Matt Dalhausen ’11 in Bangkok, Thailand

“I’m taking classes at Chulalongkorn in Bangkok, Thailand on an engineering exchange program. There are four Dartmouth students on the four-month long program at Chula, and during the fall three Thai students from Chula will be taking classes and doing research at Dartmouth. Since we are only allowed to transfer four credits from Chula, and the normal course load here is six or seven courses, we’ve had lots of free time to go traveling on weekends. Highlights have been snorkeling at several tropical islands, visiting the bridge at River Kwai and relaxing at some of Thailand’s beautiful waterfalls. I’m looking forward to the Thai holiday of Songkran, a three-day water festival when Thais take to the streets with water guns and buckets for a non-stop water fight.
