Even if it’s a few sentences a day of what you did, it will make your experience that much better when reflecting. Third, even though respect should be universal wherever you are, you have to respect the people and country you are in for the time period. A small gesture of respect would be learning different customs before going to the country you are interested in. It is courteous to at least respectfully pretend you know what you’re doing, even if you have no idea. Lastly, you have to make sure you are safe. The world is a scary place if you don’t have an idea of what is going on, but you can be safe and have a great time if you prepare and research properly. I’ve really enjoyed my time in Shanghai, and I really do hope I get the opportunity to come back here again.
Thanks for following my journey!
