The weather forecast promised that today would be one of the last sunny ones before a very rainy week. It was a day devoted entirely to cross-cultural workshops at the Global Lounge.

Audrey Morrell continued to lead the workshops, beginning with a make-up class for those unable to attend the first session. For everyone else, the workshop began at 10:40am with everyone sharing an item of cultural significance that they had brought with them. The session went on to explore in-depth the types of miscommunication that occur between cultures.

After lunch, the class came together to discuss differences between Western and Eastern culture and how those differences developed.
