Does anyone know what are the guidelines for using buddy passes? I have a buddy pass with Delta and really wanna use it to buy a ticket from Atlanta to Shanghai. This would be in accordance with using a "U.S.‐flag air carrier service to the farthest interchange point on a usually traveled route" as mentioned by the Fly America guidelines. I tried searching for info and even emailed the program directors but haven't come up with anything yet. Any help would be appreciated!

My doc made me do it. He said it's a malaria zone.

For anyone wondering about visas and plane tickets: You will receive more information shortly regarding issues such as the visa application procedures and travel policies, but don’t buy any tickets yet. That’s something to take care of once your visa has been approved. Regards, Jonathan

Wow thats awesome! Congrats!

omg congrats! thats awesome!

LOL yeah potentially. I've done research with mosquitoes for 4 years now so I've become super ninja at avoiding bites!

Thank you!! I'm comparing malaria and dengue fever activity/mosquito behavior in a hot humid lowland urban area (Ho Chi Minh City) to that of a cool semi-arid highland village (Da Lat). That's why I'm spending half the year at each host affiliation. Basically I interview people, take water samples (mosquitoes love to breed in dirty water), observe temperature/rainfall effect on mosquito breeding behavior, do DNA extractions to see what pathogens blood-fed mosquitoes are carrying, read papers, all that good stuff Good luck to all vietnam-ers! I hope to see you all there (that would be beyond awesome)!!!

OMG!!! full grant to vietnam! YESSSSSS annguyen89 current address notification 4/30 postmark 4/26 large manila annguyen89@gmail.com half of the year in Ho Chi Minh City at University of Pharmacy and Medicine, the other half in Da Lat at University of Da Lat

my campus advisor just emailed....one applicant has already received their vietnam letter! they're definitely out!!!

oh good, I was just about to reply and say I'll email him. Please let this be the week!!!! ><

Any word on the rest of SE Asia? What is this person's contact may I ask?

srsly. lets keep in touch if we both get it!!!! i have no plan B so *cross fingers* vietnam fulbrighters '10-'11 are so lucky.....they got theirs so early!!!

Vietnam fulbrighters, this is what jonathan told me when I asked him about the decisions....i dont think he knows much: It's not possible to predict exactly when the final results will become available, but in the past notification letters for Vietnam have usually gone out in mid to late April.
