Wuhan, China (Blog #2)



Erika and I recently finished our Capstone project. We learned about traditional Chinese medicine and were able to perform the treatments independently on students and patients at the Community Health Center in Wuhan, China. Erika and I really appreciate everything that the students and faculty from the HOPE School of Nursing have done to make us feel at home in Wuhan, China. We could not have completed our project without their help. Many of the students hope to visit the United States and have expressed that they are looking forward to meeting the next group of Case students that visit Wuhan University for their Capstone experience. I hope that Case maintains their relationship with Wuhan University so that more students can have the amazing opportunity I was given.
During our final week in Wuhan the students took us to popular tourist attractions before we left and returned to the United States.  We visited the Yangtze River and Yellow Crane Tower. On our last night in China, the students took Erika and I out to eat and we shared a huge family style meal together.  The students and faculty gave Erika and I hand painted paper fans and traditional Chinese paper cutting artwork.  After dinner, the students taught us how to play games they grew up playing and we all went out for ice cream.  Erika and I will definitely miss the friends we made in Wuhan!
