Next semester I will be studying abroad on the Boston University campus in Paris, France. I have been to France before but I have only been to some cities in the south and therefore cannot wait to explore Paris. I love huge metropolitan cities and cannot wait to go back to one. It will certainly be a unique experience as I will not only be taking classes in French but I will also be interning at a French company.
Washington DC, Seattle, Tacoma
The quiz was correct in assuming that I could be from the Northern East coast but it also sort of placed me all over the place except for Texas and parts of the Mid-West.
After watching the videos and reading the articles I concluded that it only reinforced my belief that when you travel to another country you shouldn't do t strictly as a foreigner but more so as some one who wants to get into those peoples' shoes and learn about their culture instead of viewing through strictly foreign eyes. If you go into a country with firmly held views that you are not willing to part with then you will not be able to take fully advantage of the experience and will certainly not expand your world view much, at least not in an accurate way.
