AFS Orientation

I have arrived in China safely and I am greatly excited. I met many people from all around at the AFS orientation in Shanghai. It was amazing to meet people literally from every continent of the world (except for Antarctica). Something the really amazed me was meeting a person my age from Bolivia, who is directly effected by the conflict. He told me that he even faced a blockade getting to airport in Bolivia and that he had to walk 3 km to get inside the airport. He gave much insight into what is like for normal Bolivian. I loved the orientation and meeting people from different cultures.
