Europe Day 1

Day 1 in Europe was filled with culture from the beggining. After a long flight from the states we began our trip promptly at 8am Belgium time. Although the majority of the group was extremely tired we began at a local military museum. This was an oustanding experience and make you really think about how new our culture in the U.S is.

Although all of us would like to think we full of culture and open to change it is amazing what happens when you are forced to adjust. There is something very powerless being in a country in which they speak a different language and you look like a tourist simply by the way that you dress. Although the people have been extemely nice it is our responsibilty to understand we are guests in their world. I think it is imperative for leaders to encounter situations like this as they will grow horizontally as much as vertically.
