Surprising new foods
“Food was definitely a big part of my experience, as it always is! I tried sauced and packaged mushrooms! My host sister loves it, so she wanted me to try it! I am kinda used trying new wacky foods. Surprisingly, they were actually pretty good!”
— Samantha, Shanghai
Discover what the world has to offer
“My favorite part was living in another country, meeting people around the world, and learning a lot from children.
My host family was kind and respectful.
It’s a great opportunity to start discovering what the world has to offer and can mature you in many ways.”
— Jordan, Hangzhou
The fanciest sushi
“Here’s one of my weekends in China:
My host mom took her daughter and me out for sushi which is my favorite food. It was so amazingly delicious. I also tried sushi without the rice for the first time. The next day we went to the science museum. There were a bunch of kids running around playing with all of these science experiments. It was a lot of fun. After we went out for sushi again! Yay! It was seriously the fanciest sushi I’ve ever had. And to top it off the restaurant gave us free creme brûlée, which just so happens to be my favorite dessert. It was such a good weekend.”
— Megan, Shenzhen
