BUHS students L-R: Fei, Sarah, Erin, Leah, and "the Donald" Owen We were presented University t-shirts and batik bags by our hosts and in turn presented them with Vermont memorabilia and AACE t-shirts.	Our hosts from the University on the left and our colleagues at the Experimental School on the right, with Tienming to the far right, our University sponsored guide, translator and traveling companion. The AACE students were AWESOME at this event (notice they get their own table to sit at, this was the seating arrangement our hosts suggested).
