Off to Macau
My parents visited me this week, and so we all decided to go to a little family trip on Saturday. Our destination? Macau. Macau is another specially administrated region in China, just like Hong Kong. But Macau is different in the sense that it was a Portuguese colony for nearly 500 years. From the early ...
Settling In
It took about four days for the jet lag to completely pass. However, UNSW’s international student orientation was only two days after my arrival in Sydney, so I had to get my act together quickly. If you’ve never experienced jet lag before, like me, just know that the feeling is very similar to the aftermath ...
Australian Beaches
Prior to coming to Australia, I was aware of all the dangerous animals here. However, when I got here I was surprised to learn that most deaths in Australia actually occur in the ocean.

Free Museums!
The first Sunday of every month starting from October to March is free museum day in Florence. We have all been patiently waiting for the opportunity to finally see some of the things that Florence is famous for. Because it was free museum day, the lines were a little longer and I was expecting that. ...
Intro to Sydney Environment
I came abroad to UNSW for their tailored term 2. As a result, I had an intensive course that only lasted 4 weeks and I chose to take Introduction to Sydney Environment. Some main differences I have noticed in Australia is the grading system. The average grade is about a 65 with 50 being passing ...
Guy Fawkes Night
Please note that this is a retired Drexel study abroad program. To learn more about available programs, contact Drexel Global studyabroad@drexel.edu.
