Welcome to the 2011-2012 edition of the well-known game "Where's Waldo?" here at North Dakota State University. To make things a bit more stylish and suited towards our student body, this blog is built around the international trips currently offered, hence our title "Where's Thundar?" It follows the unique and memorable experiences of current college students traveling to Western Europe through the NDSU Center for Global Initiatives. We will describe where we've been and where we're going, as well as ways you can get involved with this great opportunity to see your world.

Thundar gets a feel for Royalty

Where's Thundar??
Taking a small peak in the right corner the pedestrians around the Buckingham Palace weren't accustomed to seeing a bison dressed in is white and red striped outfit.

Thundar took a trip to Buckingham Palace which has been residence for many of Britain's Royalty since 1837. The palace is not only residence to the Queen but it is open yearly for visitors as well. Thundar again ran into an issue for no animals/pets allowed in the building so he took his visit to the outside of the palace. Thundar was slightly saddened he was not one of the 50,000 that got to tour/visit the palace every year. Thundar then decided to do some research on the building and it was then he discovered that it holds over 775 rooms, which includes over 180 just for staff members. The Palace is also a venue for many royalty events and ceremonies. The Palace holds many items of artwork that are very rare and royal to the family, and many will lever be seen because the Palace is not 100% open to the public meaning it is far from a museum. The Music room was very interesting to Thundar, this is the room that christened all of the Four Babies including Prince William. The details in all of the rooms are extravagant and Thundar has encouraged all students to consider joining the CGI program in its Summer Tour 2012. The Palace was amongst one of many places the CGI students got to travel to in London.
