I will be there for two semesters, and work in a lab on what I *believe* will be on the schools rescue robotics team. The reason behind why I say it that way will be explained in the next post or two when I post something up about the program I am studying abroad with - GE3.
How I envision what I want to do with this blog is to make a post every few days detailing different things about my experience. Food, music, events, classes, cultural difference, etc. I'll try to cover as much as I can. I actually bought a new camera just for this trip, so hopefully I will be posting videos as well as plenty of photos.
Well I don't wanna write too much here, so as an introduction to me, I'll use this standard questionair I found somewhere online.
