Students of Scranton University on Asia Tour

India is a country of vibrant culture and tradition. No tour is better than a tour to India, which exposes you to different colors of India.

If you are thinking about expanses for the Asian Tour, here is good news for you all. A group at The University of Scranton has arranged these tours locally and free of charge for all.

The University has a section of Asian studies, and concentrating on the studies, the group has organized a yearlong series of cultural experiences representing six Asian countries. The main motive is teaching students and the community alike about cultures around the world.

Dubbed Tour of Asia, including cultural Tour, is focusing on China in February, with the presentation and hands-on demo "Philosophy, Culture, and Calligraphy".
The Basic idea behind the tour to India and other parts of Asia is to develop a series to introduce people to cultures around the world and also reach out to the local community. According to the head of the department, the best way to explore the culture is to visit any particular country in Asia in the month of cultural festival and celebration.

The cultural tour will begin with Chinese opera workshop and performance by world-renowned opera group Taiwan Bangzi Opera that has also performed in New York City and London. Their main performance is sponsored by University of Scranton, which is also an adaptation of Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice" in Washington. The event will be unfolding meaning of "bond" – protection and restriction – and the issues of race, justice, law, love, gender, and friendship.

In this Tour of Asia, visit to India will be in March, which focuses on Indian culture with two presentations. The head department hopes that community members will get an idea about the history and evolution of different societies through the tour. Moreover, it also includes sampling of different Asian cuisines, i.e. Indian cuisines in March and Philippine cuisine in April.

To attract travelers various competitions are also organized during the tour.

Philippine Travel: Ongpin Aka Chinatown

If your Asia tour includes a long stay in the Philippines, we suggest that you add in a visit to Ongpin or Chinatown, which is how most people call it as well, as part of your travel program, especially if you'll in Manila - the capital city of the country - for a while yet.

Ongpin or Chinatown may not be as popular as other places in the Philippines but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be part of your travel schedule. Not only is a visit to Ongpin guaranteed to be delightful in more ways than one, it also won't cost you much because prices in Ongpin are more affordable than what you'd find in other cities like Makati or even Quezon City.

Ongpin is also mainly a residential town so it's easier to tour the place rather than other cities, which would require you to take on huge buses and six-wheeler trucks just to cross the street.

Because Ongpin is not that big a town, the streets are mostly narrow, winding and filled with people. If you're planning to drive your own car to Ongpin, you might be forced then to park somewhere and walk for the rest of the time you'll be spending in Binondo. But that's not really much of a punishment - except for your feet, if you're wearing high heels! - because a lot of people really prefer to wander around Ongpin by foot.

Food Shopping

Fruits - Almost all kinds of fruits are sold in the streets of Ongpin and if you're feeling a bit adventurous, you could try out some of the exotic fruits being offered by street vendors such as the mangosteen or the huge apple-mango. Highly popular with the Filipino Chinese residents of Ongpin are rambutan, longgans, lanzones and chicos. When you get to Ongpin, be sure that you do try all those fruits and more since one can never get fat with fruits, anyway.

Delicacies - When you get to Ongpin, do be sure that you'll be able to make a pit stop at any of the Chinese food stores of Ongpin. One of the most popular stores of this type is Eng Bee Tin. There, you'll be able to find all sorts of Chinese delicacies that people back home would surely be delighted with.

Main Dishes - Tired after walking nonstop for an hour or so? If that's the case, we suggest that you try relaxing your feet on any of the restaurants located in Ongpin. Try out popular Chinese dishes and the exotic ones as well so your trip to Ongpin will be truly memorable.

Is it possible for a Peace Corps volunteer to spend three tours consecutively in one country?

I have a Peace Corp volunteer friend who's about to finish his two tours in the Philippines and now he wants to renew for third time. Is this possible? Are there any tour of duty limitations in a single country?

Your friend needs to talk to his CD. It's only with that person's permission it's possible, and the CD won't have the final say -- it will lie with the Regional Manager.

And it might be tough, since after two terms, he's unlikely to have the same CD he came in with. A newer CD might not be familiar enough with your friend's work to fight for it, which is what it will take.

See the Peace Corps manual, which is posted here: http://www.peacecorpsjournals.com/manual/MS281.html#3.0--extension_of_volunteer_service_within_the_host_country

"3.3.2 Extensions Beyond 25 Months
A Volunteer's request for an extension of service beyond 25 months from the original COS date may be approved only by the Regional Director. The Country Director shall send an email, fax, or cable to the Regional Director explaining why, based on the criteria in paragraph 3.2 above, the extension is warranted; what extraordinary circumstances warrant the extension beyond 25 months; and whether special leave would be applicable. The Regional Director shall send an email, fax, or cable to the Country Director either approving or disapproving the request. If the request is approved, the Country Director must report the extension using the format described in paragraph 3.3.1, noting the Regional Director's approval. "
