Module 6 - New York and the other Washington.. WA-DC

Module 6 ended a little over a week  and half ago, and now just catching my breath to write about it. Module 6 was a little different than the other modules, as we had to finish all the work by the end of the last day of class. Usually, we had two weeks after the module to finish our finals.

Our fabulous logistic and program manager, Megan,...

Module 4-India!!

Today I arrived in Bangalore India for Module 4 of my Global Educational Experience. I left mid day Friday in Seattle  and spent over 20 hours in the air flying, touching down just briefly in London, and arriving on Sunday morning in Bangalore. From London to Bangalore I had a window seat. One of my professors told me that to understand globalization, you just have to follow the light. He showed in class a picture of the world at night and all the light scattered around the world clustering at metropolitan areas and dispersed in less developed areas. Flying from England to India-the route took us over the Middle East during night. If I wasn't asleep, then I was just following the light. Seeing how cities where connected by street lights, or how single pockets of flickering lights scattered...
