Fieldwork has been filled with hard work, smiles, arguments, and even some tears here and there. But it has been a very given experience. And even though it has been some hard periods while in the field, it has only made the whole period worth really working hard for. We all learned alot and I
I have to admit, as frustrating this fieldwork for development studies can get sometimes, I cant get over the fact that it is getting more and more interesting! The last week has been full of information, and it really is fun to see how everything adds up to the literature, and everything that does not. This
The fieldwork has ‘finally’ started and development students are now placed in their fields. Me and three other classmates have made it to Esteli and our research has begun. Esteli is a really nice city with a weather of cold breeze. The city is filled with culture and is known for its painted walls. It
Time is flying too fast! The third week is already over and we are leaving for our research work this weekend. Some are leaving tomorrow while other on Sunday. We are going to be out in our field for about three weeks. I am going to Esteli, which is the third largest city in Nicaragua.

Hola mi amiga! Studieperioden i León er over, og vi har beveget oss sørover. Jeg kan virkelig ikke tro at ukene i Nicaragua er bak oss allerede, tiden har gått ufattelig fort. Heldigvis sitter jeg kun igjen med gode stunder, som jeg deler med gamle og nye venner. Feltperioden vår i Lagartillo er noe jeg
For et par uker siden fikk jeg besøk av mamma, pappa og lillesøster, veldig hyggelig å se de igjen og få muligheten til å vise de den Nicaraguanske verden vi lever i! Er det en ting en må oppleve i dette latin-amerikanske landet, så er det en vulkantur. Vi valgte å reise til Telica, den
