Bye Bye GSP!
Well, we've lived through our first day in Hanoi. Needless to say, we are very excited that we have survived the language barrier and the TRAFFIC! Today was a great day to really take it easy and get to know the rest of our student groups. We began the morning with a filling breakfast, complete with Vietnamese noodles and Chicken soup :). Following breakfast, we had the chance to walk around and do a bit of market shopping and Vietnamese watching...very very different lifestyles!
This afternoon, we went to Hanoi University where we met our sponsors for the week. We are teaming up with Hanoi University to organize our week and to meet the team of Vietnamese organizers. We were also able to go to the Temple of Literature and take a tour, following the introductions at the university.
We finished the evening with a very filling buffet style meal at the Potomac restaurant, which is actually a floating restaurant on Westlake. Overall, we had a great time and are super excited about the week's events! Tomorrow we head along to HaLong Bay for an all day trip...check back tomorrow evening for a full day's summary!
See you soon!

And when you get back hope your delegation and the whole poli sci dept at Furman will take earnest reading of Dr. Guth's good friend Randall Balmer's latest Building Red America. Guth cuts the credits.
