Willamette Abroad
The Willamette Abroad blogosphere comprises two entities: the Willamette Abroad Talk group blog for students studying abroad—or considering doing so—to discuss study-abroad topics and share knowledge, and a collection of individual blogs from students currently abroad. You can select a country at left to filter and link to the individual student blogs.

Australia is well known for its large collection of insects and spiders. Because it's the middle of winter here, I haven't seen too much fauna around. I've heard of spiders, mice, rats and moths in other apartments, but nothing could...
