Boy are my arms tired

by on August 9th, 2007

I just flew back from Papua New Guinea, so after a long summer off I am now finally back and plan to be blogging regularly. Going back to my field site after years and years away was really really great — life affirming even. Over the next couple of days I’ll try to gather some of the things I learned this time around into a couple of blog posts. Hopefully they’ll be interesting to people who have yet to do fieldwork (who might learn something) and to people who have been doing fieldwork for years (who can have a good laugh and my slowly-evaporating naivete).
