Asia07 Travel Blog

A compilation of my experiences and thoughts in the UBC-USP summer programme:

Eating our way through Asia:
A field study of Chinese migration
6th - 25th May 2007.

Places visited include Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Singapore, Malacca and Kuala Lumpur. Though this programme was initiated to explore the extent and consequences of mass Chinese migration over the past hundred years, we did not find many answers to our questions, but rather found lots more questions for us to ponder about, such as the consequences of the impact of globalisation on the Chinese culture, the definition and "exportability" of culture, authenicity etc.

A relaxing, free and easy trip. Little structured learning, yet with lots of observations and issues to think about.
