Now Calling Flight CA982 (Just Kidding!)

Authored By:

Are humans inherently good or inherently evil? Can you enjoy an experience through the lens of a camera? Is The Legend of Korra a horrible television show? These were the conversations that helped us bear the hours before we could board Air China CA982. Three hours worth of delays later, we're still wating to get on the plane, but at least we can see it! Already it's clear that Tova, Leilani, Ana, and Connor make a fantastic team of fascinating, thoughtful, brilliant young people. Though we're still undecided on the good vs evil question (we have both Hobbes and Locke followers in the group), it's easy to tell there will be truly engaging conversations and growth in the near future of our intrepid Global Discoverers. In the meantime, this foursome is putting the next hour of American data and wifi to good use. Our new boarding time isn't for another 50 minutes!

Ana, Leilani, Tova, and Connor take a break from chatting to play games on their phones. For the next three weeks, phones will be away as they discover a culture completely new to them.
