I don’t want to pry but did you enjoy it?
I went WAY back when…shit…before I could vote. Took Chinese in High school (heard it was an easy elective) and that class took a trip at the end of every year…about 3 weeks long, all kind of cities and even the last week in Tibet.
Amazing, eye opening experience that would impact me for life…most importantly it taught me to value what we (Americans) have in a MUCH more considerate and respectful manner. And honestly, by a more micro degree, how to hold value for others as a result of what we have ourselves…
Traveling abroad I think is really important for anyone who claims to be open minded. Or wants to do any kind of community/ political work.
