Louisiana, USA
My life in the US began as a 21-year-old graduate student at Louisiana State University (LSU), Baton Rouge. I still associate my time there with many formative experiences, personal growth, and lasting friendships, even as I was happy to move to the far more cosmopolitan shores of California after graduation. Sixteen years later, I visited it again in Dec 2007. (Click on thumbnails below for additional pictures.)
