This May, Furman Alumni and Friends Traveled to China with Furman's Asian Studies Department Chair, Kate Kaup, to experience first-hand how Furman approaches Asian Studies. The travelers agreed to keep the Furman community posted via blogspot. Unfortunately, the site was being censored at the time by the Chinese government. Undeterred, our bloggers sent emails to Furman, and were published in (almost) real time. Here at long last is the final, entire blog.

The group included:

David and Frances Ellison
Kate Kaup
Ron and Kathleen McKinney
Jason and Marie Richards
Coleman Shouse
Carrie and Richard Tucker
Diane and Tom Triplitt

Please send any comments to susan.brady@furman.edu. We are hoping to create more of these learning opportunities for alumni and friends and would love your input on the trip, the blog and where you might like to see Furman alumni travel next!

Thanks to our bloggers for sharing their adventures!
