Hey Charmee! I know this comment is overdue but I cannot believe your experience in London has already ended! I hope it was everything you hoped for it to be and that you made the most out of everything. I agree with you that is seems just yesterday we were all pursuing our study abroad dreams by applying, and now they are coming to an end! It really seems unreal. Have a fabulous summer and year next year at Penn State!

Comment on "10 Day Trip Through Europe"

Thu, 16 May 2013 09:36:38 -0500

Hey Kelly!

Your recent travels in April looked like they were very memorable and dually emotional. You really traveled to very historic places and monuments in history. I do not know if I would be able to emotionally handle all those, such as the Jewish memorial in Berlin or the concentration camp. I hope you are continuing to have a great semester!

Comment on "London Calling"

Thu, 16 May 2013 09:34:22 -0500

Hey devon! I was excited to see you went to London because I was just recently there as well and had a fabulous time! Especially at Abbey Road, that was so fun for me to get a Beatles picture as well. I unfortunately did not get to experience the market like you did! I wish I would have known about it because it sounded like something I would have liked. I hope you are continuing to have a great semester!!

Thu, 16 May 2013 09:30:50 -0500

Hey Mike! I hope St. Petersburg and Russia is treating you well. This museum definitely looks like the Louvre but obviously has its own flavor it seems. I hope this semester has been everything you wanted it to be! Take care- Stephanie

Comment on "The Adjustment Period"

Thu, 16 May 2013 08:53:20 -0500

Hey Emma!

I am having fun getting caught up with your blog. I can TOTALLY understand the wifi frustration because it is the exact same with me, you are not alone. I think it is really great you have sorted out what you do and do not feel you can ever adjust to. That is a quality and realization that a lot of people will not admit to, and I am glad this experience has been beneficial for you in that aspect. Your last paragraph of overall journeys sound awesome! I am jealous and I hope you had a fabulous time in Portugal! Can't wait to hear about it. - Stephanie

Comment on "Mala beads and Tsampa"

Thu, 16 May 2013 08:48:04 -0500

Hey Jason!

The experienec in Tibet sounds awesome and life changing. I actually took a Buddhism class in Ireland this semester and we learned a lot of Tibet and the culture and chaos currently residing in areas like that. It really is amazing to learn about the East and now you have up frontly experience the culture first hand. I hope it has been an awesome semester for you and that it continues to be meaningful! I enjoyed getting caught up on your blogs. - Stephanie

Hey Stephanie! I am getting caught up with your blog and was excited to see that you traveled to Ireland and had you family come visited! I enjoyed reading about the differences in the people and culture you noticed and I hope you had a fun time.

I'm glad you seem to have had a great time (:
I went there in February too.
Did you try the butter beer? Somebody told me I could get it there AFTER I came home. I'm counting on the Wizarding World in Florida for butter beer now haha.

Comment on "Lhasa, place of the Gods"

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 16:35:36 -0500

How exciting!

Tibet has always been on my bucket list for YEARS and I have never got around to visit yet (even though I live in Shanghai where a Shanghai-to-Lhasa railway opened a couple of years ago).

With the altitude, harsh sunlight (you know how much Chinese folks hate sunlight!) and the stoic, Buddhist culture that prevails everyday life, Tibet sounds like a challenging place to go and is certainly not for the faint-hearted!

I might actually have to wait for a number of years because my boyfriend is interested in visiting but he always nags about not having enough money to go outside of the States anytime soon, haha.

I look forward to seeing pictures and reading about your adventures!
Beware of mountain/altitude sickness!

Comment on "10 Day Trip Through Europe"

Magnificent photos!

I'm glad you got to visit these historic places, especially Auschwitz.
While they may not necessarily be places to prance around taking comical pictures, but they are important reminders to ALL human beings not to make the same mistakes ever again. I would like to visit someday too.

I've never heard of Bone Chapel but it seems really cool (more like chilling, haha). It looks eerie but very beautiful in the photo.

Do you have plans to go elsewhere?

Comment on "Bollywood fun at Alchemy"

Fri, 19 Apr 2013 09:40:24 -0500

We were just extras but it was super fun to learn some edgy choreography!
Yes, I know that East London has this BanglaCity - an area with residents of mostly Bangladeshi descent. There are lots of street art, vintage shops and places to enjoy South Asian cuisines there.

Sounds like you had a lot of fun at the Bollywood dance event.
Also really cool that you're going to be in a movie!
Have you found that there is a large South Asian population in London?
