Thoughts from student interns abroad

Not So Cliche

2017 November 28 by Rosemary Driscoll

Recently I played a game with some Chinese students that would help them learn more English and help me to learn some Chinese. There were several pieces of paper with either English or Chinese words written on each piece. If the word or phrase was English  I would explain it to them and if it was Chinese they would explain it to me. The Chinese words they had written down to … [Read more...] about Not So Cliche

Sticking Out but Fitting in

2017 September 20 by Weston Phipps

I have always tried my hardest to fit in and make myself blend with the crowds around me. Unfortunately, curly hair, white skin, and an American accent make blending in a thing of the past in my new home. Standing out is a scary enough prospect within the states, but being thrown half way around the world and speaking very little of the native tongue brings scary to a whole new … [Read more...] about Sticking Out but Fitting in
