This month’s publication of Crafting Culture embodies the beauty of Chinese culture among the students of BT. Given that we have an abundance of exchange students from China, we took advantage of this aspect of our community and interviewed two students, Jimmy Chen and Nick Zhao.
In this podcast, we discussed national foods, cultural celebrations, and one of Jimmy’s favorite holidays, Chinese New Year. During this celebration, a parade ensues along the streets and people fill their mouths with copious amounts of traditional food! (This holiday is normally celebrated with family and loved ones) Along with this beautiful holiday, Jimmy and Nick share their perspective on the differences between America and China, emphasizing the culture shocks that many go through when moving to a new country. Overall, we share a brilliant discussion about Chinese culture and being an exchange student at BT.
We hope you enjoy this month’s publication and hone in on all that Jimmy and Nick have to say about their culture as well as their appreciation for BT’s involvement in diversity.
