We are in China! We have begun our third summer study-abroad trip to China.
We have a small, but energetic group this year. Our travelers are Analisa Harangozo from the San Francisco Bay area, Caitlin Knapp from the New York City and Long Island area, and Hilary Saunders from the Virginia Beach-Norfolk area in Virginia.
We are based in China's largest city, Shanghai, but we will making trips to Beijing, Hong Kong, and Bangkok.
Our apartments are located in the downtown district of Shanghai and just north of the popular French Concession district.
Our trip took place from Wednesday, May 14, through Wednesday, June 18.
We posted the feature stories and accompanying photographs of our writers on this site. 
We also posted on daily student blogs that are linked in the index to the left. These blogs will document our adventures for interested readers.
The course is led by Dr. Bruce Garrison (bruce@miami.edu), a member of the faculty of the Journalism Program in the School of Communication at UM. Garrison is a former Fulbright grant recipient in Shanghai and he has extensive experience as a traveler in China, Thailand, and other countries in Asia.
Garrison is assisted by Ms. Chen Lishu. Chen is currently a graduate student at New York University and a graduate of the international journalism program at Shanghai International Studies University. She is a Shanghai native. The group was assisted by Ms. Yu Liu, a staff writer for Lifeweek news magazine in Beijing. She will be entering the School of Communication doctoral program at the University of Miami in the fall.
We made previous semester trips in summer 2007 and summer 2006.
We hope you will check out our work....

ANALISA HARANGOZO
Fly four hours southwest of Shanghai and you will discover a land where the characters are rounder, the food is spicier and the taxis turn a fluorescent pink or make tuk tuk noises. You have ventured in to “the Land of Smiles.”
