Chinese Students Abroad: A Mixed Reality Study

We are currently conducting research on how Chinese students in the San Francisco Bay Area use the Internet and mobile phones to become comfortable living in a new environment. The research includes a virtual ethnography of popular Chinese language bulletin boards, interviews with Chinese students, and journals that document behavior and feelings.
