6/1/12 Final Presentations and Dumplings

Today we had our final presentations for our program at Nankai which made me happy and sad at the same time. I am happy because we have made through the program but sad because I know we only have a couple more days left in Tianjin. My group and I did our presentation on transportation in China because it is quite different than transportation in America and we found it to be really interesting. One thing about transportation that is a lot different is their enforcement of traffic laws because in America they are strictly enforced but in China it is harder for the police to enforce them for a variety of reasons, one being the population. Some of the other presentations focused on martial arts, food, marriage, and many other interesting subjects which was cool to see and learn more about the Chinese culture. After the presentations some of the Chinese students showed us how to make dumplings which was fun and I definitely want to try making some of my own when I'm back in America! Overall, today was a lot of fun and I learned a lot more about the Chinese culture.
