How to Get to Know Your Neighborhood Abroad

In my first four weeks in Buenos Aires, I was given an assignment by my study abroad program: Take a photo montage of your neighborhood. I did just that. Here is what I came up with (See above).

In your first month of studying abroad:
1. Decide to take five pictures you feel represent your neighborhood. (In the process of taking these pictures, you will get to know your neighborhood so much better!)
2. Explore your neighborhood with two new friends.
3. Choose to talk to two or three new people who live in your neighborhood who are non-Americans. This way you can practice a new language or if they speak the same language as your native tongue, you will have made a couple new friends!
4. Choose to walk a different path every day for a week.
5. Visit five different stores in your neighborhood in a week.

What have you been doing in your first month studying abroad??
