Thomas KinterLearn Russian in the European UnionDaugavpils, LatviaSpring 2022 The time I spent in Latvia was one of the most valuable experiences in my life. I made great friendships with both my fellow students from America and with the people of Daugavpils who taught me so much and made my life there so rich. Unfortunately, my time there was cut short when the school cautiously determined that it would be best for me to leave a country so close to Russia as the war in Ukraine grew. While I understand the decision, it is an understatement to say that […]

George A. LanghammerH-SCAlcala de Henares, SpainMay Term Abroad 2022 First Impressions After a bumpy overnight flight, our class arrived in Madrid at 8 am on Wednesday, May 25th. We are studying at the Universidad of Alcala in Alcala de Henares, a city about 45 minutes from the center of Madrid. The city is full of history and was founded in the 1st Century BC by the Romans. We were all immediately struck by how much of the city’s past is preserved through the architecture. However, we did not have too much time to admire everything because we had to meet […]

Franz GilbertLondon School of EconomicsLondon, EnglandSpring 2022 Being back since my Spring Break in March has been a crazy past month. Our in-person classes have ended, so that we can prepare for final exams and papers. The London School of Economics basically gives its students weeks off to study for finals in May and June. This has been very refreshing because it has given me ample time to revise and reframe for the papers and finals. Instead of having to balance class and work like we normally must do at Sydney, I have been able to relax and learn the […]

Pieter William GreenAIFSBuenos Aires, ArgentinaSpring 2022Blog #2Hola todos! Welcome to another installation of my adventures in Argentina. As the majority of you are taking your finals, I am in the middle of completing my midterms at my university here in Buenos Aires. During some of my free time in between exams, I had the opportunity to visit the MALBA, one of my favorite museums in Argentina. The museum stands for “Museo de arte latinoamericano de buenos aires” or the museum of Latin American Art Buenos Aires. The museum focuses on Latin American art from the early 20th century to present […]

Thomas KinterLearn Russian in the European UnionDaugavpils, LatviaSpring 2022 Recently, my friends and I were fortunate enough to visit the neighboring Baltic nation of Lithuania. Lithuania is a country of about three million people on the eastern side of the Baltic Sea. Its capital, Vilnius, is in the eastern part of the country and even closer to Daugavpils than Latvia’s capital, Riga. Together, Latvian and Lithuanian are part of what are known as the Baltic languages which I have come to learn are quite different than the Slavic languages Russian, Belarusian, and Polish that are spoken in the surrounding countries.
