Ihab Anwar - Experiencing the World

Ihab Anwar Experiencing the World
2
University of Rhode Island student Ihab Anwar
recently enjoyed the opportunity to participate
in a Semester at Sea program, one that allowed
both he and his fellow students to gain
invaluable exposure to countries and cultures
lining the Atlantic Ocean. The opportunity, which
he participated in during the Fall 2014 semester,
took place aboard a cruise ship dubbed the MV
Explorer, and provided both Anwar and hundreds of
lucky students the chance to experience 17
different international cities located in 15
different countries.

Ihab Anwar, a studious and devoted academic, kept
detailed notes of each experience along the way,
recording the both the similarities and
differences of peoples, customs and geography
both he and his fellow students encountered
during the trip. His notes, which will serve as
the primary reference point for an extensive
paper in the very near future, include a very
detailed entry covering the groups stop at the
port city of Bridgetown, located on the beautiful
Bahaman island of Barbados. The stop took place
on November 22nd.

As noted by Ihab Anwar, the Port of Bridgetown
seems to be comprised of a fairly large number of
vacationing Brits, a testament to the long
occupation of the British Empire, as well as a
significant British influence that continues to
this day. Mr. Lodge, our calls the islands
inhabitants Bajuns, a friendly people that seem
to live within a fairly crime-free and harmonious
community.

One of the more popular attractions for Anwar and
his fellow students was a local port beach, which
Anwar strolled down alongside with Jenna, someone
he had grown quite fond of.
