And we are on the downhill slide!

2014 April 22 by Brooke Mayfield

As I write this we are over half way done with our internship, and I am experiencing a bittersweet feeling. Although I know we are all eager to get back to the U.S. to see our family and friends - and to try TacoBell breakfast - I also know China has become a lot like home (I'm speaking for myself here).

At first it is a little hard for you to make some friends because at first they have a shyness barrier to overcome but once you are able to overcome that you will have more friends than you would have normally. I had an experience because i had worn shorts the whole time i was here even when it was really cold for … [Read more...] about Friends You Say?
