Happy Amay makes me happy 😊 And a small addition of small Elar because he is very cute.

Basically there are quite a few players in this campaign, so we decided to devide into two groups.

ELAR blog has featured a post full of advice for the budding linguistic fieldworker. There’s lots of great advice from thoughtful and seasoned fieldworkers.

I was delighted to have the opportunity to share some of my favorite advice:

Fieldwork can be exhausting, trying to think of a hundred things while you navigate a culture, environment, and cuisine that can be very different from what you’re used to. I always make sure I have a support of comfort TV and silly novels. I don’t know anymore how I did fieldwork before getting an e-book reader, it’s been more than worth it’s (lack of) weight.

I take a bit of a prepare-for-anything and expect-nothing approach to fieldwork – building up relationships with people is really what you’re there for, and that’s so hard to predict. Also, take three times more photographs than you think you’ll want. I always wish I had more photographs.

OH NO! Amay got shot!

But don't worry, she healed herself back up to full health, she can autoheal when healing others :) A bit of context, we got into an altercation where a group of terrorists disguised themselves has guards but we caught them, but just at the start of the fight practically everyone tried to shot Amay first xD
