I'm about to take a semester off to work on a start up company in China. I would recommend doing something with your time that will combine multiple interests. I think doing something abroad would give you 'international' experience, allow you to travel and give you opportunity to learn a new language. As for martial arts, I'm biased, have been studying Ninjitsu (Budo Bujinkan Taijitsu) for the past 5 years. Ninjas rule.
