Week 7 or 8 posts due March 29

As I was gone the majority of last week with an English convention, I thought I would give you all a short respite from blogging/posting. Sorry if the absence of the post caused you any stress. For this week, you may post something from your reading from either last week or this week, but only need to do one post and one comment as usual. Please do not feel that you need to post twice in order to make up for last week. I hope you all are not only enjoying your reading, but also looking forward to the journey ahead. When you have time, check out this short documentary about the people and culture of the Yunnan province in Southwestern China. While we will not be visiting this area, the documentary will help you to realize that China is a much more diverse nation than many at first suppose: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r9nHrGten8.

Week 6 Posts Due March 15

I hope all of you enjoyed a bit of time away from school this past week. As the end of the semester continues to press closer, I urge all of you to make sure to keep up with your reading, and to consider beginning some of your assignments following the guidelines in the syllabus if you have time. And don't forget to get your immunizations and travel documents in order! It's been fun to read and follow your posts and see how all of you have been interacting with one another. Keep up the great work :)
