Preparing for Adventure!

Welcome to the official blog for the 2008 Carolina Southeast Asia Sumer (SEAS) program participants. We will be updating the site every week with the latest news, stories, and pictures from our studies and travel in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. The first posts from Singapore should be up within the first week of the trip, so please check back soon for some real news.

It is hard to believe that in only 4 days we will all be packed up, saying goodbye to family and friends, and heading to Asia for most of the summer. For some members of the group it is their first time on a plane or out of the country, and I think for all of us the 16 hour flight from NY to Hong Kong seems a bit daunting. The program should prove to be quite an exciting and intellectually stimulating first experience for many of us on the other side of the world, quite literally. For now it's time to get back to packing and saying goodbye's. Please check back soon for more updates, and we would love to recieve your comments on this page as we go.

Thanks,
SEAS Participants
