Hey.
My name is Porsche and I am going to the CUHK (Chinese University of Hong Kong) as a senior for the Fall 2011 semester. I am 21 years of age and I am excited, but very nervous.
I expect to learn a new language while I am over there. I believe it is important to communicate with other people in their type of environment and in the way that makes them feel comfortable. I also expect to learn more about their traditions, values, social acceptance, government, and political views of the U.S. I know people believe you can learn this by reading, or taking a class. On the other hand, I believe immersing myself in another country physically makes the experience much more memorable, more effective, and hopefully FUN!!
This will be my first time leaving the country, so……. Wish me luck! Flight leaves in 1 month and 3 days.
Location: University Park

Thank you Christopher!!! I appreciate it. How long are you going for? And your right, this summer has gone by extremely fast. I leave from State College in 2 weeks – Off to Jersey, then NY, then HK!! Thanks for your feedback!
Have Fun! I leave for China on September 3rd, I’m going to Shanghai! This summer has gone by so fast, the semester is almost starting. I agree, immersion in another country is a great experience and teaches you a lot about the culture.
