where i live and work
June 10th, 2009
These are the dorms, where they moved me after my apartment in town was broken into. Lots of scientists live here, from all over the world.
This is where I sleep
This is Menglun, the town across the river from the gardens where I eat every meal and go to buy things. It’s small, but not too small.
I walk across this bridge to go from the gardens to eat in Menglun. There is a cafeteria at the gardens, but it’s expensive and bad.
A view from the bridge…
The gardens
I climbed that mountain in the distance on Saturday, where I caught a bamboo viper.
These are the labs, one of many giant buildings the Chinese government has built inside the botanical gardens. I spend a lot of time on the roof, where I have a bunch of tadpoles in buckets to take care of.
On the roof, Jocelyn taking care of the tadpoles…
Tadpoles!
These are artificial breeding spots where we want frogs to breed. A lot of the time I’ll be walking around the gardens looking in them to see if there are eggs or tadpoles. So far we haven’t found anything.

i had this kick ass picture of it striking at the camera, ready to kill me… but i put them off the camera and onto my computer the night of the break in, so the pictures got stolen too!!!

aw! :(
I think the most upsetting thing about my entire Costa Rica trip was losing half my trip’s pictures with one wrong push of a button. So sad.

JK. please don’t. You’ll die.
