China 2001: Butler University/Freeman Foundation Student-Faculty Fieldwork Trip
Modified 31 May 2001

Dinner with Chinese students
Although goal of this project is to allow everyone to conduct fieldwork on their individual projects, it was good for us to have a chance for the group to all get together for a meal -- it has been a rare occasion this past week for all of us to be in one place! During the day, Jeff, Liz, Matt, Becca and Jen followed their own leads; but for dinner, we were scheduled to have a meal with some Chinese students. Other than the other study-abroad students in our compound, they had not had much interaction with Chinese students their own age. We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening with a group of six students; the Butler gang were pleasantly surprised about how much they had in common in terms of university life.
