So what is a blog anyway? Blogger.com defines a blog as a personal diary, a daily pulpit, a collaborative space, a political soapbox, a breaking-news outlet, a collection of links, your own private thoughts, and even memos to the world. Basically, a blog is whatever you want it to be. There are millions of them, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules.
At Massachusetts Maritime Academy we are taking the blogging concept and giving it a new twist. This spring ten MMA cadets are traveling to China to spend the semester experiencing life at Shanghai Maritime University (SMU). Conversely, ten students from SMU are spending their spring semester at MMA with host MMA cadets. This blog will document life from both sides of the world and relay experiences of Americans in China, Chinese in America, and what can happen when two worlds collide.
Updates from Shanghai will be written and submitted by:

Updates from Massachusetts Maritime Academy will be provided by:
