Once upon a time I let folks know I’d “finagled” a discount for them. After one reader told me the word “finagle” means “to obtain something by devious or dishonest means,” I sent an apologetic “Ruh Roh” email. I received a lot of forgiving (thank you!) feedback. Many kindly supported my initial use of the word “finagle.” Apparently, there is more than one definition of finagle.

Do you remember that huge wooden horse that the Greeks left outside the gates of Troy during the Trojan War? If not, here’s a refresher: The Greeks and the Trojans were fighting a bitter war. The Greeks pretended to withdraw and sail away from Troy, leaving an enormous wooden horse behind. And the Trojans, thinking this was a sign they had won the war, pulled the horse into their city and celebrated, not suspecting that a select force of Greek soldiers was hiding inside.

Hello! This is my third blog post. So far, the biggest structural inequality that I have noticed that seems to be very normal in Japan is the work culture.

Hello! It’s been a while since I’ve last updated, but as of right now, I am currently well into my study abroad experience at FSU London! Over the past few weeks, I’ve explored the city, researched London’s environmental regulations, and adapted to city life- which is definitely much different than my farming experience.

So far I have not run into as many structural inequalities as differences. My community is very small and tight-knit, lessening the presence of structural inequalities. However, I will say that more than the pandemic, access to the internet seems to have created the most differences. The question of how much internet we are consuming is popular amongst everyone in the world right now, and I tend to ask this question in regard to my community.
