Navigating this site:

• Site Reports are prepared by the Trippers and explain the context and history of places we are visiting.
• Daily Overview leads to a drop down menu of everyday we are here. It's the itinerary along with photographs taken by Junko Yokota and Michael Van Krey.
• Trippers Blogs are each Tripper's take on what they are experiencing, feeling, and how they are connecting with the language, people, and culture. It's a great way to see how we all interpret our experiences differently.
• Photo Challenges are a way to have Trippers learn to "see" differently. When presented with a specific framework for a challenge, it forces the photographer to pause and consider how they want to capture the moment.
• Reader Comments is a place for you to let us know you are reading this blog. Fill out the survey on that page and at the end of each day we'll post the comments in the doc below the survey. You comments motivate the Trippers to know there are people who are very interested in their musings.
