Pre-Departure

Describe what you think your host culture will be like and how you see yourself interacting with your host culture.  Are you excited, apprehensive, uncertain?  Why?

If you wish, you may combine your photos and photos from a public domain photo site, such as http://www.public-domain-photos.com/, to illustrate the pre-conceived notions you have about your destination and how you see yourself in that culture.  Describe how the photos represent these pre-conceived notions.  For the remaining assignments, use your own photos whenever you can.

Note:  When using photos that aren’t your own, make sure they are from a public domain photo site in order to avoid violating copyright laws.
