Discussion 3:

Please choose three out of the five to respond. Your response to all of your chosen questions should be at least 150 words in total. Please do not forget to respond to at least one other student’s response after you complete yours.

1. What kind(s) of culture shock did these Satsuma students experience as they boarded their ship and sailed toward Britain? Describe one or two that you find to be most interesting/surprising/memorable. Are they similar to the kind(s) of culture shock that international students from East Asia experience today? In what ways? If not, in what ways?

2. Take a look at the map of their route to Britain. What do you think these ports/cities that they stopped at had in common during that period of time, and why do you think the chose this route? 

3. These students received alias names (p. 34). Why did they have to use false names when traveling, and why do you think some of them kept using these names for the rest of their lives? Do you or someone you know who is studying abroad (or studied abroad) adopt a different name when abroad? Why?

4. The students wrote poems before their departure (pp. 36-37). Please write a poem about your study abroad experience, or your future study abroad experience. Follow the four- or eight- line template that these Japanese students used, and briefly explain what your poem means for us.

5. Any questions/comments after you read these two chapters?
