My time in DC has been quite the experience so far. Meeting new people and learning new things, all the while adapting to this bustling city has made the past ten days seem like a blur. As the daily metro rides to GW and early morning classes quickly become routine I find myself looking forward to coming weeks.
Jing Zhong, the China specialist at the Global Resource Center gave the orientation for my internship. It was entirely in Chinese, for which I was both scared and grateful. While it’s great to have someone to practice the language with, it can be intimidating at times. At least I’m not the only one eating with chopsticks during lunch.
At the WISH open house we ran into four exchange students from Korea that we’ve affectionately dubbed “K-Unit”. Since then, we took a few excursions together, the most entertaining event for me being a game of charades. It was lots of fun, and I learned some interesting cultural facts.
Apparently, the dogs in Korea never urinate on fire hydrants.
