My favorite part of this section was visiting a completely new location, and having to write about it. Getting to visit the Halloween parade was very enjoyable, but also having to write about it for me also became part of the experience. It really gave me the chance to reflect on what Halloween meant to me back home and what Halloween means to me back here, which I normally would not have expected to be that different.

The manifesto group assignment was an interesting assignment. I haven’t done much group work before, and this class gave me the chance to try something new. Being open to other peoples ideas will probably be something I will do a lot in the future, and being introduced to that was really helpful.
