Figure C.20: Our good-bye dinner

US-China IRES program had offered us a unique experience to explore the oriental world. Through technology research, we found that the researchers in China have a tremendous potential to compete with those in USA. Through cultural exchange, we found that things can be viewed from a completely angle in other community.

During the trip, we encounter all different obstacles. At first, we had some problem with the communication with local students because they could be shy or not confident with their English. Later, some of us cannot get used to the local exotic food and weather. Finally, we fell in love with China and expect to stay longer. IRES program have profoundly broaden our horizon and gave a chance to learn from other culture.
