Southern hemisphere programs like Jill’s at The University of Otago in New Zealand started in July and Jill has been having one adventure after another!

In one of her posts she writes; “Last weekend I went on my first trip to the Southern Alps – New Zealand’s South Island mountain range. True to its name, this region may have been taken straight out of Switzerland– picture the Matterhorn (real life or Disneyland version, for you Californians) – and it’s a very accurate comparison.”

Rachel’s blog: Mendoza, Argentina

Rachel is blogging from Mendoza, Argentina this fall semester.

Here is an excerpt from one of her recent posts.

“Sundays are big family days in Mendoza. It involves big family reunions, a lot of food, and a full day of Spanish practice for me. Today 18 people came over for lunch. I woke up this morning to Carlina preparing for the big meal, and together we tried to fit a second table into the dining room through a doorway that was probably four inches too narrow to fit the table. We had to give up after taking it all apart and realizing that the frame of the table still wouldn’t fit. Instead we fit 18 people around their dining room table and one other small plastic table from outside.”
