Re-blogging at its Finest

Last weekend, a young mad named Alex paid my program a quick visit. I don't really understand who he was and what he was doing, but as far as I could gather.... He won a CIEE contest in photography and videography. His prize was to travel Europe and Asia for free and visit all of the different CIEE program sites, recording his journey along the way. Another girl went to to Africa, while a third contest winner covered the Americas. All and all, the three visited 35 countries in 2 months. For Alex, Hyderabad was the last stop of his journey. He visited our classes, participated in extracurriculars, met the homestay fam, attended the weekend's planned activity (palak paneer cooking class), etc. It was a jam packed few days, and he took lots of great photos and videos.  He just posted it all, and its really cool to see my program through someone else's lens. Here is the link to the India page on his blog... http://alex.ciee.org/

Most importantly, this is the video that he made about India. While he mentions Mumbai much more than Hyderabad, I think that the video accurately articulates many of my first impressions of this crazy country, so I thought I would share. Enjoy!
