The students left Chongqing this morning at 5:30 am to begin their long journey home. They will fly from Chongqing to Beijing, transfer airplanes, and finish their trip from Beijing to New York City. Join me in congratulating them on their wonderful adventure. It is clear from their postings that the learned a great deal about a culture quite different from their own -- yet in some ways very similar. In the process, they appear to have learned a great deal about themselves. They have made what hopefully will be lifelong relationships with people half way across the world. Most importantly they have expanded their world view and have significantly enriched their lives and those of their Chinese friends. Continue to watch for posts as the students write about the experience in retrospect.
