Recently Alex Reeder has traveled to China for a three week cultural exchange program. The trip departed America on May 3rd, 2012 and returned to the states on May 27th. While in China Alex visited Beijing, in which he and the group toured the Great Wall, Forbidden City, Tienanmen Square and the Summer Palace. Alex and the group then arrived in Chongching, where they lived at Chongching Technological and Business University for the remainder of the trip. During our time at CTBU we learned basic language, art history, music history, and experienced the culture! China and CTBU were all very welcoming to us, and we could not have made it as far as we did without our partners. While there, Alex presented one of his lettered shirts to his male Chinese partner to show his appreciation and gratitude for everything he had done. They were always there for us every step of the way. Partners at first, but Friends forever!
