I love NY

The first time I went to NYC was the day when we arrived at US. It was at night and I didn’t have too much impression since I was too tired after the long trip. After today’s hanging around, I believe I like this city.

We visited the statue of liberty in the morning. After lunch I just walked and enjoyed the buildings in Manhattan with Kid, Aaron and Alan. Then later we went to the Top of the Rock and saw the whole view of the city.

One of the things I like most about the city is the stone building with beautifully-curved patterns. Those buildings look imposing and impressive with a taste of antiquity and a feeling of constant.

The other catching thing is the birds in streets. They are active and brave and they look for crumbs between stream of traffic and people. This is a wonderful feeling to see those lovely creatures.

There are only a few days left for this trip, I hope all students can enjoy them.

I Love Philadelphia!

I really love this city!
Not only for its fascinating views,but also the atmosphere and familiar feeling recall me of my hometown.
And what makes the feeling stronger,one of my best friends is here.
We haven't seen each other for years,and it's really amazig for us to meet each other in a foreign country.
She told me that the climate here is resemble to Wuhan and the way people live is also like what we do in Wuhan.So she got used to the environment and life very soon when she came here.Haha~
I really enjoy today and Philadelphia makes the belief-studying in USA-even stronger!

Blog 3: Farewell Party

Yesterday, we had our farewell party at a Chinese restaurant. The party was great and everybody had a lot of fun. I took some pictures and I want to share them with you guys.

David Smith and I

 Mr.Smith is a very kind person, he talked to us about nearly two hours. It's my pleasure to meet you!

All of our teachers and leaders. Thank you for your hard work!We love you!

Susy and Chen Xi. You two are so beautiful!

Franklin, you are so funny! XD

Thanks for the lovely T-shirt! 

Hans, it seems that you had a lot of fun~

 Wang Ziqi showed us his new cloth yesterday. It's really interesting!:D

 Besides all those photos, I also record a video, of which four students were singing the song of Wuhan University.I'm not professional and I hope it's clear enough for you to enjoy the beautiful song.

A brief introduction to myself

Hi, everyone! I’m Mike; my Chinese name is Cong Hao. I majored in economics in Wuhan University. The days we spent in OSU are very fantastic, gradually I get used to the life on campus, and I love the university especially the people here. During the days in Columbus, Ohio, our group did a comparative study of city community health service and the dual-track system between China and America. We handed out the questionnaires to the students here and talked with Doctor Miller. They are pretty nice and we learn a lot about the health care system here.

Now we are about to leave OSU, hoping that everyone had a good time here. Never say goodbye to OSU!

Shakespeare In The Park

                          THEY REALLY DID A GOOD JOB!
   Last night,we saw The Merchant of Venice written by Shakespeare in Schiller Park.I found it was interesting,because people can just sat on the grass and watched the drama for free.In my hometown,there are few opportunity for people ,especially those who don't have much money, to see such kind of drama.You need to pay for it,and you have to go to the opera.I think Shakespeare in the park is a very great idea for it gives the chance to everyone equally to enjoy the joy produced by art.

20120711 Wetland visiting

This project attracts me most. Wetland research is really cool! What's more, it is all for environment and the future of Earth.
       The farm is large and what we have tour is the part of whole system, without the whole wetland. In research center, we got to know Professor Brown and his students. After that, we were carried by a "truck"

 then we going around by "truck"

It is a great fun to learn more. When talking with one student, I knew that this summer is unusal that it is much more hot and droughtful than ever before.

  the project
with the basin collecting the run-off that meanwhile being used as buffering area, wetland can clear by microorganism.

 after that, we are reaching our terminal of the journal. What has represented is great amazing that hardly can you imagine without being here.

All in all, WHAT A GREAT DAY!!

The greetings from Professor Hancock and some observations about Amish culture

I have written a personal statement and sent it to Professor Hancock.He replied me and gave many suggestions on my draft personal statement .
Also,he wrote that " Please express my warm greetings to everyone in the summer program as you prepare to return home, especially your Wuhan teachers for a safe and happy journey back home. Zai jian."That was really nice.So i decided to post it on the  blog to make sure the greetings are sent to everyone.
Yesterday,we went to the Amish Country and had a great time there.The animal below is called "Yangtuo" in Chinese.I don't know what it is called in English.I think it is a dorable animal because it always wears a naive and peaceful face.It is so lucky that i can see it in Amish Country.

The faith of Amish people impressed me a lot.They refused to use electrocity and any other modern facilities.They would rather spend more time hanging out with families than surf the Internet and make the phone call.They attach more importance to the face-to-face communication with people.It may be hard for young generations .As a result, about twenty percent of the youth chose the modern life style instead of the conservative life style.Even thouth,they show respect for different faith .They encourage people to believe in their religion.Meanwhile,they can understand the different choices.Their culture is compatible .I think that is the reason why Amish culture can exist so long .
