Today we rode bikes around Bruges in search of a windmill. We might have ridden a few miles in the wrong direction, but if you look hopelessly confused, someone will always help you find your way.

A Little Cultural Confusion

Our students who go abroad occassionally experience cultural dissonance—a feeling of discomfort because of cultural variation from what the student is used to. Sometimes the cultural difference is large, like a language barrier.
