Susanne Lang

(Political science student from Germany – Joined Global Passport Ho

Chi Minh City from Feb 2014 to Mar 2014)

"Coming from a Western country, arriving to Vietnam was already a

shock itself to me. The amount of motorbikes I saw with one look was

the biggest I have ever seen in my entire life. It took me about three

weeks to get used to that and to be able to cross the street on my

own- that is half of my time in Vietnam! My second biggest challenge

was to get used to get stared at. I was asked to be in a picture with

them numerous times. But I was never angry at your people. I

understand that I look like I'm from a different planet to you, and

honestly you do look the same to me as well sometimes. But that's

what it's all about, right?

INTERN’s SHARING

This was a truly international experience for both sides.

At first they were so shy, so polite. But I tried my best to break their

mask and thinking of that awesome party at the end of the

project I consider this mission as accomplished.

We talked about sex, abortion, unusual family types and politics

during our classes in Global Passport.

I've never met so thankful sincere people in my life. Every effort

the other teachers and I put in their education they literally loved

us for. And I really hope so much to see them again one day and

to give them a big hug to be as thankful for the experience!"
