Happy Friday!
If you can't believe it's already August, you aren't aloneāneither can we. These are the dog days of summer you know, meaning the season isn't over just yet and anything isĀ paw-sible! š¾
But do you know what the ādog days of summerā even meanā¦? As the curious people we are, we did some research. Turns out thereās an actual āDog Starā (part of the constellationĀ Canis Major), and these are the days when it appears to rise right before the āļø. Itās Greek, itās old, itās aĀ doggoneĀ fun fact.
Usually the hottest days of the year, these dog days can feel a littleĀ ruffĀ sometimes. But if you can handle the š„, you might consider checking out theĀ best places to study abroad for warm weather. And while you wait for the ās to align to travel again (whether or not they are dog stars), let us know whatĀ study abroad questionsĀ you have for IES Abroad alumni!
Astronomy aside, the dog days also remind us of how much we š our canine friends (especially while we work, or study, from š ). In fact, dogs are so loved around the world that aĀ mountain in JapanĀ was named after them and ourĀ correspondentsĀ are constantly documenting theĀ dogs they see abroad.
And now, on to what was clearly the most critical question weāve asked our colleagues this week š.Ā If we let their dogs out (cue the Baha Men šµ), where in the š would theyĀ study abroad?
