Other international education events:

Glimpse Magazine's Fall 2005 writing contest, “There’s No Place Like Home”
Grand prize is a $500 travel voucher, courtesy of STA Travel!

THEME: Many who venture abroad are prepared for culture shock but quite surprised when it happens in reverse: that is, when they return home and find it difficult to settle back into their old habits and routines. What challenges did you face upon your return home? Which cultural aspects of your home country were the hardest to reintegrate into your daily life? Choose a few key anecdotes both from your time abroad and after your return home that illustrate the ways in which your overseas experiences transformed specific attitudes, habits and/or perspectives.

DEADLINE: Monday, November 7, 2005
