Hey guys, this is Dave Zou and I’m the last member to round off the LTI blogging triumvirate (although we are hoping to have guest bloggers throughout the week). I just noticed we have yet to mentioned all the members of SLP, so besides myself, Taylor, and Jia; the SLP crew in China includes: Wesley, Sandra, Cassandra, Michaela, Julia, Gloria, Julian, Mark, Colin, Paula, and Ye.
The day’s been both relaxing and productive. Today, each team met to really hammer out the details of each day they will be responsible for during the program. But after a rigorous morning of preparation and nice lunch together, we all indulged in an hour of professional Chinese massages. Authentic and oodles more inexpensive than its America counterparts, this massage were just what my knotting back needed (although Julia did mention some rather painful sounding chiropractic moments).
We even got these really cool matching pajamas

Rejuvenated; Wesley, Gloria, Sandra, Michaela, Julian, and Cassandra set out to purchase and collect necessary materials for our program activities, while the rest of us remained at the hotel to work on additional program planning.
After a logistics meeting and some quality team bonding through a game called “Spotlight On” (a nightly ritual), we dispersed for bed. Tomorrow, we will finally meet our mentees for the first time. We’re all so excited—I’ve been giddy butterflies ever since I heard we would have to doing introductory activities with them. So here’s to a successful tomorrow!
Cheers,
~Dave
