Tim & Caryn traveling by ferry to the Island of Miyajima
|
Caryn and Tim took an asian studies class from UCLA. UCLA is part of the National Consortium for Teaching About Asia. Through the class we were able to take a study tour to Korea and Japan. This site is the result of our trip, and our desire to share what we learned with others. The UCLA Asia Institute is a good resource for education about Asia. |
