Journey to Southeast Asia on Oakton Tour

Visit Southeast Asia on an exotic two-week travel/study tour sponsored by Oakton Community College. Trip departs Sunday, Nov. 4.

Renowned for some of the world's finest archeological sites, Southeast Asia offers an array of ancient treasures. View the exquisite Khmer and Hindu art located in the Angkor temples. Learn about the conservation efforts in Angkor during a special session with a member of the World Monument Fund. In Vietnam, travel to Ho Chi Minh City, home of the bustling Binh Tay market and historic landmarks such as the Palace of the Jade Emperor. Enhance your visit with a discussion on the impact of foreign influence on current Vietnamese policies.

Available at an extra cost are optional excursions to the countryside of Kanchanaburi, made famous in the film, Bridge over the River Kwai, and Cu Chi Tunnels, a 150-mile long network of underground passages and rooms.

Trips also are scheduled in 2008. For additional information, contact Bea Cornelissen at 847-635-1812, or visit www.oakton.edu/news/first/travel.htm.
