) am a music therapist -- I got my Masters at Lesley University. I'm completely excited that PC has placed me at a center where I can use my music therapy skills. I'd love to hear your experiences combining PC work and work as a music therapist. Plus any advice/stories you have about being a married couple in PC, please send our direction. Best of luck! And yay for PC and music therapy connections!

Hi Leslie and Nathan,

I found your blog about Mongolia, and I wanted to contact you. I’m an associate producer working on a Travel Channel show called “Andrew Zimmern’s Bizarre World”. We’re going to be in Mongolia next month and I’d like to brainstorm some story ideas with you. I’m looking for one more story to feature on the show.



Although the word ‘bizarre’ can be misleading, the intent of the show is to look for customs, traditions, lifestyles, landscapes, etc. that our audience would find unexpected and unusual. The program is designed to educate our audience about other cultures, to help make the unexpected a little more familiar and understandable. The people and cultures featured in our programs are always treated with respect and understanding and are portrayed in a positive light.





More info about our show:

http://www.travelchannel.com/TV_Shows/Bizarre_World

The name of our program is “Andrew Zimmern’s Bizarre World” and airs on the Travel Channel. It is a spin-off of our “Bizarre Foods” show, which is one of the most watched shows on the network.



When researching a country, we look for all the most unusual cultural aspects. It could be anything: food, sports, festivals, traditions, religions, art, music, dance, rituals, homes, jobs, etc. As long as it could be considered “bizarre” to someone else in the world, we want to find it! The best stories are the ones where our host, Andrew, can participate in what’s going on.



I'm writing to see if you have any suggestions for cultural aspects that we could feature on our show. I would love to hear any suggestions you have.



I’m also happy to give you a call if that’s easier for you.



Thanks,

Sarah
