Time is getting close. Carol has been reading and planning and fretting about classes and syllabi and clothes. Tom has gotten tickets and finances organized and made reservations for our first stop in Hanoi.
Carol will be teaching 24 Cal Poly students who will be reading the literature that she has spent the last 3 months sorting through and choosing. A History professor, Christina Firpo will be the other instructor in the program and will lecture on Southeast Asian History. They will team teach a Humanities class. The students (and professors with me tagging along) are going to be experience a homestay with a Thai family, work on a sustainable project, cooking classes, Thai boxing, elephant rides, and much more.
This will be a completely different experience than our time in Hungary. We will be staying in the same student-run hotels that the Cal Poly students stay in and we will be traveling with the students to Siem Reap and other places.
Well, maybe I will look to see if I have the clothes that I need to pack. Thanks for reading.
Tom
I have a friend from college (originally from Mobile) who lives in Siem Reap - Harry Pond. If he sends me his number I'll foward it to you. Joe
