What is Culture?

Okay, here's the deal. I recently returned from two months in Asia as a part of my university degree. I am currently battling through a bunch of academic papers I am not particularly interested in writing, but they are a necessary part of the program so I should probably finish them. That being said, one of my assignments was to write an academic journal about my time in Asia. The following posts (there will be a lot of them...my journal was 30 pages at 1.5 spacing) are going to be basically copied and pasted from that, but maybe with some more insights, maybe more sections to each one, maybe more sections in general (that will make more sense once you read my next post). The title is what it is because of the way my journal was written. In short, though, "What is Culture?" was the title of my academic journal. Don't like it? Confused by it? Hopefully that will all change if you choose to keep reading.

I've been writing too much!

Basically, I am challenging myself to explain what I think of my experiences in Asia, and show some pictures while I'm at it. Also, this makes it easier than talking to everyone I know for three hours, as I know a lot of people and that would take way more time than I have. So this is sort of like my little gift to myself (and to any of you who are particularly interested in knowing about my trip).

Here we go!


Peace & Love,
