Study Abroad World

Last week, I returned from accompanying the first group of Global Business Semester students to India and China.

It was an exhausting but exhilarating trip to Delhi, Agra, Bangalore, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing. We visited both local and multi-national companies on this trip, including Evalueserve, Tavant, STPI, Infosys, Deutsche Bank and PepsiCo.

And on the cultural side, we saw the Taj Mahal, Jama Masjid, Humayun’s Tomb, Qutub Minar, Hong Kong, Po Ling Monastery, Pudong, Yu Yuan Gardens, Tien’anmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall of China, among other things.

We set up a photo gallery from this trip. If you watch it in regular mode, instead of slide show mode, you will also see the captions describing the photos

I will update this post with some thoughts on what is going on on the development side in Asia, but I wanted to get these photos up first!

Best,

Antonis

The municipality of Engomi, the area in Nicosia, Cyprus where our students are staying and the University of Nicosia is located, organized a Tree Planting Day on October 21st. The event was a symbolic gesture in memory of those who lost their lives in the devastating fires in Greece this summer.

The GLS Cyprus team informed the students about this event and their response was enthusiastic. The community welcomed the students to the event and their contribution to the environment was greatly appreciated.

Visit the GLS Photo Gallery about the event.
