Field trip to the University of Laos, Vientiane
Last Wednesday, we went to the English Department of the University of Laos to join their weekly „English Zone“, a communicative platform for everyone with an interest in the English language. We took our chance to get an impression of what´s going on there. Once we arrived we were warmly welcomed by the Lao students and their volunteer teachers from the U.S.A. After briefly introducing ourselves each of us joined a group of students to have a discussion about food preferences: Asian food VS Western food, both heavy-weight champions in their own respect. After half an hour every group had the opportunity to make a statement about their yummy likes and dislikes. As most of the students haven´t come across Western food too often one can imagine that the result was quite one-sided in favour of the Eastern competitor. In numbers: 10:0 for Asian food. Everyone had a good time and after two hours we headed back towards Ban Sikeud. The Lao students really appreciated our visit and are looking forward to seeing us again.
