Astonish- ing as it may seem, many CHS students traveled to far away countries this summer. Entered in programs such as AFS, American Field Service or programs associated with a religious organization, many CHS students opened their horizons to the world. Traveling to a variety of countries found CHS students in Denmark, Isra- el, Spain and Switzerland. Traveling to other countries most CHS students' ambi- tion was to leam the culture of the other countries. UI wanted to leam about the Swiss culture and I wanted to share Amer- ica with them, said Karen Kohn 4125 an AFS traveler to Swit- zerland. The biggest lesson perhaps was the variance in different cultures, groups and people of our global village. UI exposed myself to more interesting and different peo- ple. I became more tolerant of their differences, said Debbie Minnigerode 4111, an AFS traveler to Denmark. Adjusting to their new world was a difficult task to do. The impression the CHS travelers got was a shock of a new world. Many students thought the language was difficult to adjust to and others found the rest areas hard to adjust to.

TINA OGG created tension for me at first, but later on it became a way of life. Traveling afar created a variation of cultural changes. The major change was how long the day was, and every- thing closed around noon. Nobody ate until ten or eleven at night either, said Melissa Heiman, 4115 a traveler to Spain. Tina Ogg 412D , a traveler to Venezula, found that the fam- ily was of great importance there. lt made me become more appreciative of my fami- ly, said Ogg. Retuming from their voyages to faraway lands, they all stated that it was a once in a lifetime experience, leaming about another country, and leaming about themselves. While traveling in Israel I leamed more about my heri- tage, said Corey Samberg 4121. Life is harder for teenagers in Israel, they know they might not live until tomorrow, said Lowenthal. Affecting many CHS travelers lives, they all said what a fun and exciting time they had. If you ever have a chance to visit a foreign country, take it, because it is a worthwhile experience that you will draw upon, said Heiman. - Laura Mansfield I r , I I u I '--,,',,,i V . I I Fo -P I

The variety of foods also created interests in the students. 14lTRAVEL MAGAZINE DESIGN ...TINA OGG
