This week was our last group meeting before we depart for China in about 3.5 weeks! I am so excited for the new experience that awaits us. Growing up, I traveled all over Europe, but have never been to Asia. I am looking forward to the experience of Chinese culture and language, even if it will be a large cultural shock from the Westernized world I am used to.
I am not exactly sure of the values of our host culture in their commitment to educating for justice, health, sustainability, and peace. At the moment, I am not sure if they addressed differently than the United States.
