Global Health Engagement 2018 – Team China CDS Update #1
Hi from Shanghai,
We have arrived safely and with all our luggage in Shanghai. It has been raining here for several days and they tell us it will continue. Everyone is doing well, a few of us have colds but are doing ok. We have been able to visit old Shanghai and eat new and exciting dishes. The team learned that riding the subway in China means not waiting for others to get on or off because you get left behind at the station. The Chinese people are very interested in why we are here and where we are from. They stop us on the street and ask to take pictures with us. We will be leaving for Xuzhou by bullet train to begin training teachers and parents. The team is excited to begin our adventure and laughing together.
Things the Team has learned-
– when the subway voice says get off you get off
– a course ground pancake is a tortilla
– you drink yogurt with a straw not eat it with a spoon
– we can make friend where every we go….language is not a barrier
