About Me

My name is Hang and I am a current fifth year student at the University of California, Berkeley.

I am a simultaneous major in Ethnic Studies and Society and Environment.

I am studying abroad at the UC Paris Center in Paris, France from late August to mid-December 2012 and I am creating this blog in the hopes that I can: 

1) Keep a written record of my experiences and random thoughts throughout my study abroad period

2) Allow my friends, family, and loved ones to follow along during my adventures

3) Inspire and provide a resource for other students who are considering (or are currently) studying abroad in Paris or anywhere in general

I am truly grateful to the Benjamin A. Gilman Program for awarding me a scholarship which helps fund this current study abroad experience. Without their aid, this experience would not be possible. If you are a Pell grant recipient who is considering study abroad, I highly recommend that you apply for or read more into the Gilman Program:
