I absolutely agree with you that the more time you spend in a foreign country the more valuable is the experience and understanding of this country. I especially like your phrase “beyond-just-knicking-the-surface-and-getting-drunk-in-a-few-foreign-countries” is very true, as well as your statement about making the most of your time abroad. I have actually written about that myself on my blog MariaAbroad.com and tried to give some advice on how to make the most of your time abroad. Here is the link, in case you are interested: http://mariaabroad.com/2009/04/how-to-make-the-most-of-your-stay-abroad/ Thanks again for the post and I am looking forward to reading more from you!
