CRRU
January 9, 2014
It's been a couple of busy days in Thailand. Today we visited the
students and campus of Chiang Rai university. We met up with a fellow
student from the university to show us around the campus. Many of them
didn't know much English, but we figured things out eventually. Coming
in I expected a big difference from culture to culture in student
behavior and interaction, but after hanging out with the students of
CRRU I found that we weren't so different.
I met Kat a student from the university and we had the same apps on our
phones and we listened to the same types of music. So meeting the
students was an eye opener, everyone was very open to learn about each
other. Seeing how similar we were and how we could connect on an
academic and social level was something that was cool to see.
This blog has been created for students participating in the 2014 University of Minnesota learning abroad course Families and Healthcare in Thailand. Students and professors will share pictures and stories about our experiences in Chiang Mai, Chiangrai, and Bangkok. Please join us as we learn about Thai families, culture, and healthcare.
