Journal Entries:
Student Writing from the Asian Experience

During both years of the GIAC experience, students are asked to do regular journal writing as a way of reflecting on their encounters with Asian people and culture. This writing, besides having personal meaning, can help to share the importance of the GIAC experience to others.

We have had a dream of receiving daily journal writing and photos while the Vermont students are travelling in China and Inner Mongolia. Our high-tech vision is that someday soon a laptop computer equipped with cell modem, cell phone and wireless access to the Internet will enable our student travellers to send regular writing and attached digital photos to families, friends, and the newspapers in Vermont during their journey. As Internet technology becomes more advanced and available throughout China, we hope to realize this idea.

For some inspired writing by recent GIAC student travellers, please visit these links:
