"The Dukes" - Part 2

Day 2 (June 20, 2015)

We were scheduled to meet at CET office at 6.45pm to go bowling thereafter but I hadn't had lunch and I was so hungry so I left early to grab some Burger King before heading to the office. Then it started to rain when I was heading out. The rain kept pouring harder and harder the closer I get to the office. It was a struggle to stay dry in that weather even with a raincoat on. It's basically an art, especially if you want to keep your shoes dry, assuming that you don't have a car, which is almost always the case in Vietnam. That sentence was confusing, wasn't it?

"The Dukes" - Part 1

I always tell myself that no matter who you are and what you do in life, whether it's a lecture in class, or just an observation you're making, there's always something you can learn from. The past week I was participating in DukeEngage Vietnamese Buddy Program with 10 students from Duke University in North Carolina and, needless to say, I have learned a lot. Whether it's because of my motto or because they basically ooze an intellectual glow as they walk, I feel like I'm absorbing knowledge from them. You know when a duke appears, there will be music playing as he proceeds? It's just like that. Hence I call them "The Dukes".
