Celebrity Status at The Bund
Today I got to enjoyed the amazing views of Shanghai! Before coming to Shanghai, everyone was constantly telling me that people were going to come up to me and think I was a “celebrity”. Turns out they were correct, and as we were at the bund, people kept coming up to me and asking me if they could take pictures.
We did our Cultural Community activity at The Bund today. It was very exciting, this was the first time we get to practice our Chinese with the local people of China. I got to learn alot doing this activity and being at The Bund. Today was so exciting, and it helped me gain knowledge about how people outside of the United States view us! It was fun being a celebrity for a day.
