The planning for the trip is getting hectic; we met with the students two weeks ago to get all their visa applications, to review the policies and procedures, and provided them with an overview of the country and the cultural forces (Thank you Dr Abarre!).The students provided me with a brief "thesis" for grounding of their research. These were generally pretty good and reflected consideration of the background of the country and some thought about the impact.
Have been doing additional reading about the economy and economic evolution which provides a great framework for me in working with the students.
The itinerary is being finalized and we're trying to make sure there's that good balance between cultural and business but with adequate "adventure". We're working with The AYA Centre for Intercultural Awareness and Development http://www.ayacentre.com for the trip and they seem to have done a really good job balancing our needs.
