- Last Week in BrightonA.R. finally arrived in Brighton and my arms last Saturday. It's been so good to be reunited after three months. In some ways time has gone by absurdly quickly but in other ways I was desperate to show her everything. Posted by broden in an ocean apart | Jul 30, 2010
- Before I forget…Since the true intent of this blog is to write about my experiences, I have to put one down on paper that I really don’t want to escape into the deep abyss that is my memory. Do you remember a Posted by keoco1 in Where in the world is Kerryn O'Connor | Jul 30, 2010

- And so begins Part Two of our adventure...Schools out! This last week was pretty crazy what with presentations, recitations, papers, and finals, but we're done! It was pretty sad saying goodbye to our teachers though. We all felt a lot closer with them than Posted by laporlier in Lindsay vs Europe | Jul 29, 2010
- Post 6 - One month done!!So I have been in China for a month already! I am sad that the days are going by so fast! It already seems like such a long time has gone, but thankfully I still have 4 months left!

- Kids and their bikesWell, I was only just writing about reaching the halfway mark and now it seems I am almost already two thirds through.
In a way it is a blessing, but I also feel like I haven't done enough. I need to Posted by The Doctor in Dutch Microwave | Jul 28, 2010
- Between staying and leavingIn exactly one week, I'll be flying back home. Right now, I'm torn between counting down the days and wanting to delay the departure. I know I'm making the right decision to leave now. I'm feeling happier now than Posted by Evil1 in My year in China | Jul 28, 2010
- Foshan FootworkRain fell lazily, washing away the feeble sunshine and any expectation of a dry Foshan outing. Huddled beneath our shared umbrella, Jake and I dodged haphazard puddles and the weaving paths of poncho-clad scooter drivers. We'd set out to find Posted by rovingduo in Roving Duo | Jul 28, 2010

- In the land of China, they don't go to Church on Sunday.In case you couldn't guess, we watched (or rather, started) Forrest Gump this morning. We also had a test (I got a 96) and went through a couple more lessons in our books. Chu was our teacher for the day, Posted by MAx1992 in China 中国 2010 | Jul 27, 2010
- Ta es ein... No, that's wrong.In explanation of the title, that is a sentence that came out of my mouth while explaining something to my host sister. "Ta" means "he" in Chinese, "es" means "is" in Spanish, and "ein" means "a" in German. I don't Posted by MAx1992 in China 中国 2010 | Jul 26, 2010

- Drink[able]It was our first full day in Foshan, and we had set out on our first mission: locate the supermarket. The roasting 95-degree air hit us as we stepped from our air conditioned sanctuary. Another humid day in southern China.

- What I won't missIt's always best to start with the bad news, so here's, in no particular order, a (non-exhaustive) list of what I won't miss here in China:
1. Crazy traffic. Cross the street at your own risk here! You ought to Posted by Evil1 in My year in China | Jul 25, 2010
- Wuzhen and HangzhouI have to start with the language bonus: I found out what Tiananmen means today. It literally translates to "Heaven Safe Door." I couldn't help but laugh at the irony.

- Soy Estudiante y TuristaI've finished my first full week and my first week of classes! Classes is kind of a loose term. We have 2-3 hours of lecture, a 1-hour discussion, and then go explore the city after lunch. I have technically had Posted by akatodd in Santiago, Que Me Ames. | Jul 25, 2010

So yeah, I've taken over 1000 pictures so far in my three weeks here. I don't really know how I could've taken so much either. But my Facebook will crash for sure trying to upload these when Posted by jennhuynh in 我的夏天在中国 | Jul 25, 2010

- Scotland in Pictures (Round Two)A. and I have been getting along well considering the 24/7 quality of this excursion. We have settled into standard road trip patterns: I navigate, plugging in gps coordinates and double checking on the map when we are led Posted by broden in an ocean apart | Jul 24, 2010
- Decompressing at Lake TaupoDespite being veteran movers, moving is still always hard. Moving to another county is harder. Everything is new and has to be figured out. So many things to deal with: customs, MAF checking boxes for bio-security (Did you say Christmas Posted by Hilary G in Adventures in NZ! | Jul 23, 2010
- 包子Last night was relatively uneventful, but after dinner, Cynthia and I walked over to the bakery together to get breakfast for this morning (which was delicious, by the way). I can't remember if I've talked about the bakery yet, but Posted by MAx1992 in China 中国 2010 | Jul 22, 2010
