Cosmopolitism at Divine Word

For sure, it is not easy to go and talk to people from different culture : Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese, Sudan, Mexico, etc. However, since we arrived at Divine Word College, we tried to introduce ourselves and to know more people everyday. The best way to do it is to have lunch together around the same table. Everyday we change of partner at lunch and we can so create bond with them, exchanging sometimes our e-mail addresses.
This is very interesting to meet those people who some years or months ago, arrived like us in Iowa and try to make connections around them. To compare our cultures and to talk about how we see the world as well as what is going on are often what we deal with in that time of the day.
