This blog describes my travels around Germany and a weekend in Paris in July/August 2010. I am teaching international public health and yoga for three weeks. There is a group of 20 students from around the world: Germany, UK (Scotland), Denmark, South Korea, Vietnam, and USA (6 American, 5 of those are from USI).

Dinner from around the world-made by the students-Day 6
Today was day two of lecture and overall things are going well. Students are perhaps a bit tired, but will have some time to rest this weekend as we leave at 6:45am on Friday for Berlin. We'll stop off in Wolfsburg at the Volkswagen plant/exposition in the late morning. However, after a day of classes, students spent nearly 2 hrs preparing a variety of dishes and items from countries around the world for dinner. It was fabulous as the pictures show and I believe every enjoyed the process. I truly see many new friendships being developed among the students and generally they seem comfortable with communicating with each other if they have any issues or challenges with each other. They are truly being challenging not only by their tasks, but also by persevering through long days of activities, but they all know this is an opportunity of a lifetime (faculty realize this too :)
Enjoy the pictures and I wish you could have joined us for dinner. The first week winds down tomorrow and it feels like we have been here for a month...we've been busy.
I was reminded today, to "Enjoy myself, it's later than you think."
Gute Nacht!
