Hi there! My name is Ace, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to my ePortfolio documenting my journey as an American discovering the vibrant city of Suzhou, China. This blog is a window into my experiences, reflections, and growth as I explore this remarkable cultural landscape.
As part of my intercultural studies, I’ll be journaling weekly about my encounters with Suzhou’s traditions, people, and daily life. Whether it’s strolling through the serene classical gardens, tasting local delicacies, or navigating the rich history and modern innovations of the city, I’m diving headfirst into this cross-cultural adventure.
Through my posts, I aim to critically examine my own feelings, reactions, and personal evolution as I engage with readings, class discussions, and on-the-ground experiences. Expect a mix of thoughtful reflections, cultural analyses, and plenty of vivid moments captured in words, pictures, and videos.
This blog is not just a record of my journey but also a platform to apply the concepts I’m learning in class and to explore how they intersect with real-world experiences. It’s a space for growth, curiosity, and connection—and I hope it inspires you to embrace the beauty of cultural exchange.
Thank you for joining me on this journey!
Warmly,
Ace.
