From the CAHM Students who traveled to China in 2011:“Language and culture impacted me greatly on an academic, professional, and personal level. Experiencing a completely different world, with an extremely different dialect (written and spoken), a rich ancient history, and cuisine (the kinds of food, how it is served, and how it is eaten) are some things I’ll never forget.
As a student in the field of Hospitality Management, going to the schools and Sofitel, and experiencing the cuisine is a “taste” of what I could do with my career and has inspired me to broaden my horizons. Also, visiting sacred places and the Confucian and Buddhist temples had me understand more culture than hospitality, but the history lessons in Chinese culture are a must know in understanding their way of life. Everything is intertwined: religion, food, history.“
